The United States of America will cease to exist on February 5th, 2006

I know most of you will dismiss this drivel as paranoid conspiracy theory. I admit I am paranoid - a healthy paranoia, I like to think - and that I believe in conspiracies. But being paranoid and believing in conspiracies when such thoughts are amply backed up by evidence is not an indication of insanity. After all, just because something is the product of a conspiracy doesn’t make it fictitious. And the "official" theory about 19 Muslim hijackers on 9/11 is just a conspiracy theory too.

I hesitated to even write this, since I believe almost nothing can prevent the scenarios I describe above from unfolding. Never before in my life have I hoped so much that I am wrong. Perhaps this is a warning so that people I care about can prepare themselves. I sincerely apologize if I frighten some of you. That is not my intent. But past and present facts support - no, demand - my hypotheses. Maybe if the government is listening (FBI, Carnivore, are you there?) they will realize that some people in this country are paying attention and won’t be fooled. They might be dead, but they will not have been fooled. Maybe that knowledge will dissuade the government from committing the most atrocious acts imaginable. Or maybe if something "big" does happen anyway, the people who read this will be more inclined to question the "official" story.

So in summary, there are many clues from which to predict the future:

The U.S. government has demonstrated its willingness to kill large numbers of Americans in the past, in Oklahoma City and on 9/11.

The U.S. government is desperate to maintain its empire, at any cost.

The U.S. is facing imminent economic collapse. Considering the Bush Administration’s penchant for preemptive action, it will act to protect the empire before rather than after this collapse occurs.

Osama bin Laden quite possibly died in 2001. It’s therefore equally possible that the various "warnings" purportedly from him over the years, occurring at politically opportune moments for Bush, are government fabrications. After all, who "analyzes" and "authenticates" these tapes?

Iran is purportedly planning to establish an international oil trading bourse that trades in euros instead of dollars. At present, nearly the entire world oil trade is conducted in dollars, creating a huge market for American dollars. Anything that might reduce the hegemony of American dollars is an enormous threat to the empire.

Peak Oil is coming soon and countries are already aggressively posturing for future control. Since the U.S. does not have the financial resources, like China does, to compete for the stuff in the marketplace, force, which it has in abundance, is its preferred option. Iraq has already been conquered. Iran is equally crucial.

Above all, the empire needs labor. It cannot pay for it. So what better way to create a massive pool of voluntary and involuntary laborers than to destroy the economy? Between desperate volunteers willing to do any job to survive and plenty of newly created criminals rounded up to be slave laborers, the empire will have all the labor it needs.

Bush is facing growing calls for impeachment. Numerous investigations of underlings are underway and may eventually lead back to Bush and Cheney, if allowed the time to reach their conclusion. A "terrorist" attack would preempt these investigations.

The Republicans are facing difficult times ahead at the election polls. Again, a new "terrorist" attack and a new war would solidify their positions. Of course, "postponing" elections would also protect them.
