The assault on the living standards of working and middle class
Americans in order to fund the endless series of wars, and not the
so-called ‘war on terror’, is the reason the state has developed massive
cyber warfare against the US citizenry. The issue is not only a
question of a violation of individual privacy: it is fundamentally an
issue of state infringement of the collective rights of organized
citizens to freely engage in public opposition to regressive
socio-economic policies and question the empire. The proliferation of
permanent bureaucratic institutions, with over a million security ‘data
collectors’, is accompanied by tens of thousands of ‘field operators’,
analysts and inquisitors acting arbitrarily to designate dissident
citizens as ‘security risks’ and
imposing reprisals according to the
political needs
of their ruling political bosses. The police state apparatus has its
own rules of self-protection and self-perpetuation; it has its own
linkages and may occasionally compete with the Pentagon. The police
state links up with and protects the masters of Wall Street and the
propagandists of the mass media – even as it (must) spy on them!
