37. If a person considers themselves to be immune to theocratic-fascism, or neo-feudalism, they won't.
Mon Mar 23, 2015, 05:10 AM
Mar 2015

The groundwork has already been laid, enconomically and socially. The memes have been reinforced for years.

The big push under Reagan has grown geometrically. There are some that will profit from the losses of other Americans. I'd say their fellow men, but they do not see them as fellows any longer. They believe they are their enemies on a long list.

It's not just the 1%, but their underlings who will do the dirty work for them. They are training for this job every day to make themselves a place in this recreated system.



Entertainment, media and churches put a pretty face on it and those who see the writing on the wall are now adapting to it. They are getting into churches or other groups to network.

The church network was the backbone of the civil rights movement at one time. Now they've veered off. We are in a period of time that Americans are ill prepared to deal with.

Time is not on our side. The world's climate is changing and the carrying capacity is going to be reduced save some 'miracle of science,' but that's an oxymoron. People are going to react to it in different ways.

PBO and Sanders have warned us of the urgency. People don't want to hear it. They want their fantasy.
