Originally posted by kmax87The "Rebel Alliance" to use the Star Wars analogy isn't a national group, but forces within the empire.
Well if you apply Star Wars mythology, then the Empire (US) is quietly gathering all the nations into a universal pact (US/UN/EU) which will see every nation tied into trade agreements and trading blocs that would seem futile to go against, because the might and power of the Empire will be able to effectively embargo any nation foolish enough to oppose this j ...[text shortened]... at role.
Can anyone suggest a real world rebel alliance counterpoint to the US/UN/EU Empire?
Also the "dark side" is not the entire Senate, but conspirators within it.
It isn't the US/UN/EU that is the empire, but those conspiratorial "one worlders" who attempt to dominate political and economic power via those entities, while at the same time attempting to bring them down, so that they are left in total power.
It is no "accident" that the current world crisis originated in banking. It is also no "accident" that national government, and the useful idiots at the helm of them are rushing to finance these very bankers indiscriminately.

WWII did not end.
It has continued and flourished in unrelenting conflict and violence ever since, most notably in the Middle East. I see the Israeli-Arab conflict as an extension of WWII. It is directly caused by WWII and the battle has raged constantly since, and sixty years later there is still no resolution or end in sight.
Just because the Wester ...[text shortened]... ' as it relates to their own illusion of peace and security, does not and will not make it so.

Originally posted by sasquatch672I just said sources as I read a varied range of things.. but the main one of them is stratfor.com - strategic forecasting - a private intelligence firm - I'd highly reccomend them for a non-partisan view of geopolitical happenings.. aside from them my friends forward me articles and stuffs.
"Some of my sources..."
You have sources that have noticed an economic crisis?
I don't believe you. Name names. Produce justification for this wild-ass supersecret theory so controversial that you can't tell us who's telling you that. Stop protecting them.

Everybody knows but is afraid to acknowledge that WWIII will be caused by a worldwide zombie uprising that will result in extermination of all but a select few that are highly trained to deal with such matters.

I suggest, lest you brand yourself as the slobbering type who doesn't brush their teeth, that you cease this behavior immediately.
i think an asteroid will get to us before WW3 can. I bet ten recs to this.

Originally posted by epprobFDR was managing the Great Depression well with his New Deal initiatives prior to WW2. The US coped much better with WW2 than the countries where the fighting took place, making the Depression a non-issue after the war, but there's no question that FDR already had the country on a trajectory to recover prior to WW2.
According to some of my sources, and simply being observant, we're headed for a depression worse than the great depression. What brought the world out of the first great depression? WWII right? I've already heard various news outlets discussing this idea.

These are just a few things I've been giving thought-nothing conclusive.

I am struck by the irony of you, of all people, commenting on the less than socially adept behaviour of anyone else on this site. With the sincere hope that you are visited by some sense of decorum, I recommend that you hit yourself in the nuts with a claw hammer immediately.
Merry Christmas,
The Hand.
