Will there be Green Zones here after the revolution?
I am reading about "Emerald City", the monument to Smirk in Baghdad that is costing us a billion dollars a week, that is really the only area in Iraq that's livable. I got to wondering.

Suppose, as looks likely, the 4th Reich retains power for another cylcle through a combination of lies, slander, and election theft - just as they did in 2002 and 2004. Also, it appears that Smirk will be the first American president (maybe the first head of state ever) to lose three wars, if indeed he invades Iran. So even the Didiots will stop voting for them, but that won't stop them from retaining power. Anyway, at some point, the rabble will get tired of being occupied by a hostile power, of having no vote, of reading about CEO's getting 8-figure bonuses while 10's of 1000's of working people get laid off, and so forth. Like the people of Iraq, and like the founding Fathers, we will revolt. I believe it will start in OH, when a long line of black voters decide they won't be denied. But regardless, at some time and place it will happen.

Is the GOP plan to set up some Green Zones at various places around the US, and let the battle rage outside? Is Iraq being observed by the PTB, to see if it can work on a grand scale? If this scenario comes about, will the government-run media be able to create its own reality, running shots of whatever Bush is in charge at that point flying from one Green Zone to another for photo ops, while explosions rock just outside camera range? Maybe Iraq is not so much a war to win as a prototype for how the BFEE want the US to be run. They've come close in NOLA recently.

What do you think?

1. Can't put the whole population of 300 million in secure compounds . . .
Someone's got to be on the outside. Who do you think that'd be, and how meaningful would their television broadcasts be to the vast majority outside the gates.

Naaah . . . the 'Licans aren't making such plans because they "know" the populace won't rise -- not unless things get much, much, MUCH worse -- which I don't see happening.

2. By the time things get bad enough that the vast majority of people realize
just how bad things are and decide to do something about it, it will be far too late.
