The UK and US share lists across agencies, and given that the United States is spearheading the war on terror, in all likelihood the many watch lists that exist within our own security infrastructure are frighteningly susceptible to corruption and illegal tampering.

What is transpiring in the Arab world will spread throughout many European states. While the call to arms will be spoken in different tongues, the underlying causes will be the same.

According to a recent report out of Islamabad, governments across the world have finally realized that the rise in essential food commodities, coupled with an ever increasing global population and decreased production related to weather and climate, may be the single most dangerous catalyst for political uprisings.

Two years after the worst recession most of us have ever known, the stock market has come roaring back. Corporate profits are up. The economy is growing again.

Our primary objective in any far from equilibrium event, disaster or crisis is to ensure the safety of those closest to us. As we saw in the aftermath of the Haitian and Chilean earthquakes, and like we’re seeing in Egypt today, the breakdown of law and order happens quickly, often without warning.

Yes, I’m talking about FEMA camps. I’m not sure if I actually believe that they exist or not, but I have absolutely no doubt that our government is capable of such a thing. These are, after all, the same people who want to see all travelers naked — and grope their genitals. Honestly, how much of a stretch would camps really be?

I believe our government is in imminent danger of losing its legitimacy. Why? Our federal government is bankrupt and threatening to bankrupt several generations of Americans. At some point – one that is rapidly approaching –Americans will repudiate these debts and the legitimacy of the government that incurred them.

The riots we are witnessing around the world are spreading. People are tired of being hungry, they’re sick of rising prices, they feel robbed of their pensions, ripped off by corrupt politicians and shadow bankers, and they are pointing the blame squarely on the elected (sometimes self appointed) officials running their countries. Europe, North Africa, the Middle East – could the US be close to seeing the same in our cities?

One thing is perfectly clear: Americans are spending their hard earned savings at an unprecedented rate.

As is typically the case, the leading governments of the world have waited until the threat is at its precipice before taking action. And, just as with the financial crisis, economic ministers of the G-20 nations, either voluntarily or due to ignorance, have proposed drastic global action to stem the rise in prices by directing regulatory control at the symptoms of the disease, as opposed to the disease itself.

We the people have absolutely no say in what they do, nor are Fed officials held to account for any of their actions, because they simply do not fall under any sort of government oversight.

In this short address to the EU Parliament Mr. Farage once again points out how government control of our so-called free market economy leads, not to liberty and happiness for the common man, but rather, “chaos, discord and misery for millions.”
