Most of Us Will Eat Expletive deleted. Until the Day We Die
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he ruling elites in the United States have been committed to a foreign policy of American hegemony for over a century; this has been especially true in the decades following the end of World War II. This foreign policy of global hegemony, to be actualized by overthrow, assassination, war, murder, torture and occupation as required, has been and remains a fully bipartisan affair. Both Republicans and Democrats, insofar as the parties bearing those names are central institutions of power in the United States, embrace this policy; very often, Democrats have been notably more aggressive and ruthless in pursuit of this end than Republicans (always excepting the current war criminals in charge of the executive branch). I have detailed this bipartisan policy of murder and conquest in numerous essays . . .

I would just remind you roccman that life is a Expletive deleted. sandwich. The more bread one has, the less Expletive deleted. one has to eat.

If we are going to get fExpletive deleted., let's be busy and distracted as possible instead of waiting around for the galactic Expletive deleted. to arrive. You seem like the kind who would rather die in action than roll off the sofa and Expletive deleted. himself anyway. If things turn for the endurable, then you can decide if you wish to become as someone here called "a bliss ninny", although I doubt that you are prone to that.

I am hoping to cheer you up a bit, but bordering on kissing your Expletive deleted.. Even so, notice how I stay out on the cheeks and away from the middle. This takes years of experience.

I have been ready for tsthtf for some time now, but I have come to realize that saying about Rome being built in a day is the same as it not being destroyed in a day.

Time my friends. Lots and lots of time is what takes place between the start of an empire to the hight of an empire and then to its collapse.

The us is playing out like it started, but only in reverse. as we reverse certain forces will attempt to hold on to whatever power and affluence they can manage. Things will get harder, lines will get longer, and the people will mosey along. The cyclic cycle of existence is not one that can really be circumvented

I think though as we continue along this path we will see more and more Skinner type approaches to hurding the cattle towards a path that better enables the elites to hold on to what they have.

I don't expect things to get to bad until I get to old to do anything about it, and I plan to die with whatever dignity I can muster.

I am joining the service because of this knowledge and because I don't see any point in trying to do anything to fancy with my life, when in it won't matter long term anyway.

The end of days are not at hand gentlemen, just the slowing grind of the cog as tries to avoid coming to a halt.

SeldomSeen: "The global corps and governments that serve them will not be able to survive the energy deficit of the future. Their very existence is at stake and their complexity and massive appetite for energy and resources will be their undoing. Their impulsive response is to grasp for more power, more control, more surveillance, more police state actions. As the control they desperately seek starts to slip from their grasp.

Things will get more Orwellian more surreal, until the whole power system starts to wobble, heave and crack. It will eventually fall face first in to the dirt, and that my friends is what makes me an optimist."

Thanks for that, you just made me feel better!
