it is a tangled web and for some of us, there are things we wish we did not know.

the corporate land/resources grabs of federal properties and the patriot militia movements are all mixed up together and perversely wedded. and, not in a good way. when the shit hits the fan we will truly not be able to differentiate our friends from foes.

for example, i have law enforcement and ex military family members who are caught up in all of this stuff. they just can't seem to be able to sort out how they are acting against their own best interests because the propaganda messages, fervor, masculine egos, misinformation, ignorance, and weaponized testosterone are becoming more and more uncontrollable & combustible.
