    Because we’d get caught and then destroyed in the media by the elite who want to keep doing it.

    Can you imagine the outcry from the hardliners of either major US political party if someone with even minor leanings towards their “enemy” kills one of their elite?

    The reality is, while many people say they’d willingly do that, the vast majority of people have too much to lose if they do, and they know it.

    That’s the real issue. The political elite have been pushing us right up to the breaking point for 100s of years, and they’ve learned just how far they can go without starting an actual revolution.

      It would be interesting if we got some way to crowdfund a defense, but there’s no way the government would be dumb enough to allow that to happen.
