Well Rocket, aside from the financial woes, your list is hardly a harbinger of things to come. You have things listed that are far from being proven. The other stuff... well, that happens every single year. There is always a crisis in a country, there is always a war going on, there is always terrorist attacks, there are lies, scams, huge coverups, that's a regular thing. This year is no different.
The only thing that's standing out is the financial situation we are in. While it's a mess, I don't see cities clearing out because of it.
Of course, there is also that we see this sort of thing all the time, and all the time, nothing comes of it. EVER. There is never martial law, there is never huge disaster, as much as many here would like them to, as odd as I find that attitude.
I think October will be a regular month, with the same approximate # of crisis, issues, and yelling between parties.... nothing will change.

You must understand they want a revolution. War costs money. Except this time the US Government will ask the UN for help and hand over our sovereignty outright.

Why? Because people BELIEVE this stuff. And they spread it around and expond on it as fact. Read the posts. The one above yours is calling the people who DON'T subscribe to the hyperbole 'sheeple'. The fact is, the vast majority of this anti flu vaccine crap has been initiated as politcical propaganda. And averyone buys into it and parrots it back. There is no 'mandatory' vaccine for the general population but you can't convince some people of it.
This may not be exactly the same as yelling 'fire' in a movie theater but it comes close. When the GOP was in-office they controlled this country using fear and paranoia. Obama gets in and he attempts to dial that back. Remember those days when the pressure came off? Now, much to my personal amazement, the far right/GOP has found a way to play the fear game even when they're NOT in office. When will people learn? It's you people who are the sheeple. You're being used as pawns.
I've grown-up being a survivalist. I believe in being prepared always and have as little trust in the government as anyone here. But this is getting ridiculous.

Amen to this. It's fine to have a healthy skepticism for the government, but NOT everything is a conspiracy.
