The coming economic crisis.
Will we be quarantined or under Martial Law, without access to our accounts when the economic crisis hits?

1. martial law most likely
how far are we from that now?

I live in San Diego, so I see ALOT of military around here. It would be too easy to just lock down the streets. A simple raising of the terror alert, and we are sure to stay home without questioning.

3. Funny thing is that SAIC in SD got hit by hackers for ID thefts....

David Kay, the WMD guy, was one of the victims. Many other employees are intell guys. If they can be victimized just think what can happen to Joe Sixpak .

4. I expect the markets to continue dropping
until a crisis point is reached and panic sets in. The markets will be closed. People will rush the banks and Bush will declare Martial Law. The internet will be shut down, rumors of disease will fly. People will be shot in the streets. Fear will prevail and everyone will do as directed by FOX News.

5. Isn't the patriot act martial law light!
Comming economic crisis, you mean the one where less people have even more control over the perception of wealth?

8. Back to economic basics
That is, if you can't eat it, drink it, wear it, build a house with it, or burn it to keep warm, then to hell with it.

10. run on the dollars
NPR had a story about the dollar vs the euro...

one talking-head stated he estimated a 30% chance that there would be a run on the dollar within the next 3-4 years and it would cause serious international economic problems

China and Japan hold alot of treasury bonds -- and they are losing money on those bonds as the dollar drops.

11. We will be under Martial law
You know the neo-cons just itching for total power. Besides economic collapse, I think they will have an WMD attack in order to frighten people for good measure.
