Political science professor at the University of Texas at El Paso Charles Boehmer points out that “The military was not called out during the Great Depression….”

So why is the military planning on how to crush civil protest in regards to the current economic crisis (see this, this, this, this, this and this)?

Is it because the theft – via “bailouts” and other hanky-panky by Treasury, the Fed and others – of hard-earned taxpayer wealth is

The other potential explanation is that the military has been told that this financial crisis could be much, much worse than the Great Depression.

So which is it? The obviousness of the theft or the severity of the crisis?
