"This unwillingness to answer ... simple questions ... leads me to
suspect the worst."  (?)  Therein lies part of your problem.  The
people you are dealing with do not live by rational constructs,
they live by dogma and faith.  You are asking them to impose
rationality - in this case, foresight or planning - upon their
thoroughly non-rational Weltanshaung.  You are interpreting their
reactions by putting yourself in their place, and you do not think,
or rather react, the way they do, so your suspicions of dire
plots are unfounded.

Your vision of a future under the gentle ministries of the
MM types may be close to accurate.  However, it will not occur by
design but by mindless, slavish adherence to "principles", coupled
with knee-jerk reaction.
