Fascinating. None of this will necessarily lead to violence. “We the people” could send 535 members and the president a letter/telegram/fax/email/text message asking them to resign and hold special elections for all of them. The armed forces could protect us from external enemies.
Well, Denninger could be completely out to lunch, too, and none of it will happen at all. I'm sure he hopes that's the case.
But if his prediction comes to pass, I don't think "special elections" would do anything meaningful in any event.
As much as I always hate to, I think this deserves a CW-II ping.
Perhaps, but in the unlikely event that some of it does...it certainly does not hurt to OFFER peaceful solutions.
Using government bailouts to stop this, is like hammering nails into rotting wood to keep a house from falling down.
I'm with you... but in order to have a peaceful solution, your proposed action must be both peaceful... and a solution.
Peaceful solution: They go quietly.
:) good point. Have the new candidates answer direct questions about philosophy, freedom, individual rights, capitalism.

I’m with you, friend. The minute I think Aunt Katrina is coming to town I intend to get the wife and kids to safety (our relatives live in a farm town where Diversity is, um, not considered a Strength) — but I’m staying at Chez Chan with my friend Mr. Mossberg. The old dome may be a bit shabby, but it’s kept the rain off me and mine faithfully for lo these many years, and it’s mine. I’ll be damned if I’ll let Lootie have it without a fight.
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. God forbid I should ever have to point a weapon at another human being, but in defense of my life and my property I will — without hesitation.
Day before yesterday, I got this:
for two reasons, both timing related. It is one of those few times I actually put my money where my mouth is. And when you are not into guns, forking over $400 for a shotgun in times like this is not something one does lightly, especially when they know that, if it ever comes to actually USING the danged thing, the best thing to hope for is that the other guy balks.
Jesus told the disciples to buy a sword.
This is my sword. I pray I never have to use it.
Dow now at 6,600.
If this does not come back today, friday and the weekend could get interesting.
I’ll pick up a hundred or so rounds for that remington on my way home for work. The first 25 may not be enough, especially since I need to practice shooting the danged thing...

"Civil unrest will break out before the end of the year. The Military and Guard will be called up to try to stop it. They won't be able to. Big cities are at risk of becoming a free-fire death zone. If you live in one, figure out how you can get out and live somewhere else if you detect signs that yours is starting to go "feral"; witness New Orleans after Katrina for how fast, and how bad, it can get."

Sounds like that guy...somebodyorother North who was predicting we were going back to buggies prior to y2k.
It’s never as bad as the worst predictions nor as good as the best. It’s always somewhere in the middle. This post can be classified as a “worst”
this captain took all of the money that he could out of his retirement fund and put it in long term, low risk investments...in 2005!
he also sold his house in 2005 and has been renting ever since. so he's a very smart guy.
