I am not so hasty to summarily dismiss much nowadays.
It seems the more outrageous the idea, the more crackpot sounding the plan, the more likely it is, simply because it has become vogue to summarily dismiss such things as 'conspiracy theories'. What better cover for larcenous and anti-American activity?
Smokin’ Joe and Karographer - have you read Travis McGee/Matthew Bracken’s trilogy - “Enemies Foreign and Domestic”?
I cannot say how highly I recommend them. Anyone who reads them will have an education into what is happening now, what could very well happen, most like will - and WHY we all need to prepare for it.
