Implode or Explode — https://planetarystatusreport.com/?p=5669

Implode vs Explode is NOT all or nothing, it’s always a hybrid.

Implosions: tend to be less catastrophic in terms of EXTERNAL war, and more catastrophic internally.

Explosions: tend to be bad internally, but as bad or even worse in terms of neighbors.

Short, incomplete, list for discussion.

*** empires can also be destroyed by BIGGER empires … “consumption” or “subsumption” … this is a different topic …

  1. Explode: Austro-Hungarian
  2. Explode: Ottoman Empire
  3. Implode: the USSR
  4. Implode: the Spanish Empire
  5. Explode: Alexandrian Empire
  6. Implode: Roman Empire (multi-century implosion)

ODDS of SURVIVAL: https://planetarystatusreport.com/pdf/20160729_Odds_Of_Survival.pdf

My own hell …

“It was a dark night of the plane flight of the soul …” – Dr. Freckles

Hell is flying commercial now … this is my hell … since at least 2001.

(check the podcast archives, search the page for “TSA” back in 2015/2016 …)

GARBAGE FOOD

“A lot of you mother fuckers don’t understand that the cricket-flour garbage food reality STARTED WITH Norman Borlaug … and it shows.” – Dr. Freckles

What I’ve said …

This is what I said in 2015, basically during a lunch conversation with other computer programmers: https://planetarystatusreport.com/pdf/20160729_Odds_Of_Survival.pdf

There’s too much fear mongering, too much manipulation, not enough good information. That’s where we’re at … I saw someone on social media posting some more fear porn today, a new thread, and it made me want to outline PRECISELY my position:

  1. TPTB are managing a fuzzy event which was/is expected to occur in a five year window, starting in late 2019.
  2. BEST CASE: the “fuzzy event” is the collapse of the USD/Petro-Dollar empire … this will likely trigger a worldwide depression lasting a few decades. It will be pretty bad, but not the end of the world. Just really fucking horrible. I think a worldwide famine is baked into the cake for the best case.
  3. WORST CASE: something, I don’t know what for sure, so bad that you’d gaslight billions of people for 3+ years using multiple high intensity military psychological warfare operations. The flavor of OP? – trauma based, mainly. As such, it’s a GOING OUT OF BUSINESS sale, setting fire to the restaurant, cover the escape and final thievery … and then what? – the elite are safe in their compounds, and the rest of us likely battle each other for scraps until something more awful than starvation kills us.

YOU ARE NOT POWERLESS – I’ve also said this.

YOU CONTROL your fate – even as a Christian, knowing GOD has a PLAN, I believe this.

And the ONLY WAY to manage the worst parts of what I describe? – liberty.

Liberty is not the “nice to have” later …

Liberty is how we avoid, possibly, an extinction level event.

Tyranny? – this is how the human race dies … not with a bang, but with a whimper.

But what WE DON’T NEED is more bullshit fear …

I don’t know for certain what is going on …

And, I could be wrong …

Guns …

“The best deal on a gun is using the black market.” – Dr. Freckles

“If you buy your guns at Cabela’s, you are a DUMB SHIT.” – Dr. Freckles
