Subject: Re: Some preliminary observations of your post....

(V): You got it! "V for Vendetta" is a window into the truth. That's a great movie. It is one reason I liked you before you ever posted. lol

That is also one of the themes of Orwell's great book, "1984" (as I'm sure you know!). That is, the government leaders counted its own population as the real enemy. Occasionally bombs flew in from "somewhere," to let the people know there is an enemy out there and the government is providing protection. And to justify domestic repression & oppression, the curtailment of civil liberties, etc.
