Pentagon Prepping for ‘Large Scale Economic Breakdown’

Pentagon Prepping for ‘Large Scale Economic Breakdown’ Anthony Gucciardi by Anthony Gucciardi August 26th, 2013 Updated 08/26/2013 at 1:10 am

High level government documents reveal that the Pentagon is preparing in full force for ‘large scale economic meltdown’ and massive revolt via the US public — exactly what we are criticized for doing.

pentagon-economic-collapse-riotsYou see the Pentagon and agencies like the Department of Defense (DoD) are in full scale emergency readiness in their own words for ‘cataclysmic’ events that are believed to ultimately ignite riots in the face of chaos and economic collapse, and it’s all out in the open. And it’s one of the reasons that we’re seeing such a massive amount of spying on activists of all kinds, alternative news writers and personalities, and basically anyone preparing for themselves.

The US government is dedicated to logging such information into a major database in order to ‘prepare’ for the coming collapse that they are predicting in their own documents for all to see. Collapse predictions that have turned into ‘war games’ by the Pentagon, which in 2010 were orchestrated to prepare for what the Pentagon dubbed ‘large scale economic breakdown’ and the disappearance of essential services like food.

In this same ‘war games’ exercise dedicated to domestic response, exercises were ran in order to prepare for ‘domestic order amid civil unrest’. Military to Stop ‘Domestic Resistance’

A thread that is seen throughout these tests is the concept that civil unrest will unfold and prompt military action against the public. One of the largest examples of this is the US Army’s Strategic Studies Institute paper that talks about about the ‘threat of domestic crises’ that are expected to lead to massive unrest throughout the nation. Spurring more paranoia into the notion that every citizen is a terrorist, the report starts talking about everything from economic collapse to a loss of functional political order brought upon by a ‘hostile group within the United States’ that could access weapons.

In such scenarios, the report discusses how the DoD would then be ‘forced by circumstances’ to come in and stop ‘purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency”:

“DoD might be forced by circumstances to put its broad resources at the disposal of civil authorities to contain and reverse violent threats to domestic tranquility. Under the most extreme circumstances, this might include use of military force against hostile groups inside the United States. Further, DoD would be, by necessity, an essential enabling hub for the continuity of political authority in a multi-state or nationwide civil conflict or disturbance.”

To go along with this, and the idea of the military coming in to stop domestic resistance in the midst of an economic collapse, the Pentagon has gone and created a force consisting of 20,000 troops whose sole purpose is to be available for civil unrest and catastrophes – all based on the 2005 Homeland Security program to prepare for ‘multiple, simultaneous mass casualty incidents‘. Yet again we see this link.

But don’t worry, changes have been made just one month ago to allow for the Pentagon to directly have absolute authority over domestic emergencies and ‘civil disturbance’ at large. As reported in a Long Island news publication and properly summarized by The Guardian as further preparation for some form of domestic meltdown:

“Federal military commanders have the authority, in extraordinary emergency circumstances where prior authorization by the President is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation, to engage temporarily in activities that are necessary to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances.”

What does this mean exactly, to engage in the activity necessary to quell large-scale civil disturbances? Well, for one it is the blank check ability to go ahead and stop major protests amid domestic turmoil. The kind of protests we’re seeing around the world, from Egypt to Brazil. The kind of protests where citizens have had enough.

And going by the Pentagon documents mixed with the DoD papers, it appears the military believes America may take to the streets amid an economic collapse or ‘domestic disturbance’ of large caliber. And you can be sure that virtually all citizens that question the government are the targets of military intervention, as we see in the DoD’s own Army Modernisation Strategy, detailing ‘anti-government and radical ideologies that potentially threaten government stability‘ as a major threat.

Yes, you read that right. The DoD is classifying ‘anti-government and radical ideologies’ as something that threatens government stability. When a major ‘domestic disturbance’ comes along that all of these documents are discussing, such as perhaps in the form of mass protests, it’s the ‘anti-government extremists’ they will be coming after.

With EBT being the major income in urban areas, most homes probably have less than a few days food at best, it that, and they will burn it fast, not giving a thought to rationing what they have.

By the time they figure out the stores are all empty, they are out. I agree. Whatever happens will happen fast.

That sounds about right..

My Courier had several flings she didn't intend, like with Red Lucy and Sarah Weintrub.

You see the Pentagon and agencies like the Department of Defense (DoD)...

Kind of difficult to take anything seriously after that.

If you have Google Earth, there is a satellite image of all the dead equipment near Chernobyl that was irradiated and had to be abandoned. I thought it was interesting to see it.

Coulda been worse. You coulda’ ended up with Jimmy Allnight See, thats why I play dudes. Just Shoot Jimmy and you’re good for the whole game ;)

Seriously though, I can see some office at the bottom of Langley cooking up a few Vault like scenarios. I don’t think a little thing like apocalypse would stop liberal social engineers from their Nazi duties. Never let the ultimate crisis go to waste.

“If we lost power for even a week, our cities would utterly explode.”

I read a biography of Thomas Edison. When discussing how to honor him after his death, the government discussed shutting down the electrical grid that he invented as an hour-long moment of silence. They quickly decided against it because of the danger and havoc that would result from it.

That was back then.

Just imagine the nationwide loss of electricity for more than a week in the near future. It won’t be pretty to see all the suicides by those who will miss their Facebook feeds and hollywood products. And it will be even worse to see all those who’ll die when the truly vital mechanisms grind to a halt.

This same article got axed by the mods earlier today as tin-foil BS.

They should ax it again. There is no documentation, just a rambling screed.

The diagrams I have aren’t as artistic... But mine show the areas that are the Achilles Heel of the MRAP.

People tend to be impressed with rolling stock such as these MRAPs, but if you catch them in a choke point via impassable trench to the front and a command detonated trench charge to the rear, the thing is like a turtle sitting in the bottom of a bucket. You know, a turtle in the bottom of a bucket is pretty much at the mercy of the person holding the bucket. He might be left in there until he gets help from someone else, or (if he has been a particularly nasty and mean turtle, like, say an alligator snapping turtle) someone might throw some fuel in the bucket and create a little turtle torch - I’ve heard they will burn for hours. Of course the turtle story is just that... Only a story. But the turtle doesn’t get to make the decision about what happens to him once he is in the bucket...

You’re spot on. We are absolutely vulnerable IF it goes away. That’s neither bad or good, because there really isn’t an alternative. If you want to sell to the world, you have to be out there in it, and what can be more out there in the world than the world-wide web?

You are a great writer, and you’re using that same vulnerable network to sell yourself and make your mark in the world.

When you think about it, the “interconnectiveness” of it all is mind-boggling.

You might want to start researching BBQ sauce for long pig.

Would you explain that to me - I didn't get it.

Then there's nothing more for us to say to each other.

Tell me when there are ramparts to mount, else it is all talk. I am 75 years old, you waited to long for me to be of any use.

I waited too long? Sure.

The country only started going downhill after you hit retirement age, so you're not responsible for any of this. Is that about right?

"I think a week without power in the USA could tip us right over the brink."

I think you'd just see increases in individual crime if the power was out for a week.

...now, 21 days without food re-supply to the cities could start epidemic riots and mob rule, followed by general anarchy if the food remained gone for anytime longer.

After that round of carnage, you'd then have a thinned-out herd. The smartest and strongest would emerge. Most major cities are coastal. Sailboats would go fishing and the fish would score bartering for anything from women/dates to weapons/ammo or (some urban) gardening.

Speaking of which, the ammo shortage is a bit long in the tooth. Weird.

The same person does not have any idea how critical electricity is to our survival today. If we lost power for even a week, our cities would utterly explode.

We were just discussing that at a dinner at my house here on the mountain. Luckily, some very conservative friends have decided to prep - and are jumping in feet first. We are sort-of used to doing without power short-term up here, because winter storms can cause power outages for days. Oil lamps, generators, flashlights, candles, etc all serve for short-term outages. Problemis - every single one of those depends on something that is expendable and that won't be available if there are long-term problems.

We'd have to go back to a way of life that was common 100 years ago. I don't think the younger generation will take very well to it!
