It will be an economic crisis. The reason they wanted to "privatize" Social Security was to make this a larger crisis. They will have to make do.

Is any one monitoring how many Blackwater stormtroopers are in the US??

2. Blackwater is insignificant here
We have waaay too many guns for them to handle the American public. They would be picked off like flies.

4. They are trained and organized and have and have access
to extraordinary weaponry.

And, last I heard, they had some 100,000 of the meanest people on the planet.

7. And, they have families here
...which make them vulnerable. One hundred thousand against 300 million? Not a fucking chance in hell!

11. Where do you come up with 300 million....
you couldnt come up with 300 million like minds if you were giving away 1000 dollar bills on main street.
Amerikans are apathetic and will remain so....all the way to the slaughter house.

21. Almost half of your millions of angry people are heavily armed right wing idiots.
Who would love nothing more than follow Field Marshall Rush's advice and kill liberals.

14. Wow. First of all they won't start with people with guns. And second of all many are not citizens
of the US and don't have families. Many Blackwater mercenaries are felons. Did you see the national guard take away people's personal weapons in NO after Katrina? The gun owners chose to give up their weapons instead of fighting. Guns didn't help at Ruby Ridge or Waco. I think some gun owners over estimate the power of their guns.

18. Do you have a source for that information? I read somewhere that
they hired a lot of foreign soldiers. I don't have a source, but will look more thoroughly. I would feet better if you are correct.

3. Um. They've already taken over the country. They've had it since 11/22/63,
with a short time-out for Jimmy Carter. Now the looting has begun in earnest. All that other stuff over the past eight years? That was just the warmup.

6. I've had a feeling for the past four years...
that these pirates are not going away. They rigged two elections, started a war for profit, emptied the treasury, killed the economy, took away habeas corpus...
They live for power and money and I can't see them giving it up.
O'cynical me.

8. My thoughts exactly concerning blackwater.
150,000 men trained in urban warfare and murder.....

"Infraguard" on the move, recruiting,

"Fusion centers" being manned.

The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team staying home to help out.....



Google is our friend.

Good luck to us all.

22. Not to my knowledge. I understand they were seen at a drug bust in LA not too
long ago -

Could be paramilitary death squads are next, if I am correct in my guessing.

12. This is the kind of thread that makes it
embarrasing to to even come to DU at times. Mindless paranoia.

25. So, get back to drooling in front of your TV in your Mindless Matrix.

Honestly, why do you even bother to read threads like this?

There are plenty of other distractions out there to help you not have to think or deal with anything at all.

Go graze.
