"There's less than 50% chance that the United States will exist by the middle of this century. And that is actually a good news. If the previous century was shaped by nation states as the primary actors of international law. What is very clear, at least to me is the central actors, locus of power and economy and control, is shifting from the nation state to city state. Like Singapour, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles... California in some level is independent". Saffo went on to give examples of recent decisions of Governor Schwartzenegger in direct opposition of President Bush policy: by not sending the California National Guards to protect the Mexican border or California's accord with the UK on climate change. Unthinkable! "City states are the centers because they are large enough to have impact but they are small enough that everybody sees the collective consequences of individual actions".

Hi I just received the seeds I bought from: bepreparednow. net They were only $44.99 with free shipping. It has 27 varieties of NON hybrid seeds and it is sealed in a Mylar Bag. It was the best deal I found on the Internet and the variety is great.
This is nothing new. The conflict between the states and the national government has been going on since the founding of the republic. It is not unthinkable that a state governor would refuse to follow the wishes of the President. It has happened numerous times in the history of the United States and it will happen again. Shared sovereignty is the very definition of a federal system of government and this was the system given to us in the U.S. Constitution.
Its obvious what we call united states or america will not exist within the next 50 years; not even 20 years. War, disease, femine, natural disasters, and ultimately the complete breakdown of the US dollar and banking system. The dollar wont be worth the paper its printed on. Gold and silver will be the standard. Oil will be of very little value as the use of combustion engines will be no more. Even the water you wont even want to touch it, smell it or bath in it. Its coming. Look at past worlds
