Chain-Reaction Revolution: How Government Blunders May Trigger Mass Unrest
http://stratrisks.com/geostrat/1533

Excerpt:

I may have forgotten much from my high school and college days but I do remember how a chemical chain-reaction works. The cause, effect and eventual aftermath can be reproduced not only in a science class but in our own backyards. The colour revolutions and mass Arab movements have shown that known and unknown variables can cause major shifts in any stable nation. Let’s find those root causes which bring about such turmoil. That instability sends shock waves around the world and strikes fear in the hearts of government bureaucrats and citizens alike.

Variable 1.) Volatile Economies

There has been far too little guidance from administrations when it comes to our fluctuating economies. They are in place to uphold the status quo, even if that may be a pipe dream. The governmental bean counters and economists have not provided any rational explanations to calm the populace during this colossal economic catastrophe. We have seen the stock market falter, the housing market bubble burst, erosion of the middle-class and crushing debt which burdens us all. What we need is not a speech or a pep rally. What we really need are clearly defined economic goals, tougher rules on risky investment bankers and enforcement on speculators who have turned their business into a political weapon. Most officials won’t have the clout or will to make the changes necessary to get their houses in order.

1. From my discussions with people,
it has come to my attention that we would need to be very careful about falling prey to a manufactured revolution, not like that is anything new.

If they could pull-off the Tea Party to preempt a potential grass roots movement and control it, it seems just as likely that we could find ourselves in an artificial revolution with a predetermined outcome.

There may likely be a boiling over point coming and it is even expected by the PTB, (as per Army reports, etc.) so, considering how capitalistic and corporatist the Ruling Class is, there may be a shock and awe opportunity available even in revolution. Maybe one that is the mother of them all.

3. Obama was our "manufacured revolution" Democratic party Style
More obvious, mask-off Fascism will be the Tea Party alternative.
