Dr Dann, Hi!
A really good and cogent post!
I also had to smile at your "Freudian Slip typo", as I presume you meant "good" instead of "god" in your sentence referring to George Soros: "He clearly has a god grasp of the reality and potential of MGO.....". But then, there's many of us on this site that view George Soros as "All Knowing, All Powerful, who brings us manna from heaven", so perhaps it wasn't a typo!
