It's really crazy that this has become so mainstream — and yet people seem unconcerned. How is that possible? Are people really that ignorant of history? Troops on the streets has never been a good thing.

This is nothing new either, it's just becoming more mainstream. Have you seen any of the films in the Police State series Ethan?

No I have not seen any of those films. Honestly I wasn't much worried about that kind of thing until recently. I always thought that the military would never turn against its own people. But after listening to Ron Paul talk about the universal soldier and coming to an understanding that an anger teenager or twenty-something with no prospects of a job or normal life will do anything he is told in order to feed himself or his family. I am now afraid of what might happen if the American people do not start understanding the consequences of sitting idly by while other people shape their destinies.

I just heard that 60% of Americans oppose an Auto bailout and 75% opposed the original bailout bill, which by the way was used by Paulson to do something completely different. If the environment isn't becoming ripe for a coupe, insurection, or simply intense demands by the people, then I don't know if it ever will. How much longer can the government go on defying the will of the people without that threat becoming a reality?

They are scared of us as people fighting back is what. The government even with money is like one of your friends who you lend money to but never ever pays you back but only with the government it is 100 years plus that they don't. It is time to fire government from even being involved with our creation of money at all since they have proven to be lackluster plus our times show that government being our “savior” is really not working out for us after all as people.

People wrongfully assume in times of danger that government will save them but in fact historically usually turns on them
