A political analyst says the banking and petroleum groups have controlled the US government for years, favoring corporations over American citizens. According to the results of a recent poll released by Pew Research, 53 percent of Americans consider the US government a 'threat' to their personal rights and freedoms, with nearly three-quarters of Americans saying they only sometimes or never trust the federal government. This is the first time that a majority of respondents have described the US government as a threat against their freedoms since Pew began polling on the question in 1995.

To further discuss this, Press TV has conducted an interview with Scott Rickard, a former US intelligence linguist from Florida, Sara Flounders, an activist with International Action Center from New York, and Brent Budowsky, a columnist with The Hill, Washington.
