I suspect these attacks are probing missions… If someone were attempting to bring it down, they need to know its ins and outs, and they need know where it is most vulnerable.

While Homeland Security and domestic intelligence agencies monitor the activities of American citizens and militarize local police forces under the pretext of safety, we now have a pretty good idea as to why our southern border has been left completely unprotected.

The molten ingredients of debt, civic decay and global disorder are conjoining in an explosive concoction leading to a conflagration which will flow across the globe on a scale not seen since the Second World War.

At the beginning it was like being in a movie, but pretty soon we all were like “f..k, people get killed for real here”.

The premise behind Minerva is simple: study how violent political overthrow, aka mass civil breakdown, happens in the day and age of social networks, and be prepared to counteract it – by “targeting peaceful activities and protest movements.”

Contrary to popular belief guns can actually save lives. That’s the lesson we can learn from a recent armed abduction that left one perpetrator dead and another wounded.

This can only make sense in a scenario where Homeland Security, the Justice Department and the Obama Administration are now targeting average Americans and their local communities for intimidation, interrogation and the real possibility of future incarceration.

The mistakes have already been made. The instability is already in the system. We’re just waiting for the catalyst…

Tiny assassination drones must be understood as a revolutionary new kind of weapon, and there is firm historical precedent for dramatic sociopolitical shifts rising out of such revolutions.

It seems beyond that of just a typical narcissistic, arrogant, sort of, ‘I’m a leader of a big country and I feel tyrannical at the moment’ kind of attitude.

It’s economy-wide and in the next quarter or two we’re going to see it show up in bright lights to caterwauls of but nobody saw it coming!

They will hate you because you are prepared and you have food, water, weapons and shelter for you and your family, and they do not have anything like that.

In a currency collapse, your life savings will be wiped out. From this point on, the effect cascades like a roaring tsunami racing across the open ocean.

The notion that the global economy is in recovery and that the United States has exited the recession is a facade.

What are we teaching our kids when we send them to prisons for 13 years out of their lives?

This is not some conspiracy theory or sensationalist view of government operations. This is an actual military directive to be executed under orders from the President of the United States.

Logically speaking Vladimir Putin’s time to act is limited and a failure to due so will result in an impotent weakened Russia with little influence outside of its own borders.

As investors the world over get jittery about underlying economic fundamentals and company financials, Amir explains how one asset sphere will come out on top again, just as it has done for hundreds of years (and he’s not just talking about gold).

We still have the Right to Bear Arms and I intend to continue to speak out for that right, and against those who would restrict it – even in the face of this horrible incident by this sad and insane individual.

The fact that a senator even needs to say that shows how far we’ve fallen.

Where is all this headed? Williams warns that the government’s failure to address the economy and our national deficits will lead to disastrous consequences.

The audience laughed when the President mentioned the conspiracy theory surrounding death panels. While the law itself makes no mention of “death panels,” they certainly exist and this fact can’t just be “debunked” as the President would like us to believe.

As you can see, I don’t think any one problem or event will cause the collapse of the American empire, but a number of separate but interlocking events and issues.

The Fed taper is a deliberate action in preparation for an impending market collapse…

In so many ways, what we are witnessing right now is so similar to what we experienced during the build up to the last great financial crisis. We are making so many of the very same mistakes that we made the last time, and yet our “leaders” seem completely oblivious to what is happening. But the warning signs are very clear.

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a sign at a private business or gathering that says “Whites Only.” But when the tables are turned, and the segregation sign says “Blacks Only,” it is perfectly acceptable.

If the Russians wanted they could pull the rug out from under the American energy matrix and 20%, one out of every five homes in America, would be in blackout.

There is one in every crowd. Someone piped up and said, “They can spy on me all they want. I am not doing anything wrong.” They sang this song in Germany in 1933…

People are generally very slow to react, and will only resort to unrest and violence if they already have their backs against a wall. A very effective wall is the lack of access to affordable food.

Congressman Joe Garcia may have a tough go convincing voters he’s the man for the job during this year’s re-election campaign.

Would it be out of the question to suggest that some of these explosives are destined to be delivered into the hands of organizations in the middle east and elsewhere that could use them against western-friendly targets?

I just know that there is someone out there in the cyber world who can straighten me out on this. Am I incapable of critical thinking? Were the math and econ teachers in my caveman K-12 and higher education experience all fools?

Don’t expect our foreign enemies to be firing missiles at major cities any time soon. If an attack is to come to our shores it won’t come in the form of bombs and bullets. At least not at first.
