The American Empire
Yes even though it may not seem so obvious, quietly America has a hidden empire right now today right in front of your eyes if you will only open them and see it for that which it is. You might consider that a good thing, but to those in power it is that we the people are their subjects when they are to be subject to our will, not the other way around.
We have American Imperialism, sometimes Benevolent Imperialism and quite often though we ignorantly remain unaware, great atrocities are instigated such as what we did in Chile just a few decades back. We ruined and destroyed many thousands of lives for the selfish desires of a few selfish people acting in the form of corporate power involving the industrial military complex that President Eisenhower warned us against. Yet even when it is too late so many of us refuse to ever see what is in front of our faces.
Those greedy desiring so much power have a deep hole inside of them that can never be filled within them no matter how many lives they wantonly destroy. You dictators in the end will have nothing, nothing, nothing. It is only by knowledge that we are saved from dictators.
Benjamin Franklin may have said it first, "Those who surrender their freedom for a little security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one."
