Man oh man, this whole end-of-empire show is sure getting suspenseful, wouldn't you say? Every day, it seems, another layer of FUD is unveiled. So many things are thrown at us from so many directions, repeatedly, it's mind boggling. Where does one begin to sort it all out?

Is it all by design? Yeah, probably.

What are the odds that so many world changing events could be stacked up at the same time, back to back, from let's say, about 2019 to 2024 or so, in just five short years?

I will concede that many, if not most, of the existential threats before us are man made, but what are the odds that the convergence of these events are organic? Oh, I guess it could happen, but with so much power and wealth at play, my hunch is human intervention is helping to compress a millennium's worth of cataclysm into just a few short years.

For the benefit of whom? The sponsors of these events, of course. It's pretty obvious.

But, just when things seem like they can't get any more fudistic, something like this, from Harvard University, pops up:

A Funhouse Mirror?

New York turning to Mormonland:
In reference to Gaza and the holocaust Israel is inflicting upon the Palestinians, this sarcastic analogy by Caitlin Johnstone about giving New York to the Mormons really hit the spot with me. Depending upon the time we are looking at in history, most any religious group could replace Mormons in her piece, we would just have to change the location as necessary.

Beautiful morning here in the Portland/Vancouver metro area with scattered high clouds and 63 degrees.
