Do you think this situation could actually happen in the USA?
What are the chances?
Ron Paul opening's statement before Ben Bernanke testimony before House Financial Services Committee on 2009.02.25 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW2V50AS7K0
Sorry not taking anyone seriously that doesn’t at least show his face.
What is with the title of the thread? The clip has nothing to do with the Military.
I don’t know how this would go down. there are so many levels of command. local police, state police, regular military, national guard.....It would take some kind of coordinated fast plan. Of course, the real power of control would be with all branches of the military coming down at once to sieze power. They could then march Pelosi and the other radicals off to prison.
Hannibal Lecter?
I have predicted that only the intervention of the military will save this republic.
Several Sites are on this Military Resistance, I guess the person behind the Youtube is a Marine supposedly who is coordinating this...
Did you watch the Ron Paul one? Yikes CNBC was sure upset that this went live
I think they will only do so if a citizen-militia rises up first. When Clinton was president, I read a poll where 25% of the military would fire on American citizens if so ordered by their superiors.
was this poll cooked, was it accurate? I don’t know, but I am not willing to take the chance that it is wrong.
How many of those polled back then are now senior NCO and senior Officers in the military? Are you willing to bet that their views have changed in the slighted?
Just as the Founding Fathers did, so do I, keep a wary eye on the military. It pains this veteran to say these words, but the military is a wild card in this equation, neither friend nor foe, yet.
Yes I did, when he speaks in this manner he sounds good. When his passions get the better of him, he sounds like an idiot however.
I personally think that the US should re-adopt the gold standard with the dollar backed by gold at the international governmental price.
I believe that $35 per ounce is still the international governmental price, isn’t?
This veteran thinks that as long as the military consists of our sons and daughters ... they will not fire on us. that is why there are talks about foreigners being allowed into our military. they would fire on us without hesitation. That is one of the MANY reasons that if something is to be done to save this republic it had better be pretty soon
I don’t think that the country is going to get through this without taking a severe mauling one way or the other.
The only question is when, not if.
DOpey looks like a dope. He’s speaking live at Camp Lejeune. The audience applauded to be polite. Nothing more. Most of them don’t like him, didn’t vote for him, and don’t think he’s their CiC. Obama should stay away from our military and leave them alone.
I believe so..But I highly doubt that the USA will do it..
We are just printing money based on nothing, and increasing inflation..I can see a loaf of Bread 20.00 and a Carton of Milk 25.00 in the near future...
God bless those poor guys having to listen to him.
Photo op? Did he take Air Force One all the way from D.C. to Camp Lejeune?
We will be lucky if they are that cheap I think . . .
I always thought hyperinflation could only occur elsewhere, figured our financial whiz kids were smarter than this.
BTW it looks like I will be fleeing the peoples republic of California for Texas sometime this year. My best friend lives north of Dallas and says it’s a nice place populated by lots of “Bubbas” (my kinda people)
If you’re a true conservative, c’mon down and bring your weapons. I live in the same locale... just call me Bubba.
“I think they will only do so if a citizen-militia rises up first. When Clinton was president, I read a poll where 25% of the military would fire on American citizens if so ordered by their superiors.”
Clinton was a rascal and a lib but Clinton was acting within the boundaries of the Constitution and not testing or passing the edges of it. He knew to salute the honor guard of Marine One and not shake their hand.
He also had some sense of what it took to keep the economy alive.
This maggot, obambi, has none of the above. His agenda is ruthless, vindictive and racially motivated. His legal authority is also suspect and until proven otherwise...well, you figure it out.
I doubt you would find 25% willing to fire on civilians and even so if, the other 75% would stop them.
I am waiting for an American Pinochet.
Would they? These are men they have fought with, the tightest bond there is.
I do not mean to disparage our warriors, but if the people are to succeed, we will have to do this ourselves and hope the military stays neutral or actively supports us later on.
