This is a great analysis. I liked the "larger crowd providing cover for the real terrorists."
Having no guns (or very few guns) around does have justification--if a constitutional crisis was the goal.
My next question would be: "Did the planners actually plan for all this?" If you think so, then this conspiracy goes deep.
I think you should prepare your own article on this matter. Your analysis should go bigger than a comment to my article.
Australia had a constitutional crisis in the mid-1970s. No one really knew who was in charge. But the leaders of the main parties were of a more sane mindset.
