there is a little bit more to it than that I think - I think there is an alien race that is taking us over from within, but they are mortal so they can die by bullet, hence they are not just breaking out in full on war yet. They are getting us to a weakened state and then after they get our guns away from us, they think they will just take us over - they have been here since our inception...the time is quickly coming where they think they are going to get earth away from us and fully enslave us, even worse than it is now.
