The banking collapse is causing a financial collapse which will expand into an unemployment collapse which cause even more collapses and downfalls. This series of collapses is also picking up speed, like an avalanche. As more and more collapses occur, the effect will reach farther and farther out, across borders and around the world. Eventually, people with nothing to lose or those with no hope will become criminals, terrorists, militants and suicide bombers.
More and more violence will become obvious on local, regional, national and international levels. Home invasions will increase as dope using criminals seek a way to pay for their narcotics and support their addictions. Some people will turn to robbing banks and stores to try to feed their families. This surge up in crime will really begin to show itself when unemployment benefits start to dry up or disappear.
Some people or gangs who are involved in criminal activities will turn to overseas sponsors to earn money by committing terrorist acts or increase the amount of narcotics that they try to bring into our country. Many years ago both Irish Republican Army personnel and former French military personnel turned to bank robberies to get a large amount of money to fund assassinations and/or terrorist operations. Same thing could happen with this economic mess only on different scales and done by different groups. It wasn't that long ago that Libya's dictator tried to pay a black gang out of Chicago to use a Stinger missile to shoot down a passenger jet taking off from O'Hare Airport with the promise of a million dollars in small unmarked bills. Such terrorist acts are always a possibility but they become more prominent during bad economic times. Sort of what our nation and world is headed towards right now. In a year or so, we should see all sorts of strange things happening. Riots, food shortages, lack of overseas shipping, oil shortage, electrical brownouts and blackouts, heinous criminal actions and so on will probably be commonplace in the next 12 to 24 months. Just sit back and watch as things slowly unravel.
