@WarnerCrocker IMO, Ol' Milquetoast Merrick did exactly what he was hired to do--nothing.The "elites" don't care if we have rule of law or not, because they're protected either way. They know that resources are becoming scarce, and that such a tiny fraction of us are truly self-sufficient. They'll happily sit back and watch us devour each other, while they keep us all dependent on their rigged system. Destroying our illusions of 'control' is a necessary step in turning us against each other.
