What if I told you there are a few powerful & wealthy individuals manipulating our current hellish timeline who thrive on chaos as a way to keep us under control... Would you believe me?
The oligarchs depend upon us falling for their lies and hope we forget how to use our brains and depend upon their AI programs to think for us. We can't let that happen. Start reading and discerning the patterns. Start using your brain to rid the world of these Epstein Files parasites.
So much is being revealed right now. If Israel's genocide in Palestine and the stupidity of the American and Israeli invasion of Iran doesn't remove our blinders, I don't know what will.
I hope we the ordinary people can find a way out of this mess.
I believe we will find our way out, especially if we study the patterns of the oligarchs’ actions and work on our own patterns to defeat each move they attempt to make in the future. The only good thing that can come from so much evil in the world today is to reveal its true nature to many more human beings who still have compassion in their hearts for their fellow humans and the planet and motivate them to take decisive action, IMO.
But there is a BIIIIG change coming, because we are now smacking up against limits, to energy supplies, materials...you can extend things a bit by drilling in the Arctic and mining seabeds, at the expense of ecological damage that has already reached crisis proportions. We're told that the new oligarchs are the techbros, because that's the new frontier, the new source of wealth. I don't think it can yield much more than it already has--the mad push for data centers is partly a desperate search by the techbros for more capital and by the investor class for The Next Big Thing, but also a push for the means to have total surveillance and hence absolute control over the world's people, so they can hoard the remaining resources for themselves and either actively eliminate say half the population as a bulwark against those limits closing in, or just let nature take its course after they fence us out of the places where there are still resources.
Good observations. It's just insane to keep drilling for oil, but we're seeing it worldwide. The last "dregs" of oil cannot be left untapped according to the oligarchy. We've gotta burn up all the fossil fuels or... we lose the game? It makes no sense, but that's where a shrink or a priest could come in handy to explain the oligarchs' motivations. And the AI data bubble burst is coming soon from what I've read, so this will be verrrrrrrryyy "interesting times" to live in as they say. We can't sit on the sidelines anymore. We must all organize and make a stand or else the oligarchs will wipe us out and hog the resources for themselves.
I quite agree. Here's my stab at explaining the "makes no sense" continued pursuit of fossil fuels. 1--it's profitable, and corporations are in control. Corporations are mindless machines following their programming, which is to maximize profits. Threats to life are not part of the algorithm. 2--each one is convinced that he must "get his" before it collapses, and even if they tended to recognize "enough", new up-and-coming oligarchs have to get theirs, 3--actual decisions are made by elected lawmakers, who cannot propose anything that increases the cost of gas. Voters want something done about climate change, but they don't want to change their lifestyles, they would prefer a magic solution, thank you. Possibly one could lay out some reality and a plan for making a transition to a better world one with a downsized military and no billionaires--but it would be a hard sell as it would require sacrifice on the part of most voters in rich countries, and because it would be hard to get across if the "mainstream media" censored it, which they would.
I believe you CA, and it's shameful and sad that this select few have such outlandish influence and continue to maximize profits and their security over the interest of humanity at large.
And everyone else pays the price for their avarice
It's true--our children and grandchildren are paying the price even now as we destroy our climate and our water, land and air resources. That's why we can't stay on the sidelines--we must organize and fight the "chaos" to bring back harmony and balance to the natural world.
well said, we have to do our part for future generations and preserve the earth and its' natural resources as much as possible before it is too late. Or else, the world our children and future generations inherit will be one of even more pain, suffering and extremes of weather
Thanks for the catch! I fixed it. You can tell I don't use AI or spell-check, can't you? I'm just an almost legally blind without glasses human writer... LOL!!
Nope, it was there a second time. The Marcos's were dictators in the Philippines and I believe their son is the current president. But you can't actually say the Maduros's because Hispanics don't do surnames that way. It's Maduros and his wife.
It was a typo, but you're right about Hispanic surnames. They're much more complicated than Northern European surnames. I've had folks explain all the ins and outs of their last names before, but there does seem to be different "rules" for just about each and every Spanish-speaking country. Makes life interesting!
Can't wait to discuss The Resistance History of the United States. It's a great read. Activists everywhere should use it as their manual.
Names and addresses?

An accurate explanation of "organized chaos"!

That sounds like a good strategy. Stop buying what they're selling in every way we can.
Concern for the workers of the world? Yeah right!
Updatin’ prices, we keep improvin’
Creative lingo for pernicious greed
Deep in boardrooms the Ollies are groovin’
Demons of insatiable need.
Everything’s about a deal
But in balance it’s somebody’s bleed
Kitchen issues comin’ real
Souls and bodies needin’ to feed.
Great poem! We need all the truth-telling poets we can to outdo the evil "poetry of chaos" in my opinion.
Thanks. Evil poetry of chaos indeed.

Typo? “Venezuela’s president Marcos” FYI
