I think it could be done done with the help of the military. Remember there are 270 million Americans. There are not 10 Million service men/women. SO actually maybe it would be possible. I highly doubt with a few million people marched on gov't that they would be able to attack them out right. I suspect the military/gov't would actually start to attack us individually, the divide and concor style.

Our lives are isolating us more then ever before and leave us open to situations where we can be attack individually when we attempt to organize.

Who really cares if the person writting the website above disappears? Who would do something about it? However if there was a phsycial group of people being attacked it would be more visable.

It is in the same lines of wiretaps. Society feels wronged if they actually come into your house to bug your phones, however voted to allow it to happen remotely. Very strange.
