There was a one-hour closed session on Friday 13th.

I googled for this, and found some of this speculation as well as that official notice:
So, there was a closed session, but I don’t think we know yet what was discussed.
And I don’t think closed sessions are nearly as unusual as this email suggests.
Well, I apologize. I guess closed sessions are rare, after having read more. I was thinking of closed committee meetings, I guess.
This was called to discuss the dangers of Obama’s gutting of the surveillance bill, but that might only have been the public excuse for it. Who knows?
As for an economic catastrophe, people going cold and hungry, and riots or revolts, I expect something like that before this depression, worsened by Obama’s corrupt Marxist measures, is over. It’s likely to last 20 or 25 years the way things are currently heading and with the stupidity of the government responses to it.

Well, seeing as it was the sixth in history, and the last two happened with less than a year between them. That makes it pretty unusual.
