If there's some sort of disaster coming then the .gov has known about it for decades. That explains all the underground bunkers and FEMA camps. Either that or one will be staged given how they've waged a silent war against the American Peons-dumb em down, strip them of their wealth, get em on welfare.
They can't possibly want to save the entire population, too many people know the score. That's why there's going to be civil war and there's notthing to be done to get out from under that as there's too many people who know the score.
Race war is on the table but I see that as a diminishing threat given how more people are waking up to how we're all being screwed-nevertheless there's plenty of peons who won't let go of comfortable hatreds. Hell those might be the single biggest source of snitches. And I think more than one of you know THAT type.
Exploiting OWS crackdowns to forment reactive resistance is a possibility. Strategically it was a huge error to alienate a vast segment of the population wanting to wake up and be free because the ringleaders of OWS are puppets and stooges. The TEA Party has the same issue-and they were protesting the same bullshit OWS is-and look at them now, an integrated component of the republicrats... like OWS is going to quickly be associated with the demoplicans. This could be fatal to the militias when open warfare commences and potential sources of aid decide not to because they remembered when militia and III types verbally shat on them.
I cringe when I hear about retreats and isolated survivalist communes in the boonies. They should jost go ahead and paint bullseyes on their roofs for the bombers and drones. Furthermore, a successful revolutionary movement relies on operating in or adjacant to friendly territory. Something we really don't have. With the overall lack of political activity, no taking back dommunities and certainly little to no building of local trust on militias, it's just setting up to be a big hunt by those drones and jet fighters after open warfare starts.
Stating all that... there will be areas considered free-it's just that they won't be all controlled by militia and IIIers. You may have to trade and coordinate with essentially OWS protesters who got out of the city and managed to arme themselves and set up a group. It may be a group of illegal immigrants who just wanted to provide for their families in Mexico and find themselves not wanting to go to that FEMA camp.
You're going to run into all kinds of people banding up-from geeks and gamers to street gangs to rebel military units to, if the Patriot Movement can get their act together and stop relying on Ron Paul, some towns won through emergency recall election. Though I don't hold out much hope for that.
You can dislike someone all you want but if you want to survive, maybe even win, you have to recognize who put us all in this situation in the first place and deal with them. Settle your bullshit after the enemy is exterminated.
