		<description><![CDATA[Blanket censorship of internal criticisms and critiques, without respect to their efficacy, is a sure sign of a social group lacking the internal social flexibility to withstand a serious external threat to their cohesion. The only thing keeping them together is the static nature of their circumstances; change that and there is a high likelihood of failure.

Such a group is ossified and ready to break.

I hesitate to put a number on it, but I&#039;m willing to wager that a shockingly small number of defectors from the present elite, coordinating with one another in a deadly serious way, could totally up end this country at present.

Perhaps as few as 3-5 of the right men in the right places.]]></description>
