Civil War 2: The economic imperative for mass social unrest

Every indication clearly suggests that authorities in the United
States are preparing for widespread civil unrest. This trend has not emerged by
accident – it is part of a tried and tested method used by the banking elite to
seize control of nations, strip them of their assets, and absorb them into the
new world order.
There is a crucial economic imperative as to why the elite is
seeking to engineer and exploit social unrest.
As respected investigative reporter Greg Palast exposed in 2001, the global banking elite,
namely the World Bank and the IMF, have honed a technique that has allowed them
to asset-strip numerous other countries in the past – that technique has come to
be known at the “IMF riot.”
In April 2001, Palast obtained leaked World Bank documents that
outlined a four step process on how to loot nations of their wealth and
infrastructure, placing control of resources into the hands of the banking
elite.
One of the final steps of the process, the “IMF riot,” detailed
how the elite would plan for mass civil unrest ahead of time that would have the
effect of scaring off investors and causing government bankruptcies.
“This economic arson has its bright side – for foreigners, who can
then pick off remaining assets at fire sale prices,” writes Palast, adding, “A
pattern emerges. There are lots of losers but the clear winners seem to be the
western banks and US Treasury.”
In other words, the banking elite creates the very economic
environment – soaring interest rates, spiraling food prices, poverty, lower
standards of living – that precipitates civil unrest – and then like a vulture
swoops down to devour what remains of the country’s assets on the cheap.
We have already seen this process unfold in places like Bolivia,
Ecuador, Indonesia, Greece and Argentina. Next on the chopping block are Spain,
Italy, Britain and France – all of which have seen widespread riots over the
last two years.
As Ha-Joon Chang explains in the Guardian, the roots of
Europe’s riots were sparked by “governments inflicting an old-IMF-style
programme on their own populations,” namely the same programs of “austerity,
privatisation and deregulation,” that caused the riots of the 80′s and 90′s in
poorer countries.
Although the likes of the IMF and the World Bank have pillaged
half of the globe with their economic terrorism, America remains the ultimate
prize. The first step of the four step process for bankster seizure of a country
– privatization of state-owned assets – is already well under way in America,
with infrastructure being sold off to foreign corporations, with
the aid of Goldman Sachs, at a frightening pace.
A key component of the banking elite’s insidious agenda to bring
about an economic collapse in America by design also centers around the process
of de-industrializing the country, eviscerating the nation’s platform for
self-sufficiency and replacing it with dependence on banker bailouts. This has
already been largely achieved in Europe – with just about every major economy on
the continent run by Goldman Sachs-affiliated technocrats.
In the United States, 32 per cent of manufacturing jobs have been
lost since 2000, while 56,000 manufacturing facilities have been mothballed
since 2001. The Obama administration has also declared war on the coal industry,
with Obama
himself promising to “bankrupt” anyone who tries to build a new coal plant.
Meanwhile, China builds a new coal plant every two weeks.
Given the clear economic motive for stirring unrest in the United
States, we’d expect to see preparations for domestic disorder in numerous
different guises – and indeed the signs are everywhere.
National Defense Authorization Act
The Obama administration’s passage of NDAA legislation that authorizes kidnapping and indefinite
detention without trial of American citizens on U.S. soil serves to create the
framework for mass arrests of protesters and journalists in a time of declared
national emergency.
Obama’s War on Whistleblowers
The Obama administration’s brazen and aggressive prosecution of whistleblowers for divulging government
corruption in the public interest is clearly a device designed to intimidate
whistleblowers from speaking out when the proverbial hits the fan.
Spying on Social Media for Signs of Unrest
The Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies
are actively engaged in spying on social media as well as news
websites to look for reports or comments that “reflect adversely on the U.S.
government and the DHS.” The government is on the lookout for the ‘tipping
point’ when heated online rhetoric spills onto the streets in the form of
unrest.
Building Huge Spy Centers to Track Unrest
The NSA is building the country’s biggest spy center in the
middle of the Utah desert. The purpose of the data facility is to intercept,
“all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails,
cell phone calls, and Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data
trails—parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other
digital “pocket litter.”
By creating a gigantic database of every communication imaginable,
the NSA hopes to monitor and pre-empt the spread of mass civil unrest in
America.
Preparing Drones for Domestic Oppression
Last week, the Justice Department re-affirmed its position that the Obama
administration can use armed drones to assassinate Americans. Under the NDAA,
the whole of the United States has been declared a “battlefield,” meaning that drones may soon be
used to execute American citizens on U.S. soil.
A government that resorts to killing its own citizens without any
legal process whatsoever is clearly a dictatorship engaged in domestic
oppression. The only imaginable scenario under which this program would be
justifiable was if the U.S. was under a state of martial law and the government
was on the verge of collapse.
Preparing for Martial Law
The Department of Homeland Security has purchased over 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition in the last
10 months alone. At the height of combat operations in Iraq, the U.S. Army only
used 5.5 million bullets a month. Why has the DHS stockpiled enough bullets for
a 30 year war if it is not preparing for some form of domestic disorder?
Preparation for martial law can be seen in numerous different
guises, but perhaps the most chilling is a nationwide FEMA program which
is training pastors and other religious representatives to become secret police
enforcers who teach their congregations to “obey the government” in preparation
for the implementation of martial law, property and firearm seizures, mass
vaccination programs and forced relocation.
Characterizing the American People as the New Target of
the War on Terror
The U.S. Army’s Operating Concept 2016-2028 dictates that the
military’s “full spectrum operations” will include “operations within American
borders.” Scenarios where Americans form into militia groups and become
“insurrectionists” as a result of an economic collapse and have to be eliminated
by the U.S. Army have already been mapped out by military planners.
A leaked U.S. Army manual also reveals plans for the
military to carry out “Civil Disturbance Operations” during which troops will be
used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms and even kill Americans on
U.S. soil during mass civil unrest.
The Department of Homeland Security’s ‘See Something, Say
Something’ program habitually portrays middle class Americans as terrorists. In addition,
numerous DHS-funded reports have characterized “liberty lovers” and other constitutionalists
as domestic terrorists.
Every indication presents us with the inescapable reality that the
US government is preparing for mass civil unrest at some point over the next
five to ten years. When we look at the recent history of nations that have
suffered financial collapse, domestic disorder is clearly a key component of a
deliberate agenda on behalf of the banking elite to undermine and loot economies
– confiscating national sovereignty in the process.
In Part 2, we’ll explore why the elite, although keen on provoking
mass social unrest and even civil war, are destined to lose the battle.
