Surely you have concrete proof that illegal blackmail occurs within the US Government, right?
Wrong. If this were the case, Congress would've defunded US IC years and years ago. You underestimate the determination of US Congressmen to investigate and get their name in the spotlight.
There is nobody in the world of politics whom they can't blackmail in 5 nanoseconds. As long as you are good tool they won't say a thing. But once you get too independent...
that's how democracies work from US to Germany. They are ran by secret services. In some places it is more visible and obvious - Russia, Poland, France, Israel - in some less. However, when you think about, that's the problem with all democracies. That the intelligence communities are running them from the shadow.
Why do you think in the US all the Nazis were so cooperative with the State? Because the CIA had them by the balls - we're going to ignore your past as long as you cooperate. The minute you don't the public finds out about the war crimes you committed. Have you noticed how all politicians have their careers ended once they become troublesome to the current state of affairs. Somehow, somebody tells the media some dark secret about lovers, cocaine, money, whatever, bam! You are history!
