Malthusian Catastrophe
A Malthusian catastrophe (also called a Malthusian check, crisis, disaster, or nightmare) was originally foreseen to be a forced return to subsistence-level conditions once population growth had outpaced agricultural production. Later formulations consider economic growth limits as well. The term is also commonly used in discussions of oil depletion.
Based on the work of political economist Thomas Malthus (1766–1834), theories of Malthusian catastrophe are very similar to the Iron Law of Wages. The main difference is that the Malthusian theories predict what will happen over several generations or centuries, whereas the Iron Law of Wages predicts what will happen in a matter of years and decades.
An August 2007 science review in The New York Times raised the claim that the Industrial Revolution had enabled the modern world to break out of the Malthusian Trap,[1] while a front page Wall Street Journal article in March 2008 pointed out various limited resources which may soon limit human population growth because of a widespread belief in the importance of prosperity for every individual and the rising consumption trends of large developing nations such as China and India.[2]

Even with the Oath Keeper and the like,do you really think Americans with handguns can overcome tanks and bombs and who-knows-what weapons they have in their arsenal?
Seriously,I admire your patriotism,but get real!
As Alex said,"We're screwed!"

giving up already? going to roll over and play dead? would you be willing to be a slave rather than die?
sounds like you just gave up, and have no more hope.
i would rather die fighting for freedom, rather than keel over.
Hell, we may be on the losing end so far, but its far from over, and if there's a way to win, the PEOPLE will find it!

I would say it's possible IF enough soldiers in the army joined the revolution, we know there's people in the marines and in the army that know all about this, let's hope there's enough of them.
They would need the support of other countries too in the long run though, they couldn't stand against the whole world by themselves forever, that's why it's important for people everywhere to wake up to this.
Who knows what will happen in the coming years between 2012, aliens, revolutions, depopulation, disclosure, some kind of intellectual or spiritual paradigm shift.. we'll just have to wait and see, interesting times.
