Make it up and then believe it. Thats what memes are all about. The more you give a certain idea attention, the more people become attracted to it and eventually the more people believe it. What we want to do, is come up with a few high thoughts that will help us understand and navigate through difficult times ahead.

Here is a good one. As I said, I have been dancing around these concepts and paradigms for decades. I have read ancient prophecies, analysis of ancient prophecies, prognostications by modern visionary and psychics, and more daily news, online forums and discussions, and mailing lists that I care to remember. Not that I believe all of it.. but it does give perspective and encourages discernment in thought to know what other people are thinking.

A contrarian economic view. Good info...but its not good news.

This week is suppose to be a biggy. Here in China, chinese new year just finished up. Several sources have been beating the drum about the stock markets taking another big slide this week. UrbanSurvival's Wave guru has a crash alert out.

Just to put it in perspective, the spring coming up is likely to be filled with events as the fabric of the current system starts to unravel. Trends Research calls it the Summer of Hell in the US. Several sources peg it as the time when the dollar comes unwound and commodities start to skyrocket. Even as we speak, gold is making a push back up the ladder into the 900's.

Several posts out there identifying US gov activity to setup camp in case of major unrest and civil disturbance. Its old news that a Army division has been redeployed to US soil to manage things. Also appears that some people don't really like what Obama is doing with the torture chambers, and are planning their own party.

The system that runs in the world right now is not sustainable. It has to be reshaped and reformed with different goals. But we won't do it voluntarily. We will go kicking and screaming. The first step is the economy. Shortly behind that, what we have done to the environment will come back to haunt us. Life is not over, but life will be different. It must be.
