So, I was watching MMA on TV last night with my son and throughout the program the Navy had TV recruitment commercials calling the US Navy a "Global Force for Good." Since I do not watch TV on a regular basis I do not know how long the Navy has been billing itself as such but I was completely disgusted. The commercials were surreal. I felt like I was watching the movie Starship Troopers. You know, the movie about war with bugs where TV was filled with military propaganda about how great and glorious the military was.

I found it truly disturbing. What's even more disturbing is the thought of how many young people will fall for the bullshit and join up thinking they are actually doing good instead of being fodder for the Global Force for the murder of innocent women and children still living in 12th century mud huts.

It seems pretty obvious to me that we are going to continue bullying the world until they turn on us and fight back.

If the economy collapses as some people predict, there is no telling how the government is going to react or what they are going to do get it going again. My bet is that they begin attacking countries left and right and create a wartime economy much like Hitler did in Germany.

I'm not sure they have the might to fight back unless the rest of NATO and the Brits turn on us. You see that happening? I don't. They may withdraw support, ... if only, ... but I don't see them turning against us, not in our lifetime.

Good point. However, if the US economy collapses, I can't imagine how the economies throughout the world can survive. If/When that happens, governments all over the world are going to be looking for others to blame. We are the most likely target (and rightfully so). Russia and China are already setting the stage for this with their comments.

As to the economy, I have no idea how it can do anything but collapse if there's real math behind the numbers. Who knows how powerful RothCo. actually is and how much wealth they have to prop up the entire world. It's a lot, but can it be injected like that to keep things afloat?

Yes, common sense makes one think that this is it - the shit is finally hitting the fan. However, I've been hearing this literally my whole life. While I know it's just a matter of time, I'm through trying to guess when that time will arrive.

How would we pay for the "destruction of the world" if the "almighty dollar" collapses?

1930's Germany was in much worse shape than we are in and they were able to make it happen. I have no idea how they would do it but I have no doubt that if the PTB believed it was the only way for them to remain in power they would do it without blinking an eye.

Some seem to think that things are going to take off tomorrow and this week. I don't, but it could be an interesting week.

Yes. It most certainly will be. Depending on who you read we are either about to experience financial Armageddon or this is much to do about nothing. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

MMA?

Germany came back when Hitler began issuing his own d'marks, building autobanns, and getting the men back to work.

As Marge Schott famously observed, He had some good ideas, he just moved too quickly on some of them.
