Excellent, thank you for sharing.
I was hoping that is what you had to say because I've been thinking along the same lines.
I read your posts here frequently and respect what you have to say.
As for that $64k question, if this pans out the way we are discussing, do you think we'll ever find out who gave the activation order? I would assume it would be a General or perhaps a civilian at the Pentagon?

I appreciate the kind words Ron, but I can't claim any special insight, I could be wrong on far more than I'm right.

Nevertheless, IF such a scenario were to play out, we would have to presume that we would temporarily (how long, who knows?) end up being governed by a military government as suggested by retired General Tommy Franks, although his thought was that it would be a WMD attack on the U.S. that would trigger the formation of a military government.

The most important thing (obviously) would be to secure the U.S. nuclear arsenal for multiple reasons:

The possibility of 0bamunist factions seeking to use those weapons on their domestic political enemies (i.e., that's you and me FRiend) right here within the CONUS,

The need to immediately reassure both Moscow and Beijing that there are "no loose nukes" that might be launched against them, the failure to assure them of that could be what precipitates a preemptive nuclear attack by THEM on US (not that those SOBs would need a reason, lol).

Finally, in a chaotic situation where lines of internal command and control are rapidly being re-routed/re-drawn, there is an absolute need to be certain that any subversive Islamic elements within our military are denied -any- unauthorized access to biological/chemcial/nuclear weapons.

As to 'who' would give the order to secure the Executive Branch and rescue the Office of POTUS from enemy control?

I doubt we would ever know. However I would nominate them for their bones one day being interred within the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, "A Patriot Whose Name Is Known Only To God".

Interesting, thank you.

I've always assumed that our nuclear arsenal was secured by our military to begin with so if a coup did happen, wouldn't zero and his comrades already be out of the loop as far as access? I'm no expert in this so I'm just speaking my mind, perhaps out of too much ignorance.

At any rate, at this point I trust our military far more the what is currently in charge but you're right, it would be chaotic, to say the least.

Funny, (kind of) throughout my entire life I always thought it was China or Russia that would be the cause of any disaster that might befall this nation, now it appears our current government is more likely.

Strange times indeed.
