The establishment has no come back plan. For them its full speed ahead with any certain loser they can convince to take the fall. The Marxists must survive in order to bring about the One World Government so long sought after by the Bilderbergers, Tri-Laterals, GOPe & other various Agenda 21 types. They are already more than two generations behind schedule. There is no stopping them now...at least in their opinion.
They always have the ace card. I have little doubt they’ll play it if it comes down to it.
