    Of course. If you speak out against Obeyme, The 0ne, you are already on some DHS list as a possible terrorist. My hope is that flag and even field commanders are patriotic enough to fulfill their oaths of office to support and defend the CONSTITUTION of the United States of America, and not mindless drones like the Nazis who obeyed Der Führer, even when they knew his orders to be wrong and evil.
    In any case, those commanders too stupid to realize they will eventually be held accountable for their treasonous actions, those steeped in the evil of socialism, and those too blind to see Obeyme for the dictator that he is will face not a group of unarmed, helpless Europeans with a bone-deep memory of serfdom, but red-blooded American patriots willing to fight and make someone else die for this land.

    I see it as “possible to highly likely” if Obama is re-elected. This has been a subject of interest of mine for several years. On SH just last week ‘Bcounted’.. wrote “I don't know what will be the breaking point of the American people, but its sure to come. Who would have ever thought that Americans could be oppressed to the breaking point equal to a third world”? I agree!
    The American people are extremely angry right now. This is reflected in a host of polls I read these days. They are getting mad at the government, they are getting mad about the economy, and they are getting mad about the direction that this country is headed. There is vast disagreement about what the solutions to our problems actually are, but what everyone can agree on is that the American people are absolutely seething with anger. Our economy is dying right in front of our eyes, and most Americans have been so “dumbed-down” that they don’t even realize what is happening. As the economy has fallen to pieces anger has been steadily growing. If something is not done to turn the economy around eventually this anger could possibly erupt in frightening and unpredictable ways.

    The American people are not equipped to handle hard times. We are incredibly spoiled. Most of us have only known good times, and most of us have been taught that we will have endless prosperity all of our lives because we live in the greatest nation on earth. Well, “the greatest nation on earth” is about to get a massive wake up call. We are up to our eyeballs in debt and we are bleeding jobs, businesses and wealth at an astounding pace. I believe the current path under Obama will lead to food shortages, even greater un-employment, and the total denigration of the middle-class. I see civil un-rest on many fronts including those that support Obama now.

    Yes, there is anger, indeed. There is also the offsetting factor of "ignore it and "hopefully" it'll go away. I'll always remember the day of passing ZeroCare and expecting that should be and would be the focal point by which massive resistance would build quickly. Guess what? Nothing happened, NOTHING! There has more since, like NDAA, and still nothing. Each and every day resistance is being thwarted a bit more.

    I believe that the back-breaker will be debt collapse, not some war without a battleline. Yet it is very hard to predict what this communistic government might do, and that remains a serious concern of many.

    I cannot say that nothing is being done. Look at the rise of the Tea Party. Look at how many older Americans, and Conservatives of all ages, have taken to the social media to express their anger, frustrations, and to make their views known. We are no longer the silent majority but are making sure our voices are heard. Conservatism/Constitutionalism has drawn definite lines to define itself over the past four years like never before. We have worked hard to place people into places in Government and the Republican Party with great success. While being heard from openly, we are also in the background of this battle for our freedom in a way we have never been. We are exchanging ideas and banding together like never before. We are using the same tools that the left has used for years against us to fight back against them. We have also been patient. We know that we have that greatest power that our forefathers could have ever given us to use; stronger than any weapon available. We have the vote. It is not too late to make the vote work in our favor and I think we all know this and know it is our best line of defense. It is when the vote fails that I wonder what course people will take? It is when our voices mean nothing that I wonder how far people will go?

    Doubts abound, and the people are in control of nothing.

    The UN has no troops other those it can con other nations into providing. While I feel that's quite unlike to be part of this scenario, I will say that if it happens we'll be into WW3 very quickly. Some real Americans will vaporize the UN early on, but that won't be the end of it.

    Under the Radar:

    The military is being transformed. Sympathetic officers are moving up the ranks, Crips, bloods and La Familia are increasingly signing up. The professional army of the first gulf war is gradually giving way to enlistment of undesirables signing up to avoid jail sentences, just like in the era of the draft. So the military is not the same as even 10 years ago.

    On another note, some off the record power struggle is currently underway. The first public exposure of this conflict came to light with the arrest of the Military Police officer in Alaska last year. It is a power struggle between the established military and the administration's NSA, FBI, DOJ and DHS.

    If they're told they're fighting insurgents or terrorists they've proven they'll follow commands without question. I'm sure the government will use those vast amounts of private mercenaries to do the real dirty work, while the military is busy doing the same abroad. There was a time I wouldn't believe it, but considering the past 20 years, it would be pure hope to deny the possibility. Besides, the build up of the Homeland Security with its own army, intelligence, camps, massive ammunition purchases, drills, etc isn't just for show.

    Will the prison guards, aka militarized police or soldiers confiscate your means of defence and force you out of your home? Yes.
