Revolution would work. Except, most Americans are living rather comfortable lives, despite all the surveillance uproar. As you keenly noted - it's always about the money (including the American Revolution). So as long as common folk gets their bone from the elite - they will happily wag their tails.

The military industrial complex is the biggest pile of assignable loot in world history.
$5+ trillion over the last decade alone. Far more if you count everything connected to it.
They knew the wars couldn't go on perpetually forever, and they'll be damned if they're going to give up all that money. One way to dictate that is through control of the political process.
The agenda is the protection of excessive money/wealth.
Which tells you where to look for "who's behind it": Rich people, very rich people. Also: The military-industrial complex.

I think it's like terminal cancer: it will only die when the host dies.
