OCCUPY WALL STREET

I even have this creepy feeling that it may even go multinationally around that time because the United States financial system is so interconnected with other governments and other influential financial systems.

My neighbor, whom I've always thought of as a bit of a conspiracy crackpot, has seemed to be, so far, right on target with what he stood out in the street in front of my house and told me would happen a couple of years ago. He said that, when enough ordinary working people had lost their jobs and didn't have a way to feed their families, the ordinary citizen would wake up and the protests would begin and, ultimately, the riots. Everything always seems to hinge on whose ox is getting gored.

We'll see.

I agree 100%. I also think that they are trying to use force to try to scare people into stopping protesting (because that always works ) but instead I think it's pissing people off so I believe the riots are going to happen too.

You know, not too long ago, someone compared the current situation, meaning the peaceful protesting, to a casserole dish with a piece of cling wrap stretched over the top. They said that the dish below was just slowly simmering, but getting hotter. It was just a matter of time until the heat from within created enough pressure to blow holes in the cling wrap on top. At that point, the hot food inside would blow out through the holes in the top and become like hot lava, spilling from a heated volcano, impossible to stop, at that point.

For some convoluted reason, that made complete sense to me and I've been thinking of that analogy ever since. Strange how we continually recall things like that as we watch these situations play out.

Thanks, Ebon.
