Sounds like reality to me. I read a CIA forecast about the year 2015 few years ago before all this started. It was worse then this outlook.

It’s my understanding that historically, crime has gone down during recessions.

We’ve seen many times before what happens hardship happens in USA.

A flood hits heart-land USA, people come and help each other.

A tornado blows away a small town, and they rebuild it by themselves in a year.

The pioneer spirit is still strong with many in this great country.

Unfortunately, we’ve also seen what happens in places like New Orleans where people will starve to death wondering when government help will arrive.

Without electricity, gas, or water, even for a short time, life can be extremely difficult, and especially in a high-rise building or multi-storey apartment.

And then it spreads, out like a cancer to the suburbs, and the war is on.

Several prognosticators I’ve read recently (can’t remember names) think there will be a need for folks to re-form into smaller towns and groups for protection purposes. Know your neighbor, trust your neighbor, neighbor relies on neighbor to keep secure from outside influences. Sounds like a step back into clan/tribalism almost.

This is all swell, but it ignores Obama’s greatest strength - and I am dead serious here: An ignorant voting public.

This is why Obama won, in the long run. The rest depended on this key factor:

Half of what you described is already the case.

Let’s see...the urban gutters already have:
- government interference/taxes/fees/restrictions reaching into every facet of life
- constant vandalism
- deadbeat dependents living on government checks
- extremely high violent crime rates
- high-rise apartment ghettos serving as headquarters for drug dealing thugs

This is the positive scenario for how things might go.

Another scenario, equally as plausible, is the Mad Max scenario.

Food & firearms are essentials in the years to come.

Google Gerard Celente. Patrick Madrid had last week on his website a couple videos of his interviews. Very chilling.

Not to worry, a ‘false flag’ incident will trigger the next big war and get American industry back in gear.

I actually anticipate regional associations of states with similar interests, needs and goals.The Feds will try confiscatory taxationto service their debt load...state legislatures will start to recommend residents no longer remit to DC as DC can no longer send funds back to the states
