@Muppet Had a thought after seeing the song about Waco in the Feds thread. Call me crazy, but what if the Feds know that they're going to be defunded and their backstop has been to flood the US with a couple battalions of Jihadi's? Think Mutually Assured Destruction, but with Jihadis instead of nukes.
Given the politicization of intel agencies and their criminality at home, associations with organized crime, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, etc, no one really trusts them. What if the swamp sees the writing on the wall and in order to keep their praetorian guard in place they've decided to sabotage the ship? If they go down, we go down with them.
Or at least cause enough chaos and dissatisfaction that another swampy group can supplant them and/or strip us of our freedoms.
