Most Probable SHTF Scenario

[testdepth]

Now that Obama was able to get himself re-elected he will find a way to institute Martial Law. He will then outlaw firearms in the name of tragedy's that happened such as the one in CT. Once all firearms have been outlawed he will force law abiding people to turn them in under threat of arrest like they did in Canada and Britain. Once that is done he will crown himself leader and his third term will begin. He will then be a Dictator of controlled people like Chavez and not a President of the free people. The cause of this will be another revolution because no matter how hard the progressives try to socialize the United States of America, they will never be able to overcome the desire of the majority of the people to always remain free..

Financial collapse OR an EMP and then financial collapse and a bunch of other scary stuff to follow....

The simplified math is that the government spends more money daily than they take in. Political posturing by both Democrats AND Republicans prevents a genuine fix because they're all determined to blame the other for the fall when it comes. AND they each have to look after their special interests and campaign supporters.
I think they will reach an agreement before the "fiscal cliff" but it will only be like putting a band-aid on a severed artery and won't last forever. So, financial collapse is very likely.

Russian nuclear attack subs have been in the Gulf of Mexico twice this summer (June and July - google it!) - undetected til much later. The US, of course, denies it. The Russians swear it's true. Who can we believe? They both lie.
I think it was last year, the Russians also flew nuclear capable bombers into our airspace in Alaska and when challenged by fighter jets, they said "Sorry, we were on a training mission and got off course by mistake." (Google it!)

Last year someone mysteriously launched "something" into the sky off the coast of California. The trail was seen by hundreds, if not thousands of people, but no clear explanation was ever given and it was dismissed as a passenger jet con trail. Some witnesses said it appeared to come out of the water.

Russian subs were detected off the Atlantic coast in August or September of this year (in international waters but still very close). They reported that they were on manuevers - just nosing around. (Google this too)

Hugo Chavez, directly to our South, is real, real, real chummy with Iran's leader now (sorry can't spell his name). The only thing Iran would like better than toasting our electrical infrastructure and bringing us to our knees is to do away with Israel. And if they did toast our electrical infrastructure, Israel would naturally be targeted next...so it's a win-win for them if they could pull an EMP off....

I think all of these incidents (and who knows what else that didn't get reported?) are simply testing our responses...so, yeah, an EMP is likely in my book.

EMP Would suck since most of us have our BOL somewhere we would have to travel to get too...
