The Civil War was a horrible, bloody, (and perhaps necessary), era of darkness.
The McCarthy years were a dark era in which demagogues posed as The Real Americans.
The Nixon era was thug heaven. Plain, old-fashioned gangsters, top to bottom.
The darkness we are facing now is the worst. The powerful and wealthy of the Earth seem to have banded together to gather for themselves whats left.
Countries, nationalities, ideologies, races, religions, tribal considerations have all become bullshit on a global basis.
Those who own the most, want the rest. What does that mean? It means that weve reached the time when the artificial divisions among humans has served its purpose, and those on top are getting ready to split up whats left.
Right now, it seems like the orange creature at the top of our government is in charge. Dont believe it. Hes a useful dupe who has no idea how incredibly stupid he is. Or how hes being used.
The owners of
well, just about everything
think that the time has come to do what theyve always wanted to do. Take charge and rule. You know some of their names. The Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson, the Saudis, Vladimir Putin. And there are so, so many others, worldwide, whose names you don't know. They are the owners. And they are now moving quickly to consolidate their ownership of humanity and the world while they still control the "most powerful nation on Earth."
Does all of this sound a little bit out there? Sorry. I didnt mean to lay out such a large concept in one short dose.
Nonetheless, there are those who get what Im talking about. And there are those who will ignore it. Either way, I fully expect this warning to go unheeded, as do those who own us and are in the process of trying to finalize their control.
The only thing standing in their way (for the moment) is that "Blue Wave" thing. But don't think that they will do anything and everything possible to prevent it from happening. ... And they are really good at preventing things that get in their way from happening.
(On edit: This post focuses on American atrocities only. Over the past century or so, human inhumanity has been raised to a level that brutish monsters of history could only envy. Seems that the world is becoming a crueler, more efficient slaughterhouse than it always has been.)

(34 posts)We know neither the hour nor the day, if you want a religious take. When I was born, Stalin was in power and the hydrogen bomb was first tested. The worst time in American history was the Cuban missile crisis, when all the adults around me were fearful of being vaporized. The Soviet Union is gone. Russia is not close to what it was. Apartheid is gone. The Irish Rebellion ended thanks to the courage of many ordinary people. Financial corruption is a constant in history. So are big-time thieves and assholes. All that is happening is a natural process of evil being called into the light. Do not under-estimate your power to do good and make a difference. Your many posts must have helped someone. We go forward; we do our best; 'take arms in a sea of adversity' if it comes to that. Tell the truth even if it costs you. Take care.

(9,139 posts)"I am surprised and embarrassed to be a part of the first American generation to leave the country in far worse shape than it was when we first came into it. Our highway system is crumbling, our police are dishonest, our children are poor, our vaunted Social Security ...has been looted and neglected and destroyed by the same gang of ignorant, greed-crazed bastards who brought us Viet Nam, Afghanistan, the disastrous Gaza strip and ignominious defeat all over the world ....Our armies will never again be No. 1, and our children will drink filthy water for the rest of their lives ....Big Darkness, Soon Come.
