It's not that I haven't been trying to convince myself that I am wrong, because I have. My "theory " goes something like this. 1) Building bubble, let most of America get in over their heads, then force a financial collapse, that in return affects the global economy (we saw this happen ) 2) Lead us into a false sense of security, i.e. economy is fine and "things are picking up" 3) yet to be see, and I hope it doesn't happen, financial collapse in the US. 4) Then the food riots (can't happen here, read your history books ) which the people whom cannot survive without the government, will be forced to. Which would mean, in order for them to survive they would have to take from those of us who have prepared. That in turn would force us to defend which we have prepared for. 5) Once the ammunition is nearly depleted, that's when the department of Homeland Security would step in. With us (all out of bullets now) (and them fresh with 2.5billon rounds) would force upon us a socialist society where they could do whatever the f**K they want. *** Note to self --one shot, one kill.*** A dark theory? Yes. Not on your mind? No... It is, has been, and will always be about control, no matter what country you live in.
