A Shock to the System
Source:A Shock to the System - ForexHound.com trading news from the FX world

Michael J. Panzner , Michael J. Panzner Published 12.19.2008 10:21 GMT


Not so long ago, most people would have scoffed at the notion that the United States might experience the sort of turbulence and upheaval that has been common in banana republics or ailing first world nations.

Don't worry, they'll create it if they need to. Google operation northwoods. But perhaps that Russian professor wasn't too far off the mark...

Civil unrest is possible in any society. But I wouldn't get too excited about the prospect at this point.[Mod edited]

That's funny (about Alex Jones), but what about the rest of the article? it looks substantial to me. What do you think?

Just a reminder, the topic is...

Troops Needed To Quell U.S. Civil Unrest

Lets not make this a personal thing.

Thanks...

Going back to the subject, like I said in my other posts, I am hoping for the best for America. However, there is clearly a plan laid out by the US Army:

Quote:
A recent report produced by the U.S. Army War College’s Strategic Institute warns that the United States may experience massive civil unrest in the wake of a series of crises which it has termed “strategic shock.”
We need planned solutions to this.. Any ideas?
