It's Shadow's doom and gloom time kids, gather round.
Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 10:28 PM by shadowknows69
Does anyone else thing that either way this election goes down there may be some very bad events in the days following? Palin's shit is starting to get the true believers whipped into a frenzy and I'd bet there are a few (hundred, thousand) of them that might not be able to accept an Obama victory. We start seeing crosses being burned on main street and that could spark the civil unrest that Bushie is looking for to try out his new marital law super weapons.

On the other hand if Obama loses after going in with a 5-10+ point lead, many people will assume that it's been stolen again and shit could also fall apart pretty quickly there.

I have very little faith in the temperment of the people in this country these days. Everyone is walking around like they just snorted an 8-ball of coke.

This morbid pondering brought to you by a lifetime of manic depression and a fucked up world.

2. What Happens if they RFK Obama Before the Election?
Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 10:44 PM by AndyTiedye
If people take to the streets en masse, as is likely, that may actually throw the election to McInane,
especially since millions of votes already cast for Obama might be thrown out.

If things didn't look good for McCain even then, they would have a pretext to "postpone" the election.

They certainly seem to be trying to set the stage for something really nasty at Palin's rallies.

5. The crazies would be stupid to hurt Obama
They'd still have to beat Joe Biden and they wouldn't have their hate card left to play anymore. Or Bush would suspend the election with martial law.

4. They'll have to steal Congress, too. Most of it.
Kinda hard to rule without it, unless you just go the dictator route.

Then, civil war.

7. The dictator route has been pretty effective for Bush so far
We're still a crippled party without a super majority. Why didn't the rethugs seem to have that probem? Oh yeah, every time we should have fillibustered, WE DIDN'T!

13. Blackmail and the Threat of Death Have Worked Pretty Well for The BFEE so Far
The NSA blackmail machine is highly effective


If that doesn't work, they've got this anthrax, or maybe they'll just make your plane fall out of the sky:

10. Read this part first
http://urbansurvival.com/

What is 'UrbanSurvival"?
We've been asking the same thing...but serious...UrbanSurvival started as a multipurpose web site in 1995-96 as I was completing a Masters in Business Administration, while at the same time being an active participant in the University of Colorado's Center for a Sustainable Future's Long Wave ("Longwaves") Economics discussion group, which focused on the work of Nikolai Kondratiev (sometimes spelled Kondratieff). The way I arranged things, the initial site fulfilled three purposes: It provided a capstone project for my MBA, it gave me a "must do" vehicle to learn about web site construction which would gain me advantages as a sales & marketing expert (which I continue today, focusing on web-direct response/B2C for clients) and it provides an important alternative to the "me-too" corporate mainstream news genre, which takes a very shallow approach to most business and financial news.



This site is not overtly political, except insofar as the Western Capitalistic paradigm doesn't have ready answers to what happens when 7-billion humans reach the limit of the planet's carrying capacity. We look to daily news reports and academic studies for hints.



While the longer term outlook reflected here smacks of such landmark works as Robert Kaplan's book "The Coming Anarchy" and James Kunstler's "The Long Emergency," UrbanSurvival's goal is to try and put day-to-day news items into a workable and actionable perspective such that a long-term investor might react thoughtfully to events - often in advance of their occurrence. How can you do that, you're wondering?



We have friends who have developed a groundbreaking predictive technology which we simply call "web bot" technology developed by Cliff of www.halfpasthuman.com. The technology, which samples large portions of the public internet with an eye toward "sensing the future" based on subtle changes in language, seems to have given indications before-the-fact of a large number of major news events, including but not limited to our reports before the fact on things like:

· 911

· Sumatra

· New Orleans Katrina/Rita

· Cheney and his "accident"

· Sex Scandal just coming out

· Bushco and escalating disclosures

· Degrading of Iraqi's and Iraqi youth rebellion against US

· Silver exploding, followed by Gold

· Pakistan earthquake

· Climate change (the life-changing event)

· The multiple extraordinary hurricanes (with another season coming like the last)

· The increasing unpopularity of the Bush Administration leading up to the inevitable meltdown

· Space Shuttle explosion

· The unfolding disaster in Iraq

· Commodity shortages with more coming this summer (2006)

· Emerging and ongoing, oil price increases

14. I've been checking the Urban Survival site every day
since I discovered it about two weeks ago, thanks to the Astrology, Spirituality and Alternative Healing forum here at DU.

So I was late in finding out about the October 7th prediction compared to some here, but I've been tracking it closely ever since I found about it. Damned if those web bot guys weren't RIGHT!!!

9. The hate fests are dangerous.
This sort of mob frenzy can get out of hand rather quickly. It is incredibly dangerously irresponsible for the McCain campaign to have gone down this road.

15. Bush is going to try out marital law superweapons?
Is this going to be another of those "one man and one woman" things?
