8 Walmart bomb threats - is this the beginning?

[SoCurious]

As I read the headline of this article http://www.sott.net/articles/show/248873-Bomb-threats-lead-to-evacuation-of-8-Walmarts-2-in-Kansas-City-area the thought struck me that this could be the real beginning of revolution in the USA.

The pressure is building, the tinder is overdry. Walmart is a natural target. Their employment and labour practices are pathological in the extreme and there must be hoardes of people who have suffered at their hands. Those who like shopping there probably have some beef against some other major corporation, the "too big to fail" banks, Koch Industries, GE, General Motors, on and on, or certain professions.

The bomb threat, even without an actual bomb, is a major disruption but it could also lead to copycat threats and consequently more pressure building until someone or some people decide that threats just don't do the trick. I don't think it will take much more abuse from the PTB before the anger of so many people becomes uncontainable resulting in massive mindless violence and mayhem. And this is when we shall finally see the full power of the state being used against its own.

I must say I'm very relieved I don't live in the US.

The incidents are heating up here in the US, but I think it will still take more for a revolution, but considering the presidential elections coming up, talk of QE3 in Sept, possible war with Iran, higher food prices, zombie attacks, and shootings, I expect things to heat up after the presidential elections...I guess we'll see.

If people are deprived of their Walmart fix there very well may be a revolution.

In all seriousness, I don't know who is making the threats but I'm pretty sure that the beneficiaries of these threats will be the police state. Regular people are gonna get a good taste of searches, harassment and groping just to go shopping.

That's my impression as well. Wal Mart is a pretty convenient scapegoat people can trample on (triggering more policing in the end) without actually changing any of the root causes that allow entities like Wal Mart to exist. Things like a global economic culture of externalizing the social and environmental costs of production can't be solved with bomb threats. Plus it just inconveniences a lot of people who-- let's be honest --are too poor to go shopping elsewhere.

I'm not so sure it could be a beginning of a revolution, Richard. Most folks that shop at Wal Mart could care less about what the government is doing and I highly doubt they even understand the larger picture.

OTOH, the 'bomb threats' could certainly add to the manipulation of the average Joe Wal-Marter and create the 'need' for these type security stations: http://www.sott.net/articles/show/222033-Mobile-Prison-Guard-Towers-Coming-to-a-Walmart-near-You-

I'm not saying it is either. For all we know the hoax could have been perpetrated by a police force intent on getting extras funds for itself. It was just a thought that popped into my head when I saw the title. There is, however, still a high probability of revolution due to dissatisfaction with the PTB - 10 million mortgages down the tubes - general dissatisfaction with how the high and mighty never find the inside of a cell - the pressure of an over policed populace - the disregard for the ecology - and so on and so on. The never ending lies of the political bodies, more war - there is so much for people to feel really aggrieved about. Beneath the surface something will be stirring in large numbers of people and all it will take would be an incident of this nature to escalate into widespread and polarizing violence.

In the last session the C's mentioned 2012 is the year of revolution. The general feeling in the forum was "bring it on! we need a drastic change". I have to say this frightens me. Violence and violent revolution are terrible things and I'd be a lot happier if we could rather edge our way incrementally towards a peaceful society in harmony with Cosmic Mind/Prime Creator. I realize this will never happen while the predators remain in charge and to my limited mind the only alternative is traditional revolution of the French kind. I can only see that it is something like this hoax that will set matters aflame - but then again I may not be thinking creatively enough.

You mention that you don't live in the US - I do and trust me, the majority of people in the US are only concerned with making it to Friday, drinking their Bud Light and watching whatever mind-numbing broadcasts that may be showing on their televisions. Granted, there are a few folks here and there that faintly mumble about their 'general dissatisfaction' but very few are willing to do anything about it. And, it will be that same majority who will believe the PTB when they tell them that the latest cometary impact(s) are terrorists from 'over-there' and will be willing to do whatever the PTB tells them to do.

It's unfortunate, but it certainly appears to be that the sleeping masses here are too critically mind-numbed to really care what is going on.

1984,

Your comments are on the mark. It's the same general malaise here. There is a but, not a big but, but a but anyway. [ :) ] People seem to find it easier to comprehend the inequities of the 'system' more easily than ever before which would indicate that we're on the cusp of a general awakening. In the US it may take a situation akin to Greece and Spain economically and this I suggest could happen sooner than most suspect. Otherwise, yes...what you say is true. (shakes head ruefully)

(no buts about it)

I find it strange that this followed the 'Colorado Shootings' whose suspect had his apt booby trapped with bombs. They evacuate 8 Wal-marts and then 'clear' them with in 2 hours. It takes 20 minutes to walk from one end of Super Wal-mart to the other.

All I'm saying is http://www.baynews9.com/content/news/baynews9/news/article.html/content/news/articles/bn9/2012/7/26/exclusive_rat_scurri.html I smell a Rat...

How are people seeming to find it easier to comprehend the inequities of the system? What criteria are you basing your comment on?

 

[SoCurious]

Sorry for the delay....went to bed when I lost connectivity. My comments are based purely on personal experience. If certain topics come up regarding the many activities of the PTB, very often my input is greeted with curiosity and a few "yesses". Just 3 years ago this would not have been the case with the majoity of these people. There is a correlation - seemingly. The business owners simply will not accept what I have to say - I guess they have too much invested in the competitive paradigm. The sad thing is that of those that listen, very few seem to follow up on their own to learn more. (actually, just one that I know of has)

The bombs threats can be an excuse to produce fear, and to put TSA in every store in the USA. I don't think it is the beginning of a revolution. How many people are aware in USA? 1%? You do not do a revolution with 1% of people. Fear and revolution are two things. Fear produce violence. Revolution produce change. I think so.
