I believe it to be true, to an extent. It would put us in a tenuous position, as you say. However, things had become real bad for our teetering Democratic Republic and something was going to have to be done about it. I do not believe the power elite were representing the views of the republic's CITIZENS. Which in affect means we had already lost it and there was going to be conflict on the horizon. Maybe, just maybe this is an effort to save lives and the Republic. Maybe, "they military" represents US/WE the people and they really are the good guys we should expect them to be. Oh and there is also the Annunaki, (just sayin);)
