Though our leaders promised us that the economy would improve, it is now an incontrovertible fact that we have been deceived by the Wall-Street-backed-charlatans in Congress. Obviously, sacrifice was necessary during WWI and WWII in order to defeat a ruthless enemy who would have taken every inch should the nation not have been willing to sacrifice a great deal of blood. During the Cold War, we faced an existential, mortal threat in the form of a nuclear-armed superpower with Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. However, today's contrived war on terror represents an existential threat only to a certain elite: the oilmen, their bankers, and their Gulf States cheerleaders.
Over the past couple of years, other corporate interests have been using political proxies to appropriate America's food supply. The grip that Monsanto has on Obama's cabinet is comparable to the grip that Halliburton had on Cheney'sBush's cabinet. The oil interests that led us into a brutal quagmire in Iraq are also willing to lead us into a brutal quagmire in the homeland. To consolidate America's entire food supply, a civil war is necessary.
Today, there are 47 million Americans receiving food stamps; there were almost half as many back in 2006. The coming economic collapse may mean that almost 100 million Americans will find themselves relying on the government for food. During the Great Depression, the unemployment rate was 25-33%, and many of those individuals would eventually muster the courage to be seen on a breadline. The breadline has been replaced by food stamps, but a continuation of our current political impasse means that the lifeline keeping 1/6th of the population afloat could be cut short.
According to a source, a scenario has been drawn up by DHS in the event that Americans should go without food stamps for an extended number of weeks. The very real possibility exists that DHS will be called in to quell food riots much like during the Great Depression: "Food riots began to break out in parts of the U.S. In Minneapolis, several
hundred men and women smashed the windows of a grocery market and made off with
fruit, canned goods, bacon, and ham. One of the store's owners pulled out a gun
to stop the looters, but was leapt upon and had his arm broken. The riot was
brought under control by 100 policemen."
Since the Depression, the United States police has become militarized, with the rise of what The Wall Street Journal dubbed: The Warrior Cop. These police officers have been trained not in community policing, but in counterinsurgency and counterterrorism, with many gaining experience in the theaters of Afghanistan and Iraq. Once the food riots start, the response will be ruthless, and American blood will flow through the streets, much the same way that Iraq has been awash.
