Change We Don't Want To Believe In

As you are aware, our sitting president promised us 'Change You Can Believe In.' His policies have been no surprise to anyone that knew anything about him. Being of the philosophy that less is better concerning government, it should also not surprise anyone that I am vehemently opposed to this man. However, Obama is a small part of this article for me. I wish to speak of change. Negative change.

Isn't negative change what we think of quite often when change is mentioned? Change can be and often is a positive force. I am afraid that I am here to discuss negative change. What type of negative changes could we be facing? We could be looking at another act of terrorism, We could be looking at a third world war, economic collapse, natural disasters,Societal collapse and reorganization, or any combination. I think we are close to some major change. I have no solid evidence to put forth other than to point at current events and my own intuition.

Terrorism could come in the form of another simple mass slaughter such as that inflicted on 9/11/2001. It could also be much worse. It could be in the form of cyber-terrorism where a multitude of systems are attacked and crashed from the net. It could be in a nuclear form such as a dirty bomb, thermonuclear destruction of a city, or nuclear triggered EMP. Sooner or later, we will be hit with one of them. Our borders are porous. Some administrations such as the present one tend to take a very lazy approach to illegal immigration.

The Third World War is likely to stem from Iran, Syria, Egypt, and Israel having a dustup. I see Iran being willing to use a nuclear missile on Israel. I see Israel retaliating in it's last seconds of life. I see the present administration as being the great destabilizer.

Economic collapse is all but certain. Societal collapse will be it's handmaiden. This administration is wittingly or unwittingly accelerating us towards this collapse. To say that George W Bush had a policy of financial insanity is an understatement. What then of Obama? Do I need really detail the exponential acceleration in spending, accrual of debt, and government growth?

Natural disasters are always possible. It seems we have been visited more frequently by such events. That may be true. It is not due to man. It may impact humanity more than ever, but humanity isn't causing these things. For those of you who want to save the planet, this planet is quite capable of taking care of itself. Whenever an imbalance occurs in nature, it is eventually corrected. That is what lightning is. It is an electrical imbalance correcting itself. So if you are convinced that you can do something, you may want to save the ability of this planet to support human life. Eliminating modern society is not the answer. What would be the worst natural disaster in impact? I thing an EMP, such as that event which destroyed telegraphs some 150 years ago, would devastate our technological society. Tree huggers could relax, likely 60% - 90% of humanity would die in the first year.

Any societal collapse will result in a new society that is not necessarily constrained by the old. We could have a tyranny - which is likely. We may get very fortunate and build a new society upon the ideals of the constitution.

No, I don't want to believe in ANY of this change. However, one or more is likely to visit within the decade if not sooner.
