Right now FE'ers represent no threat to the ruling elite. We are too small a group with little to no power and little to no influence. As long as we are regarded as a bunch of lunatics by the mainstream the elite won't care. In fact, they probably are laughing their asses off at how weak we are despite how right we are.
Now, if we were to grow in size and power; if the day came when we are debating this subject on Larry King and This Week and Good Morning America -- yes, then we would really have to watch our backs. I suggest that all interviews with the mainstream press should be conducting from undisclosed, remote locations via satellite.
