By now is becoming clear to more and more people that Wall Street bankers, the corporations they represent, and their enablers in government perpetrated a scam on the American people (and the world) by looting trillions of dollars with elaborate Ponzi schemes.
This of course plunged the country into the Great Recession we are experiencing right now.
As more people are becoming aware of this con job, they are starting to figure out that something is terribly wrong, and are beginning to get more actively involved in social and political activities focused on addressing the corruption that brought us to where we are today.
I recently learned about the great job Van Jones is doing with the Rebuild the Dream campaign, which calls for a nationwide unified front against what he calls is "the wrecking ball" that's being used to destroy the middle class structure. I encourage everybody to visit their Website, and sign up for upcoming meetings... I did.
However, I'm concerned that as people are starting to wake up to what's going on, we are going to be two or three steps behind the repressive machine that's in place.
My thesis is that we are in for another "shock-doctrine" type event, as follows:
The fix is in. The people running the show already know that the economy is going to collapse big time, and they are going to use this phony issue of the "debt ceiling" as a pretext.
Of course, this was already in the plan, just like the events that led to the 2008 crash. This time (this third "shock-doctrine" event), the objective is to consolidate power and finalize the final takeover of the country. Some sort of (sophisticated) Coup d'etat.
As soon as the next major crisis happens, all the fascistic infrastructure that has been put in place will be quickly deployed. We're talking about the use of laws against "terrorism" being used against American citizens, the infiltration of peaceful protest groups, the detention (and/or harassment) of activists, intellectuals, and journalists.
Even groups like "Rebuild the Dream" are going to be caught off-guard, and may not be prepared to handle the situation.
In the meantime an army of "Orcs" (as it were) has been put in place and ready to be activated by the Neo-fascist regime that's getting ready to take full control.
This informal paramilitary army is composed of the millions and millions of gun-nuts that have been manipulated and filled with rage and hate, who hold end-of-days messianic beliefs, and are under the control of the astro-turf "grass roots" campaigns spearheaded by corporatist cartels.
It's easy to "activate" these people. The "dog whistle" message will include a combination of holy duty (bringing in the religious fanatics), racism, ethnocentrism, and a cognitive link between what they perceive to be "socialism", and ungodliness, and the imposition of a corrupt secular (godless) society.
And guess who their target will be: YOU. It will be the intellectuals, and the artists, and the writers, and the liberals and progressives, because in their view those are the people who are bringing about a godless secular society.
Anyways, these people are already in place and ready to be deployed.
They serve as another shield of defense for the Neo-fascist sociopaths that are successfully putting everything in place for the final takeover.
So between the draconian legislative steps taken during the last decade to dismantle many constitutional protections, the complete control of the mainstream media infrastructure (use as a the most powerful propaganda machine in history), and the Orwellian surveillance system that has been put in place, all the pieces are ready for deployment.
All it's needed is the next "Shock" which I believe will happen before the 2012 election.
My suggestion is that people start thinking about getting mentally ready for the possibility of this scenario happening (I hope it doesn't). Also, there should be some discussion on the concepts of communes, collectives, and organizing under this kind of extreme conditions. My concern is that many of the groups that are doing a great job to try to wake people up, to engage in confronting the corruption in the system, may be caught off-guard and may not have a plan to deal with a more extreme situation (as the one I hypothesize about here).
I did watch "Rebuild the Dream" Van Jones' presentation, and it gives me great hope that finally people are beginning to wake up, and are ready to join a nation-wide movement. I'm very impressed by what Van Jones is doing...
