The Coming of the Climate Oligarchs and the end of the United States


THINKING IT ALL THROUGH


THIS WILL READ LIKE BAD SCIENCE FICTION OR THE WORST CONSPIRACY THEORY EVER. IF SO, IT MIGHT AT LEAST ENTERTAIN YOU.

BUT THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE IT WILL RESONATE, AND IF I AM RIGHT AT ALL, THAT SMALL CHANCE IS CRITICAL. SO I WILL RISK LOOKING LIKE A DELUSIONAL FOOL.

While they are flooding the zone we are mostly (and appropriately) all concerned with defending what we can in terms of people, processes, and institutions, with a secondary objective of throwing the Republicans into the outer darkness once and for all.

If this were The Lord of the Rings, this would be the part at the siege of Gondor where Gandalf looks out and says, "There will be no dawn." If this were an Avengers movie, this is where Nick Fury disintegrates into dust at the end of "Infinity War."

In both of those situations, however, the good guys had a strong force working for them that we cannot depend on: the author or scriptwriter.

We have to write our own script and fight our way through without any assurance anywhere that "it is always darkest before the dawn."

So I thought that it's time to take a moment to present a thesis to explain everything at a large-scale level in order for you to understand that our end game cannot simply be to protect the status quo ante and throw the bums out.

I'm going to suggest that the underlying intent here (intent of whom I will make clear in a bit) is nothing less than to create a situation that would appall Thanos himself.

The people pulling the strings here have literally accepted "the need" and "the inevitability" of 80-100 million American deaths in the next two decades and the total destruction of the political entity known as the United States of America.

There are three chief element driving this process: climate change, the billionaire survival instinct, and white supremacy.
