>When one or more American cities go up in flames, everything will do a 180.
I would hope so; but let’s ask the supremely distasteful question: What if it wouldn’t?
Imagine some sort of violent riot sparked because of Illegal Immigration (it doesn’t matter who: pro or con); the spark could even be deliberate. The news immediately sensationalize and dramatize it, exaggerating present elements and/or adding them [like race].
The National Guard of that state is called up, but when the communications and power go out the chaos seems to be ‘too much,’ and a request is made to the Federal Government for reinforcements. These reinforcements secure the city, cut off outside communication, and restore power and water. During the operations Food Stores, Medical Supplies will have been declared confiscate-able so that the Soldiers may conduct S&R AND so that civilians won’t starve/die.
The ‘investigation’ reveals that the power and water failures were “acts of terrorism” and the terrorists* merely took advantage of the timing and situation.
[* These could be actual terrorists or “right-wing extremists,” or a false-flag op implicating either.]
That city has the martial law that was declared extended so that the military and police can root out whoever sabotaged the utilities. Firearms and ammunition are added to the list of what may be confiscated and private gun owners are shaken-down/intimidated/implicated. (Remember that all communication, except for ‘official’ business, is down.)
At this point there are several ways things can go down.
I meant nuclear attacks, but of course it could be Watts or Rodney King all over again. Who’s side do you think Barry, Eric and Janet will take?
