Brzezinski warns of US riots Due to Economic Crisis
Tuesday, March 3, 2009 8:11Zbigniew Brzezinski, a former national security advisor, has warned that the US could witness riots if economy continues its downward spiral.
“There’s going to be growing conflict between the classes and if people are unemployed and really hurting, hell, there could be even riots!” said Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter’s national security advisor, in a recent interview with NBC.
“In 1907, when we had a massive banking crisis, when banks were beginning to collapse, there were going to be riots in the streets,” he added.
At least 3.6 million jobs have been wiped out throughout the US since the recession began in December 2007. The jobless rate officially reached a 16-year high of 7.6% (11.6 million people) last month.
Earlier this week, a new Federal Reserve report said that US unemployment could increase to 8.8%, causing the economy to contract for a full calendar year for the first time since 1991, when a contraction of 0.2% was registered.

“Where is the moneyed class today? Why aren’t they doing something: the people who made billions, millions. I’m sort of thinking of Paulson, of Rubin [former treasury secretaries]. Why don’t they get together, and why don’t they organize a national solidarity fund in which they call on all of those who made these extraordinary amounts of money to kick some back?” he argued.
“I was worrying about it because we’re going to have millions and millions of unemployed, people really facing dire straits. And we’re going to be having that for some period of time before things hopefully improve,” said Brzezinski.

I would hope people will be able to see CLEARLY who the REAL enemies are. It’s not the Muslims, nor the gays, nor the minorities, nor the foreigners, nor the so called secular humanists.
It’s the BANKERS-and those who support them and do their bidding. They are the enemy, they are responsible.

Prediction for 2009: Bankers and other Wall Street bigwigs will be burned out of their homes. This will happen at least once this year. Once it happens, expect it to increase in frequency.
Prediction for 2010: Increase in suicides gives way to homicides and lynch mobs killing bankers and other rich people. If I was A. Mozilo or K. Lewis, I’d be fearing for my life. The angry hordes won’t really care if there is a cause/effect correlation. Some victims want revenge, and there are a lot of “victims.”

Why should people trust Zbigniew Brzezinski? He is a Bilderberger, a Trilateralist and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He is just another New World Order hawk just like the rest of them. The rich and powerful will disappear behind their guarded mansions and Blackhawk bodyguards.

Heather,
You’re totally right. In fact, this is what the Trilateralist/New World Order hawks want: more war. They did oversees and now they want bring it home. This economic crisis leading to a civil war, it has been planed a long time ago. It’s so good for Blackwater, industrial military complex and “security” business. That is the final end of American freedom and civil liberties. 911, Patriot Act and Homeland Security, these were just a start.
As I see on the comments above, people are marching straight to a big trap, like blind mice.. Beside that, I’ve heard some many people saying: buy guns, ammo.. They just forget to say: dig your own grave!
Anyway, the plan is working, The horror circus is ready.

In his blog, Brandulph tells, precisely, what the World Order hawks really want.
1. Scare the hell out of people with a few false flag terror operation, and make people virtually beg for more surveillance and reduced individual and political freedom.
2. Arrange for a grave financial crisis, leading to a high unemployment rate, while at the same time; pay out huge bonuses to people in banks and finance institutions. People who have physically carried out the scams leading to the finance crisis that is.
3. Let the people carry the responsibility and to pay for all the mismanagement which was leading up to the crisis.
4. The situation which has been created, will eventually result in social unrest and wild riots, which will call for martial law to be applied. The way has then been paved for all individual and political freedom to be totally revoked.
5. Military dictatorship has been achieved…. just like GWB dreamed of. The NWO has finally become a reality.

When people who’s opinions you respect begin to disappear into jails without bail, You’d better jump ugly. It is the last chance you will have. The Monster is well capable of killing this country with propaganda and brute force. It has already happened in america, by foreign wars, again and again. This time nuclear weapons may come as friends. The only change President O seems to offer is changing the Pentagram from Iraq to Pakistan/Iran.. Count the days. It too late whitey.

It’s human nature to envision the worst case scenario. It’s the human psychological condition that yells “The sky is falling” at the first sign of trouble. I remember Y2K all too well. I remember the Bush Administration’s mantra of fear that lasted until a great many people woke up. I don’t want to soft sell what is transpiring. We are already in the depression, and things will get worse.
And yet, some of what I have read under this article indicates psychological problems are already taking hold. The most any of us can do is to keep on keeping on. Those that hold the power in this world–in this country–call the shots and there isn’t much we can do.
I don’t put a lot of faith in doomsayers. I don’t have a faith in people who are on equal footing with me when it comes to prognostications. Brzezinski is not different. Someone should tell him to go shave his ass.

You people want to argue about conspiracy theories, Trilateralists and the New World Order… Whatever. This is basic human psychology we talking about here. People respond to negative events with anger. Angry people do dumb, violent things. Such hostility may be a childish reaction, like an outburst, but it is UNDENIABLY what people of any age do. Ignoring the message simply because you don’t like the messenger is a fallacy known as an ad hominem.

Ignoring the message? Jeff, what message? Maybe we should lend credence to 2012 being the end of the world. I think the messengers are insane, but what the hell. Maybe we should send someone out to hang out with Dick Cheney, who IS insane. Hell, he thinks we’ll be attacked any day now. What is your point???We all know how people react, especially in a pack mentality situation. Do we really need some ass affiliated with government (read, MONEY) to give us his prognostication???? Get a clue, pal.

Another troll…great. Definition here:
http://www.flayme.com/troll/#What (see “HansGluck”)
I was pointing out the illogical inferences commenters were drawing between someone they don’t like + what that person is saying. It is a fallacy of logic to dismiss a concept merely because you don’t like who is saying it. If you have other reasons to object, argue those points. But just because you happen to think someone is a buffoon is irrelevant in a rationale discussion. One needs more than, “I don’t like him, ergo everything he says is false.” And what does the fact that one has money have to do with the suggestion that there might be riots? Another non sequitur, it would seem. Can’t someone with money make an observation about riots? What difference does it make that one was “affiliated with the government?” What agenda does this man have when suggesting there could be class conflict?
My other point was about people’s personal psychology — each individual, not the pack. You could say many consumers are going through the “7 stages of grief” with respect to the financial crisis. People lost money. Some people react with anger, one of the 7 stages. If you get enough angry people together, you could have riots. It’s a plausibility, which is different than a prediction.
But let’s hear what you have to say again. What do you think are plausible outcomes? For one concerned about “making a point,” I must admit that I’m very vague on what it is you’re trying to say. 2012 what? Insane messengers? Hanging out w/Dick Cheney? Attacked by huh? Pack mentality?
