CALC has always functioned as controlled opposition, what is known as "limited hangouts" or as Lincoln described President Polk attempting "to prove by telling the truth what he could not prove telling the whole truth." These deceptions serve to protect the harsh and alarming realities of the Deep State from serious citizen confrontations, which is why, following Vietnam, the peace movement has prevented nothing.  It was the state that learned to avoid messy public opposition by operating indirectly through covert and proxy forces that have been used relentlessly ever since to wreak havoc around the world. The Huffington Post aptly described the Burns production as "empire denial." I expect the same from anything CALC presents.
