I spent 5 weeks travelling round America by train a decade ago and saw 29 states. The train is a great way to travel and to meet people, and there was a pretty broad spectrum of opinions being offered to me.

I thought the most interesting perspective was from a guy who said this: the american dream is a lie told to the masses to keep them poor and passive. The American system only works if the power and money stay with the tiny minority, a system that needs a mass underclass to balance the extreme wealth at the top. His insight was that the mass underclass were the ones with the guns. If they wake up and realise their position they could overthrow the system.

His model for this was the LA riots - the city was very close to completely losing control of the situation. America would need to send the troops in against the people to control them.

The most interesting comment was by some guy who feels that it's all a big conspiracy to oppress the masses? Sounds like pure paranoia to me.

If you ask people what type of government we have they will say a 'democracy'

A Democracy is 2 Wolves and 1 Sheep deciding what to have for Dinner.

The thought of troops being sent in to control the people is more of a nightmare to me than anything I could dream up myself. Scary thought, since the troops are also 'the people' in some respects. Also scary in that the government is voted in 'democratically', so how would they have the right to set the army on us? Couldn't we, actually, set the army on them?

You think? there's nothing at all true about it? If you were to describe the American model of capitalism saying that all the money and power rests with a tiny minority and there is a mass underclass in poverty with no way out - sounds pretty descriptive to me.

Because when things get so Bad, you will Beg the Army to come and save you

They will wait 3 months, the Riots and Looting will get worse.

Problem, Reaction, Solution

Create the Problem, Get a reaction, Have the Solution to the Problem.

Oh deary deary me.

Generali

The article is just supposition. There is no overarching theory on which the ideas hang. It basically says, 'Things are bad, they're gonna get worse therefore America will end up as a totalitarian state'.

It's rubbish. And yeah, I know, I'm a shill for the Rothschilds and the quasi-totalitarian banking cabal that are secretly rule the world or something.
