-- The United States will collapse under the burden of its financial crisis and fracture into six parts, a Russian political analyst has predicted. --

[SNIP]

Igor Panarin, a professor at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian foreign affairs ministry, said the economic turmoil in the US had confirmed his long-held belief that the country was heading for extinction in its present form.

In an interview with the Russian newspaper Izvestia, he outlined how the US would divide along ethnic and cultural lines.

They are: the Pacific coast with its growing Chinese population; the increasingly Hispanic South; independence-minded Texas; the Atlantic Coast; a central state with a large Native American population; and the northern states where – he maintains – Canadian influence is strong.

Alaska could be claimed by Russia, he said, claiming that the region was "only granted on lease, after all".

He said the country's break-up would be accelerated by rising unemployment and Americans losing their savings.

"The dollar isn't secured by anything. The country's foreign debt has grown like an avalanche; this is a pyramid, which has to collapse," said Prof Panarin.

Public dissatisfaction was growing and was held back only by the election and the hope that Barack Obama "can work miracles", he said. "But when spring comes, it will be clear that there are no miracles."

Prof Panarin, who has written several books about "information warfare", also forecast that America would no longer be "the world's financial regulator", instead replaced by China and Russia.

Nikita Kruschev (look it up) vowed to bring down the US one piece at a time. This was in the '50s. He claimed that the US would adopt communism one piece at a time and we wouldn't even see it coming. Another tactic of the USSR was to encourage hatred and derision of our elected oficials. To encourage this, many of their top professors 'defected' and came to teach our youth (the baby boomers and beyond) at our colleges. The main focus of this plan centered on derogatory images of our Presidents, spouted so faithfully by these  gullible (hippies, liberals...) kids from the colleges. Most in California. The phrase "Jimmy carter, inept Peanut farmer" was coined by a russian operative. Caling Nixon a 'crook' (before watergate ever happened) was from there also. Watergate just played into it and helped it stick. 
There have been many articles from Russian/ Soviet "experts" since the '50s which have claimed to foresee the 'end of the US'. This would only happen if we ignore what is before our eyes and let it happen. I suggest we all re-think how we see our country and our government. "Is this really my thought, or have I been influenced?" "Why?' I sincerely hope that our new-found interest in our country and it's officials continues to be as intense as it is. I also hope that some of you research into what I'v said. It's not a conspiracy 'theory'. It is a statement that WAS ACTUALLY made and a threat that has actually been carried out, it's just been so long, people do not recognize it anymore.
