Which leads me to wonder, why do they need surveillance of the common man. The government does not trust its citizen. Is it because it knows it has turned its citizenry into something that can be manipulated?


There are many theories. But lets look at what they are doing:

- They dont care about their spending (US national debt is insane).

- They dont put any money in improving the country (almost everything goes to the war machine).

Only a country who knows none of this is going to matter in the future would do this since its suicidal, obviously.

So why is it not going to matter? I dont think we want to know... but the survellience is there for them to feel safe against us when it happens.
