I'm sure. Never ending power struggles between royalty. Plots and intrigue, backstabbing and skullduggery. But that's among royalty. JFK was voted into office by "we the people". When he was taken out, there wasn't any clearcut successor to his throne. Our Royal Families have gone undetected, so far. (Even so, we did refer to his time as Camelot).

In other words, if there are preordained lines of succession to power in the USA, the newspapers don't talk about it. Otherwise, just as in days of old, we'd have a better idea of who needed to do what to whom, to move up the ladder. As it is, all we have are our conspiracy theory's.

The newspapers and electronic media are owned by the oligarchy so of course they will not give us a look behind the curtain.
