TEOTWAWNI

Here, while some parts of the UK have a hosepipe ban other parts of Britain are on flood alert. According to the news, this is the wettest April since records begun, and records begun a long long time ago. Last winter was the coldest winter since the 60’s, and the summer was the hottest summer we had here for decades. So, something is really cooking up in the heavens, where they can’t  get it right anymore. I think we already messed up our universal vessel, we gone past the point of no return, and people talks about TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) but this is starting to look quite real, but not as dramatic as the media likes to make us believe by depicting  it in films, books and documentaries that makes people get paranoid , making sales on sporting  goods rise, like knifes and camping gear, increasing the amount of people who own a gun, or two, or three, hell, some people across the pond have bunkers and arsenals, convinced that this is the final chapter of our species, and in order to survive they must protect themselves from an unknown enemy. Zombies? Aliens? Nah, our biggest enemy is ourselves. We already managed to destroy our atmosphere, affecting the way our climate acts. A few weeks ago, in America, they had a series of tornados the make huge damage to their infrastructure and kill dozens of people. All within 24 hours or so.
The end of the world as we know it, it is starting, yes, but not like that. Our world is changing, because we forcing it to change. Is going to be very hard to maintain a civilization like this, but it won’t be our end.
 Our economy is collapsing, we could very well end up changing the way we run things, with people rising against governments like already is happening with the Arab uprising. Our system is about to crash, because of greed from those in power, and I can see places like Greece ending up in some sort of anarchy.
Extreme right wing parties in Europe are becoming more popular, with France being on their presidential elections and a lot of people heading that way, things don’t look to pretty anymore. Are we moving backwards? Some how in Russia Vladimir Putin is in power, and Joseph Stalin’s ghost still influence a lot of the Russian population one way or another. Russian Nashi youth party, a movement that base a lot of the ideas from the old days, mixed with the modern day extremism, again, going back backwards.
I’m afraid that some people is going to be disappointed, because we are not going to be invaded by aliens, nor going to have a zombie apocalypse, and North Korea is not going to start a nuclear war, they can even get a long range missile test to work, ups, I meant the launch of a communications satellite.
China is getting fed up with North Korea’s childish behaviour, and looks like they are coming out of the old regime becoming a modern country that is more interested in producing the biggest industry in the world than going to war with the rest of it by being supportive of North Korea.
Be prepare, yes, have your candles ready, your emergency rations at hand, and your tools clean ready to work. Get a transport method that don’t require oil based fuels, and have your family and friends close. No because is the end of the world, but because our networks will fail more often than we like, because there is not going to be money to maintain them, and people will not give a damn.
Our society is based on a delicate balance that right now is not balanced at all, and that balanced is decided by money. That is really sad, because money calls, it calls more than our basic core principles, honour, freedom, justice and family, those things are sacred, but the people with the power don‘t think on them, they are snakes.
