Homeland Security set for next Wall St collapse
Asia Times ^ | 10/10/2013 | Ellen Brown

Posted on 10/13/2013 8:19:54 PM PDT by TexGrill

Reports are that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is engaged in a massive, covert military buildup. An article in the Associated Press in February confirmed an open purchase order by DHS for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. According to an op-ed in Forbes, that’s enough to sustain an Iraq-sized war for over 20 years.

DHS has also acquired heavily armored tanks, which have been seen roaming the streets. Evidently somebody in government is expecting some serious civil unrest. The question is, why?

Recently revealed statements by former UK prime minister Gordon Brown at the height of the banking crisis in October 2008 could give some insights into that question. An article on BBC News on September 21, 2013, drew from an explosive autobiography called Power Trip by Brown's spin doctor Damian McBride, who said the prime minister was worried that law and order could collapse during the financial crisis.

On American streets? Where?

Yes, why? What could possibly go wrong?

DHS picked up some MRAPs at DRMO.

It seems to me an MRAP could be countered by a large and determined civilian force.

Hmmm... Could it be that the Government has been pushing this result? Is that what this breakdown between the parties is all about? Is the Government actually looking for and promoting a revolution?

What if 0 finds his evil pans derailed by a civilian force that has been subverted and those 1.6B of rounds are turned against him? Me thinks he won’t be too happy...

America is too far gone to survive real revolution. America is under control of the communists empire and no recovery for many years.

Perhaps if there’s a crash this week, it’s a good time to exchange my China RMB currency into US dollars. IF the US dollar drops to less than 1 RMB = 5 US Dollars or lower, (Right now it’s 1RMB = 6.125 US dollars) that could be a good buying opportunity. After a crisis ensues, the US federal government will have no choice but to make a fiscal deal and that would boost the value of the dollar again and then I could re-convert my US dollars into RMB.

How would you go from RMB to the Dollar. CYB or something?

This article is different than any I have ever read because it starts with the usual dire warnings.....

..... but ends with actual solutions.

The one that needs to have a plan for the collapse is WalMart. They will be the epicenter, and the DHS won’t lift a finger to help a business during the collapse.

I live in Beijing, so I would withdraw cash from my bank account, go to a bank teller to exchange currency. However, you are limited to exchanging $500 US dollars a day. Plus there are exchange fees too. So if I do exchange money I should make sure there will be some wild fluctuations in the market. Fortunately, I can count on Obomba to make that happen for me.

A better suggestion would be to exchange Chinese RMB to US dollars in Hong Kong. They have currency exchange vendors everywhere. Less expense fees and values change every minute. I would suggest you first convert US dollars into Chinese RMB before October 17. Exchange as much currency as you want. They limit you to about $1,200 US dollars at one time. So hit your limit and go to a different exchange vendor to exchange currency on the same day. If they request a passport, get another person to make the exchange for you. So this would be a good strategy for this week. Good luck.

It would be better to exchange at 6.1 than 5.

Yes, so stock up on Chinese RMB when it’s 6.1. When 1RMB is $5 US dollars or less, than exchange RMB into US dollars. After a fiscal deal gets signed the US dollar could go back to its original value 1RMB = 6.1. And even if it just goues to 6.0, just imagine the cash you just earned. Here’s my suggestion on how to profit from Obomba’s incompetence.

This is why all the world wants the US to raise the debt limit. They’re afraid of a world crash of all the economies that are houses of cards.

I was born in the early 50s and I’ve thought my whole life that one day everything would crash. But I never thought it would happen in my lifetime.

Freepers often ask why I say, “Global business tip” in most of my comments. Perhaps, this would give a clue. By having a global perspective, you can see greater business opportunities. Just because there’s a crash in the USA doesn’t mean you can’t profit from it. How do you think Joseph P.Kennedy became a billionaire during the Great Depression? I emphasize global business because it’s inevitable that Obomba or Hildabeast will cause the collapse of the American economy. so when that occurs it’s important to be invested elsewhere.
