As mentioned in other comments, the cabal has a hierarchy.
The upper-level know the walls are closing in fast, and likely trying to insulate themselves or outright escape.
The mid-level are discouraged from exercising independent judgement so they are trusting their lying handlers that all will work itself out.
The meat shields are malleable and will do whatever tell-lie-vision programs them to do.
If there is a prong of the plan that aims to end CCP then Australia may be able to recover. If not then I would expect a hot war in the South Pacific and south Asia. That will be messy and all the traitors will need to be terminated with extreme prejudice.
I have no complaint with the use of the filibuster.
As far as how it plays out, I contend this is foremost a spiritual war. We hold beliefs that are more empowering and rejuvenating than they do so the outcome is inevitable.
Our beliefs lead us to humility, righteousness and ruggedness.
Their beliefs lead them to (self) hate, destruction and mental anguish.
My question is who will be left to build the new systems of trust based on integrity and transparency?
Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus was a Roman patrician, statesman, and military leader of the early Roman Republic who became a legendary figure of Roman virtue— particularly civic virtue —by the time of the late Republic. Cincinnatus was a conservative opponent of the rights of the plebeians who fell into poverty because of his son's violent opposition to their desire for a written code of equally enforced laws. Despite his old age, he worked his own small farm until an invasion prompted his fellow citizens to call for his leadership. He came from his plough to assume complete control over the state but, upon achieving a swift victory, relinquished his power and its perquisites and returned to his farm. His success and immediate resignationi of his near-absolute authority with the end of this crisis has often been cited as an example of outstanding leadership, service to the greater good, civic virtue, humility, and modesty.
