Whatever runs Washington, it's a black hole. You can't see the black hole, but by the motions of stars around it, you can tell it's there. By the motion of politicians and the media, you can tell something is controlling them. It might have been best stated by Chuck Schumer: "if you go against the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday to get back at you." So, who really runs the federal government, publicly accountable politicians, or a black hole so strong it makes them dance, without revealing itself to the public.
You can say they weren't warned. What warning does a child raised in secular society get? None. They're literally programmed to think of chastity and virginity as stupid, that they should empower themselves with sexuality, to enjoy lots of partners, and even encouraged into 'sex work.'
