> You think there is something unique about the US government that makes it a threat to liberty beyond all others?

Yes, raw power and world influence combined with awareness of them.

Governments of small countries may be equally evil. But their ability to influence global developments (such as IoT) is pretty limited and they rarely think and act on world scale. And yes, the US is not even really *unique* in this regard, but still a member of a very small select group.
