I have to go and clean up now. My irony meter just exploded and sprayed parts everywhere.

Sorry, but is your "pop psych" module calibrated to the wrong century?It's spelled teat."
Wow. Apparently alot of folks here are locked in the anal phase of development.
protection of military institutions"
Again, go read about the birth of states. Next, read about the alarming proclivity for states to call in the pawns when the people are getting restless and wishing for freedom. It's a pretty consistent pattern. Cops not enough = call in the drones.
Which particular set of expertice, analysis or experience can you relay to call military personel (screw national distinction. ALL military personel) as "Drones"."
Better question: which CAN'T?
I can think of a few examples, eg Graves. Mostly, however...
“A common and natural result of an undue respect for law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their will, aye, against their common sense and consciences.”
“The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies. In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgment or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well. Such commend no more respect than men of straw or a lump of dirt.”
- Thoreau

From Iran Contra to Gladio, people who initially bring up inconvenient facts are labeled as nuts.

So am I right in saying that all of the normal people have now been filtered out of the CT movement?"
Now here's an imbecile fer shure...
"They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted, still cherish "the illusion of individuality," but in fact they have been to a great extent deindividualized. Their conformity is developing into something like uniformity. But "uniformity and freedom are incompatible. Uniformity and mental health are incompatible too. . . . Man is not made to be an automaton, and if he becomes one, the basis for mental health is destroyed."
- Huxley
