Yea Jesus how hard is it to shut up and let someone else get a a whole sentence in. This is the reason i can't listen to AJ for any extended length of time.

Whoa...

creepy

[tod evans]

Good on Mr.Rhodes.

Maybe bordering on slightly alarmist?

I am an OathKeeper, but this may be premature...

They risk marginalizing the group with the forming of "Special Forces Squads" across the US.

The name may be a bit overboard but the idea of neighbors getting together and talking, even making contingency plans, is sound.

I don't see what this can hurt.

Agreed. I was referring to the "collapse is iminent" rhetoric in the article. THeir "panel" says 3-4 months and our "enemies" will destroy the republic by causing an economic disaster. Absent some intelligence that escapes us common-folk, the "tea reading / collapse" crap is getting old. I'm all about prepping and think this is a good idea, but without the alarmism.

I read the Oath Keeper's blog page - I didn't watch the YouTube vid.

I think preparedness training is always a good thing. Kudos to them for pushing the issue with an action plan.

It's sobering to read why the sudden impetus though. Most us "know" it's coming eventually, but no one wants to actually see it closer than the horizon.

Well shit on me.... I just found this article:

James Rickards, a top adviser for the Pentagon and CIA, is sounding the alarm that America is on the brink of a global “financial war.”


During James Rickards’ testimony in from of the Treasury, he unapologetically stated: “Ben Bernanke is more dangerous than al-Qaida.” See More Clips, Click Here

“Rival nations and terrorist organizations are developing capabilities in unconventional warfare,” Rickards commented in a Newsmax interview. “Things like cyber warfare, biological or chemical warfare, and now, financial weapons of mass destruction.”

And this “financial war” is a battle America isn’t prepared to win.

Rickards believes that as this conflict escalates, it will “cause oil to skyrocket above $190 a barrel, gold to surge to $3,000 an ounce, and, in its aftermath, it could completely decimate the wealth of millions.”

Rickards’ assessment is not one to be taken lightly. The first two “financial wars” he refers to in the interview led to World War II and the economic stagflation of the late 1970s.

And unfortunately, Rickards isn’t alone in his assessment.

MSN Money commented, “The end game for all this . . . is higher inflation combined with economic stagnation,” and The Financial Times reported that “Japan may have fired the first shot.”

The Voice of Russia warned, “Russia is getting ready to defend itself in the global financial war which is going to break out in the near future.”

So What Exactly Is This ‘Financial War?’

It’s a battle over money . . . also known as a “Currency War.”

In an ironic twist, political figures of each country are trying to depreciate their own currency. In theory, this strategy will give a short-term boost to their own economy, while handicapping foreign countries.

But there are several flaws in this line of thinking.

“The problem is that everybody can't play the depreciation game at the same time: One country's advantage is the others' disadvantage,” according to US News & World Report.

Essentially, currencies around the world — dollars, yen, and pounds — are losing their purchasing power.

We all know this as inflation. In normal times, inflation runs around 3%. But if a currency war erupts, it could easily run at 10% to 50% per year.

Should You Be Worried?

Absolutely.

When a country intentionally tries to devalue its own currency, the very money in one’s bank account loses purchasing power.

Gas prices soar. Groceries get more expensive. And utility bills climb higher every month.

“The real losers in all of this are the innocent civilians,” said Aaron DeHoog, the Financial Publisher of Newsmax Media. “Those who are investing ‘safely’ could lose as much as 50% of their wealth if things get out of control.”

DeHoog should know.

He commissioned his own currency war investigation. In it, his team interviewed Steve Forbes and James Rickards, intercepted cables from China, and even got access to a warfare analysis laboratory in D.C.

Maybe he knows something you don't.

You know what is creepier? Militarized Police with armored cars, tanks and automatic weapons.

You silly alarmist don't you know it's for the children?

That was intentional, wasn't it. Not citizens, not people, civilians. Sad...but true. Sounds like North Korea for all.
