>Combined with the Durham reports findings this is enough for some to say the FBI should simply cease to exist.

Not just the FBI. Remember when the head of the NSA lied to congress, and got away with it? The spy agencies have gone rogue, acting however they wish without consequence.




It's the dark budgets. And yes all spy agencies need them. But the main issue --to me-- is that the US govt works for big biz, not for its voters.

Voting is basically a facade at this point. There is no democracy, we should stop repeating that it is and demand our schools stop repeating as well. We live in a somewhat-free dictatorship/plutocracy. Somewhat free means that you can use freedom of speech to criticize the govt a little bit, but not too much (or you get Assanged/Snowdenized).
