Yes, I know... it's at the point where even the most
non-conspiratorial types are now acknowledging that. Finally.

It'll take a lot more than just that to get them to let go of
government offices though. Many government departments have bought
large amounts of ammunition - hollow point bullets, no less. I expect
they've anticipated significant resistance from the public at some
point in the future. Why does the IRS, Education, Health depts, Social
Security or the EPA need millions of hollow point bullets? Why are
American police forces becoming militarised?
