Why is information regarding activities of organizations (e.g. governments and publicly-traded companies) confidential (i.e. private)? Should not information that obviously impacts public interest and the very fiduciary duty that the government normatively fulfills be known to the public? While on the topic, why is information that normatively should be private (e.g. my keystrokes when searching the Internet or even when searching my own computer) public (i.e. governments collect the information without permission and without any judicial oversight, while IT companies use this information and even sell it for profit)? When did I ever agree to sell or share my personal information? In short, what should be public information today is treated private (i.e. confidential to governments and companies), and what should be private information is treated public (i.e. available to government and companies). Also, why do federal governments cut deals in international organizations and assume obligations before they even have Constitutional authority to do so? For instance, federal governments meet together and agree on international regulations in certain industries even when the authority to institute such regulations necessarily impedes or usurps responsibilities delegated to provincial, state, or local governments, not the federal government. It becomes like a Ponzi scheme of fiduciary duty: countries hand off their fiduciary responsibilities to international organizations before they even have those responsibilities to begin with. Then, federal governments go back and pressure and manipulate provinces and states to hand over against their will what the federal government has already committed to give away. How do they work this way? This is the way that employees of federal governments earn their salaries and funds their campaigns: by catering to the interests of international organizations and corporations. For these reasons, I no longer trust legislatures or executives to serve public interest. Instead, I see these people as corrupting and perverting whatever justice and checks on power were intended to be build into systems of government. One can only hope that justice will be served eventually. Also, why do international actors act as though it is their right to sink governments that fail to comply with the corporate mod, e.g. poor countries like Ecuador?
