It wouldn't matter whether Obama or Bush was in office; the only thing that was necessary was for the economic conditions to degrade precipitously, and for average Americans, who played by the rules, paid their taxes, paid their mortgages and credit card bills, to see that they were going to be punished and forced to bail out the most irresponsible, and in many cases, overcompensated people in our society. Now that these responsible Americans see that they are at imminent risk of losing their stores, businesses, jobs and homes, due to a massively worsening economy, see that trillions of their tax dollars are being misappropriated and shipped to banks and financial institutions that helped ignite the fuse that led to the economic crisis, and now that they see that it does not pay to play by the rules nor go quietly into indentured servitude, there is going to be a mass movement at the grass roots level to basically ignore the structure and rules. This is why the government is so eager to quickly pass the 'stimulus bill;' to try and stave off this reaction by hiring more people to the payrolls of government agencies, find the funding to avoid having to lay off presently employed government employees, and try and blunt the economic shock we're all about to experience (we have only felt the initial tremors so far). 2009 is the year people literally come to believe that it no longer pays to play by the rules, and become so incensed at the system and the unfair nature of what they see transpiring, that they actually take action. The triggering event will be the steep decline in government revenues as the economy worsens, and the government both prints fiat currency and shift methods of collecting revenue (e.g. increases consumption taxes such as gasoline, sin and other consumption and use taxes) due to falling tax revenues based on income. I truly believe it's possible (though I don't know with certainty) that this really is the reason 40,000 U.S. military personnel really were transferred to U.S. posts, and have now been trained for operations involving American Civilians. This really has taken place, although the government first tried plausible denial, and then shifted towards an explanation that borders on a 'homeland defense'/'1st responder' type scenario. Europe is trending the same very way, also.

The report from the War Collegeâs Strategic Studies Institute warns that the U.S. military must prepare for a âviolent, strategic dislocation inside the United Statesâ that could be provoked by âunforeseen economic collapseâ or âloss of functioning political and legal order.â Entitled âKnown Unknowns: Unconventional âStrategic Shocksâ in Defense Strategy Development,â the report was produced by Nathan Freier, a recently retired Army lieutenant colonel who is a professor at the college â the Armyâs main training institute for prospective senior officers. He writes: âTo the extent events like this involve organized violence against local, state, and national authorities and exceed the capacity of the former two to restore public order and protect vulnerable populations, DoD [Department of Defense] would be required to fill the gap.â Freier continues: âWidespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order ⦠An American government and defense establishment lulled into complacency by a long-secure domestic order would be forced to rapidly divest some or most external security commitments in order to address rapidly expanding human insecurity at home.â International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn warned last week of riots and unrest in global markets if the ongoing financial crisis is not addressed and lower-income households are beset with credit constraints and rising unemployment, the Phoenix Business Journal reported. http://www.70news.com/2008/12/17/shocking-arizona-police-trained-for-economic-civil-unrest/ http://www.topix.com/movies/the-pat...-in-us-for-civil-unrest-duty-unconstitutional
You just registered on ET and have 11 posts to tell me I'm a 'joker' for merely citing officially reported facts as put out by the government itself?
Actually ....why have an angry and "animal-like" reaction....that would be largely ineffective ? One can be silently in one's house at peace.... What if "everyone" cooperated and just stopped.... "Silence" and "inactivity" can be "deafeningly loud".... The military begs for "animalism" to appear.... Do not give "the government" this option.... ................................................................................... One can be heard without saying a word....or moving at all.... .................................................................................... 10% consumption tax only....or else silence and lack of movement will persist.... .................................................................................... One must refuse to be employed by the state....
He is cold, c-kid, apa, dreamerlikeyou etc etc, the resident sociopath/liar/poser/troll of the forum. Not worth of your attention.
I'm not a big one for conspiracy theories, but stop and think. If there were a risk of civil unrest, would the gubment actually admit to it if they knew? Of course not.
