Ya, the richest 0.01% came through my neighborhood yesterday trying to control everyone but luckily I was at the store.

I was out scuba diving, as instructed!

And if all that don't manage to worry you enough, we seem to have a slight flu pandemic ATM, and people are dying, even some people who had a flu shot. And many states like Texas, do not even require the public reporting of the flu deaths, unless it's a minor. So in many cities, counties and in other states, the health departments are not reporting all the adult flu deaths, or even what type of flu they may have died from, at all.

Don't wake the Sheeple.

 

[SlickSnake]

That's a good catch. It reminded me of this. It's a bit dated, tho. I would think an enterprising soul out there could fairly easily update it so the great hoards of unwashed, sleeping millennial sheeple of this present generation would better relate to it.

Yes, a noted crazy person woke up after stacking his shoes, that sure means a thing.

I hope he was quoting that as a joke. If not, he should probably see a mental health professional immediately.

We are most likely at least 50 years away from a revolution/civil war.
The vast majority of people accept their situation, or, are pacificed and do not attempt not do anything about it.

We are not anywhere close to shit hitting fans. To think that is similar to the people who think jesus will come back tomorrow.

Depends on how long the USD remains the reserve currency. I think 5-10 years on that front. When that ends (inevitable, but timing is impossilbe to predict) things get a lot worse for Americans lifestyles. It remains to be seen if folks will believe government as they are told they are better off while their quality of life deteriorates. Most likely folks will believe authority, it's mainly about perception not reality when I look back through societies that either fail literally or have massive failures of morality and decency.

Doesn't mean there won't be many great women and men doing amazing things, it just means, as we've always known, that there's too many fucking assholes out there.

Hard to see the USD not being the reserve currency in 10 years. I mean the world already has multiple reserve currencies, the dollar is simply the largest. The Euro could compete some but I imagine the fiscal and monetary policy foolishness they have been engaged in recently has made people think twice. Outside of that, who else? China's renminbi? Their currency markets are small, unsophisticated, and tightly controlled by the Chinese government. All that has to change before people would even consider it.

The USD may not always be that currency but there are no clear challengers present right now.

Or, How long before the "Shit Finally Hits the Fan?"

I think you know what I mean based on the sudden rise of the many current violent crime news reports that are being deliberately under reported and mischaracterized and misconstrued by the M.S.M. when they do report on them.

Interesting too, the sudden rise in the number of violent juveniles doing many of the vicious, cold blooded and cowardly attacks, too.

Feel free to elaborate further your opinions beyond just answering the poll dates.

And yet in the real world violent crime in the US is not rising:

"Violent crime in the United States remained close to two-decade lows last year but the murder rate was higher than in virtually all other developed countries, official figures showed Monday.


The Federal Bureau of Investigation said that violent crime inched up 0.7 percent in 2012 from the previous year, while property crime fell by 0.9 percent.


The figures were broadly in line with a decline in crime since 1993. While the annual report did not assess reasons for the trend, experts point to the end of the country’s epidemic of crack use in the early 1990s.


The survey said 14,827 people were murdered last year in the United States, well down from 24,526 in 1993, when the country’s population was smaller.


But the 2012 murder rate — 4.7 murders per 100,000 people — was significantly higher than in most other wealthy nations."

(sorry, forgot to add the link)

So, looks like you need a new indicator other than violent crime.

 

[Victorian Gray]

Yea, all that combined just might blow out a big enough hole causing the ocean to rush in and the Gulf of Mexico to form when the land is blown out and later subsides below sea level. Notice the entire impact crater is no longer even above the surface of the Earth. The ground above it and part of the continental plate must have moved over it after it formed, too.

Obviously the Gulf of Mexico formed a near perfect bowl somehow, and after hundreds of thousands of hurricanes and millions of years later, those enormous impacts only helped to enlarge it and shape it like we see it now. Just look at how much sand just one medium strength hurricane like Sandy buried entire beach houses under just from strong high tides. Now imagine a megatsunami wall of water, sand and rocks possibly several miles high rushing away from the multiple impactors after they struck at an angle. That is, if they hit on water and not on land. If they hit just on land, this could have been what caused the entire Gulf to form in the first place. And since none of us were there, and the geologic record is somewhat incomplete, nobody can say 100% with certainty how it formed.

But please, by all means, don't let that stop any of you from arguing alternate theories. Like the Anunnaki made the Gulf millions of years ago while mining for gold to take back to their home world for their atmosphere because they managed to master space travel but not how to make lead bars into gold bars like the middle age alchemists did.

Alternate theories like this?

"Geologists and other Earth scientists agree in general that the present Gulf of Mexico basin originated in Late Triassic time as the result of rifting within Pangea. The rifting was associated with zones of weakness within Pangea, including sutures where the Laurentia, South American, and African plates collided to create it."

and then:

"In 2002 geologist Michael Stanton published a speculative essay suggesting an impact origin for the Gulf of Mexico at the close of the Permian, which could have caused the Permian–Triassic extinction event.[13] However, Gulf Coast geologists do not regard this hypothesis as having any credibility. Instead they overwhelmingly accept plate tectonics, not an asteroid impact, as having created the Gulf of Mexico as illustrated by papers authored by Kevin Mickus and others.[3][6][10][14] This hypothesis is not to be confused with the Chicxulub Crater, a large impact crater on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula.

And this skewed crime reporting is apparently happening in the largest police department in the country as part of departmental policy.

Of course, all you habitual serial doubters who perpetually claim that anything you don't believe must be a "conspiracy theory" can never be convinced otherwise, even when hearing it from the man himself.

People getting older seem to hate it, but the fact is that the population of the world continues to get smarter, faster, stronger, and better informed with every generation. If you think that people aren't better informed than since the days of 13 television channels (much less 3 channels) you're crazy.

I have some general concern about the impact of technology on the world - specifically how pervasive surveillance could really upset politics in the future - but in general I know I'll reach old age peacefully and without major world calamities kicking off.

In case it hasn't already been pointed out; there wasn't an option for "OP may be bat shit crazy and actually seems to relish and even wants more violence."

Any kind of war with China, either trade or all out war (even a regional conflict) would drive prices up on pretty much everything sheeple buy exported from China within a week. And giant stores like Walmart and Target would begin to run out of nearly everything, including their many Chinese imported foods and beverages, in another week. This would also trigger a massive monetary crises of some sort, too, probably also leading to massive inflation.

That would certainly be a SHTF scenario, if there ever was one.

If He was an alien hybrid clone, it would surely be easy for Him to come back tomorrow. The real problem would be that all the white Christians would suddenly be forced to deal with the fact He was of Middle Eastern descent, and they would naturally reject Him for it. So to that group, their racially biased version of Jesus will obviously never return, since He didn't exist like they envisioned in the first place.

Dee's probably realized his wife or a cleaning lady did that to sweep and mop the floor after Dee's posted his pic. And he was too embarrassed to admit that fact later, naturally.

So, looks like you need a new indicator other than violent crime.

As was pointed out before, a lot of violent crime indicators are not properly reported in the first place, or deliberately skewed and under reported or mischaracterized for a myriad number of reasons, such as to make a large city more appealing to keep and attract business and keep the property values higher.

What about the added violent crime statistics when law enforcement initiates it (like during no knock warrants) when they intentionally brutalize and even murder often innocent people they happen to come across? I would imagine all those violent law enforcement incidents are not going to be added to the local violent crime stats, because then the police and the feds would be actually driving the violent crime stats way up, not down. So you can certainly bet that all those police initiated violent crime stats are not going to be properly reported and mischaracterized.

Since none of us were there, it's all just idle scientific speculation on how it was formed. There has been so much going on geologically and environmentally in the hundreds of millions (or billions) of years since it was formed, that nobody will ever be able to say with certainty what lead to it's formation. Obviously a geologic scientist can't even accurately predict an earthquake or a volcanic eruption, either.

I believe if McCain and later Romney had won we would already be in full revolution with more than half the population in the U.S. wiped out and the fighting still going on.

If Republicans gain control again in 2016 then my above scenario will happen once the tipping point is reached of enough Americans out of work that they can't bunk up with others enough and ready for all out war against the Corporations/Government that put them on the street.

The news "source" it happened to be posted on, should not completely discredit the actual "source" of the story, who happened to be a police officer working on the NY PD. He probably first tried to get his story posted at the NY Times, and they refused it for political reasons. Imagine that.

I'm sure you are also blissfully unaware that the MSM is also completely controlled by a small handful of businesses and owners and it has become mostly a mouthpiece for only politically preapproved propaganda. Or didn't you get the memo to shut your mouth and stop posting that Rupert Murdoch sent you?

That's an interesting perspective, you may be right.

I also think our current Democratic administration is seen as weak on foreign matters, compared with a Republican administration. Which means if a hostile foreign power like China or Russia wants to make waves and try to take over islands and resources they will attempt to make a power grab of some sort sooner rather than later before the Republicans can retake the administration.

While information and access to it might be greater than ever before, it is still tightly controlled by most countries local politics; and newspapers, phones, TV, radio, and the internet can be easily shut off by any country that chooses to do so, for any reason.

And this information explosion also does not automatically guarantee that future generations are going to be more informed or educated because of it, and still be able to process all the information and then come to rational and logical conclusions to be able to properly use it all.

We are already seeing a greater divide than ever before between the haves and the have nots, both economically and technologically, and this gap is still growing. And the larger the gap gets, the harder it is for the impoverished to reach the same level the affluents are at.

And it should be clear by now, that China and Russia's current military belligerency is predicated by a desire to grab more resources, however they can get them. Such as vastly expanding their territorial waters just to claim islands by force that Japan and the Philippines now claim. Remember that China curtailed and stopped exporting most rare earth resources just a few years ago. China has also invested heavily in a lot of African and other third world countries recently, also in an attempt to control and export local resources such as food or mining there.

And these superpower resource grabs effects are not going to be marginalized by an increase in information or education by the impoverished people who are being stolen from, in order to maintain the economic status quo in a different country. All it's going to do is further the resource impoverishment of the struggling economies of the third world countries they are stealing from while making it even harder for them to ever catch up.

[SlickSnake]

In case it hasn't already been pointed out; there wasn't an option for "OP may be bat shit crazy and actually seems to relish and even wants more violence."

So if any opinion don't fit in your highly educated (but severely limited) world view, then it must automatically mean someone else must be bat shit crazy to dare to express it. Right?

And nowhere did I ever express, or relish, the desire for more violence.

And I relish pointing out that you must be bat shit crazy for stating that as a fact.
