Episode 3: Dead or Alive
If you were inclined to write a dystopian End Times novel, it's too late, because it's already playing out in real time. No one is going to pay for something they can just get by going to Reuters and reading the scrolling news feed.
The Plan is: Maintain Status Quo At All Costs
The article linked above goes through the history of how U.S. police forces became militarized. Let's not forget, the Baby Boomers were extreme hippy agitators during the 1960s. They, above all, are highly familiar with the revolutionary side of civil unrest and now that they've morphed into Depends-wearing Etraders fretting over their 401k balances, they have taken proactive steps to ensure that the "status quo" is maintained:
Militarization of police forces was just one aspect of this entire Orwellian lockdown program. Post 9/11 the aptly-named "Patriot Act" was signed, allowing all manner of civil liberties to be abandoned in the name of Bush's "War on Terra". In the meantime, the NSA was building the largest database in human history of recorded "activity", fully indexed by "agitator". Not to be outdone, the Department of Homeland Security, created in 2002, was stockpiling billions of rounds of ammunition. And just as luck would have it, troops were brought back en masse from Iraq and Afghanistan, which arguably was the only good news out of this whole fiasco. And of course, Obama was training up the *new* Skynet-run air force on how to use drones to bomb the shit out of anyone deemed a "terrorist".
Sure, the militias stockpiled ammunition along side DHS. Little wonder there have been ongoing ammunition shortages for four years now. It's anyone's guess how this all plays out from this point forward, however, I've always said that trying to predict anarchy, is the very definition of impossible.

Episode 6: "The Revolution will not be televised (much)"
Social mood peaked a long time ago
Suffice to say that having growing geopolitical acrimony in every corner of the globe, domestic riots, environmental catastrophes, an Ebola epidemic, missing airliners, all while Wall Street is busy cramming the last dozen or so profitless IPOs up the asses of Dow-worshipping Etraders, makes for interesting spectacle, indeed. Apparently, the Fed and Skynet didn't get the memo from Prechter that Social Mood is supposed to drive markets, not the other way around. Clearly, the Dow sugar high is fraying in every direction and the only people still fully under its thrall are the Fauxtard geriatrics.
Dow Prozac Overload
Someone didn't get the fucking memo:
