Britain's Foreign Office Prepares For Riots In Europe; Sees Euro Collapse "When, Not If"
so will America be next?
now look what the politicians in Washington are proposing ! ha ha ha I guess nothing should surprise us these days?..... How much more proof do people need to understand the significance of what is going on?
Senators Demand the Military Lock Up American Citizens in a “Battlefield” They Define as Being Right Outside Your Window
" The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world "

This is really a discouraging development. More discouraging than the main news.
yes i agree! actually it's off topic but when I read it I was so horrified I just posted immediately! Bloody John McCain if ever there was a wolf in sheep's clothing it is him!
What about the other stupids who are ready to pass the bill? I'm losing my faith that the government can do anything good for the people. We must propagate the message below to protect our Republic:

I don't know what else we can do.
well for a start everyone should be contacting their congressman and Senator to confront them about this issue and at least try to get it featured on the mainstream media
Oppose Indefinite Military Detention: NDAA convenient & easy. Go to ACLU website. Second story in "Our Work: News & Updates", open the story and there will be a link in second paragraph "Senators need to hear from you", and follow the instructions. Takes only a few seconds.
Make sure that you say yes to the Udall amendment. Please read below.
But there is a way to stop this dangerous legislation. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) is offering the Udall Amendment that will delete the harmful provisions and replace them with a requirement for an orderly Congressional review of detention power. The Udall Amendment will make sure that the bill matches up with American values.
Wow, all hell is going to break loose. This is why over here in the states they are trying to pass that fascist bill. They know that there will be an uprising over here as well and they want to get past pesky things like the Miranda rights and the constitutional rights of Americans.
You know I really wish I wasn't living in the time I am living in. What a nightmare! I feel bad that all this is going on. All I can say is prepare yourself the best you can. Things will get ugly.
Hi Scout, Agree. A few rich people at the top have everything, and billions of people at the bottom with nothing to lose. 1% does not get it, as they have a "tiger by the tail". Best Regards, Nevada
if the euro collapses- "there will not be riots" they can manage riots. it will be far worse then violent riots-- it will be organized non violent resistance--- http://vgdhi.cjb.net

I disagree! what do 45 million hungry people do when the government can no longer gives them food stamps to keep their stomachs full?hungry people will not be in the mood for non violent resistance.....
No we will not be next. Why? Because we are not a nanny state. There are forces in the United States that are trying to take us to that status, but we are not close to being Europe. Riots here will be met with massive forceful opposition from the police and the public.
People here will not stand for a bunch of silly kids tearing up the place.
hello hello ? Wake up and smell the coffee! You don't call 45 million people on food stamps being a nanny state? And what about these people:-

get real!
I already acknowledged that forces are there. They have not come to take our guns. I think you understand what I am talking about. Notice any difference when we protest opposed to other places in the World - particularly Europe? England protests and soon every city is burning. That's the outcome of anti capitalism and anti nationalism. Weakness and despair. Fear and chaos.
America always has had the correct system. Going backwards in time to failed systems would be most unintelligent thing we could do.
keep dreaming! it will be even worse in America - the country with the highest rates of personal gun ownership in the world! will bet all the money and gold I have that violence and riots will arrive in USA. US dollar is becoming more like Monopoly money every day and when there is no more money left to give those 45 million people who currently rely on food stamps just to survive, I don't think they will be particularly patient on empty stomachs.
Agree. A hungry person is a dangerous thing.
The riots will not be wide spread. They will be confined to liberal enclaves like Oakland and NYC. The interior goes by a different beat. It tickles me when I hear someone say this when I know they have lived a urban lifestyle their entire existence.
Arab spring and ows type of movements will take advantage of the situation and using non violent direct action - remove the corruption from those systems of government - replacing them with democratic systems.
You just keep thinking that.
LOL !!!

Are you hoping for it? Or just wondering?
yes
You're hoping for which one, the riots or the failure of the euro? And why? Just curious, I'd like to add my two cents.
whichever one you prefer
Funny. But you still didn't tell me why. I'll throw my two cents in anyway. Personally I hope the euro fails. It's my belief it was more of a dry-run to test the feasibility of a one-world currency more than the publicly stated reason, which was to promote economic stability in Europe. I'm dead-set against the idea of a one-world currency. I figure if they can't make it work in Europe, they'll find it much harder if not impossible to implement worldwide.
it's not that simple. Think of US being 50 different states with their borders and different currencies (that would require bank fees for every inter-state transaction). How much more would you in NYC pay for the oranges from (the state of) Florida or for the wine from (the state of) California?
Good point. Is that how it was in Europe before the eurozone, as far as extra fees for inter-country transactions? I don't know too much about economics and knew my oversimplification may have been a bit off target. I do wonder about the dry-run aspect of it though. The euro as an accounting tool was started in Jan 1999. Graham-Leach-Bliley was passed in Nov of the same year. Could be unrelated but it makes me wonder whether the euro was for stability reasons only or part of a bigger plan. Hell, it could've been both, those mega-banksters are often intelligent, creative and long-term planning individuals.
sorry gnomunny I was distracted on another thread. Yes I'm like you I think it was a bad experiment from day one and it won't be as bad for individual countries like Greece as the European politicians are making it out to be.
I agree. I hope Greece bails. They got seriously screwed, especially by Goldman Sachs. The banksters will do everything possible to hold it all together though. I hope they fail.
Goldman Sachs. I'm so tired of hearing the name these people. it's like some gigantic corporation in one of these futuristic films where everyone ultimately works for that one company in one way or another.
I know the feeling. I'm sick of hearing their name in practically every article I've read in the past month about this economic crisis we find ourselves in. They're EVERYWHERE. I think Jesse Ventura was right when he said Goldman Sachs runs the world. It's disturbing when one company has that much power and influence.
they even financed Obama's election campaign didn't they in 2008?
I believe they did give a healthy chunk (payoff) to his campaign. It's no secret whose side he's really on.
