I don't have the benefit of having personally experienced your past postings, and thought rather that people would be interested in going over the things you had once said. But I see that many are acquainted well enough to wish you to be silent. I don't. However, I'm not aligned with the doom porn many seem to be stricken with, so I was in observation-mode, until now....
But I find lists 'inviting'...
1. November 2024: A Divisive Election
All elections are divisive by definition. A highly unexpected outcome is always the case for everyone whose choice of candidate fails to win the position. Generally speaking, everyone votes for the candidate they want to succeed, so a loss registers as a 'surprise' for most of them.
2. January 2025: The Inauguration Unrest
US partisan politics has become increasingly (and theatrically) combative, in the ugliest "soap opera/world-wide wrestling" way. They attack in a public relations battlefield over personalities and tropes... of late some parties (ahem) are spectacle-oriented, and "appearance"-driven (by their own admission.) Thus political "unrest" becomes a media production... and 'activist' journalists ensure the appearances bear whatever 'message' they wish to 'insert' into the construct... with ample editorial support.
During the height of public "disturbances" in the recent past, the National Guard actions were only invoked to further craft an image... they served no remediation to the actual events. Will it be different now? I reserve some doubts because Governors are mostly 'political' as well... and they don't answer to people first... it's ALWAYS party first. They even take "oaths" to that effect.
3. Spring 2025: Diplomatic Breakdown
Peace is neither "robust" nor "fragile." Peace is a state of affairs. That has not changed ever. Only the players who foist threats control "peace." Diplomatic relations are actually not "between" states any longer... it's between business interests, and economic intentions. Our relationships with China and Russia are about cabals of power within those countries and in our own... the people are largely extraneous to the 'diplomatic relations.' "Military posturing" is for appearances only. It evokes spending... (ahem, again.)
4. Fall 2025: The Brink of War
The world, as advertised, is ALWAYS on the "brink of war." (Unless you can educate me about a time when it wasn't.) Any modern-day war will hinge on economic developments and actions... NOT military "posturing." And since the only monetary monopoly on the planet is The Bank... we will always know who started it, funded it, and will "win" in any case. Public division will be a construct presented by the gatekeeper/narrative generators... they will employ activists and their "journalist" ilk to foist a narrative which we will be confidently told "everyone believes."
5. Early 2026: The Spark
The "spark" will be economic, regardless of the "appearances." It is the only thing that "business" demonstrably cares about... I suggest it will be about a "cyber attack" not an explosive conflagration... although such a "military" act is within the "narrative crafting" stage-work of the parties. I reject the notion that "we'll go nuclear" as 'likely'... unless partisanship has degraded to the point of cult-idiocy. I doubt we're there yet.
6. Mid-2026: Aftermath and Survival
Should there be multiple nuclear engagements, we're done. There is no "coming back" as a civilization from using the 'kill everybody/suicide' button.
Feel completely free to ignore this post... I expect you should.
