Uptick in negativity.

I am too young to guage this for any longer than 6 months, but has there consistently been all these articles and whatnot predicting the Iran War, false flag terror, the crash of the economy, etc. By consistently, I mean consistently since 2002 (5 years).

Lately, I have noticed a slew of articles about how our government has sunk to the ultimate levels of corruption with programs like SEAS, false flagging (as said by Ms. Sheehan), corporate control, Halliburton, an imminent economic crash etc...

While it is true that collapse is immenent, these articles will make it sound like it's in a few months just to garner readership.

However, collapses like we are reading about don't usually happen on a scale of months. They happen on a scale of years, sometimes even decades.

Wars, government corruption, corporate consolidation of power, energy shortages, terror attacks are so ubiquitous within civilization, that those with any degree of intelligence see it fit to merely extrapolate these past trends to predict the future. The real error made is that these things are predicted to occur too soon...



IMO, the collapse already started long before I was even born. It's just been very long and slow, and only recently has it begun to speed up a bit.
