If OWS gets out of control, are you prepared?
I am not saying OWS will lead to a revolution (that would f'ing suck!), but I do think we need to be prepared for the possibility that it does. To get a sense of what to expect, simply look at what happened in Egypt this year.

This is what happened in Egypt in just 18 days:

1. Everything begins when the protesters start to clash with police. This has already begun with OWS, but not at a significant scale yet. Once the police move in to fully disperse the protesters (which will inevitably happen), they will shut down internet/mobile access.

2. Then curfews were implemented followed by shows of force ... Egypt moved in its military forces and flew F-16s over protesters in a show of force.

3. Then the violence began ... First there were clashes between pro-Mubarak and anti-Mubarak groups. Then there were clashes between government security forces and protesters!

4. Then the government fell and was replaced with something worse ... Mubarak announced he was ceding his powers to Suleiman, but that only incited the protesters further. Mubarak then resigned and the Supreme Council of Egyptian Armed Forces assumed leadership of the country.

In addition, normal life's conveniences (that we all take for granted) came to a stop during this period. There was a disruption in access to food, interruptions in utilities and other services, and all schools were closed.

There was also a massive increase in crime from looting of museums and stores, vandalizing of property, robbery, and gang raping of women in public!

I'm not saying a so-called "non-violent" revolution by the international socialists in the US would happen exactly the same way or in the same amount of time as it did in Egypt, but it is important that we be prepared that this thing gets ugly.

* You need to ensure your family has walkie talkies for communication, just in case.
* You need to make sure you have cash, just in case.
* You need to have weapons to protect your family, just in case.
* You need to determine which of your friends and family you can trust, just in case.
* If you live near the protests, you need to arrange to stay with a trustworthy friend or family member away from that area, just in case.
* You need to have a copy of the Constitution and the declaration of independence, just in case.

OWS is the revolution that is backed, funded and supported by the very banks and government they are protesting. Its presence in European countries indicate that it is indeed the global NWO revolutionary movement.

They will try to overthrow the government and institute the NWO here.

The question becomes - will the military support them? And can they suppress 80 million gun owners? We'll see.

The problem is some of those 80 million gun owners are with the protesters. Obviously, there aren't millions of them with them, but they are friends and family of the gun owners too. Would you shoot your brother, sister, uncle, or friend just because they are stupid enough to fall for the OWS mindless collectivist crap?

I'm fully aware of the CANVAS, Soros, et al involvement. That's been well-covered on GLP. I'm just making this thread to encourage people to prepare for the worst.

I guess I need to remember the second rule more often. So much for good intentions ...

Sir,

Where are these protests occurring? In the bluest of blue States and Cities. In areas with gun control laws. In areas run by Progressive Democrats for decades. In areas where the most concentration of wealth in the nation is. And all of which government's are operating heavily in the red, due to the amount of money those communities are pissing away to "buy" and coddle dependecy.

My question to the OWS crowd calling for more Progressive or Socialist solutions to the problem is...if the above is all true, and it is...then why is there such a disparity in wealth distribution, high crime, high illegitimacy and dropout rates, ect in those areas? I mean to me it’s a total 2+2=4 equation that no one will answer.

The truth is, both sides have been playing each other and against the middle. Wall Street and Banksters own the politicians through a combination of neglectful citizens returning the same dolts election after election, corporate cronyism, and globalism. The politicians set the rules in place for what is occurring to happen. They made the "free trade" deals, they bailed out the "too big to fail" banks and corporations, they write the tax legislation that provides loopholes and write offs, they don’t enforce border security so they can have cheaper labor in the US...and on and on and on.

This is why I believe the OWS anger is misplaced and they are being used by TPTB to transform the US into something else. Something bad. Something that will consolidate power to a few, to include wealth, while at the same time lowering the standard of living for the rest of us, and our ability to achieve higher goals.

We dont need Socialism. We need to return to Constitutional principals. We need to have a fair tax system, be it the flat tax or the fair tax. We need term limits. We need to revamp the safety net to take care of the needy, but push the abled bodied off into productivity. We need to return industry and manufacturing jobs back to US shores. And more over, we need to END the indoctrination going on in the Public School and secondary education systems and political correctness that has devestated the family, community, and country. Give these kids an education...math, science, literature, computers. Not politically correct talking points. We are being dumbed down for a reason....think about it.

Just my 2¢

because I want to hear comments. I have made these statements on other threads, and other than the occassional AC tongue lashing and shillary, never got a response of debate on these points. Thinking about spending the karma to pin this.

Many good points in your post. It did indeed begin in the bluest of blue states and cities; that said, it has even spread to Phoenix, AZ, a red city.

A lot of the money of Wall Street that went to Obama has now shifted to Romney, so it is clear that a power shift back to the GOP has begun ... assuming all you need to do is follow the money. I for one prefer Ron Paul over Romney, but in the end, I agree with you that both sides (blue and red) are to blame for the mess we are in now.

Just today, Romney attacked Obama for the announcement of the withdrawal from Iraq. As a Ron Paul supporter, I actually think this is a good thing to leave Iraq. I actually find Romney's attack alarming. Romney is just playing Mr. Opposite to Obama to set himself apart from the other GOP candidates. All he did is reveal that he is simply another money-loving politician who won't change the status quo. He is no different from the neo-conservatives that got us in Iraq in the first place.

The BS games just continue on and on.
