As we approach the 10th anniversary of State failure day, or what instantaneously became war and power day, the demonization of dissenters is stepping up. I am not sure of the facts, myself, though I do know that CYA is the constant government mode. So who can doubt that, at the very least, various State snafus were covered up? And when was the last time the government told the truth about anything? Of course, we cannot assume that just because the events of that day were so good for the regime that they were planned by the regime. But I do think that over the last 10 years, as a result of that day, the military-security junta has come to rank almost with the banker junta in the overlord sweepstakes. And anything we are ordered not to examine—Don’t look into that, you Bad Person!—should be examined on that ground alone.
