Our nation is simply not geared to quickly feeding and warming large segments of the population on a rapid-response emergency basis.  Hunger, cold, and desperation and deprivation have not yet hit with the full force that long-term unavailability of food and shelter may bring in the aftermath of this \u201cFrankenstorm.\u201d<br \/>\nAnd\u2026another \u201cstorm\u201d brews.  For many weeks now, there have been indications that the outcome of the Presidential election only days away may trigger significant civil upheaval.  It ain\u2019t just \u201cTwitter talk,\u201d which has definitely been there for some time, and can\u2019t be ignored for reasons recently stated in this blog.  Before Hurricane Sandy hit, law enforcement was already quietly planning for such a post-Election Day contingency.  Law enforcement agencies don\u2019t do that unless they have solid intelligence indicating a genuine risk.<br \/>\nBe on high alert next Tuesday and Wednesday, particularly if you\u2019re in metropolitan areas. And, if you\u2019re in the areas devastated by Sandy, you don\u2019t need me to tell you that it might get more dangerous before it becomes less so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to CBS, reports of looting in the wake of Hurricane Sandy are \u201cscattered\u201d: http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/8301-504083_162-57543677-504083\/hurricane-sandy-aftermath-scattered-reports-of-looting-in-areas-of-new-york-new-jersey\/ In some info attributed to Glen Beck, it may be uglier than that.
