I'm pretty sure they can keep the charade going indefinitely. We already know that the media is willing to show video clips of burning buildings and call it a peaceful protest.

The rest of the world needs to invent a new method of producing cheap energy. Until that day comes, the US will maintain its dominance and require everyone else to use the dollar to buy oil. The Cathedral can do what it wants because it controls the most powerful military in history, the media, the current global reserve currency, and the world's energy supply. Good luck stopping this beast.
