Eventually, if not already, this full scale attack is going to have results. The thoughts now should be what to do if their assaults win out. My guess is the entrenched bureaucracy in the time of George III was much against the upstarts. I am sure the local London media too. A third of the population was in favor of the King also. One of the few distinctions is the rest of the world today does not have one nation that is not someway benefiting from the status quo so there is no outside help on the horizon and surely not one whose help anyone would want. Maybe those Budest monks in Saigon in 61 who lit themselves up felt they were in the same position.
About the monks... we should also light up on fire, but with God’s fire, not with blazing petrol. Of course the situation is beyond mortal control. That doesn’t surprise God, or people who know the kinds of things that God does, at all.
