They've already done it. The US economy has packed up shop and moved to
China, where unlimited numbers of people are willing to work for 10

most of the USA's debt, and can stop feeding Bush money anytime they
like, which will mean the final implosion of the US and Bush declaring
martial law (see above). The US doesn't even have much agricultural
output these days. We are totally useless.

Oh, I'd nitpick that last paragraph. There are plenty of *small*
manufacturing
plants and shops with a truly huge output. They thrive because they make
smaller production runs, often producing one or two very complex units,
and they're highly profitable. China does not control "most" of the USA's
debt -- BUT -- I think we could be headed for rocky shores because foreign
nations are subsidizing the current real estate boom, and I haven't met many
of my fellow Americans who know this. As to martial law, I don't know
about that, but I suppose *any* President has the power and ability to do
so. As to agricultural output, we are still the breadbasket of the world,
and I can cite statistics, though that's pretty lame.

. China does not control "most" of the USA's debt

Top Ten US Debt Holders
Japan $712B
China $194B + Hong Kong $53B = $247B
UK $164B
"Caribbean Banking Centers" $69B
South Korea $69B
OPEC $60B
Taiwan $59B
Germany $54B
Switzerland $40B

China's population is expected to grow from 1.3B to 1.4B in 20 years.
That is 100,000,000 more mouths to feed from a land mass of which is
only 10% arable and declining rapidly from desertification.

Agriculture in the US will be looking mighty good in about 10-15 years.

Unfotuntely half of the Chinese population is going to starve anyway,
but thats the result when big business takes control of EVERYTHING.
Modern dictatorships and "communist" states are run by big business.
Where profit becomes more important than life itself.

A population like that is a breeding ground for disease, especially
when half of it lives under poverty in slums.


Keep plenty of guns, plenty of ammo, and your shortwave radios and
transmitters, they are the only thing that will save you from dangerous
regimes.

Train often, watch your six, keep your powder dry and you should be
alright.

I don't think that handguns will do much good against a modern army
equipped with the latest weapons. Bombs will, however, especially if
delivered by bombers who don't care if they get out alive and indeed who
expect that they won't. A bunch of Muslims with artillery shells and
plastique have run circles around the Israeli and American armies,
arguably the best equipped and trained fighting forces in existence
today. If you're willing to strap a bomb vest to your body and blow
yourself up in the name of freedom, then talk about fighting a
dictatorship. Granted, that takes more commitment than keeping an AK47
handy, but it's been proven to work. But even more important is the
power of information and propaganda, that's where shortwave comes in.
It's hard to jam or cancel, so if you have a protected position you can
set up a transmitter and broadcast stuff to your comrades all day long,
and the enemy can't do much about it. Shortwave transmitters in the
Middle East broadcast many hours a day of calls to jihad. There's not
much in the way of English language broadcasts from these stations,
which makes it hard to appreciate their impact, especially since they're
only audible for a few hours a day in North America. But in Arabic
they're quite powerful.

Handguns? Where was there mention of "handguns?"

"run circles around"??? Now who's being the propagandist?
If the US were to "take the gloves off" there would be
NOTHING left in Iraq or Afghanistan but a thin layer of
glass, ash, and sand. However, the US is patient to a fault
and will unfortunately pay for that with more casualties until
those countries can stand on their own without imploding.

If you're willing to strap a bomb vest to your body and blow
yourself up in the name of freedom, then talk about fighting a
dictatorship.

Oh please, do enlighten us all. Name one successful coup
where suicide bombings have overthrown the dictatorships?
Or are you suggesting suicide is "freedom?" ...or perhaps
the blowing up of a market-full of noncombatants as "freedom?"

But even more important is the
power of information and propaganda, that's where shortwave comes in.

....and biased posts to newsgroups.

It's hard to jam or cancel, so if you have a protected position you can

Wow, and you believe that? How little you must know about
modern technology and weaponry.

I can assure you that these stations could be taken off the air if
it is so desired. The since the '60s, the US military has worn the
leash of DC politics around its neck. To take out propaganda
engines such as al jazeera may provide temporary edge in the
info war, such advantage would likely be offset by the resulting
galvanization of the opposition.
