As much as I try to think that this is not possible, that how can a so powerful nation cease being the greatest nation on Earth overnight, I keep seeing the signs that in fact is happening, that an ugly future is unveiling to replace the good life in the U.S. when I go online.
News not shown on CNN, Fox News, the San Francisco Chronicle, the New York Times, you name it, keeps coming at my direction via the Internet every day. The recently coming of the worst financial fall down of the U.S. economy in history that has hit the country, was anticipated early this year pretty clearly.
I kept receiving information online stating that something of great magnitude was about to happen before the presidential election.
Every time I had the chance to spread the message to other people about it, sometimes their response was, “Oh! Another conspiracy theory.” And I believe they respond this way because most people want to believe in the government, and most importantly, they really believe the traditional media will tell them the truth of the day.
I have heard that before this November elections, coinciding with a prospect bombing of Iran, the President may declare marshal law. Iran has repeatedly stated that if they are attacked, they will block ships navigation in the Persian Gulf, in doing so they will abruptly halt oil supply to most parts of the world.
Can you imagine our future? If marshal law is declared, there won’t be elections, and Bush will keep running the country under emergency powers as Commander-in-chief of the armed forces. There will be massive protests and looting on the streets because the supermarkets will run out of food in 48 hours. I suggested in previous editorials that we all should start storing food because a food crisis of great proportions never seen before is approaching.
We don’t have or grow food in the cities. Not in San Francisco, not in Daly City, not in San Mateo. Most of our food comes in trucks, but without oil, there won’t be food delivered, hence protests on the street will surge, and consequently, there will be repression – possibly by the U.S. Army.
The Army Times, an independent weekly newspaper serving active, reserve and retired United States Army and United States National Guard personnel and their families, reported on Sept. 6, that an Army unit will be deployed in October for domestic operations in our own United States streets.
According to the article, beginning in October, the Army plans to station an active unit inside the United States for the fi rst time to serve as an on-call federal response team in times of emergency. http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/09/army_homeland_090708w/.
The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq, but now the unit is training for domestic operations. The unit will soon be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command.
The Army Times reports that this new mission marks the fi rst time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to Northern Command. The paper says the Army unit may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control. The soldiers are learning to use so-called non-lethal weapons designed to subdue and contain unruly or dangerous individuals and crowds.
The government knows and so is preparing to stop anyone who plans to stop the course of their plan, and the media is not investigating or covering the real news. They are keeping us entertained with the bailout issue, in which the government will be borrowing $700 billion from the Federal Reserve Bank to bailout a group of corrupt private bankers on the back of the taxpayers. What’s really happening is best described in the following statement.
“These are dark times while you were sleeping the cockroaches were busy about their work, rummaging through the U.S. Constitution, and putting the finishing touches on a scheme to assert absolute power over the nation’s financial markets and the country’s economic future,” wrote Mike Whitney, in his online blog this month, which was published on dozens of websites. (http://www.smirkingchimp.com/author/mike_whitney).
“Industry representative Henry Paulson (Secretary of the U.S. Treasury) has submitted legislation to congress that will finally end the pretense that Bush controls anything more than reading the lines from a 4’ by 6’ teleprompter situated just inches from his lifeless pupils. Paulson is in charge now, and the coronation is set for sometime early next week.
Paulson rose to power in a stealthily-executed Bankster’s Coup in which he, and his coterie of dodgy friends, declared martial law on the U.S. economy while elevating himself to supreme leader. All Hail Caesar!” The days of the republic are over,” Whitney said.
Unless we start communicating among ‘We the People’, our little freedom that is still in existence, will be gone forever. We are weeks away from becoming a dictatorial, totalitarian nation, we should unite to stop the destruction of our country. The one who has ears listen.
