be trusted organizations acting in the public good?

Do we get how dangerous things are getting yet? Organizations like HRW can be used to muddle and confuse people and disconnect them from very real human rights issues and crisis.

What happens when a corporate money "cabal" runs all three branches of government as well as major international rights organizations? Is there really any objectivity left in such a situation? Especially when the revolving door includes the Military industrial complex?
