Why are we at war right now? Can anyone answer this for me? I know why, but i want to hear what others have to say.
I'd like to know also. I'd also like to know why we went into LIbya with guns blazing. Ask these guys and the UN and our President who have climbed on board along with other key nations. Study their crisis map and look at the current climate in these pinpointed countries and regions.

Oh I know what lies ahead if global finances crumble. Rebuilding from scratch and a lot of hard work. Yes it will be tough, but the current system cannot continue as it has been for so many years.
Bring it on I'm ready for a challenge!

Who has the resources to rebuild after complete collapse? The people protesting who think they have nothing or think that everything should be given to them? Those who are dependent on the very institution they abhor will be left in the dust. A different elite class is steering this movement and it is this class that is wringing their hands to seize control.

Is also the driving force in the RTP movement that has worked its way into our government, the United Nations and beyond. Its branch organizations and recipients of its money are partially behind the OWS movement as well. These are the elite who will have the resources to rebuild anything. Not you or me.
We’re in this for the long haul. There are no “solutions” that can be presented quickly to make us go away. And so there will be moments where our presence is no longer an uncomfortable and unknown variable, but rather is normalized and integrated. It’s in those moments that we have to push the envelop [sic], pry open the space of possibility even farther. We go as far as we can to destabalize [sic], but maintain momentum. And when that’s the new “normal” then we go farther. That’s how change happens, how we shift the terrain and the terms of the game.

So I guess you could say that nut cracked and the truth has beeen revealed in the past few years.......
I think he is the only vote that could "potentially" save what "we" know as America.....
Paul supporters need to hit the streets and take over the Occupy movement........which would probably lead to more violence.........

On August 10, 2011, the hacker group “Anonymous” announced that it would join the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. That’s what sparked my interest in monitoring #OccupyWallStreet.
I reached out to a colleague and asked if he would be interested in studying the protest with me. At first, it seemed disorganized, and we believed it would only be a few hundred protestors.
As we engaged in monitoring its growth, we recruited other people to help us begin the collection of data available via social media. We began mapping out key players, and monitored Anonymous’s efforts to organize protests in the San Francisco Bay area public transportation system (#opBART) in order to detect patterns and key influencers.
Then, at the end of August, we were alerted by a fellow researcher that information about USDoR (U.S. Day of Rage, to which Occupy Wall Street is connected) had been posted on Shamuk and Al-Jahad, two Al-Qaeda recruitment sites. We began to take the “Occupy” protest more seriously, and dedicated more time to research and monitoring.
Days later, Anonymous announced that it would be releasing its new DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) tool. Because of the Al-Qaeda posting, we contacted the New York Field Office of the FBI so they could investigate the potential threat. From that point on, we decided we needed to include the Human Element of Intelligence (HUMINT), and to infiltrate the protestors to map their ties to Anonymous, and to the postings on Shamuk and Al-Jahad.
In addition to the involvement of socialists, anarchists, and other radicals, the emails also reveal heavy union involvement from the beginning of the “Occupy” movement, as well as discussion about the role of the Democratic Party, and how the movement should respond to President Barack Obama.
The emails also reveal that the Occupation attempted to provoke the New York Police Department prior to some of the clashes that occurred with activists.
Additionally, the emails reveal the many failed efforts of the hacker collective Anonymous. If those efforts had succeeded, they may have damaged the global economy.

Those e-mails could be fabricated, and most likely are. People have to organize, so they did so through e-mail lists..my local occupy does it, and theres nothing about alCIA-da there.
