#1 The federal bureaucracy had effectively lined up against nearly half the country.

#3 Meanwhile, the White House press secretary dissembles daily; the intelligence community appears incapable of delivering a complete and truthful answer to Congress

They too, are silently "showering him with hosannas". The wars must eventually end [if only for a while]. It's all about budgets and market share. Notice how seldom intelligence community officials testifying before congress mentioned EO-12333 ? The American people have become market share.

#4 Governor Tarkin: The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away forever.

General Tagge: But that's impossible! How will the Emperor maintain control ~~without the bureaucracy~~?

Governor Tarkin: The ~~regional governors~~ Czars and the bureaucracy will now have direct control over their ~~territories~~ domains.

Latin dominium, property, from dominus, lord
