53. Isn't this how it all begins? A person here. A person there.
We've read dozens and dozens of stories like this. People trying to expose the government with DIRECT evidence of their crimes - only to have the whistleblower be persecuted? Systematically sending out warnings to all others who have that inner voice telling them to do the right thing - conditioning them to be afraid of listening to it.

"Keep your head down," is the heed of that warning.
"Don't ruin your career," they advise you.

Slowly, surely, dissent begins to arode. Less patriots come forward. Our shouts become whispers. Our whispers become silence. Our President becomes a Dicator.

Isn't this how it all begins?

Then, it has begun.
