They declared war on the united States a long time ago. William Cooper provides the actual documents proving it. Why it took so long in my view, is because the American psyche was always patriotic and the teeth behind patriotism was always the 2nd Amendment. Now, the American psyche has been weakened and purposely divided. We still have the 2nd Amendment, but we are no longer the cohesive and unified republic we once were. This is why they are making their move now. It's their best opportunity to destroy the united States.... before the American people wake up.
