Countdown to Doomsday: Wyoming wants their own Army and currencyhttp://rt.com/usa/news/wyoming-bill-doomsday-85-327/
QuoteStockpiling ammo and building bomb shelters is so Y2K. Preparing for the potential destruction of the United States of America, lawmakers in Wyoming are laying the groundwork for how to handle a doomsday scenario with a new piece of legislation.
Wyoming's House Bill 85 has already passed a voice vote among state representatives, and now lawmakers will have a few more chances to look over the act before it could become a law. If the bill passes further House and Senate votes and is brought to the governor, the State of Wyoming could soon have a plan in writing to remediate any economic chaos, catastrophic fallout or massive uprising that would ravage America.
Under Bill 85, the State of Wyoming would install a continuity task force to be on the ready should America experience an economic or political collapse. It would lay the groundwork for governing the state's citizens through anything from a shortage in the food supply and a disruption in energy distribution to the complete crumbling of the US political system.
According to the legislation, lawmakers want to be prepared for the forthcoming "potential effects of the rapid decline of the United States dollar," which the state could counter by creating their own local currency in case of emergency. Also discussed in the bill are the possibilities of a "situation in which the federal government has no effective power or authority over the people of the United States" and the notion of "a constitutional crisis,"
In short, Wyoming wants to be ready for the end of America.
"I don't think there's anyone in this room today what would come up here and say that this country is in good shape, that the world is stable and in good shape — because that is clearly not the case," state Rep. Lorraine Quarberg, R-Thermopolis, told fellow lawmakers, reports the Star-Tribune. "To put your head in the sand and think that nothing bad's going to happen, and that we have no obligation to the citizens of the state of Wyoming to at least have the discussion, is not healthy."
The state's Department of Homeland Security currently has plans set to handle a statewide emergency, but a complete upheaval of the American way of life poses bigger problems that Wyoming might not be ready for. In that case, say lawmakers, legislation needs to exist to protect Wyoming not just from local disasters, but from national ones. Under this bill, politicians will put forth a plan that would ready a state-wide militia to keep Wyoming under control in case of a federal emergency: the bill calls for examining how to implement a state-wide draft and the means of acquiring an aircraft carrier.
Should the bill make it through two more House votes, it would then have to pass the Senate before being ratified — if it makes it that far, of course. Wyoming is one of nearly a dozen states that have tried to establish plans for a replacement for the dollar in case of emergency in recent years, though those legislations have failed to materialize to law.
I might be slightly biased but I imagine if anyone should know about total collapses, takeover and control it would be republican law makers. These people may have too much time on their hands.
Watch our State copy.
Where they gonna get their guns and ammo when the collapse comes? Or the materials to make them?

They can "borrow" a nuke from Iran or North Korea. Either that or go back to swords, shields, and spears. Maybe bows and arrows.

Ex wife lived in Wyoming most of her childhood. Her dad and I (she didn't live with her dad there, but her mother) used to joke since it was one of them 'square states', they should put up a fence along the border and drop all the convicts in.

The ancient calendar of the Central America natives shows the end of time will come in December of 2012.
This may be a prelude of things to come. No country that has installed our type of government been able to escaped the political greed that grows from it. We have fought three wars and on the forth on to change other countries type of government to ours. We have lost all of them. It is not recorded where any country has changed their type of government without a civil war. It is possible that some people reads history and see the things to come.

Have you ever looked at the type of people that established this government?
Religious fanatics: English convicts: Slave traders: (Jefferson, Washington) etc...........
We should have hired the Chinese to build a Great Wall around US.

Probably a good time to buy stuff on NO PAYMENTS OR INTEREST FOR A YEAR plans.
Take all the tax filing extensions then blow off the final deadline.
Of course, if there is a rapture, I'm sure there will be plenty of IRS agents left to pick over my estate.

There's that, there's Spain in the late 70s after Franco died, and the English system has changed quite a lot in the last century or so. The House of Lords is pretty much done for at this point. I wouldn't actually be terribly happy about that were I a British citizen. There's something troubling about the lower house having literally absolute authority. Not that the Lords have been able to do much since the early part of last century when their power to block bills was changed to a power to delay bills, also nonviolently. Most of the moves away from monarchy in the last couple hundred years have also been nonviolent. It helps when you manage to impoverish the monarch so they have to come to you to beg for money to pay the bills.

No problem on the car tags. There is a rumor that the oil companies are getting ready to give a free car tag with each fill up.

Don’t forget of the war fought between two countries in the United States in 1860 between two complete countries of the north and south where 1 out of ever 4 soldiers was a casualties,. The war with England in 1775 the aftermath of each of these made drastic government changes.
In fact the archives will record us as a warring nation comparing us with the Roman legions of the city of Rome. The policies of our security separation by oceans has ended as we have move the field of battle to include the women and children as enemies in our quest for establishing governments of our liking. One mad man with a red button can bring the civilization as we know it to an end in less than a 30 minutes. Have we changed since the AOF was written? Read them.

No point; only looking in the mirror at the image of our past lease we forget
You keep driving forward, using your mirror as a guide to where you're going instead of where you've been and you're bound to run into something. A tree, a pole, a dog. Gotta' glance forward sometimes just to keep perspective. :)

Hopefully this article is legit.
I was the ghost writer for a piece on preparing for Doomsday, and I gotta tell you, some of those people are salivating at the prospect of western civilization going to pieces. The client rejected it because it wasn't doomy enough. He wanted an article on preparations for the end of the world, but when I suggested preparing for more common disasters like tornadoes, floods, long power outages and the like, he said that was OK as added material, but the focus had to be on SHTF or TEOTWAWKI. Yes, the actually use these acronyms!

Our solar system is subject to the eons of time. It will burn out or explode. Man studding the skies has predicted numerous dates of which this could happen and none have been right up to the present. But some where in time a person with a fourth sense may one of these days predict the ending of our solar system and be right.

you do realize that the Mayans did not predict the end of time, the world, or anything, right? They only recognized a pattern within the stars, based a calendar on that pattern, and didn't bother creating a repeat calender since it would be a couple of thousand years in the future when the end of that pattern cycle came.
Oh, and the civil war was not between two countries, since the confederacy was not a country, it was a confederacy (individuals gathered together as allies for a common goal) of states.
NBC's morning news program had a story about the TEOTWAWKI folks today.
It was pretty sad. They were quoting their own stats.
They will flock to the polls tomorrow to push for the candidate they think will end us quicker.

My history books show that the South was organized the same as the North except they enjoyed a plantation life style never before or afterwards duplicated except by the royal house’s of Europe . The North was organized by a body of immigrants set on destroying the life styles, being duplicated, of the royalty families of Europe . Both had their own president, their own governing body, printed their own money and raised a army under the same condition as the North. Their defeat came about by Sherman’s burning of the plantations of the South.

The idea of the confederacy wasn't to operate under one government, but for each state to be independent. As a confederacy, joined together in a single cause, they fought under a unified banner, with a single leader, but the ultimate goal was for each state to be self governed. It could perhaps be loosely called a country of it's own, their ultimate plans were not of that vein.

That is the same as this government is operating under with fifty independent governments with
different laws. They sure are not united states.
Custo, don't confuse him with facts. Counties are countries, states are planets and the Southern convict immigrants were actually aristocracy while the Northern immigrants declared war on them out of jealousy of their magnificent lifestyles. I read it somewhere and I know its true.

Wrong. You can visit a state as long as you like with your own car tags. If you enter 'gainful employment' in that state for a period of time, it is assumed you are living there now and you must purchase tags in that state.

There must be a residency component also. I know a couple people who live up north almost to Kansas border, work in Kansas, but still have OK tags since they live here.

Got the information on the raid at the airport industries on cars with out of state tags. Many residents were buying cheaper out of state tags. just assumed it was illegal.
When the computers began to be available an officer could insert the tag number and in seconds have resident, liability insurance and if the car had been stolen.
