Zeus, The Nazis came to power democratically after bouts of hyper inflation and depression created the conditions for extreme change to either the left (commies) or right (nazis). Those conditions were caused by a flawed monetary system and poor monetary policies at home and abroad (and massive foreign obligations among other things). The pre-conditions for those disastrous economic times are not unlike what's going on in the US now. The idea is to avoid the conditions for dangerous extremists to get into power. IMO sometimes that requires overthrowing the idiots already there if voting them out becomes impossible (which it is here). Anyone with an IQ higher than a rock already knows that we are on an unsustainable path that is sure to end badly because of the massive unfunded promises of medicare, medicaid, and social security, combined with already existing outrageous foreign obligations and massive deficits needed to support our empire abroad, all those programs, and interest payments currently. It's OVER Zeus. It's a matter of when the fat lady sings. It may be within 10 years or it may be 30 years from now, but it's over unless we gut this government. Those in power are too corrupt and incompetent to lead us out of this. Even if they weren't, the financial elites are more than willing to use the Federal Reserve to gut the country and enrich themselves. I'm too old and impaired to be part of it, but I am hoping there are enough courageous patriots out there that after failing in their democratic efforts (and they will), will do what has to be done. I don't want to be an old man when it all comes tumbling down.
