Years ago, I read a novel that had as it’s first scene the following:

Couple sitting at home read or watching TV and the SWAT team shows up and orders them out of the house because they need it for a sniper position. The couple leaves without making any fuss and as they exit the door they hear... Hey check the fridge maybe they’ve got some beer!

It sounded so d*mn far-fetched at the time. Today though? Yeah, totally believable.

The end result in the novel was an ‘underground resistance’ dedicated to eliminating the government and restoring it with a constitutional one. (It’s a NOVEL, NSA!)

Still it makes you wonder what the author saw so many decades ago that made him write such a story.

Ha, you are either pretty young or just too dammed busy trying to make a living if you have not noticed it before.

It has been building up to this for a long time.
