Tired of Pretending

I’m worn out.

Everywhere I look it’s more surreal than any nightmare, worse than every horror movie you’ve ever seen. The Gulf of Mexico is filled with red tar, Corexit poisoning thousands of Gulf Shore residents, and both BP and the government using armed thugs to shut up anyone daring to speak up. In every state various government agencies keep finding ways to make it “legal” to disarm everyone “temporarily” when they most need to be armed for their own defense. It seems every large city is piling up a massive, incomprehensible record of police misconduct in the form of assaulting and murdering innocent civilians, and getting away with it. Senators talk of cutting off Social Security recipients from their own money paid into the fund, and cutting off disabled veterans from their pensions — disabled because of their decisions to start wars on lies. The President, of course, supports these efforts to fix the budget that way. And on, and on, and on.

Yeah, I suppose for most of us there is some vague semblance of things still approximating normal. Most of this stuff is kept out of sight, provided you walk along carefully with your government approved blinders in place.

Folks, the war is over. The US and many other nations around the world have suffered a coup d’état. Most citizens never noticed, but it happened just the same. We are now ruled by people who don’t know us, don’t care what we want or need, and have made plans to do whatever it takes to have their way with us. It’s too late to stop them.

This is the new “normal.” Worst of all, we haven’t yet seen the full flower of this stuff. Granted, I am utterly certain this whole thing will collapse and our ruling class will come to a harsh end, but it will be even worse for must of us, the ruled. I can’t pretend to know how it will all take place, and certainly not when, but it will be all too ugly and all too soon. I’m not going to pretend there is any hope. I suppose a few sections of the US and other parts of the West will find a way to peel themselves off this train wreck, but I can’t guess intelligently where those places will be. There are simply too many variables. Chaos is rising, and a whole civilization is in collapse.

There will be more days when I don’t post much here. Let me suggest you would better use your reading time at Sign of the Times and the likes of What Really Happened. Read it for yourself. I may find some connecting of dots now and then, and some philosophical comments, but there is simply too much evil going on at one time to keep track of it anymore. We’ll be lucky if the Internet as we know it continues operating.

Let’s stop pretending. All Hell is breaking loose.
