Both funny and sad! On the matter of what is happening to/in the USA, I would suggest a careful read of "Anatomy of the Deep State" by Mike Lofgren. It was posted late in February on Bill Moyer's site. One of the most insightful pieces I have read in a long time. (I dont want to post a link here, just search it).
