When they started shutting down military bases, downsizing the forces and enacting firearm registry in my country, Canada, I also got the feeling that "Something of historic proportions is happening"

All I can say is that with all these people with experiential knowledge warning us in various ways I’m getting kind of apprehensive.

A new Hitler?
A second Civil War?
What?!

Extremely suspicious that the Fed would ‘loan’ Two Trillion and then not tell where the money went. Several things about that that I haven’t gotten my head around yet.

They don’t want to cause a bank run on the insolvent banks. Simple as that.

Makes sense, and I hope that’s ‘all’ there is to it, although it’s enough.

Straight from Chairman Hussein's mouth:
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
There's your what.

Concisely stating my sentiments exactly. In every respect.

The ultimate enigma to me is: We read his words, we look into his history, such as is available, thinking that they will give us insight into his thinking. But we’re not permitted to take him at his word nor criticize his actions nor to object on any of those grounds.

So, either we no longer know how to read; or we know how to read, and we’ve been taken over by a liar and a mob of people who voted for being lied to. It all seems so very delusional.

I heard about this a couple of days ago-is there a news article about it? Two TRILLION$ is an eye-opener- where is it?
