Very interesting, thank you. At the front you state that the Security agencies should have seen Jan 6 coming and dealt with it years ago. When the history of "dealing with it" has has had the opposite effect and so successfully fed the Western/Southern outlaw mythology (Waco, Weaver, McVeigh etc), what is it that can be easily done, especially in this post-truth social media times?

Thank you Michael. Your explanation throws light on what happened during the riot at the Capitol . I am a Canadian and could see Donald Trump would cause trouble on January 06. I was horrified to see the Confederate flag on display, but did not know until later that the bulk of the rioters were Neo-Nazis and white supremacists. This is very dangerous for the future of the US. Canada cannot continue to be complacent either as there are about 60 Neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups up here. Excellent book on this subject is WEB OF HATE

by Warren Kinsella . I will follow your writing with interest.
