Watching how our Constitution has been more or less shredded over the last decade plus .. Looking at the bills, laws and executive orders signed / passed / enacted by the current administration...... Looking at the way TPTB has intentionally worked to destroy economies ....... Looking at the way the current administration has cut our military, looked for ways to demonize veterans .......

Nothing would surprise me.

I'm always leery of faceless/anonymous anti-government propaganda. It reminds me of the admonishment "be careful what you ask for".

It also makes me wonder about the big questions:

1) Who does it REALLY benefit to convince the unwashed masses that the U.S. government is corrupt/oppressive/power-hungry?

2) Who will step in to the power vacuum if rioting and/or real civil war occurs here?

I won't be surprised when the extremist fundamentalists, Tea Partiers, Occupy Wall Streeters etc. have all been taken for a ride of their own making.
