Historically, when ever a revolution or coup starts, the very first action is to take control of national communication - radio, TV, etc.

Yes, all one has to do is ask: "Who wants this?" Soros, the $8B long-lost left-wing Koch brother... ;)

We found out too late, if we had got wind of it when they started this, we'd had more time to deal with it. This is like letting the dog in and it barfs on the floor. Where did that come from kinda thing...
