ZetaTalk: What They Fear
        written Sep 7, 2004 
    
    We have mentioned that the establishment fears losing their perch on top
      of the pile, and being reduced to the stature of the common man. They
      fear, primarily:
    
      - A sudden panic in the masses to the extent they leave their jobs and
        the infrastructure collapses as maintenance is not done on power grids
        or water mains, and security over corporate assets is not maintained.
      - Opportunistic looting which catches like wildfire when it becomes
        apparent that security is lacking, the police or private security forces
        distracted by their own panic.
      - Military sent in to quell riots becoming brutal, as they have frankly
        been trained, creating in the populace a rebellion beyond panic that
        sets the common man against the establishment, a class war seething
        under the surface boiling and not settling.
      - Stock markets collapsing under sudden sell orders in an effort to
        liquidate cash, and banks unable to meet the demands that bonds and
        savings accounts be liquidated, so the financial system is no longer
        considered functional and squatters rights begin to prevail as the
        mindset of the masses. 
      - Military units or militias becoming breakaway units such that rogue
        states are formed, the world in the main becoming a no-man’s land where
        the safety of the elite cannot be assumed or assured.
      - The wealthy elite, and those in power when the big lies are exposed,
        becoming targets of those who have long resented them, with more than
        focused looting and retaliation unleashed as starving masses of humanity
        become organized. 
      - The power of the elite no longer recognized when it is reduced to
        paper ownership no longer enforced by the courts and control over police
        and military forces no longer listening and consisting of paper money no
        longer having any value in a barter driven economy. 
To counter these possibilities, the establishment has desired a firm date
      when sudden and unexpected Earth changes would occur that might throw the
      populace into a sudden panic, and the ability to close stock markets and
      banks in such an event, and to impose martial law to prevent rioting.
      These steps were viewed as stopping the erosion of power and wealth by
      substituting fear of punishment in the minds of the populace
      for their sense of self protection and opportunistic greed. Well timed
      martial law would supplant what the elite fear with a controlled setting,
      where:
    
      - Travel would be prevented, and jobs attended to, by force,
        with workers returned to their jobs by gunpoint if necessary.
        Thus the power and water utilities would work, and food distribution
        would continue.
      - Looting would be reduced greatly by curfews and travel
        restrictions, and the wildfire effect would never ignite.
      - Brutal military techniques would not incite rebellion as torture would
        occur behind doors, not in the streets, and the organization needed to
        incite rebellion unable to occur due to curfew and travel restrictions
        and selective arrests of likely suspects.
      - Access to stock markets and banking would be controlled, so that the
        system never reaches collapse due to liquidation demands it cannot meet
        and the populace feels they must continue to honor their
        bills and obligations, as the monster lives and has not died. 
      - Spearheaded from central commands, martial law instituted to encompass
        all possible militia units would prevent breakaway by exposing such
        maneuvers. A unit on its own can breakaway, a unit required to check in
        and coordinate with others finds this option exposed, and thus
        inhibited.
      - The infrastructure of power and water utilities intact and supporting
        an intact financial system, the political and thus the legal system is
        likely to prevail and not collapse, and thus fear of the courts could
        be used to prevent retaliatory acts against the wealthy elite. 
      - The status quo continues, paper money and deeds and stock ownership of
        corporations still has the strong arm of the law behind it, and the
        common man sees the fist above them, uneroded, and continues to walk in
        the ruts of their workaday world, despite new dangers such as
        earthquakes and a tottering and wobbling Earth.
For martial law to succeed at all, there must be a problem extreme enough
      to be recognized as a rationale for extreme protection, such as the
      continent rent in two by earthquake, a tidal wave tearing away all the
      cities along a coastline, or a wave of disease threatening to wipe out the
      country if not controlled by quarantine. And this threat must be real,
      else support for the strong arm of martial law would not be in place, and
      erosion would occur quickly. Thus, martial law imposed just ahead
      of such disasters would succeed, but attempts to impose it during
      such disasters would likely fail as the components of martial law are
      subject to panic too, and disrupted communications and lack of reassurance
      on the outcome feed that panic in the very control system the elite counts
      upon. Once again, the Catch-22 for the elite, as without a firm date on
      changes likely to incite panic, they cannot stop the wildfire they fear,
      but a firm date will not be forthcoming unless the public is informed
      about what is coming and likewise has the date, and thus cooperation with
      any martial law maneuvers serving the elite over the common man would be
      reduced. There are Two Scenarios
      possible: a controlled panic where the common man is aware of what is
      happening and can listen to their hearts as to how to proceed, or the
      uncontrolled panic the elite fear.
