I agree with Cedars. I firmly believe that efforts really got started back in 1980 with the dismissal of Franz. Then it quieted down for a while.....but efforts are ramping back up now. They have to. We horrible apostates are all over the internet. Plus we live in different times. We live in an era when critical thinking is very much encouraged. (outside of the borg of course). We live in an era where women have rights.....and where both men and women are pushing for such things as equality of pay. All of us in this 21st century have been exposed to much more of a "question everything" type atmosphere than those that were around 100 years ago. All of us today expect fairness, equality and explanations more so than those of past generations.
I think as time goes by....more and more witnesses will want proof.....they'll want answers......they'll want to satisfy their questions. The society can combat this somewhat with fear/guilt/intimidation. They know they are going to lose the internet battle....but they maintain hope that they can continue to win (overall) the "do not talk to DF or DA" battle. As long as they keep the sheeple in fear of DF and DA ones......they'll keep their herd mainly in tact. But once the sheeple lose their fear of DF and DA ones......all hell breaks loose. So yeah.....declaring war on DF and DA ones is their only chance of keeping the glass house together.
