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 …
- Explode: Austro-Hungarian
- Explode: Ottoman Empire
- Implode: the USSR
- Implode: the Spanish Empire
- Explode: Alexandrian Empire
- Implode: Roman Empire (multi-century implosion)
ODDS of SURVIVAL: https://planetarystatusreport.com/pdf/20160729_Odds_Of_Survival.pdf
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:
- TPTB are managing a fuzzy event which was/is expected to occur in a five year window, starting in late 2019.
- 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.
- 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 …

Poor …
I am poor – and neither proud nor ashamed.
I’ve met rich people, having worked in healthcare, who are evil shit heads and still make millions … not poor.
If you think people are poor in America mainly because they are shit heads – good luck bro … Good luck … I mean it.
CRAP CHUTE PILL HEAD America has a LOT of people who “make money” grifting – and if you choose to avoid industries that grift people, you will probably end up poor.
And since I think this “game” is almost over? – it doesn’t matter …
No matter where you live …
No matter how many ounces you have stacked or food in your basement …
We will all be visiting the poor-house soon enough.
Beating up on poor people has to be one of the lowest energy shitty things to do …
But people no longer know the difference between kindness and communism – so here we are …
A lot of rich commies, mocking poor anarchists …
A lot of grifters and crooks, mocking the moral.
Helicopter Money
Chairman Powell’s Job: mediocre dollar AND slow/manage the rate of increase in inflation
Helicopter money?
That’s the money Powell will be tossing out of his hot-standby helicopter on his way to the airstrip to be taken to a bunker-condo in Antarctica …
(that’s what “helicopter money” really is)
(it will cover the escape)
