I guess I am basing my logic off of the occupy protests. The occupy protests got a lot of attention and even though they're still going on in some places, you don't really hear about them any more (not even on conspiracy theory peddling sites like Above Top Secret). The goal was to draw attention to big banks abusing their power and not changing their ways, a couple of years on and all of that protesting only briefly brought attention to the big banking system, but nothing changed. Some people moved money to credit unions, but the big banks like BoA are still around, the protests achieved nothing. In many ways there are similarities between the occupy situation and the N.S.A secret spying program only people are protesting online and bugging their representatives most of which didn't even know about the program until it was publicly leaked. I am a firm believer in standing up for something, especially when it's the Government wronging it's citizens, but I think this whole situation goes deeper than any public opinion truly can penetrate and change. I think the power in this situation like lays with other countries acting on what has been revealed, but most are too afraid to stand up to the US. It's times like these you realise why the US has one of the worlds best funded military regimes in the world because when SHTF who is truly going to stand up to the bigger military entity?
