Can't you just feel it? The End Is Here., page 1

Ok! I can accept that we (as a species) are putting ourselves into positions of great peril, but it has nothing to do with anything supernatural, spiritual, religious, or anything metaphysical. It is quite simply down to societal systems crumbling due to populations distrusting each other, domestically and internationally.

There is no political cure for this, for 'trust' is the glue of society, without trust, you don't have a cohesive society. You lose ethical and moral behaviour because those we entrusted act and live contrary to the ethics and morals they preach. If to be human is to be more than animal, if it is to act socially responsible in a self-sentient manner, we are very much failing, because we are abrogating social responsibility. If we do not see it in those we consider to entrust our governance, manage our industries, and other vital societal functions, what incentive is there for any of us to adhere to the societal systems?

There does not seem to be particular people out there imbiding within their nature altruistic leadership for the common good, it just seems all too cliquey, and cabal-like, each group seeking to take advantage over others, and to seek to rule. Current governments are merely propping up an antiquated system that no one wants to adhere to, they're just plastering over the cracks whilst new ones appear in greater numbers. None of their policies attend to the problems, but merely compound them, making the situation worse.

I think it is inevitable that we have to accept the thinking in current governments, that the scenario is one of failing and hopelessness, and that their attempts to 'fix', are nothing more than acts of 'breaking'...we just simply do not agree to their solutions, we don't accept them.

Governments are getting more draconian, because they see it as a way of taking charge of the situations, but in the process, they are making enemies of us all, and they will sacrifice as many as it takes to put society back to what they think it should be, whether you agree with it or not...they too, feel as hopeless and desperate as we do.

They know that they are incapable of creating a better future for the world, so all their attempts are based upon propping up the present. Their attempts are not about freedoms and liberties, but about restricting them for the so-called common good. We have all simply lost the wit and the will to work towards a better future.

Based on present reality, present situations, we will see governments contract away from the people in order to save themselves and their support agencies. The world will socially polarise, and out of the polarising conflicts will ensue. 2009 we will see social violence escalate, and even more draconian measures from governments. This will see the full conjoing of governments around the world into that which we most fear...global government...both draconian and totalitarian. It is not resonant with human hope. We will have to accept the 'new world order', or we have chaos and total anarchy. That, and only that, is the stark choice for our immediate future.
