The problem, as I see it, and I’m not talking about the out of control money printing....is the process by which there will dawn in the recognition of basically every person with functioning neurons what is to come. There won’t be much that the late-awakeners will be able to do, in fact, there is little that the early suspectors can or will be able to do.

Imagine you are on the Titanic, and I only use that example because people are familiar with it, and I don’t mean to be overly dramatic...even though the outcome *WILL* be dramatic; albeit...slow-motion dramatic.

You’re sailing along. Nobody imagines anything can go wrong, all is copacetic. At time “0”, the ship hits the iceberg, two junior officers on the bridge hear the crunch, assess the damage, and gradually realize the ship is going to sink.

15 and 30 minutes later, all the officers know.

1 hour later, 8% of the passengers know.

(and I am obviously just making up these numbers)

2 hours later, 20% of the passengers know.

By the time the lifeboats are cranked out, 80+% of the passengers know.

At every stage of increased awareness, there is an increased panic level until the hull is pointing up out of the water at an angle. Still, a very large proportion of psgrs cannot even imagine this could be happening, even as they see it with their own eyes.

I wonder what life will be like then. I am not optimistic that 10% of the 50% who voted 0bama in and thought their “ship” had come in will not go completely animal.

Calls for a new tagline.

No. They are only good at breaking windows and making whining noises, safe in the idea that they will only face misdemeanor charges.

Al of the frustration, pent up rage, and potential violence is on the side of an increasingly angry middle class.

All of the work, striving, saving,they have done is being stolen by polticians to buy votes from leeches on the body politic.

On the day that breaks loose (and it will) you are going to see some serious s**t come down.

Howard’s videos are good.

Most liberals will never get it. They will ride the ship into the ocean bottom still in denial.
