This theory or conjecture holds at least two risks:

1) I have been sensing the orchestrated collapse for 23 years, so there may be a few tricks and lucky charms still played. One thought on this is they are about ready to bleed the last drops, what would the rush be, maybe they stage 3, 4 or 5 more cycles of doom and totally exhaust all opposition in the process ... this is an antique game played that has gone hyperbolic, but has not concluded.

2) While it is a cool fantasy to extract back from the money changers, there is potential for a new culture of total morale hazardists (tm) and I don't want to exchange one oppression for another. It is fine if people genuinely tried to maintain a mortgage and send their bank jingle mail keys back and walk away, yet, to me, quite another issue to intentionally default. Under that premise, then the next time one feels slighted, they may, through their own conditioning, rinse and repeat this now accepted behavior.

A start is to peruse books like Healthy Money Healthy Planet, and take it a step at a time, in logistical sequence, something perhaps, like:

*) Read Cra$hmaker: A Federal Affaire

0) Bring every US soldier home and teach them to repair the failing infrastructure or arrest corrupt politicians, judges and corporate executives
1) Disband every alphabet soup agency
2) Dump IRS
3) Dump Federal Reserve
4) Tax US corporations or any corporation based upon US sales
5) Use a sales tax only on discretionary items to make up shortfall
6) Legalize all drugs and freeze the funding source of money laundering and covert operations
7) Slowly watch the impact of the first 6 steps and create the next steps
8) Figure out if we want to replace the executive branch, courts and congress since Ron Paul and a few others would be so lonely after step 0 above.
9) Let the other nations decide what they want to do in their sovereign zones ... and use the fancy haarp and other undisclosed weapons to protect the borders until things evolve across the globe ... perhaps instituting that everyone running for the temporary management replacement for congress has a son or daughter in the military concurrently with the parent's single term ... I really would not want a military at all, AT ALL, like Costa Rica, but these issues must be addressed ....
