Gary,
This is the critical realization- There are only two ways to defeat this kind of foe
One is to wait until it burns itself out. This is not wise because an ascendant movement will inflict too much pain before its internal faults break it apart.
The other is to fight it with intelligence and to put exacting pressure on those weak points. You are exactly right that we need more and better information. They do their best to show us their vulnerabilities every day- we have to pay better attention. Instead of rejecting their monstrous behavior as would most people would do with a maggot. We need to study it with the intensity and devotion of an entomologist who fondles, treasures and prods the maggot until he understands how to stop its growth and discourage its proliferation.
