We also see our rights being taken away and, that was another of Hedges' points: They aren't trying to hide it. They are robbing us blind and raping us in broad daylight. They know they don't need to hide it, they just need most of the people to have some sort of Stokholm Syndrome,

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should
not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all
experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while
evils are suffer-able, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms
to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and
usurpation's, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to
reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their
duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their
future security.
