Stop being wilfully ruled by war criminals and start prosecuting their crimes.
The civil means for wresting back control over our government exists - we have to have the courage to use it. That means, prosecuting our own war criminals.
After all, it is the criminals with the most blood on their hands which want to use the tools of the state to repress the public, from which they derive their actual power, and who are the only ones with the resources to actually do something effect about the criminals getting away with it.
These rights-violating mechanisms exist to protect the criminal ruling elite only.
Seriously, to clean up our government: prosecute our war criminals. The war crimes are real, the crimes against humanity are real, the human rights violations are real. What isn't, is the general publics' stomach for the embarrassment they must experience in order to confront the fact of their own wilful rule by dyed-in-the-wool war criminals.
This discomfort at the fallacy of our own moral authority over nations considered to be 'worse human rights violators' has to be replaced with outrage at the actual human rights violations we are allowing to be committed in our name, or else we continue the slide into the abyss..
