A series of bombshell NSA leaks has renewed the call for more oversight of our nation's spying agencies. But, the best the White House and Congress can offer is a secret court that issues secret warrants and writes secret legal opinions. RT Political Commentator Sam Sacks reports on what exactly is going down in the secret FISA court.
Authoritarian governments use secrecy and fear to control their citizens. That is what we have in the US today - all nicely wrapped up in a flag. You can dress fascism up all you want but in the end you have to call it what it is.....fascism - the wedding of corporations and the government.
The facade is crumbling all around us. People around the world have long ago learned that the American "democracy show" was like a Hollywood production - all image and no reality. Now that same truth is coming home to the American people. Some still refuse to see the writing on the wall but many have begun to acknowledge the truth.
The corporate dominated media is working overtime to bring on talking heads who defend the government's secrecy and destruction of our constitutional rights to privacy, speech, assembly and free press. They are fearful that even greater truths will be revealed by other courageous whistleblowers. In a panic they must press ahead hard to crack down in a futile attempt to stop the bleeding.
But the horse is now out of the barn and there will be no returning. The corporate democracy show is over and it's just a matter of time before the final curtain falls.
