As for Migeru's looting point - that's pretty much how I see it. They want to make sure they're top of the heap as everything unravels. This also explains Blair's fascination with 'terrorists' and attempts to set up universal monitoring of location, movement, communications and ID in the UK. It's not the terrorists they're worried about. It's what the rest of us are going to do when we (collectively) work out what's been going on.

Unfortunately with proper government, a soft landing could easily be possible and the current looming train wreck could at least have been mitigated - perhaps even avoided.

bingo!
