Power sees itself above the law and is constantly engaged in lawless pursuits of its agenda... more power, wealth and control and keeping others from getting any of it. Board rooms are not transparent. Executives and government bureaucrats don't poll or inform the public of their plans... or do so only to comply to minimum standards.
Secrecy is how MOST of this goes down. And it's secret because it unlawful or unethical or both.
It's always been like that.
The democracy in the US is really a fig leaf which enables the powerful and elite to act in much the same way as a monarch would... it's a sort of distributed dictatorship where the elite can wear the mask of democracy and act as fascists and get away with it. All means of accountability had been pretty much stripped away and neutered by now.
It's the Truman show and everyone's acting it and can't tell they are.... and most don't care as they are struggling or stealing.
