Dealing with an overly-powerful beuracacy: "Crowdfunded Assaination Market"

There is now a crowd funded "Assassination Market' in which people pay Bitcoins to have public figures assassinated.  I thought this article was to crazy not to share, in showing how fed up citizens are of overly powerful bureaucracies.  This site, similar to Silk Road, gets people to anaonmously donate money to the killing of a certain political leader. Once the assassination has occurred, the bounty can then anonymously collect the reward.  "In the four months in which Assassination Market has been online, six targets have been submitted, including NSA director Keith Alexander, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke and President Barack Obama." (elitedaily.com) The site was inspired by the Edward Snowden NSA leaks. The founder of the site told Forbes, “after about a week of muttering ‘they must all die’ under my breath every time I opened a newspaper or turned on the television, I decided something had to be done. This is my contribution to the cause.”

Although this is an extreme example, many other citizens are fed up with overly powerful bureaucracies.  I looked a bit deeper into one of the targets, NSA director Keith Alexander, and found this article called American's Secerest 4th Branch of the Government, NSA kept even Obama in the Dark  (http://www.juancole.com/2013/10/americas-branch-government.html)  Edward Snowden's leaks showed the NSA was spying on many political leaders, and even Obama was not informed. The implications for citizens are that a "bureaucracy funded at $52 billion a year by [tax dollars] keeps our elected leaders in the dark about it's activities."  America was founded on the idea of democracy,
"but the NSA appears to be a secret kingdom that appropriates our money with no oversight or accountability. We didn’t elect it, and if it doesn’t let our chosen representatives know what it is up to, then it is taxing us without giving us any representation. It is a tyrant. It is an ominous homunculus within the body politic." Although this article specifically talks about the NSA, the ideas we have discussed in class about how bureaucracies led by senior leaders are not being run efficiently, effectively or ethically can be applied to many different bureaus.
