I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but on this point I can see it happening. I’ve never read Mr. Wiley, and when I have time, I’ll look into it.

BUT........I still have this feeling that Obama is a two-termer. Don’t ask me why, it’s just my gut talking. But, if a President (with dictatorial ambitions, regardless of party) really did want to be a dictator, what better way to do it then by creating an emergency?

So, let’s say it all goes to hell starting on Monday (August 8th, 2011) with a major stock market crash. Let’s say a nice slow one, and by the end of the week, the DJIA loses 40 to 50% of its value. Bank runs, Wal-Mart runs, ‘flash mobs’ in the streets, in other words, higgeldy-piggeldy. Let that brew for a little, and voila! you have “civil disorder”.

And that’s exactly the pretext needed to declare a “State of Emergency”. Depending on far our hypothetical President is willing to go, suspension of habeus corpus, certain articles of the Constitution, perhaps the dissolution of the House and Senate as well (that’d be a little harder to pull off). And lets say, we can really kick off the “civil disorder” around June, next year. In other words, low-intensity for the time being, but really kick it up a notch starting next summer.

Bada-bing! You can “indefinitely postpone” the 2012 elections.

And there you go. And, thanks to various Executive Orders, mostly Cold War relics, all nice and legal. Kind of like an American version of the Enabling Act.

Am I being paranoid? Or prophetic? Only time will tell......

All of the liberal support he received in my neck of the woods have already dumped his propaganda machine. I live in conservative country tho and the 46 million on food stamps will vote for him.

Interest rates will begin the climb back up. If one has CC debt or an ARM had better get prepared.

I actually completely agree with EVERYTHING you said about your hypothetical situation you described about Obama declaring Marshal Law.

Look at the blacks beating the whites in Wisconsin and Iowa, flash mobs of blacks robbing stores in every major city yet not covered by the MSM.

Obama has the most despicable hateful racists like Chris Rock at his Mo-Town Birthday. Disgusted...

Never going to happen-blatantly unconstitutional. There will be an election as scheduled in Nov. 2012. If Obama even hinted at the possibility of doing what you wrote, there would be impeachment hearings scheduled the next second. If he actually tried it, he would be impeached and there would be enough Democrats in the Senate to join Republicans in convicting and removing him from office.

Don’t waste your time pondering such things.

Well, that’s sorta what I envisioned, except it happens a tad faster than expected.
