Which Unforeseen Economic Collapse Are They Talking About?

It can't be the one we are going through, because we know about that one.

From Chris Hedges at TruthDig.com:

"The specter of social unrest was raised at the U.S. Army War College in November in a monograph titled “Known Unknowns: Unconventional ‘Strategic Shocks’ in Defense Strategy Development.” The military must be prepared, the document warned, for a “violent, strategic dislocation inside the United States,” which could be provoked by “unforeseen economic collapse,” “purposeful domestic resistance,” “pervasive public health emergencies” or “loss of functioning political and legal order.” The “widespread civil violence,” the document said, “would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security.”

Sound cheery? How about this "revelation":

And we have few tools left to dig our way out. The manufacturing sector in the United States has been destroyed by globalization. Consumers, thanks to credit card companies and easy lines of credit, are $14 trillion in debt. The government has pledged trillions toward the crisis, most of it borrowed or printed in the form of new money. It is borrowing trillions more to fund our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. And no one states the obvious: We will never be able to pay these loans back. We are supposed to somehow spend our way out of the crisis and maintain our imperial project on credit. Let our kids worry about it. There is no coherent and realistic plan, one built around our severe limitations, to stanch the bleeding or ameliorate the mounting deprivations we will suffer as citizens. Contrast this with the national security state’s strategies to crush potential civil unrest and you get a glimpse of the future. It doesn’t look good.

I see only one answer. We need to pull together as Americans and the world and bridge cultural gaps. We have to do it with the only force that can defeat evil, and that is love. The love that the people of Whoville felt after the Grinch stole everything. This is the story of the Peacemaker.

My friend at Adored By Hordes believes Facebook is the mechanism for the Body of Christ to function. I think Facebook has the potential to be the virtual Tree of Peace.

UPDATE: Facebook justice.
