'The New Norm' = The End

Hello people of ATS.

This is obviously mere speculation and opinion, but thanks for reading through this.

This 'new norm' is the end.

It's the end of the country/world you knew.

If there's a thought of things ever going back to the way they were, get rid of it.

This constant assault on all of us, through, protesting, rioting, covid and i'd guess something else is in the offing soon, its a deliberate attack on all of us.

The covid lockdowns and rioting have put a nail in the coffin of small business.
Most businesses can no longer afford to stay open, and the ones that try have to be boarded up, due to the rioting.

They tell people to wear masks, most of which protect from nothing, but yet are mandatory.
Your told dont go to church, dont go to work, dont go to hang out with friends, but yet rioting and protesting are not only allowed, the are being encouraged by politicians and the MSM.

People are going to find themselves in a dire situation as foreclosures on homes are going to sky rocket and evictions on rental properties will go up.
What are people to do? No places for employment, no jobs to go back to.
What's a family to do? Become homeless?

We hear rumors of food shortages, and with winter coming, a situation like that will be a disaster.

This constant push, using covid as an excuse for mail in voting, should clue people in, that there's an agenda at work.

I've often read about TPTB, Illuminati, NWO, abd there goal to "enslave' the human race.
I don't know about all that, but something is happening in this world.
I do know it's not to benefit the average person.

Just wanted to say this out loud, I don't have solutions.
Take care of yourselves, your family, your friends.
Don't wait for ant politician or MSM to tell you how to think or feel, decide what's best for you and yours.

Look out for each other and try to help when possible.

Rant over.

Yeah, it's a madhouse.

That feeling one gets when these things happen.

Its surreal.

Like Satan trying to warp and imitate reality in a twisted way.

But i agree, this project is too big.. Too global. They want results from this.

Don't let the influx of information and disinformation from the internet get to you. Focus on your local community, city, or town and family.

My biggest problem with all of this is what will be the end? If a group gains power of the whole world, what challenge will be left to satisfy their want of the game if you will? Ruler of the whole world will be a very boring job when there is no opposition.

They will have power but relegate themselves to be figureheads and pencil pushers that do nothing. What then? 'Hunger Games?' 'The Gamesters of Triskelion' on a grand scale? There will be no peace. They will have to make fake wars to entertain themselves, elimination of some of the population will be just a side effect.

Do what you can to help those around you and stay safe. The future is too fluid to see where we are headed. It will take a long time if we can go back home again.

This was all so clearly the plot, the plan and the end game from the beginning that I was just astounded at how few people saw it.

I'm astounded at how few people see it even now. Some people whom I thought were fairly intelligent are screaming for the gov't to take away more of their civil liberties, screaming in support of political movements and philosophies the avowed ends of which are to do away with those very people.

I can only think of a passage from the twelfth chapter of Romans:

For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

I am astounded. I have concluded that the world as we knew it is gone. Perhaps, though, that world was only an illusion hiding the world we're seeing now. Perhaps it's not that that world has come to an end, but that the thin veneer that kept us thinking that people were sane, that we were all free has been peeled away and we are seeing the world for what it is.

Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

Thus it has been for ages, the wicked encouraging the wicked while hiding the reality from those looking in from the outside on their wickedness. The raw bones are being exposed. We all have a choice now: lay down and be a part of the problem or stand up and be different, count for something positive.

The former is initially easy but carries a heavy long-term price. The latter is hard but brings its own rewards in the form of being true to one's self as well as the hope that things will eventually be put to right.

Look at Nietzsche. For these, nothing matters but to accumulate power, to be the Übermensch. Beyond that, there is nothing more than the grave and decay - so say they. Power and the ability to destroy that that power gives.

They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon. ~Revelation 9:11

Both words mean destroyer. This is what the spirit of this world is, a destroyer. There is a long-game, an ultimate plan that will be fulfilled, but inherent nature of a multi-dimensional construct means that that construct has to be passed through a process of redemption and be fixed.

Hold on! It's fi'n' to get real.

I know things look bleak, some days worst than others. The numbers are on our side, but cutting through the cloud of deception is tough. One tip for when feeling lost is to picture where you want to go? what kind of world do you want? Goals and dreams can change along the way, but with some kind of direction in mind it helps move closer to that direction.

One may look for culprits in the fiasco that is modern civilization and rightly so. What I see however is a human inability to grapple with the overall results of our own success as a species.

We have out grown our capacity to organize our responses to the emergent challenges manifest from the complexities of our own existence.

Success does not necessarily guarantee future success. By not managing our own success we are left with the strong potential of no ''future'' success, or in the eyes of those of us who live now, failure.

Every civilization falls at some point. The question I ask myself is whether or not a single country can be called a civilization. Myself, I'm seeing a revolution smoldering. Lots of smoke, little fire. Unless the rioters can organize into an army and oppose the government through strife, it won't amount to much more than the Viet Nam protests.

Give all the power to the many, they will oppress the few.

Man a little bit of historical repetition and suddenly its the nd of the world huh?? I would suggest relax and don't panick.

Maybe it's the age difference, but my outlook is despite global paradigm shifts or even extinction level event type of things, people still survive. Who really cares if your one or not. I mean a friggin plesiosaur or closer relative or something survived dino extinction to entertain tourists in Scotland.

The megalodon simply shrunk down into the great white, and alligators and komodo are practically the same as their Jurassic relatives with minor size reductions. Event he mammoth simply shed its fur and shrank a bit and exist as normal elephants.

Yea I mean sure the sky will literally be falling over the next, couple of years. It just the fire and brimstone from the bible though. Yes, it seems the sol system passes through this chunk of space every so often and which is what gives our various cultures through time the stories of not only fire and brimstone, but all out space and air war complete with nukes if we are to believe the mahabharata written thousands of years ago.

What difference does it make??? Just SURVIVE! Or DIE trying....?

Kinda hard to do since we have been told for years as goes California so goes the rest of the country, were getting this from both coasts and now into fly over country. It would be ignorant to not be concerned. I suppose when it spreads to Canada you will become concerned.

Sorry man, i respect your opinion and all that, but i stopped reading after this bit.

I'm trying really hard to see the positives in all of this, for myself, and with others.

All the knowledge I've learned over the many years, in how to be more self sufficient is paying off right now. I'm focusing more on my spirituality.

Many others around me are learning more about being self sufficient as well.

And I've heard many people talk about how you can't believe the news anymore, not trusting the government, and not relying on tech so much.

All positives in the middle of so much negative.

I posted about this months ago.

The worst is yet to come financially. I'm watching our customers file for bankruptcy or cancel projects daily/weekly. You cannot sustain an economy when nearly all sectors of the economy are in dire straits. People's real earning power has been severely curtailed and tossing them a $1,200 check isn't the answer.

Shutting down the world's largest economy for months will have long term and in some cases irreparable harm. But we're all safe now, right?

The Fox is right.
If this was a highly contagious, deadly airborne virus, most of us would be dead right now.
An airborne virus would be sucked right through these masks that people are taking such great comfort from.

I personally know one person that has tested positive with the virus. He was admitted to the hospital in early April for pneumonia. He tested positive one day later for COVID. He passed away 14 days after admission. He had several co-morbidities (he had just finished chemotherapy for cancer and was extremely obese with breathing troubles).
His wife lived with him, slept with him, his son was in a pickup truck with him the day before he went to the hospital. No one that had contact with him got any symptoms. This was before we all wore masks. I work with the son and he had close contact (no masks) with approximately 15 people here at work (me being one of them). Not one case... not even symptoms here.
It is not nearly as contagious as we were led to believe. It is not as deadly as we have been led to believe.

Shouldn't your repair say 'IN MY OPINION' ? Since you fixed my statement.
And yes, of course it is my opinion. Very few people are posting peer reviewed papers that they have authored here on ATS.
