Russia controls our elections. Russia secretly zaps our diplomats with brain-beams. Russia places bounties on US troops. Russia has an armada of tanks ready to overrun eastern Europe. Why does all this seem familiar. . . oh yes, I have read '60s era comic books in which the USSR was always a handy-dandy off-the-shelf supervillain.

What was started by Truman as an intelligence clearinghouse for the president has metastisized into the dog-wagging mess it is today -- an unelected and unaccountable government unto itself.

Congress? They no longer oversee, debate, or declare war as is their constitutional function and duty.

The press? What happened there? What was once a tug at Walter Cronkite's elbow is now a spook replacing him in the anchor chair. And while Assange rots, vacuous career climbers who couldn't break a story if their lives depended on it scream as one for more censorship.

The corruption of our institutions is widespread and ongoing. We can not measure our freedom by the number of cans of dog food in aisle 5. As a nation we are deeply in trouble.

When will enough Americans say "Enough!"?
