The reason they are silent is because they have been actively, not passively, complicit. Take Obama, for example. The man kept the patriot act in place, expanded it, killed more people with Drones than Bush, including a U.S. citizen, prosecuted journalists and whistleblowers, etc. Bill Clinton repealed Glass Steagal which created the conditions for the 2007-2008 financial crisis, implemented “triangulation” as a political strategy….

If I were any of these people I would shut the fuck up too.
