You may believe this article or not about where this is all going, but the underlying facts it uses as support for that conclusion are irrefutable. p.s., I've been expecting this for several years. p.s. It's not at all good, and it's getting worse by the day.

Ferguson Riots, Immigration Reform Framing Coming Civil War Around Race
Old-Thinker News | November 25, 2014

By Daniel Taylor

Media focus on racial division diverting anger away from tyrannical government

Chaos has engulfed Ferguson, Missouri as the mainstream media is directing national attention to divisive racial issues at a time of rising tyranny in America.

Sensational revelations about government corruption are becoming a regular occurrence under the Obama administration. Ordinary Americans are being targeted while known terrorists are escorted through security. Kidnappers, rapists, and murderers are being released from prison; an action sanctioned by the President of the United States. The BATF allows guns to find their way to Mexican drug lords, while the federal government is fighting to disarm American citizens. Mega-banks launder billions of dollars worth of drug money.

Amidst this flurry of rampant corruption, Obamacare architect Johnathan Gruber admitted on video that “lack of transparency” was crucial in passing Obamacare and fool “stupid American voters” into accepting it.

Nearly every agency of government has acquired some form of armaments in the past several years. Police departments across the country are getting mine resistant vehicles. Homeland Security is acquiring billions of rounds of ammunition. The Department of Agriculture recently requested body armor as well as sub machine guns. Many other instruments of war have been stored and deployed.

A divided country

While the wealth of America is being systematically destroyed, divisive issues of race are being inflamed. Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly called Obama’s recent executive order on Amnesty for illegal aliens a “Fort Sumter” event, referring to the defining event at the beginning of America’s first civil war. Obama’s announcement came on November 20th, the same day that Mexico’s Revolution day was celebrated.

At the same time, riots in Ferguson Missouri have attracted the attention of national media, threatening to spark riots in cities across the country. The announcement of the grand jury’s decision to absolve officer Darren Wilson was seemingly timed perfectly to incite riots after 8pm.

National Guard stood down in Ferguson on orders of the White House?

Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder told Fox News that, “Is the reason that the National Guard was not in there because the Obama Administration and the Holder Justice Department leaned on you to keep them out? I cannot imagine any other reason why the governor who mobilized the National Guard would not have them in there to stop this.”

The establishment is well aware that the country is growing increasingly skeptical of the federal government. Confidence in all branches of government are reaching record lows. According to Gallup, Congress has about a 7% approval rating; The presidency around 29% and the Supreme Court at 30%.

The establishment is attempting to direct the spirit of the nation into a destructive revolution of bloody conflagration and hate that will only result in more power for the elite.

If the nation is allowed to unify over issues of sound economic policy, purging government corruption, and re-affirming our moral code as a nation and as individuals, the corrupt elite will be brought to justice. As long as the country is divided this cannot happen. If the nation falls into chaos, these central unifying issues need to guide a real revolution of positive change that will rise from the ashes.

This generation, just as America’s founders did, will provide the heroes and legends for the next. Your actions and choices during this time will alter the outcome of this historical time period and set the cultural agenda for the next cycle. Its up to you.

The Coming Revolution in the U.S. on 02:23 - Nov 27 by Davillin

Your first sentence, "But we in the UK are not getting our view from your media, we get it from our media" explains it all.

And where do your media get their stories about the U.S.? From media feeds from the U.S., or directly from the U.S. media.

If you had access to unbiased news about the U.S., you'd know that the overwhelming majority of Americans are almost unbearably tolerant. But that's not the "American" you get from our media through your media.

You might reconsider "so extreme," "genuinely laughable," and "nut cases." Please don't ask me to amplify that. I prefer being tolerant to being candid on this one.


Our media don't get the stories from 'media feeds' etc. The BBC alone has about 20 permanent US correspondents including White House correspondents, any number of Washington correspondents, and others based in for example, New York and LA. They probably have as big if not bigger a permanent set up in the US as many US channels.

Our access to unbiased US news is, therefore, if anything better than yours, since the BBC (and the other stations here have much the same set up) have no political agenda as such when it comes to either party.

You made a comment earlier about Fox News and stated that someone would probably say they've seen it. You should know that this isn't people having been to the States on holiday and who happened to catch the coverage for a short time! Fox News is a channel on British television - we have the same ability to watch it 24/7 if we wanted as you do, so I'm not certain why you believe that we don't have the same ability to comment on it as you? We have many news channels on British television and that is one of them, as is CNN or Bloomberg or Al Jazeera or many others.

And re Michele Bachmann, I have reconsidered 'genuinely laughable' and 'nut case'. On reflection I should have described her and others like her as bat sh*t crazy. And, again, we're not relying here on stories we have seen planted by Obama loving media sources. She has given interviews / speeches that have been broadcast in full on British TV, so unless you believe that they are over dubbing her with some of her extreme, right wing, religious nonsense (her 'God told me to do it' type stuff is particularly fascinating) then we are getting a perfectly balanced view of her thoughts on various matters.

None of this is a criticism of the US - I have worked and holidayed in the US over many years and enjoy both the country and the people very very much. So please don't take this as in anyway anti American - nothing could be further from the truth.
But the US is far less tolerant (as a whole) than the UK. There is less religious tolerance, less racial tolerance, less tolerance of those worst off and less tolerance of people's sexuality. And that view doesn't come from filtered media reports, but on my observation of American people that I have met and, indeed, worked with over many years.

The reality is it makes no sense to discuss America as a single entity because it is in fact a nation that is completely polarised.

"Summary of results of the 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012 presidential elections: "


(Key: Red states Republican, Blue Democrat, and Purple swing states.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_states_and_blue_states

The Red states are the largest by area but have low population densities and are largely agrarian economies with the exception of Texas, and as a consequence generate little economic value.

In contrast the blue states produce most of the wealth and as such represent the main sources of tax revenues.

I believe what will happen over the next 50-100 years is that both of these polarised fractions will become so sick of each other that the Union will fracture, leaving each side free to adopt their desired fiscal and social policies on a permanent basis.

Then everybody will not only get what they want, but also what they deserve.

"Does God Hate The Economy? (Yes)

Could it be that the real reason the world economy is in the tank is not the tax-and-spend liberals perniciously penalizing The Rich for their success–but instead, the wrath of a vengeful god? Yes. The god one is correct.

This possibility is much on the minds of Americans, most of whom are unable to understand basic math, much less a moderately sophisticated system of macroeconomics, and are therefore ripe for supernatural explanations of their myriad troubles. A new survey out of Baylor University indicates that not only do Americans routinely prefer superstitious explanations for problems with thoroughly factual and available answers; they also are unafraid to share this boldly preposterous philosophical tendency with pollsters.

About one in five Americans combine a view of God as actively engaged in daily workings of the world with an economic conservative view that opposes government regulation and champions the free market as a matter of faith.

"They say the invisible hand of the free market is really God at work," says sociologist Paul Froese, co-author of the Baylor Religion Survey, released today by Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

We imagine Paul Froese shaking his head, sucking his teeth, and taking a long, deep swig from a nearby bottle of bourbon immediately after giving that quote.

The news isn't all bad, though: "34% of entrepreneurs say they frequently look up to the Lord." So there are still plenty of credulous suckers out there to be taken advantage of if you get into a tough spot."

The aforementioned Ms Bachmann is a particular fan of God being involved in all sorts of issues. He frequently speaks to her both directly and through her husband on all sorts of political and economic matters.

I can only wonder why people at large take this sort of stuff any more seriously than I take the ramblings of Derek Acorah when he has conversations with dead people.

The Coming Revolution in the U.S. on 07:22 - Nov 27 by Pacemaker

My first statement suggests that within a short period of time people of black and Hispanic background will form the majority and nothing more than that.

However I presume that over a much longer period of time the decision makers will also reflect that.

If those decision makers act in a fair and just way then democracy has worked I suppose and the "white man will reap what he has sown" but I believe that it is more likely to be the start of the next revolution for the States. There are far too many on the far right and left of politics and the media to accept change of that magnitude and a split along the lines of the Union Confederate map with CA being on its own (But still bankrupt), would be the result.

The rise and fall of the USA?


Quite an excellent analysis [even though I somewhat disagree with your Union/Confederate map analogy]. The split is most definitely within states, not between them, although there are certain states who lean strongly one way or the other, which I think is your main point.

[It should go without saying that you're right about California, which always goes its own way, and almost always to the detriment of the other 49.]

The Coming Revolution in the U.S. on 08:08 - Nov 27 by Lord_Bony

What will really spark off revolution in America,I have long predicted wil be ..

THE COLLAPSE OF THE DOLLAR.

This will be the real test wether government agencies will fire weapons against American people.

The day it collapses on the stock exchange will be catastrophic.soon after street riots will start on epic scales as money becomes unavailable.it will be a time of Marshall law and F.E.M.A. Camps.

They know what's coming down the pipe.why do you think Obama has spen billions arming agencies like Homeland Security and The Feds while imposing draconian gun laws to take guns off ordinary citizens?




[My mouse just went rogue and i lost my reply. Oh, well, perhaps I'll do it better this time.]

There is much in your post worthy of consideration, but I will not disagree with it.

However, when I try to remember a country that collapsed because its currency did, I'm stuck.

Germany suffered one of the most massive currency collapses after World War I [please let's not get sidetracked into the primary causes], but the country did not.

The U.S. suffered a double collapse when Stock Market crashed and the Great Depression hit, but the country did not, I'm aware that the resolution of that double-hit was pure artifice, but it kind of worked.

The government will do whatever looks necessary to save complete collapse, even if it means issuing scrip. Look at the U.S. today, where our currency is more like scrip than "currency.." One glaring example that is rarely exposed in the media is that fact that the U.S. Federal Reserve has been buying U.S. debt issued by the U.S. Treasury Department at an insane rate. See the details at the URL below.

It reminds me of nothing else but the fictional country where the people "made a precarious living taking in each others laundry" [attributed to several authors, but I saw it first in The Admiral Crichton by J. M. Barrrie].

So, the establishment in America are pushing hard to force a revolution so they can grab even more power and grind the ordinary person into the dust.

Correct me if I am wrong, but that is the gist of this, yes?

The establishment have an agenda, they always do and always will. But trying to foment revolution!!
How many of the elite (through history) have survived to keep power, in a succesful revolution?
Of course, if the revolution is a faliure, then they could grab even more of the pie. But there are so many guns in the U.S. and so many para military organisations. Not forgetting the army/national guard and police.
Can the establishment be so sure the armed forces would support them and fire on the public?
And what if it was a peaceful revolution? They can happen, theoretically!

People keep saying a revolution is coming over here. But generally speaking, even though we claim to be so hard done by, most people have got it too easy to rock the boat that much.
The thought of a world where money has ceased to be of worth, where power is held (in individual countries, regions or even towns) by several people who all want more (precipitating ongoing conflict) and where the food supply has stopped, in all probability so would the gas, electric and water. That is enough to keep most people in their places.
IN places like Libya, Syria, Palestine etc, life is a far cry from what we have in the west. And just what would all those who survive on benefits do if the government collapsed?


Your question, which I consider a very important one, and in urgent need of the clearest answer: "So, the establishment in America are pushing hard to force a revolution so they can grab even more power and grind the ordinary person into the dust [emphasis added].

"Correct me if I am wrong, but that is the gist of this, yes?"

Not correct as stated. Certain elements of political power are pushing hard to bring about a collapse of the current system, not "to force a revolution."

They are, however -- in they eyes of those who have watched and followed their machinations -- preparing for the eventuality that some level of armed resistance is the result. They are arrogant enough to believe that they can put down a "revolution."

Regarding your second point -- "and grind the ordinary person into the dust [emphasis added] -- could be seen as an attempt to trivialize the danger. To "grab more power" is the obvious intent -- to reform the entire system to one they prefer.

I strenuously direct your attention to two statements irrefutably made by Obama [quoted from my memory, but accurate]: "to fundamentally transform America," and "to redistribute wealth." Both said while not on his ever-present teleprompter, by the way.

sorry Dav - I genuinely don't understand your reference to language?

There is not a phrase in my reply to you that I wouldn't happily use in front of my 90 year old great aunt or my 12 year old God Daughter. If you are referring to me saying 'bat sh*t crazy' then I can only say that the use of that language here is utterly inoffensive.

You must realise that in the UK, the BBC will without thought use the 'f' word without bleeping once 9pm has passed, and no one, repeat no one, will bat an eyelid.

My problem with people like Michele Bachmann is that they are privileged people that prey on the fear of the uneducated. They regularly invoke God to support their view, and ignore Him when it doesn't suit them. They replicate the behaviour of the Church in this country some 50 or 60 years ago, when their hell and brimstone philosophy was engineered to support the oppression of the badly educated majority and keep them in check.

For any candidate for the Republican nomination (or the Democrat nomination for that matter) to spout nonsense about 'God' telling them to act in certain ways is reprehensible. They don't actually believe it themselves and that makes them utter hypocrites.

I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving - I hope that you are enjoying the day !

It wouldn't be the first, and won't be the last time that states are split with each other and/or within themselves.
Lincoln nearly didn't get the 13th amendment through because there was worry making negroes equal in the law would lead to them getting the vote and then subsequently......shock, horror.....women too!
It split states and parties, even families. Politics is a funny old thing like that! It happened back then, and happens all the time here and now. Whichever country you are in, politics causes divisions.
But those at the very top have never behaved just so similarly, they mirror each other, they make the same claims. They are scared to do or say something different. They claim the same opinions as their own. Put the same things in their manifesto, if worded slightly differently.
Worldwide our politicians are more like sheep than lions, that is part of the problem. It's also why I can't believe the U.S. elite would want a revolution, they have too much to lose. So they follow each other into obscurity.

How many modern politicians will be remembered or revered like Lincoln?

Or maybe if the put upon peoples of America want freedom, they should gather at Harpers Ferry and try again?

Maybe I'll change my name to Thaddeus Stevens and take a trip stateside. All men (and women) are equal under the law, if not equal in nature.

We need a good revolution to rebalance things.

It's just the same as this country - the right-wing press/reporters/bloggers/etc are remarkably good at generating a national sense of crisis whilst out of office.

The Federal Reserve has spent six years and over $3tn buying up bonds to save the economy. Now it has to figure out how to sell it all back without creating a panic...the day is coming soon when interest rates will shoot up and that will be the beginning of the end...

Quantitative easing and all the other "financial experiments" the Federal Reserve had been fiddling about with the last few years since the 2008 collapse is now coming to an end...soon it will be pay back time...there is so much national sovereign U.S. debt the dollar cannot take it...that's when it will collapse on the world markets and a new revolution (ugly) will take place in America the outcome of which we know not...
