Ok, maybe it is just dreaming on my part but there is one tiny tinny difference - the military and the 'militia' are not beholden to the gov or the banks or the multinationals. I do not expect the military to ever turn on the American people but it might turn on a government that thinks it should.
The military and the police know something our wannabe overlords seem to forget except when it is scare mongering politics time: the rabble will not be taking to the streets with baseball bats and Molotov cocktails - we are armed to the teeth.
I do agree that it is very bad - the question is not is the shoe going to drop, it has - we are just waiting for it to hit - the question is, how big is the shoe?
In the end, I keep thinking about Japan on Dec 8th, 1941....worrying about having woken a sleeping giant. Over the last year....the giant has been stirring again and this time, cleaning house is on the agenda....
My guess is that most of the military won't turn on the people, but may at first thinking along the lines of isolated emergency (think Kent State). The police on hand, I believe most will fight for the State regardless of the reality of what's going on.
You ever notice how much more militarized the police have been getting over the years? Some departments have tanks! Why? What are they preparing for?
I don't think anyone can predict exactly what will happen as the economies of the world crumble, but no matter what, I'm afraid it's gonna get ugly.
