Today, if you are smart, then you will even be targeted to have your ideas stolen, and suppress you via covert means if your technology is disruptive to the status quo.
Sounds a lot like what happened to Aaron Swartz. He pretty much invented wikipedia, before that pornographer stole Arron's concept. He started reddit, and was pretty much forced out to pay for his legal battles against the federal government. And then he was found dead, hanged in his apartment, a few days before receiving the verdict to his case. He turned down a plea bargain that would have cost him only 6 months in federal prison. Those are not the actions of a guilty man.
Its more than just marginalization and intellectual theft. They will take everything you have, and still kill you if you oppose the direction this nation is headed. 'Evil empire' is too kind a phrase for this dystopian BS.
