America's Midwest is being neglected by the elite, and so it is losing people. Orange = losing people. Mapping 60 Years of White Flight, Brain Drain and American Migration
Governments deliberately create economic crises so that they then have an excuse to privatize public property and reduce spending on the poor.
"The financial oligarchy ... has embarked on an unprecedented economic coup d’état against the people, the ravages of which include extensive privatization of the public sector, systematic application of neoliberal austerity economics and radical redistribution of resources from the bottom to the top...
"A major scheme of the financial oligarchy... has (since the early 1980s) been to deliberately create budget deficits in order to justify cuts in social spending.
"This sinister feat has often been accomplished through a combination of tax cuts for the wealthy and spending hikes for military/wars/security programs.

"David Stockman, President Reagan’s budget director and one of the main architects of his supply-side tax cuts, confirmed the Reagan administration’s policy of simultaneously raising military spending and cutting taxes on the wealthy in order to force cuts in non-military public spending..."
Poverty in Ireland.
"In many ways, Ireland is ground zero for the austerity-driven asset grab now sweeping the world."
When Britain ruled Ireland, "The British got Ireland's food exports, while at least one million Irish died from starvation and related diseases, and another million or more emigrated."

"Los Angeles Airport Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department took part in an 'active shooter drill' on Saturday, October the 2nd 2013 at L.A./Ontario International Airport.
"According to a report by the San Bernardino Sun , written by Doug Saunders, one such shooting scenario had an “armed man” shooting “three people” before officers locked down the scene.
"Shockingly this was nearly an identical scene to what unfolded on Friday, November 1st ( All Saints Day) at LAX. A scene in which, one TSA officer was shot and killed, with three others wounded, leaving a total of 7 injured at
the Los Angeles International Airport."

"For at least two decades, Israel has directed its overseas agents to destroy the government of Iran by destabilizing its society, assassinating its scientists, bombing its military establishments and laboratories and strangling its economy.
"After the Israeli agents successfully pushed the US into war against Iraq in 2003 – literally shredding its complex secular society and killing over a million Iraqis – it turned its sights on destroying Lebanon (Hezbollah) and the secular government of Syria as a way to isolate Iran and prepare for an attack...

According to Andrew McKillop (Biography):
1. Any English action to prevent Scotland from becoming independent would be a land and resource grab.
2. Scotland can model itself on Norway or Switzerland.
"Neither Norway nor Switzerland are member states of the EU, which they rightly regard as a dangerously unstable Debtors Union run by the 20th century champion of European lebensraum and aggression – Germany."
Dounreay
3. Scotland is 'saturated' with nuclear weapons and nuclear-related 'assets'.
"Scotland was the Northern Fortress for London-minded strategic planners – and also a nice distance from the English Heartland."
Chapelcross in Dumfries and Galloway produced material for the London government's nuclear weapons.
Dounreay in Caithness became the second-largest plutonium storage site in Europe.
A major accident at Dounreay could wreck one third of Europe.
Hunterston B and Torness have added to the massive stocks of ultra-dangerous nuclear materials.
4. We should remember that, in order to keep hold of Ireland or parts of Ireland, the English split the Irish into nationalist and Unionist camps.
Churchill stoked the early phase of the 1918-1923 Irish Civil War.
"Gangsters and paramilitaries are always waiting in the wings."
England used the policy of 'divide and rule' to try to hold onto its colonies.

Union soldiers 1863.
How easy might it be for Texas, or Scotland, or Western Ukraine to become independent?
In 1861, the USA fought a civil war to prevent a break up of the union.
Since the 19th century, the Kurds have been trying to break away from Turkey. 35,000 people have been killed in the recent Turkish-Kurdish conflict.
In 1905, Norway voted in a referendum to become independent from Sweden.
Sweden briefly considered war.
Then the Swedes let Norway break away peacefully.

Britain put up a fight to prevent Irish independence, but eventually gave independence to the South in 1921.
Britain has used violence to prevent the North from becoming independent.
In 1956, the Russians used violence to put down the Hungarian revolt.
In the 1968, the Russians used violence to put down the revolt in Czechoslovakia.
In 1991, the break-up of the Soviet Union was peaceful.
However, the Russians have fought a war to prevent Chechnya from becoming independent.
In 1993, Czechoslovakia was peacefully split into two countries, one for the Czechs and one for the Slovaks.
Alex Salmond's plans.
A Chinese diplomat told journalist Gideon Rachman that "England would never accept Scottish independence. It would invade."
Scotland can be a model for how to handle separatism - Gideon Rachman - Financial Times - 17 February 2014.
Rachman writes: "The UK government’s willingness to allow the centuries-old union to be dissolved peacefully is a boost to the country's reputation."
Scottish independence.
However, it should be noted that the London government, and its allies, are doing everything they can to prevent Scotland becoming independent.
Scotland has strategically important waters, huge energy reserves, and important military bases such as the nuclear submarine base at Faslane.
NATO, London, the EU and the USA would be enormously keen to see an independent Scotland remaining a close ally.
The most likely outcome of the 2014 referendum in Scotland is a 'NO' vote, followed by London giving more powers to the existing Scottish parliament.
