A microcosm of the plunder and death from socialists. BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM. Secret lists, death panels, rotting corpses is all part of the UNaffordable, UNaccountable, UNcaring Act, aka TOTALITARIANCARE.
UNaccountable bureaucrats are socialists. The pawns/willing accomplices of the agenda-driven, narcissistic, elitist TOTALITARIANS.
When one studies the russian revolution(the bolshevik one)one finds that the military was a target group— to get them to mutiny and provide their arms and ammo to the bolshies. And they did, killing their officers.
Now, this is more sophisticated— to get all federal agencies armed and able to act as an internal armed federal police answerable only to the Executive. In so doing, discouraging quality patriots to join our military, they have then degraded the military and upgraded the gestapo, or staatspolizei. This is chilling. We must fight it, totally.
