John Galt, besides being a financial annalist, took some time to study the Continuity Of Government plans currently in place. He is also a student of past takeovers by tyrannical governments.


Go back and re read the story. Note what 99% of the people did when faced with a reality check. When they could not access their bank accounts, their cash became worthless and they lost their jobs, they panicked. Very, very few were prepared to deal with a situation where there was no electricity, no food, no fuel etc.

What did they do??? What people always do...they kissed the governments ass and did what they were told. They went along just to get along; many turning into snitchs just to obtain a few brownie points with big brother or to obtain a few extra food stamps.

Sure there will be some small pockets of resistance; but if you think the US military will not do all in it's power to eliminate them...just ask an Indian, a Southerner, Randy Weaver or a survivor of Waco.

"The time for war has not yet come, but it will come and that soon, and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." Gen. T.J. Jackson, March 1861
