I don't think it's dramatic to believe the deep state is capable of shutting off our internet, utilities, access to money. They've done comparable things in different formats to their perceived "enemies", and now the definition of "state enemy" or "domestic terrorist" or whatever label is being given is even broader. Due to some of your public research topics, Magnora, you may well be on some sort of low-level watchlist yourself.

Also, that journalists don't care is one of the most chilling and distressing aspects of this. That they will happily report the crappy canned propaganda, and kill the real stories, is even more horrifying. I remember when the OJ trial was the ONLY thing on tv all day, plastered on the front page every day, for months on end. This is such a more important topic and precedent, and yet there is mostly nothing but mass MSM collusion to keep it under the radar and controlled optics.

I think AnarchySpeach is making some solid points, except imho it is not the flock's ignorance that is as loathsome here as the press and politicos using this as the worst kind of political football.
