Whether you favor collective rights or individual rights a power structure at the beck-and -call of moneyed interests does not serve the people or the national will.

Hamstringing the NSA also neuters their technological providers or contract corporations. That government money goes elsewhere.

The same with the War on Drugs or any other government programs. Follow the Money.

It is just a corporate oligarchy with representatives bought by them.

It is also happening to the EU.

If you are happy with that kind of government just because the say what you want to hear, who is the nut case?
It's a matter of degree. There is some truth to what he said, but it's taken far into loonieland. And use of the term "Military-Industrial Complex" is usually a tell-tale sign that someone has crossed that boundary.

Corporations do act without morals and screw over people from time to time. But to say that corporations have no morals at all, that all they do is screw over people, that's taking things too far. Same with politicians. I'm sure some go into politics to enrich themselves. But at least as many do so for idealistic purposes.

And sorry - the Sovereign Citizen movement is the height of ignorance. Anything beats being one of those loonies.
