When I said "MONOLITHIC" I wasn't referring to all departments or agencies inside government, or even less to individuals working therein, but rather to "the effect."
If the US government starts a war, it doesn't matter if 49.99% opposed it. It's still going on and people get killed. For those people, and their "circles," the US government is MONOLITHIC. If a person residing in the US, Verizon's customer, gets "detained" by the FBI, and "subsequently harrassed and disappears," for all affected the Government is MONOLITHIC. A single shot, and bang: you're dead (or, worse yet, "being killed however softly they choose") It's like "binary code:" either ONE or ZERO. No grey zone.
