Here's the link.

there is a PDF brochure at the top of the page that goes more into depth on what will be discussed.

On page one it talks about mass fatality management, the breakdown of public services, and unwillingness to follow government orders........ protecting police from being hurt in civil disturbances....

THAT'S JUST THE FIRST PAGE.

Next week, these people are really going to get together and lay out the game plan. Looks like a duck....... walks like a duck.....
I think there's a pretty decent chance this is really going to happen this fall or soon after.
