Brief Government Shut Downs Occurred Twice Before

Wilcock is an interesting character. It has been said he is the reincarnated Edgar Cayce. Striking physical resemblance.

While I think Wilcock is valid, I read his work w/ considerable discernment as it often comes off a bit much like a conspiracy theory site for my comfort level.

Last night the US Congress reached agreement on the budget bill at the last minute before the shut down would have occurred. This will be one of many highly publicized battles the newly elected House of Representatives’ conservative Tea Party congresspeople will have w/ the rest of Congress as they try to pass their extreme legislation. They are currently trying to eliminate long-standing, popular & needed programs such as Medicare. Their tactics are likely to backfire as the majority of the US public supports these programs.

When Bill Clinton was president the Republicans refused to negotiate w/ the rest of Congress & we had a government shut down 2 times.

There is a very broad range of what is considered essential government services that this type of shut down doesn’t apply to, so there is no need to be concerned about the stability of the US government if this happens. It is just ugly politics & will always be resolved quickly as Congressional representatives’ offices are immediately flooded w/ calls & emails protesting this when they pull this tactic.
