I beg you, please listen to the second speaker, Gerald Celente, about 1/3 through this program. Listen to how describes the rip off by Government Sachs and what he calls it... what it really is... FASCISM.
Gerald Celente is a massive favorite of the doom and gloom peak oil set, and I have a great deal of respect for his analytical capacities, though he is more pessimistic than I am. What he is saying is EXACTLY what I have been saying to the American Left for years... That the Left is an unwitting DUPE aiding and abetting the Fascists.
Please, give a listen to Celente.

If government mandate collapses (because the population no longer recognises it's authority)then it'll be both fascism and anarchy - primarily fascism in the cities where the rule of 'law' will be imposed by the army. But when law breaks down in the country the government will abandon it to anarchy - too hard to impose order.
That pattern has played out in Europe through big and small wars, and is still happening in Africa.
Libertarianism doesn't happen because everyone is too scared. More 'law of the jungle' than 'everyone doing their thing in peace and harmony'
BTW, lots of people LIKE fascism! It feels safe and is good for business!
You guys really have WAY too much faith in this government (of which I am a part of) to successfully form and run a police state, given that all the baby boomers in the (Federal) government that are running for the doors towards retirement (4 in my office of 12 alone), a military exhausted from the Iraq/Afghan escapades, and the U.S. kids who have absolutely no idea how to do anything on their own, like running a country. I'm just going to sit back and laugh as you people portray us as the competent Hitlerites that we just AINT! We got lots of cheap food, lots of energy, and lots of dupes willing to buy our bonds. Relax, gentlemen. Have a beer.
Is that supposed to be reassuring?? ;-)
Ron Paul was quoted from an appearance on Fox News Sunday in which he cited Sinclair Lewis in saying,
“It reminds me of what Sinclair Lewis once said. He says, ‘when fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross.’
A prescient man, Lewis.
Hey Bureaucrat,
When I suggested that government is ultimately more responsible to a well armed populace, you responded by saying that the privately owned weapons were nothing compared to the power of the US military. WHICH IS IT??

I'm willing to reconsider :) However, I'm also watching a 3 hour movie on Che Guevara, who helped Fidel Castro take over Cuba. While 350 million guns in America will make it tough for the government here to run an effective police state (which will never happen, by the way), it's easy to see that Castro's rag-tag barely-trained "farmers Army" was no match for Batista's planes and trucks in the beginning. Well, the U.S. was founded by a bunch of terrorists and guerilla warfare advocates who defeated the most powerful military in the world (the British) at that time. So who knows?
