According to reliable sources, the primary reason I have been for backing off of war is because this is by no means going to be some TV CNN special where you watch things be blown up on TV as if it were a surreal movie or video game. First, Russia has intercontinental nuclear capability but it also has battle-field tactical nuclear weapons that would be used if their troops were truly going to lose. Secondly, China will support Russia and has already come out and taken their position against the arrogant posturing of the United States. Thirdly, there are sleeper cells within the United States that will take out power-grids and poison water supply. Cut the power and the USA will fall into chaos in a matter of days. In part, this is why Homeland Security has bought more than 1700 tanks for domestic use and it is also the thinking behind 1033 and the militarization of the police domestically. Either way, be it sovereign default on pensions and social programs that are inevitable or a domestic attack that takes out power-grids and poisons the water supply, troops are here to react. Homeland Security has been staging military drills taking various cities without notice to local politicians.
The stupid warlike Republicans who want to attack ISIS had better think twice before going down this road. If America puts boots on the ground, we will be drawn deeper and deeper into a war that nobody is going to win.
On the evening of Monday, August 18, 2014 the US Army commenced military exercises in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. MH-60 variant Black Hawk helicopters buzzed through the downtown and residential areas of the two Midwestern cities as reported by CBS local news. This shocking event was actually a repeat of August 2012 exercises we previously reported. The U.S. Special Operations Command conducted exercises until the beginning of September along with police from Minneapolis and St. Paul using helicopters, including Black Hawks.
The ominous exercises, which took place over three days between the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security in close collaboration with the local police who have been militarized, is part of a campaign to prepare for civil unrest but this can unfold from economic situations or caused by internal attacks at the hands of sleeper cells intent upon unleashing chaos within the USA. Moving to electronic currency will help eliminate bank runs during such a crisis in addition to ensuring the government gets every penny of tax. Yet moving to electronic currency will also raise the potential to shut down the US economy entirely by taking out power-grids.
The next war is not going to be just a media event we watch on CNN and say WOW! Get’em. This time it will not be a video game. If we do not temper the arrogance of Washington, these nut-jobs will bring the war home this time and it will not be a video game version.
The problem with the vast majority americans is we don’t have a clue what war is, the last time we really knew war, was the war between the states.
Last night watched the retro flick Barb Wire with Pamela Anderson.The movie made id 95.The movie takes place in year 2017.Fictional city is the last “free city”I could not believe how profound bits and pieces were.-I.
I’ve always found Pam Anderson to be profound.

Sleeper cells? haha There are a LOT more reasons why copfuks have tanks.
He really should stick to economics.
These days, under the taboos of PC we routinely fire, trash, scapegoat, and bankrupt people and corporations that do not, for example, agree to drop the name “Redskin” for a football team. When it comes to the black arts of mob scapegoating McCarthy had nothing on the commissars of PC today.
Purges and scapegoating are bad. But they are not as fatal to the life of a nation as the failure to recognize and mobilize against a clear and present danger to our national existence.
The next few elections will decide whether we are to survive as “a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” Constitutional government in the world is only two centuries old, and the US Constitution is the longest-lasting and most benevolent one in existence. Lincoln truly did not know “whether any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure.” In 1860 the Constitution was only seven decades old. But today, under the combined assault of enemies domestic and foreign, we still cannot guarantee whether constitutional government will survive. It has many, many enemies.
Ronald Reagan said that each generation must decide again to choose freedom or tyranny. We are ultimately responsible for failing to teach our political history to our children, who are abysmally ignorant and misled. The future of liberty, electoral legitimacy, political balance of powers and rationality is by no means assured. Unlike the Founding generation, the generation of Lincoln, and the Greatest Generation of World War 2 our people today are steeped in folly and self-indulgence.

That ship sailed several elections ago.
Yeah, what is that person smoking?
The government has gone rogue.
ECONMAN , some people should keep their mouths shut and it’s not me.
Anyone who thinks elections matter is a fool. The same bunch of nameless, faceless oligarchs control everything. At least since 2000 when the election was stolen by neocons. And I still say Cheney is running the show from “Site R”. He’s not an oligarch but is one of their minions.
Watch “Jericho”, the 2009 CBS TV series. Best cult apocalypse show I’ve ever watched. 29 episodes.
