How true. Questions are: why? what ca we do?

I am afraid this shows that such individuals are also Members of the
the USG, Staff and BoD, otherwise we would not be in the present
situation.

True. But I am afraid some are not oblivious, but quite aware of what
they do. Hence at our level the only response we have which is to try
to delay their efforts at maximum, giving natural market and technical
forces time to take over.

I accept this is not exciting. If you known another strategy, please
explain.
