In reply to the discussion: I just learned where the CIA got the term "enhanced interrogation." [View all]Thespian2

Your information is sufficient. I wish I could answer your question. Once Reagan was put in power and surrounded himself with a couple of hundred criminals, the decline in America was pushed onto the so-called slippery slope. Corporate leaders continued their plans to control the states and the federal government. Reagan's minions crushing of the unions and his continuing wars which funded the military-industrial complex kick-started America's descent into oblivion. How long the process will take? Who knows? Even the Koch brothers can't estimate the time of the total domination. They are paying for it, and certainly hope to have control in the near future.
