Thanks -- I'd forgotten about that guide.

Since 1776 we have been the insurgents. We oppose being ruled by the Crown. We don't want dictators or tyrants ruling over us.

We want to govern ourselves.

The Deep State has become the Crown. It wants us back under its thumb, but this time, it plans to consolidate power even more with other entities, until there is one global planetary empire.

Hence, the counterinsurgency guide describes what our infiltrated government is doing to us.
