1/ Stop this weird belief you have that the people controlling countries are elected politicians.
2/ Stop this weird belief you have that you have any rights
3/ Stop this weird belief you have that the people running your country have any interests at heart except their own.
Im not a conspiracy nut, I am a realist, I am fairly intelligent and I drew conclusions long ago that nothing has been able to change, simply because all evidence points to the reality of what I think:
large countries of the first world (I use first world in its original unsullied meaning: the countries (mostly democratic) that are allied along the NATO axis (2nd world being the soviet alligned factions, and Third World Countries, although now used to describe less economically developed countries, actually means countries and states that refused to align themselves with the NATO world supremecy pack or the Soviet side)) are run for the financial benefit of the aristocracy. The US is a leader in this area, and that they monitor all communications should not surprise anyone. George Orwell wasn't writing fiction, Robert Tressel wasn't writing fiction, they were trying to improve the life of man by showing you all (most) refuse to see: Your being used.
But we are the dominant species on the planet because of greed. So no surprise, the ruling class are the greediest. It's what compells them to rule. They are greedy for power that they can convert into money. To sustain lifestyles they believe will make them happy.
I'm not trying to make you "wake up" or see reality, only you can do that, but to do it requires some truths: money is, essentially, worthless. It has no value. You cannot eat it, you cannot make shelter from it (well you can but its just not practical now is it?), you cannot heal your wounds with it, and it will not grant you immortality. At the end of it all, we all die. That's the ONLY certainty in life: death.
I used to believe that phrase "There are only 2 certainties in life: Death, and Taxes"....but then I stopped paying taxes. Now I have only death ahead. It's scary. But I accept it. No longer does any goverment have control over me: There is NOTHING they can do to stop me from dieing one day, and as such they have no power over me. When challenged by letter and visit from my local goverment as to WHY I no longer payed taxes, I challenged THEM: what can they do? Arrest me, and provide me free food and shelter for a while? Welcome, come, take me. The letters stopped.
The only control anyone has over your life is what you give them. The only right is that one day you will die. Stop pretending we live in a world where right or wrong excist. I feel injustice. I too know rightous indignation. But I don't feel them towards the actions of goverments: Why should I? They are merely looking after their own interests: why shouldn't they? If I relied on you for my way of life to continue, I too would monitor what you were doing, to ensure you dont start taking control of your life and stop supporting mine.
You cannot blame greedy people for being greedy. You also cannot blame people who lie and cheat whole populations for being paranoid.
Grow up people.
EDIT: Erasmas, your living ina dream world if you think that "freedom" and goverment can ever co-exist, the two concepts are essentially the opposite of one another.
