Thanks. I'm more of a doer than a talker.

I remember in the early mid '90s that there were numerous shortwave radio broadcasts with static-filled, scratchy voices chatterring axiously about all the alleged "U.N. Detention Camps" being built near major U.S. highways.

But... but have you done an online search lately?

It is quite startling, over a third of a million search results!!

"detention camps" (Obama's OR Obama) -Guantanamo -gitmo - Google Search

There are approximately 378,000 search results....

I wonder how much of the search retrieval stems from reliable sources???

I have read numerous reports all pretty much saying the same thing and reports that obama is preparing for civil war I don’t know about that one given the source is one of those Russian things but this article is appearing on several sites now I actually read this guy but was surprised to find it on Zero Hedge and it is something people should think about FOOD.

The countries that make up two thirds of the world’s agricultural output are experiencing drought conditions.

The following article is HIGHLY recommended for anyone trading in the commodities futures markets or interested in possible future outcomes in 2010.

“If you read any economic, financial, or political analysis for 2010 that doesn’t mention the food shortage looming next year, throw it in the trash, as it is worthless. There is overwhelming, undeniable evidence that the world will run out of food next year. When this happens, the resulting triple digit food inflation will lead panicking central banks around the world to dump their foreign reserves to appreciate their currencies and lower the cost of food imports, causing the collapse of the dollar, the treasury market, derivative markets, and the global financial system. The US will experience economic disintegration.

So far the crisis has been driven by the slow and steady increase in defaults on mortgages and other loans. This is about to change. What will drive the financial crisis in 2010 will be panic about food supplies and the dollar’s plunging value. Things will start moving fast.”

I consider reports of FEMA detention camps and the like similar to defense against an array of atomic weapons:

If 99% of the nukes are inert decoys, but 1% are live and get through your defenses, you still have a very large problem.

Blair made it clear that - while unrest was currently only happening in Europe - he was worried this could happen within the United States. [See also this]. Former national security director Zbigniew Brzezinski warned "there’s going to be growing conflict between the classes and if people are unemployed and really hurting, hell, there could be even riots."

They're not worried about rioting among the "unemployed". They are worried about the welfare types the day the welfare checks don't come (or bounce).

The article is nothing but speculation.

The US military plays out endless hypothical scenarios all the time. They've even got a scenario in case we're invaded by Martians. This one just happened to hit the internet.

Yup. I know. I’ve had MarketSkeptics bookmarked for a while and check it regularly.

I need to get to the store and pick up another 50lbs or so of dried goods.

I highly recommend that everyone else does the same.
