    Bush is calling an emergency meeting and Europe is calling for governments to put liquidity directly into the banks making the banks owned by governments. With techonology at its current state and the United Nations trying to become more relevant how long before United Nations has access to governments and direct control over banks and the economies of the world? Is this a prelude to a global currency and diminishing of nationhood status paving the way for a real one world governments? Thoughts?

    It certainly sets it up for this. I also believe that there will be many in this country who will not put up with that. There will be a rebellion that will make the 60's look like Disney World.

    Well, imagine that! Already many US assets are owned internationally. Including infrustuctor. Now because of fire arms ownership in this country when the UN flexes its will over the US a revolt could occure and be bad enough that an international force will come in and set controls on the citizenry and then blame christian principles as the cause of wide spread killing and rebellion and we will then be hunted down similarily as the Islamic extreemist. Just now they will be called Christian extreemist. The possibilities.

    Not the UN the USA military under UN authority as well as Russian, English, French, and others. I don't really believe any of this will happen but it is not as far of a possibility as it once was. I believe for money many americans will sell out. We've already sold our assets.

    There is no chance that our Military will go against the American people under some UN mandate. It may happen to other countries because of the liberal mindset that is anti-nationalism. But it will never happen in this country ever.

    For one the american people are becoming more liberal and want government to handle all their problems. For another people will sell their souls (it seems) for money and things. For another the US military may feel that these people who rebel against the financial system imposed by the multi-nation committees will cause further problems by their activity threatening stability. In which case they can brand rebels as decenters and terrorist. We've already lost much of out liberty through the Homeland Security Act. Now combine that with finances.

    They may not have a choice. I remember when I was in basic training they showed this film where a soldier would not follow orders to kill some civilians that they thought were supporting the enemy though they didn't show the direct evidence of this in the film. The soldier then was shot for disobeying a direct order. Now I was a christian at that time and I rooted for the soldier that gave his life. But do you know what our drill said? This is what happens if you don't follow direct orders this is a consequence of what would happen in war. I was flabbergasted at the time. I kept quiet. So, you may be wrong in your assumptions. Some I'm sure will not but they may be put down like a horse with a broken leg.

    Sorry I spent four in the United states Marine Corp. I never heard of nor saw anything like you just described and I doubt it happened.

    baloney. We are called on to defend the Constitution. That so called training you supposedly received is unconstitutional.

    yes we are called upon to defend the constitution. but how many of the people I served with or you actually knew the constitution? And I'm not lying though you think it didn't happen it did. I was in the 3711th at Lackland AFB when it did. It was part of the PFE training the Air Force has for basic. Now there were Airmen who did know the constitution but far more that really didn't or could even care less. Look at Abu Graib. These people followed orders and only one came forward with problems. We are not in an enviroment yet where this could be problematic but if the world changes enough it might be.

    Not if the world gets bad enough. The south wanted to susseed because of states rights the fed wanted to increase its authority. How different is that from many americans (including servicemen) want to sepearte themselves from a Global government and the gobal government wants to increase its authority and civil war breaks out.
