Why do you continually equate a takeover with Armageddon? The infrastructure necessary to support the "elites" you keep ranting about will be the first thing to fall if any kind of attack, pandemic, EMP assault, or any other doomsday scenario you envision, occurs. If money becomes worthless, so do the elites. The power of those who you believe form a conspiracy is utterly dependent on the stability of our technological and industrial base. The top falls fastest and farthest whenever the base wobbles.
