I have thought for a few years that this would come about, and if you'll pardon me, I'll say it yet again.

1) The USA is close to bankruptcy
2) The only chance is to get rid of 'money' altogether and go to some sort of 'electric dollar'
3) Create or allow a terrorist incident in the US
4) Declare that the various Executive Orders are in effect
5 Boom--instant police state
6) There'd be a use for the prison camps/detention camps
7) Lots of free labour available--do it or get shot, your call

Hell, I was called crazy then and I'll be called crazy now. Water off a duck's back. "Say goodnight, Gracie." "Goodnight, Gracie."
