While systemic collapse would certainly kill many, it would not reach the goals of people such as the adherents of the Georgia guidestones or power brokers. I believe they would attempt to keep the infrastructure intact.edit on 28-7-2011 by SmokeandShadow because: (no reason given)
I can't believe I'm arguing for the sensibility of any of this, but---
A contagious virus would be far too risky. There's probably no way to guarantee immunity among the elite, and their ability to survive the crisis would be paramount to their plans. They would hide in bunkers, but that is far too risky for the aims and desires of any ruling group of that sort.edit on 28-7-2011 by Solasis because: (no reason given)
a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.

OH and another thing...The house just passed the bill! news.yahoo.com...edit on 29-7-2011 by secretagentwomyn because: added link
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The House of Representatives approved a Republican deficit plan on Friday that has no chance of becoming law but could pave the way for a last-ditch bid for bipartisan compromise to avert a crippling national default.
If you don't understand the goals, there is no way you can understand the actions leading up to them. Hence why I think this thread is nonsense. It is just a popular idea now (Among AJ listeners and CTS folk) that someone is trying to do away with them....
I think that in many cases, we will once again see extended families, living with each other and sharing the expenses so everyone can have a decent home. I think the bad times will be seen by those elderly and disabled who don't have extended family that can afford to help or those that are already helping, and those that will be strapped for cash without the SS benefits.

My bad.
Next time I will remember to limit what I think and say... and ask you first if it's okay.
I was right all along. You're just way too smart for me.

This has nothing to do with ego. But if you want to posit a stance on some subject, you should be able to justify your position. You have raised a bunch of ideas with no reasoning to back them. Without understanding into what is driving the people that you choose to speak about, you cannot begin to breakdown their actions.

Oh, come on. You know this is about you and turning discussions into flaming shambles... there's no purpose to your rants except to create havoc.
See, you outsmarted me again, you little turd monger!
You're just too much. I surrender.
