I agree. Ed will do a lot of posturing, but he doesn't really want to die and, unless he makes some serious miscalculation, he will be captured unharmed.
Others might not be so lucky, however, because they don't realize that Ed is a narcissistic fraud, it's possible that some "supporters" will get hurt.
I agree as well. Controlling personalities, such as Ed Brown, often are cowards at heart. They thrive on getting others to do the actual work, or in this case, the actual deeds of resistance.
For all his talk, I think he's a bluff. When he can't explain himself [notice, how he depends on Elaine to espouse their legal theories], he resorts to blaming it all on the Illuminati and Freemasons.
While the theory espoused by Demosthenes sounds plausible, I wonder how effective it would be if there were few actual supporters present when the event occurs. How many remain at the house?
I was glad to see Dave Ridley speak in opposition to Ed's threats. That's a step towards sanity.
