In Colonial America, in the 13 Colonies before our Revolution, dissent was often dealt with abruptly and sternly
by the governor of the state in question. I placed the 1715 Riot Act online because it was one of the more severe
measures. Glenn Greenwald just penned an opinion piece that dances around the question as to what triggered
the riot, and what the drumbeat for the militarization of out police departments let the authorities do, ever since
the War on Drugs began. Are our chickens coming home to roost? Nixon once got political monies from the dictators
affiliated with us. Our War on Terror had people doing enlistments after enlistments. PTSD burnt people out. Sanity
was replaced by nervous breakdowns & suicides. The Right has often recruited ex-vets, they have a level of training.
Toss in the way cults pull "true believers" into them, and the way the internet lets conspiracy theories spread, and
we see how the people who saw the crowd gather could be talked into conforming with the group leaders who had
a plan ahead of time. The public at large is still taking this all in. In two years, HOUSE and Senate seats come up.
