MONDAY: ALL HELL TO BREAK LOOSE
Those of you who have been following my former radio show and now,
this blog, know that I have a very good track record of telling you
what's coming in the markets and when.
Tonight, as I write, it is Friday, September 26 at 7:05 PM and I
regret to tell you that Monday all hell is going to break loose.
The reason President Bush, Treasury Secretary Paulson and Federal
Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke pushed so hard for Congress to act this
week was because they knew that the last hour of trading last Friday
was a "quadruple witching hour." During that hour, contracts for stock
index futures, stock index options, stock options and single stock
futures (SSF) all expire.
Quadruple witching hours occur only four times a year, on the third
Friday of March, June, September and December.
Bush, Paulson and Bernanke knew that if a solution was not found by
close of business today, they could not hold off the rest of the world
any longer. The markets would start plummeting in Asia on Sunday night
(East coast time) because with all the options and futures having now
expired, the market is free to "correct" itself.
Congress has now failed to act, the quadruple witching hour has taken
place and there is no bailout.
If Congress does not get a Bill passed by Sunday night, we should
expect all hell to break loose when Asian markets open and the
"correction" hits. Look for a severe, fast, downward spiral.
I'm talking about worldwide economic calamity beginning Sunday in Asia
and spiraling out of control within a week or so. Two weeks tops.
If I am right (and I hope I am not) the world will see a financial
catastrophe that will make "the great depression" look like a walk in
the park.
Here's what you need to do this weekend
If you haven't taken my advice and gotten out of the markets already,
you're too late. The only thing you can try to do now is prepare for
the fallout of the worldwide economic collapse.
Go out and get yourself canned foods; enough to feed your family for a
month or two.
In addition to canned foods, go out and buy 50lb bags of rice and
oatmeal. You can use the rice as a bed for the canned foods for lunch
and dinner and the oatmeal for breakfast. You may want to grab some
honey and / or brown sugar to put on the oatmeal. You should also have
dry milk powder to be able to mix with water to make milk.
If you do not yet have a gravity-fed water filter, go get one.
If you do not yet own guns to protect yourself and your family, try to
buy one over the weekend. If you already own guns, get ammunition.
The reason you'll need the weapons is because civil unrest is likely
to begin very quickly.
With economic collapse, supermarkets will run out of food fast. Roving
bands of savage beasts will quickly realize they're hungry and come
for your food. If you cannot protect yourself, they will kill you to
get it.
The police will be totally overwhelmed rather quickly, so 911 won't be
any help for you.
The cities will become nightmares within days and once the cities are
emptied of food, the savages will have to come to the suburbs to get
more. Rest assured, they will come.
Get together with your neighbors to form neighborhood defense teams.
Get Family Radio Service walkie-talkies or CB radios and have them on
a set channel for your neighborhood. If trouble comes, EVERYONE in the
neighborhood must respond and use all deliberate force to restore
order.
I hope this information helps.

Will there even be an election in November [per Executive Order]
Posted on September 25th, 2008
by Carissa Picard
Not to give credence to the crazies in America (no offense … you know
who you are) but you have to admit that things have suddenly gone
awry, both domestically and internationally, at an awfully convenient
time.
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean someone isn’t following you.
With what little we now know about what is REALLY going on in our
“global war on terror,” the events of the past few weeks are more than
a little perplexing (e.g., the U.S.’s sudden aggressiveness toward AQ
and Taliban in Pakistan–kind of like poking a bear with a hot stick).
So, late last night I suddenly remembered hearing something a while
back about Executive Order 12656 (EO 12956).
EO 12656 was created under–and signed into law by–President Ronald
Reagan to ensure ”Continuity of Government” in the event of an extreme
national emergency, such as a nuclear holocaust.
EO 12656, to put it simply, gives the President power to impose
federal martial law (including the postponement of federal elections).
Here ia a blog snippet on EO 12646:
Though few Americans realize it, Cheney and Rumsfeld worked through
the 1980s and 1990s on emergency nuclear-response plans which
allegedly suspended the American constitution and also Congress.[1]
(Through these decades Rumsfeld was CEO of a major pharmaceutical
firm, and in the later 1990s Cheney was CEO of Halliburton; but their
private status did not deter them from continuing to exercise a supra-
constitutional planning power conferred on them by Ronald Reagan.)
Even fewer Americans know that these rules, originally dealing with a
nuclear attack on America, were extended by Reagan Executive Order
12656 to cover “any occurrence, including natural disaster, military
attack, technological emergency, or other emergency, that seriously
degrades or seriously threatens the national security of the United
States.”[2] And few Americans realize that at least some of these
rules, known technically as Continuity of Government or COG rules,
were invoked before 10:00 AM on September 11, 2001.[3]
As he did in 2007, President Bush has again, on August 28, 2008,
continued for another year the national emergency first officially
proclaimed on September 14, 2001, along with “the powers and
authorities adopted to deal with that emergency.”
So, it is interesting to note that on August 28, 2008, President Bush
extended this Executive Order for another year.
I know, this seems far out. But believe me you, something is fishy in
Denmark and I no longer put anything past anyone in our government.
Six months before his presidency ends and NOW President Bush has a bee
in his bonnet about al-Qaeda in Pakistan?? Iran has become public
enemy number one? (No, no, REALLY public enemy number one.)
Prudence, thy name is not America (nor is it George Bush.) (Or Dick
Cheney… or John McCain for that matter…) Does this sound crazy? Sure.
Impossible? Not necessarily. Yes, “the people” can protest, but will
they?
Just something to think about…
Pre Election Deployment of Combat Troops inside US
Michel Chossudovsky
Global Research
September 26, 2008
The Army Times reports that the 3rd Infantry’s 1st Brigade Combat Team
is returning from Iraq to defend the Homeland, as "an on-call federal
response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters,
including terrorist attacks." The BCT unit has been attached to US
Army North, the Army’s component of US Northern Command (USNORTHCOM).
(See Gina Cavallaro, Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1, Army Times,
September 8, 2008).
"Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-
day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern
Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade
emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.
It is not the first time an active-duty unit has been tapped to help
at home. …
But this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been
given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established
in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense
efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities.
After 1st BCT finishes its dwell-time mission, expectations are that
another, as yet unnamed, active-duty brigade will take over and that
the mission will be a permanent one.
The command is at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo.,
but the soldiers with 1st BCT, who returned in April after 15 months
in Iraq, will operate out of their home post at Fort Stewart, Ga.,
The 1st of the 3rd is still scheduled to deploy to either Iraq or
Afghanistan in early 2010, which means the soldiers will have been
home a minimum of 20 months by the time they ship out.
In the meantime, they’ll learn new skills, use some of the ones they
acquired in the war zone and more than likely will not be shot at
while doing any of it. (ibid)
The BCT is an army combat unit designed to confront an enemy within a
war theater.
With US forces overstretched in Iraq, why would the Pentagon decide to
undertake this redeployment within the USA, barely one month before
the presidential elections?
The new mission of the 1st Brigade on US soil is to participate in
"defense" efforts as well as provide "support to civilian
authorities".
What is significant in this redeployment of a US infantry unit is the
presumption that North America could, in the case of a natgional
emergency, constitute a "war theater" thereby justifying the
deployment of combat units..
The new skills to be imparted consists in training 1st BCT in
repressing civil unrest, a task normally assumed by civilian law
enforcement.
What we are dealing with is a militarization of civilian police
activities in derogation of the Posse Comitatus Act.
The prevailing FISA emergency procedures envisage the enactment of
martial law in the case of a terrorist attack. The 1st BCT and other
combat units would be called upon to perform specific military
functions:
They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or
to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning
and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear
or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack.
Training for homeland scenarios has already begun at Fort Stewart and
includes specialty tasks such as knowing how to use the “jaws of life”
to extract a person from a mangled vehicle; extra medical training for
a CBRNE incident; and working with U.S. Forestry Service experts on
how to go in with chainsaws and cut and clear trees to clear a road or
area.
The 1st BCT’s soldiers also will learn how to use “the first ever
nonlethal package that the Army has fielded,” 1st BCT commander Col.
Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment
and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous
individuals without killing them.
“It’s a new modular package of nonlethal capabilities that they’re
fielding. They’ve been using pieces of it in Iraq, but this is the
first time that these modules were consolidated and this package
fielded, and because of this mission we’re undertaking we were the
first to get it.”
The package includes equipment to stand up a hasty road block; spike
strips for slowing, stopping or controlling traffic; shields and
batons; and, beanbag bullets.
Civil unrest resulting from from the financial meltdown is a distinct
possibility, given the broad impacts of financial collapse on lifelong
savings, pension funds, homeownership, etc.
The timing of this planned militarization is crucial: how will it
affect the presidential elections scheduled for Tuesday November 4.
The brigade in its domestic homeland activities will be designated as
the Consequence Management Response Force ( CCMRF) (pronounced “sea-
smurf”).
What " Consequences" are being envisaged?
In a conference held under NorthCom last February, the mission of
CCMRFF was defined as follows;
"How to protect communities from terrorist and biological attacks
topped the agenda last week for more than 100 service members and
civilians gathered at Joint Task Force Civil Support headquarters at
Fort Monroe, Va.
The U.S. Northern Command Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear,
and High-Yield Explosive Commanders’ Conference, held Feb. 21-23,
brought JTF-CS subordinate task force and unit commanders here to
discuss common concerns regarding operational requirements of the
CBRNE Consequence Management mission and to begin preparations for
Exercise Ardent Sentry 2007.
“We’re giving operationally focused briefs to our CCMRF ( CBRNE
Consequence Management Response Force) units to help them prepare and
successfully deploy for a CBRNE mission in the continental United
States, its territories and possessions,” said JTF-CS Current
Operations Specialist Hawley Waterman, who helped organized the
conference. “This is also an opportunity to get acquainted and
establish better relationships with (subordinate
commanders).”(NorthCom, March 2007)
What is envisaged is the possibility of a (false flag) terrorist
attack on America, which could be used as a justification for
retaliatory or preemptive military action overseas (e.g. Iran) as well
actions on the domestic front. The ultimate objective of this
deployment of 1st BCT is to apply combat experience in the Homeland:
“I can’t think of a more noble mission than this,” said Cloutier, who
took command in July. “We’ve been all over the world during this time
of conflict, but now our mission is to take care of citizens at home …
and depending on where an event occurred, you’re going home to take
care of your home town, your loved ones.”
While soldiers’ combat training is applicable, he said, some nuances
don’t apply.
The operation officially has an emergency mandate to "help American
citizens on American soil, to save lives, provide critical life
support, help clear debris", but it also implies the running of
military style operations. :in fact it would appear that the emergency
tasks helping civilians is a cover-up. This is a combat unit, which is
trained and equipped to kill people:
Some brigade elements will be on call around the clock, during which
time they’ll do their regular marksmanship, gunnery and other
deployment training. That’s because the unit will continue to train
and reset for the next deployment, even as it serves in its CCMRF
mission.
Should personnel be needed at an earthquake in California, for
example, all or part of the brigade could be scrambled there,
depending on the extent of the need and the specialties involved.
Other branches included The active Army’s new dwell-time mission is
part of a NorthCom and DOD response package.
Active-duty soldiers will be part of a force that includes elements
from other military branches and dedicated National Guard Weapons of
Mass Destruction-Civil Support Teams.
A final mission rehearsal exercise is scheduled for mid-September at
Fort Stewart and will be run by Joint Task Force Civil Support, a unit
based out of Fort Monroe, Va., that will coordinate and evaluate the
interservice event.
In addition to 1st BCT, other Army units will take part in the two-
week training exercise, including elements of the 1st Medical Brigade
out of Fort Hood, Texas, and the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade from
Fort Bragg, N.C.
There also will be Air Force engineer and medical units, the Marine
Corps Chemical, Biological Initial Reaction Force, a Navy weather team
and members of the Defense Logistics Agency and the Defense Threat
Reduction Agency.
One of the things Vogler said they’ll be looking at is communications
capabilities between the services.
“It is a concern, and we’re trying to check that and one of the ways
we do that is by having these sorts of exercises. Leading up to this,
we are going to rehearse and set up some of the communications systems
to make sure we have interoperability,” he said.
A national emergency could be triggered. "[H]orrific scenarios such as
massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological,
radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive [attack]" or a so-
called CBRNE type scenario. One assumes that this is some form of
domestic attack, allegedly by terrorists.
But at the same time, the Bush administration may be seeking a
justification to establish martial law and intervene militarily within
the USA.
“I don’t know what America’s overall plan is — I just know that 24
hours a day, seven days a week, there are soldiers, sailors, airmen
and Marines that are standing by to come and help if they’re called,”
Cloutier said. “It makes me feel good as an American to know that my
country has dedicated a force to come in and help the people at
home.” (Army Times, op cit , emphasis added)
"This type of planning and coordination and training is a priority
both in our headquarters and at NORTHCOM, as we understand our
responsibilities to be ready should the requirement arise, God
forbid," (Army News Service Sept 15m 2008)
