U.S. preparing for the possibility of money riots

A new report by the U.S. Army War College talks about the possibility
of Pentagon resources and troops being used should the economic crisis
lead to civil unrest, such as protests against businesses and
government or runs on beleaguered banks.
"Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the
defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend
basic domestic order and human security," said the War College report.
The study says economic collapse, terrorism and loss of legal order
are among possible domestic shocks that might require military action
within the U.S.
International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn
warned Wednesday of economy-related riots and unrest in various global
markets if the financial crisis is not addressed and lower-income
households are hurt by credit constraints and rising unemployment.

If food riots are likely we should avoid rioting & look to direct democractic movement like the landless peasants movement in Brazil. The USA has so much land, rather than rioting our movements,unions,cooperatives &assemblies need to help people reclaim it with local native americans, most land rightfully belongs in the sense of good custody to the people by natural right.
Instead of preparing for riots those in government should prepare to give back the land to its people & help prepare direct democracy, we dont need riots or bloodshed, we need to sort out our planet before its too late & that cannot be done by dictatorship or by decisions from above, there needs to be sustainability
