Get ready for it: Another economic collapse is coming.

[woo me with science]

39. Good post. The one percent use these crises.

Wars can be waged economically and militarily, and we are seeing a ramping up of both to create the crises they need for major structural change.

They are not just after short-term gain from collecting debts or building weapons. World wars and financial collapse are all about consolidating political and financial power for the one percent. They are about driving entire nations into debt, restructuring political systems to assume control of nations and global resources, and subjugating a global workforce. Note that all seriously considered proposals for managing the debt crisis in Europe have involved nations' relinquishing more of their self-governance to global, corporate control.

Austerity is coming to America, too. And we are seeing a rapid, sustained, and multifocused effort to militarize our police forces, increase government control of the Internet, and increase general surveillance and control of Americans in advance of any resistance we decide to put forth to the major changes in store.
