Great Depression II, if it doesn't happen now, would still
be just a matter of time.
Think about 1929. There was plenty of rainforest,
plenty of fish in the ocean, plenty of oil in the ground.
It was a man-made, artificial, paper crisis, a confidence game.
When the problem isn't simply paper, and isn't simply psychology
- when there is a Dust Bowl in the Bread Basket from global
warming, when the coasts are flooded, when the oil is gone-
then Great Depression II will make Great Depression I look like
a tea party.
The small-scale suicides of 1929 will be a more
broad-based social phenomenon. Much of the human race will
develop a death wish, maybe not even realizing it.
Nations who have oil, what is left, will have power,
will have riches. Nations that don't have it will be freezing,
go begging, begin starving.
That is why Al Quaeda and terrorists are not really the
biggest threat to worry about. The superpowers will eventually
get into conflicts, particularly with Napolean-complexed,
mobster hitmen like Putin, and faux-cowboy, mobster
hitmen like Bush. There will be more leaders like them.
They will become functionally insane, partly from the burden
of their own depravity.
Unfortunately, nations tend to gravitate toward "strong-men"
when they are hurting economically. Germany was suffering
high unemployment and rampant inflation before Hitler arrived
on the scene.
The large superpowers will get into war. The war will get out-of-hand
and go nuclear. Partly because so many people subconciously
wish for it, just to put an end to their misery.
All this is really rather obvious- not prophecy so much as
common sense. The chances of avoiding it are extremely
slim. If we do not wake up to how destructive are leaders
like Bush and Putin, then the chances are non-existent. |
