America's economy is hurting; you don't see it on TV because the media reports on the wealth generation by the top 10%, but the other 90% of us are struggling and slowly sinking.
Meanwhile the banksters are creating so much debt in an effort to keep the American economy from sliding off the cliff that the only way to balance the books will be inflation, whether we like it or not.
When this bad news hits the economy, there will be massive job losses and other hardship.
This will feed the fascist fires, just like German hyperinflation did during the Weimar Republic era just before the Nazi Party gained power.
We already have by far the world's biggest military, the largest stockpile of nukes, human history's biggest military budget and many powerful interests urging us to continue and expand our course of imperialism around the world.
Halfway through 2017, the United States has already conducted military operations including covert ops in 137 of the world's 196 countries.
Things will get worse before they get better. There is a strong Progressive Movement in America today that represents the will of the People but it's not well organized and there is a long history of the CIA, FBI, NSA and other Federal Government agencies actively suppressing and disrupting legitimate citizen initiatives. In addition, the right wing will see this as a direct threat to their interests and can be counted upon to react strongly, by any means necessary both fair and foul.
I do not want to see violence, I do not want to see civil war, and I want to see Americans resolve their differences peacefully. However, I think the time for nonviolent options is slipping away as those on the extreme right see that the use of force will continue to pay dividends for their cause.
In other words, I fear that blood in American streets and the Fascist takeover of our 'free country' is all but inevitable. The enemy is those who would use the vast power of our Federal Government AGAINST the rest of the people, not necessarily the Federal Government itself. A subtle difference rendered meaningless when those beating and killing innocent civilians in the streets and in their homes are wearing uniforms issued by Federal Government agencies.
This is an existential threat to everything America stands for. If you, dear reader, aren't scared, it's only because you don't see what's happening.
