I have a question for the group... [View all]

Well, it’s a lengthy statement, and then a question, but you get my drift.

We have been apprised, read about, heard about, watched television about, and consumed hundreds if not, thousands of fictional or semi fictional accounts of clandestine operations, run by the CIA, the FBI, the NSA, the defense establishment, and other organizations whose letters escape me right now. On top of everything else, the resources ,the technology, the access to information, these organizations are filled with brilliant people – the three people whom I knew in my lifetime who went into this type of government service were among the most brilliant people I have ever met. They were recruited, and have been in government service for their my entire adult lives.

So here’s the question: do you mean to tell me that these agencies who possess enormous resources and power are just going to sit around and let a bunch of miscreant tinhorn revolutionaries undo that which they have created since the second world war? There is absolutely no action which is off-limits for these people and the agencies to which they belong, particularly here in the United States. I myself am a law-abiding patriotic citizen, but even if I were not the last people I would want to go up against would be this crowd, because there is no negotiation with them once they have decided that you are going to be a thing of the past. I get it, but I just don’t get it.
