What are the rumors of an October devaluation of US dollar?  We need details in order to evaluate scenarios.

"Military action against countries that do not buy US bonds"

 

 

Absurd

 

- How would the ultimatum be framed? "Buy our bonds, or else"?

- And what if those countries have not enough money to buy any bonds? Have you remarked that trade surpluses are collapsing the world over, while most countries run much increased deficits?

- Please cite one example of war in history which was fought for such a goal!

 

Military action against countries that do not buy US bonds. Yes the US military could overthrow Obama etc and take over the country and start wars against Germany ( achief anti- US instigator ), Saudi Arabia, SOuth Korea, Japan. Chiana ad Russia are tough since nuclear retaliation possible.

Please, our military leaders are not stupid enough to take over to solve a temporary political problem.

 

Simply put, if the October devaluation takes place the current members of Congress are toast.  As the 'Town Hall meetings' have shown, the public is angry and primed for a revolt at the polls.  Most sitting members would probably lose in the primaries to candidates that will repudiate them and promise their prosecution if elected in order to placate the mob.

And where are they now? You honest to God have no clue how America works do you? Before you see US troops roaming the streets of America, it's gonna take a hell of a lot more then some banks going broke and some rough financial times. Unlike some other nations, our military understands their role in this nation and more then anyone, they respect what the US constitution stands for. They have been fighting and dieing to preserve it for over 2 centurys now dude. The honor, respect and sacrifices they make every single day to preserve it is one of the things that makes this nation the great nation it is. It's nice they are the most mighty military to ever set foot on planet earth, but that is NOT what makes us OR them great Zoo.

 

The fact they are so mighty and I am not even the least bit concerned with, or for that matter, have ever even thought about them taking over this nation until reaDING your usual nonsense pretty much says it all.

But homeland security and FBI etc are preparing USA for a military rule scenario under FEMA as off today. Actually it wouldn't be surprising at all given the economic realities and all the militias(read any msm reports this month for growth of militia) that are popping up. If the economy falters further with all the gun sales etc you will see the US military deployed and a bunch of people in military camps as suspected militia or other radical individuals. It is highly optimistic of you to think that in the near future the global economy cannot crash severely with severe implications of social breakdown. I would suggest you go to youtube abd search Celente for like minded theories, as my posts are largely from reading and viewing other blogs, I don't just pull theories out thin air, I do offer "what if" or "maybe" scenarios, and its obvious they are hypothetical.

 

1) Here is hypothetical military takeover scenario- US economy collapses, Obama gets assassinated or worse an assault by militia groups in Washington DC taking out US leadership, several towns in the South controlled by militia with heavy gunpower, general social unrest and police cannot handle or even get gas for their cars- who you gonna call -ghostbusters?

And where are they now? You honest to God have no clue how America works do you?

 

I have more than a clue how America works, what really is a weak point is what happens when America does not work(who reaaly knows). In its short history AMerica has 2 very significant times when things did not work- Civil war (and oh the military was roaming the streets) Great Depression (no military here), and oh Vietnam war protests- I clearly wasn't living in the US then or have a detailed knowledge of those times, but again there was no important if any military involvement in the streets.

 

1 out 3 times when things "did not work" military was in the streets.
