Can we ever be free of Government?

So the American government is now using its authority squelch payments to WikiLeaks. Americans and foreign citizens alike are being prevented from supporting what is clearly a political organization. This brings up 2 questions.

1) The founding fathers wrote into the constitution a duty to revolt against ones government should it become a tyranny. Given the strengths of the federal government (which was not part of the original constitution) is that now impossible?

2) For the last year or two I have repeatedly heard "intelligence" experts on the radio talking about how the next war will be a cyberwar and we need to fund their departments or it will be the end of the world. Since the leaks from Wikileaks havnt been all that damaging or mindblowing..is it possible someone took a lesson from 911 and just let this leak happen?

Also, in Sweden, things are getting nasty

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
