You could see this scenario being prepped for a long time. I watched a video about a yr ago, about the debt. In that video, they said that when tshtf they would all blame the tea partiers and ones looking for real reform. You could see this scenario being prepped for a while now, and now it's playing out.

They want to be able to tell the people that these "extremists" have unfair demands and want to harm the country with their "racist" agenda. It's all bull to place the blame on an entity other than the big political spending machine. Those who can't see that need to open their eyes.
