WOW.

Honestly, I don't subscribe to any of the general notions about "THE MAN" building a huge, complex conspiracy against the average citizen.
This is from personal experience. I have worked as a contractor in the US Congressional offices and the people working in Government are JUST NOT SMART ENOUGH to pull of any such thing. The things that appear to be sophisticated plots are simply dumb luck.
