Governments Fear Civil Unrest in Ongoing Economic Downturn as Military Begins Preparations

Increasingly, various elements in all levels of government are growing concerned about the possible likelihood of significant civil unrest as the ongoing economic downturn continues to only worsen. With some economists and observers now predicting official unemployment numbers to near 10 % nationally, with unofficial numbers likely to be nearing 25 % on a local level which nears the numbers during the worst of The Great Depression, steps are being taken to have military resources at avail for local and state law enforcement agencies should trouble grow to a point where it grows beyond their scope and own resources. The difference would be that these military forces would not be just of the National Guard or Reserve variety, but also active duty military personnel from all five branches of the armed forces. God help us, if it gets to this point, this nation and its long history and heritages of following laws and the Constitution would be seriously imperiled and a suspension of all civil liberties and citizen rights could eventuate in short order.

Perhaps the seemingly outrageous predictions of this Russian academician are not so far fetched after all...
