88. "if you knew what we knew"
Or more likely "if it was known" then trying to tear the weeds from the wheat would take everything down.
Of course we have dutiful, sometimes truly gullible, top Democrats who will nobly go about their duties.
The furthest Dems have ever gone perhaps is with Sen. Church on the last JFK assassination commission. I think they were starting out worse than are now, with people like Edmonds simmering the truth under an absurdly obviously suppression. The whole economy, whole myth and system of government was and is even more threatened, blackmailed by the snakes. The Dems who blanched before simply taking it all down- in their place what would you have done, without retrospect?- tried unwisely and not too well to just get in and gently fix things, compromise, heal and loosen the threatening bonds. Kerry took down BCCI. Clinton started entwining peaceful and prosperous results into the dismal strangulation. Fall short. Hands off. Delicately.

Even now, when by their own overreaching unsustainable madness, these treacherous people seek to add and ride the beast of several unavoidable crises, the concern is more for the whole than the satans implanted at all critical junctions. Even if it all were to happen in a year, the dissolution of this particular civilization, unimaginable breakdown and loss, they might justify to themselves that they had done the right thing. It is like dismantling a mega nuclear bomb under Yellowstone. It is easier not to even try and just go about "normal" life, as long as it lasts, and begin to believe the comforts of denial aided by whatever blissful ignorance remains.

The character of Dems in these cases has been very very consistent, from Sen. Fullbright refusing to get involved in the Pentagon Papers(retreating behind the law that had been abused into an evil joke) to Senator Kerry boldly taking on BCCI despite Lord knows how many obstacles and not seeing while accepting the blinders, accepting the "closure". We get so far in this dualistic hidden sparring, mutually needing the system to survive, and then the jig is up for everyone. By then, the champions of measured response and denial and the villains of exploitation and rule control, are equally incompetent to handle reality.

Most people don't know, but given the late stage of everything, the dissemination of information "too dangerous" for us to know, it probably would take about ten minutes to present to all the peoples of the world who with calm rage and determination would all favor it be addressed. By then, of course all the frantic triggers would be pulled, while all the lesser perhaps decent system managers would be occupied in trying to spin the people away from their resolve. The price of "in our best interests" has escalated close to human extinction already. Dems were not prepared to open the windows then and the ones in the highest positions are not now.

It seems if things are going to go very bad, we are supposed to pretend we don't know why, with ignorance being the measure of success until the last domino falls.
