The First group Are religious types who are content. They believe the world is coming to an end and the whole earth is going to burn, but they are saved and will be whisked away before all the bad stuff starts to happen. The Second Group Are completely oblivious and as long as they have there material junk and free handouts they question nothing. The Third Group Are those who want chaos and destruction because it gives them a reason to rape, kill and steal. They did not buy a gun so it could set on a shelf or in the closet. |

User ID: 38234648 United States 06/15/2015 09:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This was all foreshadowed in the 1976 film "Network". For those who have not seen it, it is MUST see!! Howard Beale: I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' "Government is NOT reason; it is NOT eloquent; it is FORCE. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master". George Washington |

Pull the plug and many wouldn't make it through the summer heat. Remember the EMP thing? What better way to get a State to comply to demands, if you could threaten a city with an EMP. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 68897468 United States 06/15/2015 09:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've come to the conclusion that trying to "open the eyes" of ANYONE else is fruitless. Yes, they either think your crazy OR, I'm suspecting that they are subconsciously "filing it away for future reference". I've also determined that I'm functioning much better by keeping EVERYTHING to myself, staying low, keeping my mouth shut and keeping my eyes open and "scanning" everything in front of me. I'm confident that I have a good handle on my affairs and the less anyone knows about it the better. Just drifting with the prevailing breeze, so to speak. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 14984324 United States 06/15/2015 11:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I see fairly clearly exactly what's happening, but I don't see a reasonable reaction. What can an individual do that will cause positive change? What will influence the brain-dead majority that either can't or refuse to see? When they did see, what should they do? We know that talking, voting, visiting politicians, etc., seem to do nothing positive, and all that's really left is violence. In between, we can refuse to participate, but that requires more than one individual. |
