“He said, they have the names addresses of every member of Congress, and the Senate, their wives, their children, the school that they go to, all the cabinet members, all of the head officials in Washington, all the officials in state governments. And he said, they will all be assassinated, quickly.”

And the more psychologically dependent Americans are on government, the better the strategy works.

High Dependence: "OMG! What'll we do?!

Low Dependence:: "Okay, guys. Now the real war starts!"

You hit on an important point, America’s dependence on being told what to do.

First off, I think the scenario described in the article is BS.

But hypothetically, what would happen if it occurred? Imagine state and fed officials were struck. They leave the media up and running, and simply broadcast their demands.

How would America respond? I mentioned on another thread the other day that many Americans wouldn’t drink milk of it’s past the due date no matter how good or bad it smelled.

Can an America who can hardly tie their shoes without instructions/orders respond in any meaningful way?

Despite all the bravado we hear/see here everyday, I think many, if not most folks would just roll over and do what they are told.

The military is another story, of course.
