MSM finally getting around to 'validating' this report??? I remember reading about this and having a discussion here about it, a month ago. ;)

Its like this guy knows nothing about America. The US is not the Soviet Union, it has no reason to break apart.

Sounds like a mirror from the 1980's CIA reports about the WARSAW PACT and SOVIET UNION.

Way Off... this government that manages on the state of paranoia every single day, they will never let it break up. Anyway, there's way too many classified contingency plans in place.


... of course the American people will suffer.

So only Soviet Union-like countries break up?

Maybe this is the fear we need to force the end of the Federal Reserve?

Secession movements are real, who knows how they will play out.

Seems very unlikely. People in the U.S. don't think of themselves as being residents of states, but as residents of the U.S. Not enough people even know how to stage a successful secession. And since federal law overrules state law all the time, it may as well be one big state. It will not break apart.

In the 1860's, when we had a weak federal government, the feds went to extraordinary lengths to prevent a breakup. Now that we have an extremely strong, and brutal, federal government, there will be no limit on the level of force used against anything or anyone who threatens the power of the federal government.

I'm afraid that trouble is coming and the result will be bloody.

That may very well end up being the case.

However, the Red Army and the Kremlin machine was a pretty awesome and mighty engine of destruction as well.

It fell apart overnight, with very little warning, because it went broke.

The fedgov is on the same road.

An E-5, making maybe $2200 a month, in hyperinflated FRNs, is going to do the same thing they did in the Red Army.

Go home.

May be the cryptocracy plan--two pieces first with capitals in Atlanta and Denver, split by the NAFTA superhighway (interesting barrier, huh?), later will be partitioned into 12 districts similar to the current Fed when the final control grid goes into place.

The Soviet Union was made up of weak, artificial ties enforced by a military power.

Exactly. States have become nothing more than glorified postal codes.
