One thing you learn very well if you spend any time studying social or cognitive science is that *people are terrible at assessing their own cognitive and emotional states and even worse at predicting them*. People don't know what they think, or why they think it. They don't know themselves.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

It's basically a Maoist Great Leap Forward, but anarcho-capitalist rather than communist (the horseshoe effect makes it look similar in many ways.)
The people who are doing this have a plan and they are implementing it in stages. It ends with resistors disappeared into internment camps or worse.
