Reply #19: You don't know -- and you're not supposed to know

There are people who purposely remain in the shadows -- or appear in public in different disguises who run these things.

The problem is that they have developed a perfect cover. The minute someone gets close to piercing the veil, they send out the "tinfoil hat brigade." We even have them here on DU. Come to close to the truth and there will be someone pointing at you and laughing about "tinfoil hats" and getting everyone else to laugh at you too.

Nothing we're seeing in the US today was unexpected. It was predicted by people, many of whom were marginalized and ridiculed.

Cheney is more key to this than you may realize. He has had a dream of an American dictatorship for over 35 years now. This has been his goal.

But the fascists/corporatists (take your pick) have been on this quest since the 1930s. Nothing that has happened since then has been an accident -- or the act of a "crazed lone gunman."
