......I am more and more convinced this is a silent coup.......

You are correct. It's actually been going on in slow-motion for several years, and different components of it have been thoroughly discussed and argued over right here on FR, e.g. the sabotage and leaks from the CIA and State Dept., to name just one.

The difficulty lies in being willing to break through the natural human tendency for denial and finally have the courage to call a spade a spade, or in this case, to call treason treason.

There is a lot of anger and frustration on this board right now, which mirrors the anger and frustration permeating the general populace. A big factor in that anger we as a people are currently venting and taking out on each other is derived from fear, and the awful realization that our lives and our futures have somehow slipped out of our control and there's not a damn thing we can do about it.

We also realize that those who are actually in control are out of our reach, and since we are powerless to get at them, it is human nature to project our fear and rage against the only people can get to, ourselves, collectively speaking. Hence the ongoing orgies of self-flagellation we are witnessing on FR and elsewhere.

All of which is my much too voluble way of saying I understand your frustration - I feel it too.

If it is any comfort, in however small a way, I believe that this situation cannot last long. It is inherently unstable, and those who believe they are in control have also badly miscalculated by misreading the fundamental reality. They are going to be swept aside by events, and those who survive the coming darkness will be able to rebuild. We must strive to be of good cheer, and remember our faith.

Oh, don't agree with me! I don't want to be a conspiratorialist (because I can't spell it!) :-)
