8. I have to say the nature of the DU hack immediately spelled stolen election.

'God Emperors' don't like democracy. The gun in the face, all the subtext -- yes, it's an insane worldview and a childish video, but it was coupled with an incredibly effective and well-thought-out attack against an underrated but incredibly effective election information processor -- Democratic Underground.

It was my first thought. I believe they thought they could demoralize us entirely. I also think there has been a well-funded, well-coordinated attempt to damage the dialogue that has blossomed over the last year.

I believe this really did happen. And I believe it's related to the hack of the DNC, the attempted hacks on a large number of state election servers and other various federal agencies, and the mysterious Trump/Russian bank server connection.

Part of the problem with Russians and/or American homegrown racists/supremacists -- they like to wave their dicks around. They can't help it. Part of their worldview. It's a signature.

Gotta say, if this all breaks, Greens get a big seat at the table. It would be fair.
