re: ["This will only happen after the people riot and demand it.. Until then, they will keep doing what is working..."]
Futurist and Trend Forecaster Gerald Celente said it best:
"When people finally lose everything. And when they have nothing more to lose. They will lose it."
It's when, not if...
People have seen their 401K's and Mutual Fund holdings whacked by 50%. The housing crisis has collapsed home values by 20-40%. Credit has been shut off. Jobs are disappearing and pensions being vaporized. State and local governments are going bankrupt in America, as is half of Europe. And the entire financial system has turned out to be one giant ponzi scheme, and the banksters have run off with all the cash, and now taxpayers are being forced to bailout gangsters with the last of their remaining assets, and by mortgaging their children's futures... while having their rights and liberties stripped away under the guise of protecting them.
I read a very interesting research report in which they predicted a social breakdown and mass protests starting by mid-2010 in America.
A key part of their thesis was the passing of 3 six month unemployment compensation cycles. With tens of millions of Americans falling off unemployment, and having no safety net, or means of economic sustainability.
We already know that America had a negative savings rate, and was living on credit for nearly a decade. And that's even more true for the lowest 25% of the US population, which literally has NO MONEY, NO SAVINGS, and NO CASH in the bank.
They are literally living paycheck to paycheck. And when that paycheck, government welfare, or unemployment check disappears, chaos will soon erupt.
But... a key part of Obama's stimulus package was the extension of unemployment and social welfare benefits.
That literally bought them time.
While that's good news, and literally a lifeline for the lower socio-economic class, it's bad news for the rest of America, because it buys them time to continue to collapse a matrix of command & control around the rest of us.
Unemployment will continue to rise among the middle and upper middle white, and blue collar classes. But, they will have a safety net of savings, and 401K's in which to draw down.
Also, small business owners will continue to see a collapse in sales and earnings, and they, like the middle/upper middle class will have assets, savings, and 401K's to draw down.
And over time... between the market decimating 401K's, and the collapse in Real Estate values and equity, along with the forced draw down of savings and the liquidation of assets starting to drain their life savings... they will begin to wake up, and rise up.
But, it may be too late, because the government is rapidly encircling the citizenry with an Orwellian police state, after already having stripped them bare both economically, and politically.
The End Game, and the final nightmare, will be when all those who will support the coming gun grab, and who poo-poo'd as "conspiracy theory" the loss of freedoms from the Patriot Act, and the implementation of Martial Law under Bush's Executive Order takeover of the government (in which Obama is EQUALLY complicit in accepting)... finally wake up and find out what that "domestic security force", the gun grabs, and the FEMA camps were really for.
That's how you boil a frog.
That's how Hitler did it in Germany.
And that's what's happening here in America.
...right in broad daylight, and right under your nose.
When will America wake up?
-- At DOW 6,000? At Dow 5,000? At Dow 3500? -- At a 10% unemployment rate? At 15%? At 20%? -- After a 20% collapse in Home Values? After 40%? After 50%? -- After another lie, and an invasion of Iran? -- After mandatory facial scans and RFID Drivers Licenses? -- After mandatory blood and DNA data bases? -- After a mandatory satellite GPS tracking box in your car, that tracks you AND taxes you for every mile you drive? -- After the government mandates a thermostat in your home that is controlled remotely by the utility companies that tells you how much heat, or air conditioning you deserve? -- After they demand that your entire city turns out for mandatory Vaccinations? -- After guns are banned and confiscated? -- After massive tax increases? -- After crime doubles in your city, and after National Guard Troops are put on the street "to protect you." -- After they start censoring free speech on the Internet, and force all web sites and traffic to a China style, censored Internet II? -- After free speech in the media is censored by the Fairness Doctrine? -- After they take your kids in a mandatory draft to compulsory "Domestic Security Forces", or the Military? -- After they implement nationalized health care, and begin to not only determine who deserves treatment, but also who lives and who dies, and they begin to euthanize the elderly, and the infirm? -- After a round of of discontents and domestic terrorists, including your neighbors, begin to be disappeared to FEMA camps?
You didn't draw the line at 911.
You didn't draw the line on the invasion of Iraq.
You didn't draw the line on Bush's Patriot Acts I, or II.
You didn't draw the line on Bush's Executive Orders.
You didn't draw the line at torture at Gitmo & Guantanamo, or rendition to secret CIA camps.
You didn't draw the line on the on Bankster Gangster Ponzi Schemes that looted your job, your savings, the equity in your home, your 401K, your pension plan, and your tax dollars.
You didn't draw the line when Paulson called Congress behind closed doors, and in a "secret meeting"... hijacked our government by extorting Congress under the threat of imposing Martial Law on the American people... and handed bankers an $800 Billion Dollar Bailout Check.
You didn't draw the line when Obama sent 17,000 additional troops to Afghanistan to protect the Iluminati's Opium trade, and Big Oil's pipeline routes.
You didn't draw the line when Obama broke his promise of never letting this happen again, and just like Bush & Paulson, he bullied a blackmailed, and extorted Congress into handing the bankers billions more.
You didn't draw the line at any of the above.
So when will you draw the line?
When will conspiracy theory turn into reality for you?
When will you say -- enough.
When will you stand up and when will you act?
If not now... when?
