Powerful players have rapidly accelerated the collapse of the only system that allows them to maintain power.<br /><br />We are living a 'Let them eat cake' moment. In America the Biden police state shows its colors and consolidates power. <br /><br />https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/6/23/us-seizes-three-dozen-websites-used-for-iranian-disinformation<br /><br />The endgame accelerates. Biden did not drop a MOAB like Trump did at the stat of his term to show that his shlong still works. That is an improvement. But:<br /><br />A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the<br />scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The<br />frog asks, “How do I know you won’t sting me?” The scorpion<br />says, “Because if I do, I will die too.”<br /><br />The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,<br />the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of<br />paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,<br />but has just enough time to gasp “Why?”<br /><br />Replies the scorpion: “Its my nature…”<br /><br />Politicians always want more. Of everything.

Europe? Korea? Japan?<br /><br />Our Western Civilisation needed to stop seeing itself and acting as an Energy-Nany Civilisation - since Stanley Jevons in 1860.<br /><br />Instead, it should have treated its citizens as Energy grown-ups.<br /><br />The problem with Energy is that in the process of controlling Energy resources to a Nany-Social Engineering plan, <b>the resources will always deplete executing the plan before the end of the plan</b>.<br /><br />In 1905, when coal in Britain started peaking, our Western Civilisation needed to explain how "<a href="https://the-fifth-law.com/pages/press-release?ugo=/2021/06/four-scenarios-for-catastrophic-future_20.html" rel="nofollow">Energy, like time, flows from past to future</a>" - not burning oceans and mountains of fossil fuels explaining how E=mc^2, Fusion, wind, solar, EVs, Hydrogen - work or not.<br /><br />In 1905 the world population has been 1/4 of today's, or less.<br /><br /><b>Our Western Civilisation failed to understand the essence of Energy-and-Control</b>, and behaved in exercising Control much worse than how Control understood in the middle ages - burning and destroying all fossil fuels reserves in the process - for good.<br /><br />Wailing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
