Many of those folks are the financial rapists of the USA. Thieves..

Damn skippy... there is trouble brewing and many hard feelings against them and their ilk. The American people are filling with rage against the violations from the government and "too big to fail" companies who are raping them right and left. It took roughly 30 years of violations and being ignored by the government for the Revolutionary War to hit, If you go back to Waco and Ruby Ridge, we've had about 16 (and yes, I'm counting the Patriot Act and the abuses of the Bush years in there too), and people are getting fed up. The people are sitting on a tinderbox having a gasoline fight and playing with matches, all it will take is something to spark it, and if they don't clamp down hard enough to stave off more unrest, it will explode on them in ways they can't understand.

That's one reason I believe Obama has called for a civilian defense force equal to the military in training and equipment... I think he knows the military won't stand with him when the time comes...

What will happen, will happen.

All anyone can do is prepare themselves.

How old (young) is the internet economy? How old are markets driven by mutual funds and easily accessable computerized global indexes? So much has changed and is new in the last 15-30 years, it's much to soon to predict our full potential.

If humanity doesnt stop this self destructive behavior, we will never know our full potential.

They think a populist uprising is coming?! wow. Guess we better get Rifles then..

Don't laugh Z man I've been advising folks here for years to invest in whiskey, bullets, and gold. But then I've been looked at as a wacko rightwinger... LMAO.

If the articles are even close and Saks folks are arming themselves then it would be wise to do so yourselves. If Saks is the ones leading this whole mess then it's in your best interest to do what they do. Just rmemeber there is a name for anyone unarmed... targets. If an uprising happens I've said this many times before, the blood will run in the streets of the USA. To many greedy selfcentered lowlifes, especialy in the major cities. The rest of us won't have to worry until they try to come out into the country looking for food... well we still won't have to worry, they will. Most of us grew up shooting, 2 shots center mass is what we do naturaly.
