Pentagon resources and U.S. troops may be used if needed to quell protests and bank runs during an economic crisis, the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Institute reported.
"Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security," the War College study states.
Incidents of economic collapse, terrorism and disruption of legal order could require deployment of forces within the U.S., it said.
A "strategic shock" could require the nation to use "military force against hostile groups inside the United States."

The colonists said the same thing...
I really like there “3-D” camo. It’s a very inexpensive ghille suit, essentially. I also bought some nice winter camo to wear while using my cross country skis. We’re getting a lot of snow. Knowing how to move, hide and survive in the forest and mountains in deep winter is not something you can instantly acquire as a skill. Takes time, practice and commitment.

Japan stumps up more cash, Belgian govt falls
“LONDON (Reuters) – Japan approved extra funding and Germany pledged new measures on Saturday to confront a financial crisis that has toppled banks, wrecked world growth and now played a part in the demise of Belgium’s government.”
“In neighboring Belgium, King Albert consulted political leaders after the government collapsed following its botched attempt to bail out financial group Fortis.
Prime Minister Yves Leterme tendered his government’s resignation on Friday after a report by the Supreme Court found signs of political meddling to sway a court ruling on the future of the bank, a victim of the credit crunch.
The king, who under the constitution must decide whether to accept the resignation, held successive talks with the heads of the five ruling-coalition parties until 2 a.m. on Saturday.”

Simply amazing stuff.
There is no mechanism where by holders of government securities can "call" the debt.
In fact the USA has the power to do unilateral things to the holders of the debt, as even small countries like Argentina and Bolivia have recently demonstrated. There is no recourse to bond holders to sovereign default. This is true even more so for the USA, obviously.
The USA can also repay the loans with drasticaly devalued currency via the constant increase in the money supply. (ie: monetizing the debt). This seems to be the road we are on. Even a 10% inflation for a decade drastically reduces the pain or repayment of debt for the govt.
Ain’t no such thing as “civil” unrest. This place is getting more uncivilized by the minute.
CW2 is just one element of it.
Yep. It has moved from could to will and now the question is when.I would speculate no later than 2010.
Old Machievelli was one smart dude.

You are about to find out how it can. Just be patient.
Depends how deep the dislocation is. I lived in the Williamsburge section of Brooklyn in the early 1980s. Their was a lot of machinery left in vacant buildings there. Things that were too big to move. And of course people started taking the buildings apart to. You could just sort of watch as they were slowly ripped apart. (And this was before copper was worth much!).
I grew up in Detroit. It is full of abandoned factories, some with really amazing machines in them. I think as scrip iron prices soared a lot of this was finally salvaged as scrap steel. But as a kid there in the 1970s we used to go exploring and find all sorts of amazing things that we could not quite figure out what they were.
Abandoned boats sit in front of abandoned electric generation plant outside Detroit.
Ford Model T plant. Built in 1909, shuttered in 1970.
The Studebaker plant, abandoned in the 1950s? It burnt to the ground in 2005.
Fisher Body plant, as it stood abandoned circa 2000.
Packardplant, abandoned for about 40 years. Demolition finally took place in 2002.
It's hard to get the scale of this, but this helps:
Ford River Rouge plant. I toured this as a kid, in about 1973. They were making Mustangs and Pintos there. They may still guard this. It was an amazing place, they made steel there, as well as cars.

BTW: I agree a ConCon would be .. a con ! I don’t think libs worry about the Constitution enough to think they need to modify it. They just apoint judges who can find “pnumbras and emminations” in the immortal words of William O. Douglas, one of FDR’s apointees and part of the Roe. V Wade majority.
