$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pops', 'A')nything is likely, the deal is to rationally consider the various likelihoods and what we should do in the most likely scenario. Don't you think?

You don't want to just consider 'the most likely' scenario. You want to consider all likely scenarios. Evaluate each potential action over the result applied to each probabilisticly-weighted scenario and pick the optimal path that reduces the aggregate risk and maximizes the utility of the outcomes, or something like that.

But yours is better than worrying about crap like the thread subject - unless you are doing it for pure entertainment. I mean, anyway - let's say there was a 50% chance there will be no election in 2008 - so what ? I wouldn't do a thing different.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pops', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', 'I')f you don't think it is remotely likely, then you are obviously sleeping. Do you remember the Gulf of Tonkin, Operation Northwoods or 911 ?

Anything is likely, the deal is to rationally consider the various likelihoods and what we should do in the most likely scenario. Considering there have been many much more dire situations in the past and elections have mostly gone on as first envisioned I kinda think this one will as well. Don't you think?

We are entering the most dire times in human history. Never before has the human race faced a depleting energy source, especially with 6.5 billion people. We are entering uncharted waters. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Instead of powering down and ruin the economy ( it's ruined anyway ), the US has decided to fight for the last remaining oil reserves on the planet.

Come on Dino, I suppose you have read a few of the things I have done in the real world over the last several years.

In both the most unlikely and what I feel the most likely scenario I am in a much better place than I was 5 years ago because I did evaluate the those many scenarios and acted accordingly.

How about you?

The best investment is in yourself, pops. Then in your family and then community. That's good risk mitigation for a wide variety of scenarios. I do risk mitigation for a living, trust me. Maybe you agree?
To be honest I don't know what your deal is, but I remember the pictures you posted of your nice family. Everybody's situation is different and I don't like to write essays about myself.

We are, but you have to connect the dots. False flag, PO, NWO, Cancelled elections, Federal Reserve, Central bankers are all inter-twined.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ferretlover', 'I')MHO, I am not yet ruling out a coup d'etat by Bush/Cheney. Yes, I know I may be worrying needlessly, but, gosh darn it!, if that is Not what they have in mind, why all the Executive orders that pave the way for it? Of course, I could be wrong..I am hoping Very Hard that I am...

Bush/Cheney could be issuing all the executive orders for the next president... Oliver North and Co. initiated lots of "continuity of government" stuff too, during the 80s, but Bush Sr. never instituted martial law. Still, I agree, it's still possible...

I posted this last fall: We Are the Enemy

I make the argument that the next terrorist attack will come from within (as if the last one didn't) - the new threat will be "domestic." It was kind of a nutty proposition at the time, but already we're hearing a lot more about how domestic terrorists are a greater and greater threat - we have HR 1955, we have incidents such as these, Luxury Homes Set Ablaze

Cryptic Notes Left At Banks,
and we have more and more random shootings and massacres. How much is false-flag and psy-ops, and how much is "real," is hard to say, but it's clear that the next enemy will be homegrown - I don't see how else normal Americans will allow their neighbors to be shipped off to camp. But what will be the tip-off, the big kablooey? It's hard to say.

False flags, NWO, stolen elections, blah blah blah. You know what? I don't care, I just don't care. The crap pales.

Can you grow a bag of onions? Can you grow enough potatoes to last a year? What can you cook from scratch? How long can you do without electricity or gasoline? Do you have an ample water source? What if you lost your job, tomorrow?

Now that we're sliding down the cliff face, I'm surprised at how angry I am. I thought I'd be smug. I'm just pissed.

HHHhmmm... false-flag? psy-ops?
Doing as the Russians are doing (testing the waters, ie: response times with the fighters)
Seeing if anyone is paying attention?
I still wonder why the AF was grounded that day last year, and why Cheney was in CA overseeing that fake nuclear attack practice.
And, why did Halliburton get that 300+ billion dollars for the camps?

Obama lama ding dong doesn't concern me . Just another shmuck who found his calling in politics. Its his angry bitch wife and the 5 ton chip on her shoulder that scares me. She is just barely on a leash like a good little bitch atm . The minute she claims the alpha female spot she will cause more racial anger with her ranting and raving then you can imagine. We can't impeach the bitch either .
Seriously after watching her posturing and body lanaguage . I wouldn't blame Obama lama ing dong for going out smoking crack and Text deleted. Per COC: “3.1.1 Nudity, partial nudity, or adult content: This includes any explicit images as well as language describing sex acts or erotica.” -FL

won't happen. The election will go through as planned, because regardless of how the election goes, it was all decided at least 10 years ago. We live with illusion of choice.
