Re: Mike Ruppert speaks of civil war!
A civil conflict means cessation of cable, big box retailers, regular trash collection and consistent water and electricity. And people tend to die from gangland-style crossfire while waiting in line for food. Most U.S. folks living in the wide sprawls of the metroplexes couldn't survive long without any of those asepcts of civilization. It's good for Baghdad, but not for Deer Run Estates. A violent civil conflict will arise only when enough people are frustrated enough that their normal course of living is disrupted. As is stated in the Declaration:
"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
So people are willing to put up with a tremendous amount of annoyance, inconvenience and general distress before they go into the streets. The discussion of 1861-1865 took decades to occur; a long sputtering fuse that would go out, get re-lit, somebody would stomp on it, then somebody would knock that person off, and so the flickering catastrophe inducing fire ran to a massive powderkeg that when it blew killed more than 600,000 people.
Don't worry folks. If we don't off ourselves, avian flu awaits in the wings. Happy 4th of July!--HEK
