Oh don't get me wrong, and I do agree with you on your last point. I also 'sense' acceleration in events and a definite end point to the current trends. Perhaps very painful transition would be more accurate than end point. The problem is, it's nothing but a vague but very real sense. It's something I think I've been reading people talk about feeling at least back into 2011 and more as time has gone on.
In the interest of a true conversation on this let me ask you this? What do you see revolution in America actually looking like in a "This is how the nation looks today" sense, taken sometime in the middle of it? Do you see clear and well defined sides, borders of conflict, safe areas or lack of them?
The sense I've had is a general ' The center cannot hold ' feeling that it's coming down and coming down hard by it's own sheer weight and mismanagement. By 'it' I mean Government as it's running today and going from Washington to London to Manila, with many in-between, in fast sequence, when it starts for real.
Unrest ....uncertainty.. and a very challenging time to be had by all is the best I can get clear in that sense of future climax to the storm we're seeing. I just don't get any sense or see the path to achieve unified or combined force for command as it would need to be in a revolt?
So where we will probably disagree is that I think we will ultimately be sucked into a civil war, rather than revolution, by agents provocateur and/or false flag attacks.

Yes, and here is an example of inflation:
A pound of ground turkey cost was .79 in 2004, it rose from .79 to .99 between 2004 and 2008.
The price of a gallon of gas spiked to around $4.00 late in 2008, and the retailers used that as an excuse to push the price further up to about $1.89 by 2011, while the price of gas fluctuated wildly during the same period.
One month ago I found the same brand of ground turkey for .99 a pound, 2 weeks later the one pound of the same turkey was reduced to 12 ounces for the same price, a week after that the price rose to $1.50.
Weird thing is that I bought the same ground turkey at the same store yesterday at .99 for 12 ounces.
Anyway, the inflation isn't hidden if you actually watch what you are buying, portions are being reduced in almost every category, the quality of hard goods, food and textiles is declining every day.
You pay the same for less and don't realize you are actually being ripped off, bout the only thing that is a good deal anymore is potatoes, I'm sure they will be spiking soon as well.
And in the days of old all you had to do was get off your ass and go get what you needed, other than that it was free.
Free, what a novel concept.
Go ahead and keep your firearms... they are not worth much against the weapons you have paid for in your military!

But I do have a question- you say it can only end in violent revolution. What exactly are you talking about ending?
And also, be realistic- it's not all run by murdering psychopaths. There actually are powerful people out there who are good and working to build a better world. Lots of them. Otherwise, how would you explain all of the great stuff about America? All of the happy and prosperous people?
Ending means ending of current Banking-Military-Industrial-Political-Complex
Ending means no more Pentagon, replaced by genuine patriot army to defend the nation.
No more Private Central Bank, replaced by NATIONAL no debt attached central bank.
White House and Congress replaced by people like Ron Paul and his son Rand Paul
Alex Jones as the secretary of State.........(ok maybe not, that's scary too)

I get it that you are a good guy, good gal.
That you don't wanna hurt anyone, that ever since you grew up at age of 25-35 you believe in Live and Let Live.
Unfortunately, you will not get your wish.
You will in fact get A VIOLENT BLOODY REVOLUTION, with perhaps million casualties.
Here is Why
The reason you believe every thing will somehow finish OK is because you believe government will be able to stop itself, you believe government will at some point decide, "we can't push people past this red line" we have to make ourselves happy with how far we went. We can't go further.
WRONG
Government will not be able to stop itself, the psychotic murderers that run US government are not capable of self control, if you think of yourself as a GOD, you think you have no limits. Why would you stop yourself. You wouldn't.
Government will push its power to such an extent, that even a goody two shoe like average person, will have no choice but to pick up a weapon and fight. Sure maybe that's 5 years down the read, OR maybe 50 years down the road. But it will happen as sure as the sun will set.
This has happened so many times to so many nations.
To believe that United States is exempt from everything that makes a human being (good and bad) is an illusion.
If you won't have to fight
Your children will.
Boys and Girls, will be future combatants and free blood donors onto the streets and fields.

Yeah those who do psy-ops on internet sites on behalf of government seem to be paid more. LOL
Don't you see
this is how it begins, and it can't be stopped.
10 years ago, or even 8 years ago, no one took seriously the fact that government would employ online shills.
Today more than 50% consider it a fact. If you don't think so, well that's your problem, not mine.
More accurately, WILL be your problem.
