IMHO, this is how I've seen this developing for the past 4 years. No, one would deploy away from well calculated response sites. For example, 50 years of socialist and communist planning will have numerous 'black' units already in place in diverse interests, working as a modified 5th Column. (controlled more as an intelligence operation than a military campaign)

Consider the tactics employed in Iraq by coalition forces and how Hussein controlled forces by allowing them promises of looting whatever they seized in Kuwait.

Now take the New World Order socialist, encourage disparate groups throughout the Western Hemisphere, while a major Chinese power decides to make rapid gains in world dominance.

They really don't care who controls things outside their sphere of control, as long as they advance their agenda.

Best counterattack is to remain mobile, prepared to counterattack where they are unable to quickly respond, and live off the land. It'll take 5 years for the American common man to get back to where we were prior to WWII, if this ever occurs, but meanwhile we're either setup for defeat ala Spanish Armada or positioned to dissuade any third party from foolhardy power plays.


IMHO, its equally important for the US not to allow ungodly things to continue as a nation,..i.e. Gay White Weekends, Partial Birth Abortions, elimination of all Christianity from public view, while encouraging Islamic diversity, etc. It's as if we're ripe for destruction.

Everybody and their brother can now order live-time satelite photos of our movements.

Heck,..most of the government contractors are minority disadvantaged foreigners and we've already given foreigners priority of our natural resources over US interests,..go figure.

Funny thing, is that the US is already practically a socialist country. What's frustrating is that socialists will never be satiated, even after they turn the US into a failed USSR, and still don't understand the harm they are causing.

Actually, I do.

I remember when I was serving as a young Marine in Subic Bay - that we go skinned alive for talking about ship deployments. I always found it fascinating that the girls in the bars knew the schedule of carriers before we Marines did.

T US Dapartment of the Navy CNO publishes this in a daily brief. If the Islaminazi's want this info - they'll go to the Navy.mil site. Besides.... there are 5000 people deployed with a carrier and air wing. I hardly think it would be a secret for more than.... two weeks prior.
