--{ The Rape of Things to Come:
"Army SSI Reports Straight-Faced, No Charm,
On Scary Scenarios to Raise the Alarm,
Their Crystal Ball Says, 'No, Not a Test,'
There'll be Economic Chaos, Civil Unrest,
A Litany of Perils, Fear Undiminished,
The Ball got Cloudy Before They Finished,
We'll See More Scenarios Before They're Done,
As They Fan the Fear Flames of Things to Come,
Of Martial Law Enforced, All-Alarming,
Well-Marketed Strategy, Predictive Programming" © Alan Watt }--
