Look at your military budget and at the number of US military bases around the Globe. Controlled mass media? I believe you know how CNN, NBC and Fox work... Obsession with national security? FBI, NSA, DHS, DARPA, ECHELON, Patriot Act etc. Maybe you had no fraudulent elections? Obsession of crime and punishment? Do you know that the USA today have more inmates than the Soviet Union had in Gulags during the Great Stalin's terror of 1937?
