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.

 

You call the civil war which killed more Americans then any time in US history a simple *did not work*????  Even then after the war it was recognized the military was now doing things they were not supposed to be doing and were eventually taken off the streets because its against the US constitution. Your shining example of failure is actually a shining example of the US constitution working as it was designed to clown. Not many nations in history could have the courage to fight a war like that and then the ability/courage when it was over to remove the military and put them back in their garisons where they came from. Another absolute glorious example of the greatness of America and the US military!!!

 

 

The EUs 90 day requirement is bassed on the previous years oil * imports* and would be divided up among the member nations based on their previous years oil imports. So European nations are certainly not going to have equal amounts of oil available. France for instance has a meager 65-70 million barrels in its SPR. It produces in country a total of a meager 24,000  barrels of oil AND natural gas a day. So IOW, if they were cut off 100% from imports they are hosed if that meager 65 mil barrels gets used up. Cars and trucks in France will come to a screaching hault in very short order. They have a lot of nuke plants so they can at least most of them maybe sit in their homes and stay warm until they all starve I guess.

Some clarifications- i have no connection to France,the handle is just that a handle. Actually I am a national of USA oh really passport et al.. And oh this depression militias etc are pretty much mainstream news, i hate to argue a speculative issue as past conduct or behaviour or performance is not indicative of the future. Your arguments are legitimate but do not guarantee similar conduct in the future.

 

If ur theory of how military behaved in the past is a 100%indicator of how they would behave in the future then black people
 need to worry about possible slavery or segregation since that was the American way a few decades ago. Past performance is no guarantee of  future performance.
