It [the State] has taken on a vast mass of new duties and responsibilities; it has spread out its powers until they penetrate to every act of the citizen, however secret; it has begun to throw around its operations the high dignity and impeccability of a State religion; its agents become a separate and superior caste, with authority to bind and loose, and their thumbs in every pot. But it still remains, as it was in the beginning, the common enemy of all well disposed, industrious and decent men.
Henry L. Mencken, 1926.
The “Feds”. Elliot Ness’s days have long since past. Al Capone, at least he was honest. You took an oath to “The Mob” back in them days and you were a dead man if you broke that oath.
Today, you can trust no one. You better have done your vetting on a guy if he’s to be trusted. A small group is easier to insure against infiltration.
I’d be willing to discuss coordination but that typically brings unwanted attention. If anyone’s got some ideas, I invite you to just toss ’em in the mix. It may spark a “brainfart” down the line. In the meantime, maintaining my “minuteman” status. I will be defending my life and freedom at all costs.
