The list just goes on -
The threat of military strikes or terror brings with it the looming questions and fears of martial law in the US -
Now as an aside
BEFORE you say oh well you want to see the US fall etc
No that would be extraodinarily bad for me and mine -
Living next to your nation - We have the relationship of a row boat next to the Titanic - If the Titanic sinks the row boat will be pulled under with it with such force and speed that is likely impossible to imagine
So no it would not suit me at all
But it certainly seems as if it may happen anyway

But we don't want to join !
We like you and all but as nieghbors not room mates
We don't want to be Americans - and believe me you don't want to be Canadianized
As an example our first act would be to teach you how to say ZED instead of Zee
Then you would have to start putting U's in words
Like colour and labour
Plow would become Plough etc
The good point of this for you guys is you'd finally have some decent beer instead of that donkey swill you've been passing off as a beverage all these years
But if thats what this is all about maybe we can just send you the recipe and you can all stay home
Try it eh

If you have ever seen the film "The Fall of the Roman Empire" you will see that a nation can be at the top of its military power and still be crumbling on the inside. The United States is militarily the most powerful country in the world and can stay wherever they want as long as they want. However, on the inside the country is becoming more corrupt. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. The always important middle class is shrinking and many jobs are going overseas. The people have little faith in the president and have even less faith in their congress. When people stop believing in their government there is a call for revolution. Rome began to fall apart when it was the most powerful country in the world. The same thing could happen to the United States of America.

I honestly do not know what will happen! I have seen and read too much to discount this as a possibility. But, I am also aware that the so called powers that be, are not always in agreement about their agendas. A very wise friend told me, not long ago, that those on the highest levels of those who are really running things behind the scenes, are actually too smart to really destroy the golden goose. So, there is also a possibility that those who want the NWO and who are working so hard to make the NWO happen, might not get things exactly as they want them to be. It may be that those who are really running things, are too aware that if we the common people (like you and me) are pushed too hard in the wrong direction, we will get off our duffs, and we will revolt. If that were to happen then the golden goose would be destroyed....because we are the golden goose to them. The only thing we can really do is to be aware, and vigilant, and to try to make sure that others are also aware and vigilant. We have to make sure that the powers that be, also realize that we are not all complacent and sleepwalking, and that a mass awakening is not outside the realm of possibility. If they know that they have reason to fear us, and a mass awakening, then they will be careful not to push us too far! We do have to keep on rocking the boat, and pushing for positive change. We cannot afford to fall back to sleep, because that is how they managed to get the foothold they now have. We let them get away with the Federal Reserve and the income tax, for example, because we fell for their lies, and we were sleep walking. But, we also cannot live our lives in fear, because whatever we fear, we will attract into our collective experience. *sm*

For finished Disclosure, you're able to a minimum of point out which you pray on a daily basis for Jesus to return back and deliver all the Jews to Hell: "Israel might have become a punching bag for many of the worldwide, yet 50 million individuals back the Jewish state a hundred%, no ifs, buts or maybes. As portrayed interior the superb documentary “waiting for Armageddon,” those supporters are Christian Evangelicals who're neither rural hicks nor ranting followers. What they carry in basic is an unshakeable faith that each and each inch of Israel/Palestine belongs to the Jews. “they like the Muslims to be evicted with the aid of the Jews, the Jews to rebuild the Temple of Solomon and then Christ to return and trump all human beings,” one analyst explains interior the action picture. The action-backed ideals of the Evangelicals confront maximum American Jews with a quandary. They applaud the unstinting economic help to Israel from the Evangelical community, approximately $75 million each and consistent with annum, and much greater its political clout and lobbying on behalf of the Jewish state. yet, the help comes with a theological value ticket. on the top of days, after the marvelous conflict between stable and evil on the plains of Megiddo in northern Israel, they have self assurance, the Jews will the two see the sunshine and settle for Jesus Christ, or die...."

Russian do have more powerful weapons than the US has...
Just look for the elipton weapon... But you are right on one thing at least, the US is falling, and falling fast, as the US is being sold to China for its involvement in Iraq, and leverage against it is quite huge now, enough to destabilized the US economy. Its in part what is responsible for the low currency.
But they will be definitly a third world war involving the US, they are too many ressources of great strategic importance, that can`t be overlooked anymore. And money like wars...

It depends on what you are referring to by that "fall". If you are referring to an economic collapse - possibly (not probably). If you are referring to a loss of international influence - that will likely only come with an economic collapse. If you are referring to a loss of military might - it wont happen. Just as the Japanese felt in WWII, US soil is sacred land. Any visible intruder would be already marked for death by angry mobs of vigilantes. The world doesn't want to see what America is ready and willing to do if we feel directly threatened. Hiroshima was nothing...
As for China - they can sit on it!

We won't fall because we're going to bring your country and Mexico into the union the North American Union. This way we can still remain competitive with the euro. We can build a mightier military and so on...
Edit: Regardless how you and I feel about it, it doesn't matter, we can't do anything about it. Canada Mexico and America all want it.
You want sources just google NAU. There's a U for you.

What? You missed it? Happened back in Y2K, when Bush stole the Election and Cheney called off the plans for a nationwide blackout on New Year's Eve.
Everything since then has just been the death throes.

#1 recently, no offense to you UK people out there, the terrorists have been attacking on US allies more then the actual US, with londons car bombs etc.
#2 were allied with so many countries, and NOONE likes north korea ok, even south korea hates north korea...
#3 we have so many weapon owners in the us that hunt, if we were invaded by terrorists we could probably repel them out of the country ourselves, they are poorly trained, and poorly equipped
#4 iraq terrorists are definetly struggling to remain dominant over the rest of iraq, because saddam is dead, and osama bin laden will be too very soon.
#5 we are also training a military in iraq
#6 just like we allied with britain in ww2 to win that war, we are allied with them once more
#7 we have so many allies, including australia, canada, britain, and mexico, and nothing scares a terrorist away more then a guy with a sombrero a poncho and a revolver if russian and cuban communists want to fight, they can fight, but im pretty sure were currently allied with russia am i right?
#8 we have to be allied with japan because we buy soo many cheesy little toys from them, we probably have more made in japan toys then japan does!!!

Your question seems to involve 3 threats:
1. A nuclear missile strike by a nation
2. Muslim extremists
3. Financial crisis
To address Threat 1:
The U.S. has been vulnerable to credible nuclear missile strikes since the Cuban Missile Crisis during Kennedy's term in office. The Mutually Assured Destruction plan developed as a way of lessening escalation of conflict during the "Cold War." During that time allies of both USA and USSR were encouraged to develop nuclear power capabilities. Proliferation of short-range nuclear missiles continued as international conflicts encouraged maximum militarization.
If Canada and US were controlled by their respective military, no doubt Canada would also want to be able to discourage or even enable military nuclear conflict.
Such is the case in India and Pakistan, where border conflict and invasion is a factor.
The US arming Israel as a proxy in the Middle East and as a response to Soviet military support in the conflicts following the Six-Day War, in which Egypt and Syria were humiliated by Israeli air power, has led to the militarization of the entire region, fueled by huge oil money influx into primarily militarized states.
Militarized North Korea is threatened by China and South Korea. Iran by China, Israel, US.
So yes, there are more WMD's everywhere and more military action and less diplomacy.
Go back to the beginning of the USA and you will see that periodic wars both between the US and other nations and within the US itself have been frequent, destructive, and scorched earth tactics were frequently used.
Still with me?
Muslim extremists. Variations on anti-colonial sentiments have been going on since Gengis Khan and probably prior to written history. The region has been invaded, raped, plundered, and occupied since Alexander the Greek. The Persian Kings Darius and Xerxes established large kingdoms. The Ottomans managed the region with sophistication for hundreds of years. Arab nationalism responded to European colonialism.
My personal opinion is that the Saudis redirected reactionary Islamic fundamentalists away from Saudi obscene excess and tolerance of American military protection on holy land towards the US itself. By funding Osama on the conditions he would leave Saudi Arabia alone, they provided the support that Osama needed to take advantage of our vulnerabilities and the media.
The very term itself "terrorism" indicates that the methods are incomprehensible and monstrous. It implies we should be very afraid and that there is no safety. Justifies dismantling the Bill of Rights? Atypical warfare is more accurate, but no zing!
Europe, in my humble opinion, is far more vulnerable to atypical warfare due to its huge population of second-generation colonial immigrants, whose ghetto-ization and lack of employment provide the perfect volatile mix for urban mayhem.
In my lifetime there has been perceived threats to the American government including Black Panthers, Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement, hippies, anarchists, Communists, and Militias.
So, I predict that the government and military corporations will continue to act in their own self-interest, including hyperbolic sensationalizing of ongoing conflicts both here and abroad.
Anybody left?
The dollar is the unit of world currency. It is the basis of all financial transactions of any significant magnitude. It has been since Nixon took us off the gold standard. Instruments of debt such as treasury bonds or T-bills are a bet that the dollar will be worth as much or more relative to other currencies when they come due. T-bills are extremely liquid. China has even more accounting problems than Japan did. Until it actually has sound financial institutions and accounting systems, it cannot operate like a financial giant simply because it holds a lot of T-bills. Its Maoist past, which absolutely penetrates down to the level of a village, makes even the basic understanding of capitalism, not just production and sales, a challenge of enormous proportions. It can produce but it cannot run banks.
I may be wrong and we may wake up to a disaster but I would bet it would be our own military and corporations that would turn us into refugees before any WMD, jihadist, or T-bill.
