this is not a prediction, this is a threat.
Maybe the US gov’t should follow the US Constitution?
So the military will be asked to protect the very corrupt individuals in government who created the mess .... how very handy.
I see, the new President has to be ready to declare martial law. Didn’t Hugo do the same thing shortly after he assumed power? Makes sense. I can look out my window and see the surging right wing mobs. . . .
Ping.
So the rumors of a super secret "we're all gonna die" Congressional meeting in Sept is correct. This explains much....
Welcome to the USA, the newest Third World Nation.
BS Alert!!!!
Another version of this was posted last night.
The paper is an academic and speculative discussion about the need to plan for “known unknowns” like 9/11 or Mumbai.
It’s not about corraling the masses and civil breakdown.

Yes I’m sure it isn’t going to go over well when the government finally has to tell those on Welfare that the checks will bounce! We are broke, why we still insist on supporting people who are perfectly capable of supporting themselves, I’ll never know?
There is a great amount of reality denial going on across the US.
Right now, Phoenix still is glassy eyed about the prospects of building a $900M Tower of Babel/condominiums/business center in the middle of the city, even though the businesses involved are jumping ship. The city fathers haven’t figured out that the salad days are over, and the new reality is drastically reduced tax revenues and fiscal conservatism.
The smarter people know that economic bad times are coming, but after a few seconds to realize that all that really matters is housing and food, both of which are, and will remain in abundance, they assume that there will be riots in the streets because the public can no longer buy wall sized HDTVs for every room of their deeply mortgaged houses.
Not gonna happen. There are likely to be a whole bunch of unemployed, blue and white collar workers who for the first time in their lives are going to be living slim, but if the government is smart, and keeps them in housing and with food in their bellies, they are not going to be rioting much, either.
Obama will probably try to reinvent the WPA, but it is unnecessary, because international trade will be halted, and America will need workers to rebuild all those industries we outsourced.
The most important thing is to keep a sense of realism and responsibility. It won’t be terribly hard to return to the idea of only spending what you earn, and no more, at all levels.
A new report by the U.S. Army War College talks about the possibility of Pentagon resources and troops being used should the economic crisis lead to civil unrest, such as protests against businesses and government or runs on beleaguered banks... The study says economic collapse, terrorism and loss of legal order are among possible domestic shocks that might require military action within the U.S.There is going to be *no* economic collapse. I've read that wireless stocks are going to take a hit in 2009 -- a good investment if Reparations pass. [with no apologies to Dave Chappell]

Is this what the 20,000 troops were all about?
Did President Bush see this economic crash coming down the pike?
Do they know something we don’t?
This very well could happen due to the ineptitude and corruption on the part of many of the money and government types. Sound crazy but if/when the economy goes into the toilet and the citizens are outraged there is a potential for this to occur.
If Pres. Bush were to be in office next year, this would be yet another ‘grounds of impeachment’ according to the leftists and liberals in this country.
But because it will be under Komrade Hussein Obammie the Commie's watch, this will be ‘for the public good’ and supported.
Look for the Patriot Act to be turned into what the Left has falsely accused it of being these past few years. They'll herald the truly Big Brother additions to it as brilliance on the part of Hussein.
Sounds like a disaster plan preparedness exercise.
Perhaps they know it’s coming. If it is, let it be in my time... so that my grandchildren may live free.
Exactly what I said. This is a threat to keep us in line!! If this kinda thing doesn’t wake you up to what the Dems are about NOTHING WILL!!!
