You have to be prepared for whatever happens. Go buy guns and lots of ammo while you still can.

How about a collection of throwing knives

awfully funny how the alleged author isn't listed on the ako global.

Wow. I remember for years now that Bush was supposed to declare martial law and suspend the constitution. Now we are hearing the same thing with Obama president. So when is this change gonna come?

Prior to this, under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, the U.S. armed forces had been barred from domestic operations, except in specific, limited circumstances. Pentagon officials are now projecting some 20,000 active-duty U.S. troops to be stationed in the United States by 2011.

just one question for some to ponder. how many active duty troops are stationed in the usa already?

They will get around the Posse Comitatus Act by using foreign troops and mercenaries.

Well first of all Posse Comitatus refers to law enforcement type activities... we already have army reserve and active duty soldiers on the homeland defense mission (several thousand). It's called the CCMRF (CBRN Consequence Management Response Force). CBRN stands for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear.

As for active duty troops I'm sure we have a crapload more than 20,000 stationed in CONUS... if I were to make an educated guess it's probably at least 500K (that would include all services).

What and shoot an 18 girl wearing a uniform barely trying to lug a large rifle around? Isn't that shooting at the wrong person if times get that tough? Can think of much better targets, how about the leaders that sent her?

Even dumb in a so-called real war with one naive 18 year old shooting at another 18 year old kid while the leaders are tucked away in their palaces or protected bunkers sipping on tea. But they have to or be shot by their own commanders. Again going back to where 10% of the population controls the other 90%.

If that 18 year old girl is lugging a rifle and was told to shoot at me? Head shot.

If that 18 year old girl is lugging a rifle and was told to shoot at me? Head shot.

"so you shoot women and children? what do you feel when you shoot a woman or a child?"

"recoil, ma'am".

A recent report from the U.S. Army War College discusses the need for the Pentagon to deploy U.S. troops on domestic soil to quell civil unrest as the economic crisis worsens. Titled "Known Unknowns: Unconventional 'Strategic Shocks' in Defense Strategy Development," the document was written by Nathan Freier, a retired army lieutenant colonel who is a professor at the college.

Freier emphasizes that the likeliest and most dangerous "future shocks" are "outside the realm of traditional warfighting." They will be "nonmilitary in origin and character," referring to the resistance the U.S. rulers know is coming by working people as economic and social conditions worsen.

"Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security," the report states. It gives as examples cases of "unforeseen economic collapse, loss of functioning political and legal order, purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency, pervasive public health emergencies," and "catastrophic natural and human disasters."

The report further states, "An American government and defense establishment lulled into complacency by a long-secure domestic order would be forced to rapidly divest some or most external security commitments in order to address rapidly expanding human insecurity at home."

In mid-December International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn warned of economic and social unrest spreading "in various global markets if the financial crisis is not addressed and lower-income households are hurt by credit constraints and rising unemployment," reported the Phoenix Business Journal.
