Soon there will be no middle class in North America.
Just the haves and the have nots.
And now this from the Dems:

Bread and circuses is exactly correct.
In the rural/agricultural/tourist area I live in FL, we are losing small businesses at the rate of 14/mo fo the last 3 months in one county. Some of
these are national corps that are being forced to eliminate lower producing locations.
Shoot in here amongst us - some of us must have relief.

You will ask for relief like many others, but you may get
something like this:
www.breitbart.com...
The Russians are going to start staging Blackjack and Bear Bombers out of Cuba.
The severity of this issue is not easily seen.
The reason is the planes are just a delivery truck for what they carry.
That still does not speak to the real issue.
People hear bomber and think it has to fly over the land it is going to bomb.
The problem is these planes "ONLY" carry cruise missiles now with a
a range possibly as far as 5,000 kilometers, or about 3,500 miles.
They could be flying around south of Cuba, launch and still hit anywhere
in the US except the most northern states.
Also most people think, ahhh its a cruise missile and we can shoot it down.
The problem with that is during the war with Serbia they shot down an F-117
stealth fighter and reverse engineered the technology.
It is now part of their advanced cruise missiles that carry 200 Kilo-ton nukes.
So you have a Stealth Cruise Missile on a delivery truck somewhere near cuba,
and the Russians are upset about our missile shield, and are willing to
replay the Cuban Missile Crisis scenario to make their point.
The baseline for the cruise missile is the KH-55 from the 1980's.
en.wikipedia.org...
It has been upgrade since then, but we do not fully know for sure its abilities.
That upgraded critter is now officially known as the KH-102
www.globalsecurity.org...
The fact that is has Stealth abilities is now PUBLIC knowledge
in the above article, in paragraph # 5.
Hints at a newer and even better Stealth Cruise Missile the KH-555
are mentioned as well.
So when people laugh about the old planes, think of them as an old
truck delivering a high tech package.
This may be a second Cuban Missile crisis,
but the person in the Whitehouse is not JFK.
Like the 60's nothing may happen, or some religious ppl may
think it is time for revelations to take place.
Some articles showing the Russians level of anger can be found here:

Just another heads up here.
My bug out bag is packed, and my Evac locale to the west is prepped.
Take care,
