Let me come at this issue from a slightly different perspective, one that goes back to November 1963. When they killed Kennedy, it was a coup d'etat. It accomplished two important things for those that were behind it. One, it put them in power and they are still in power, and two, it sent a message, a very powerful message to any decent person who had intentions of running for office, which was, don't. 

It has literally been all down hill for the US since then, and so we have arrived at the end game, the probable collapse and destruction of the US as we know it. Which actually, might not be such a bad thing.
