How perfect is our moon, it’s relationship to our home profound.
It effects us in ways most don’t realize.
Even the distance is perfect, causing a corona to appear during a Solar eclipse.
Could this be by design, the chaos of the heavens suddenly giving a perfect symbiosis between two objects circling a star.
So too does life on this planet create a perfect partnership. Every living and inert thing working together, existing together, somehow forming a balance.
Even in natural upheavals there is balance, life continues unabated.
Enter man.
Somehow we have removed ourselves from this equation. Forcing our wills onto our landscape. Pushing this planet to it’s limits. Every resource being used in an all out push to dominate the landscape. Even the so called alarmists that shout about climate change refusing to give up even one thing relating to their comfort. Living their lives of lattes and ice cream unabated. Even our own energy secretary stealing a ride in a vehicle before jumping on a bicycle to give the appearance of being green. Loser! Does anyone remember all the energy companies filing bankruptcy after receiving hundreds of millions in loans. How short our memories are.
They all yell to throw money at this, lining their pockets even further. while it does nothing to stop what is becoming inevitable. A collapse, a complete failure of society, even now it has started. Roving mobs flash rob stores, people hoarding supplies. Wars over water. This is just the beginning. Soon, very soon, these comforts that everyone takes for granted will end. Suddenly.
Our planet rebels. The oceans are not doing well, huge islands of floating garbage, yet you still drink bottled water. Stop buying it, just stop. Oh I’m sure that you’re recycling it, good girl! It doesn’t matter, look around you. When was the last time you picked up that bottle that some asshole dropped. To my shame I am guilty also of not always picking it up.
How easily our society fractures, just look what Covid has done in a matter of months. Inflation is ruling large, destroying the poor and what remains of the middle class. Some say the middle class was an anomaly, a fluke of circumstances. Giving rise to a short lived affluence of the masses. Now it fades. The dollar is becoming worthless. It’s backing is debt. We are a debtors society. Over 90% of the wealth is in the hands of a very few. What is that saying ? “One paycheck from poverty” Now they’re pushing some new form of welfare called universal social income. This is the last stages of social slavery. Pushing the masses down while they float above, using a national police force to keep the peace. Does this look familiar to anyone with half a fucking brain.
What lessons have we learned from the past? What lessons have some of us learned from the past, while the rest drink the cool aid? Drink it all now, don’t miss a drop. Now didn’t that taste good? No bitterness, right?
Stick your finger down your throat and puke out this porridge they’ve been spoon feeding you. All they tell is lies, every last one of them. We are running on fumes, and all they push for is more control. Can’t you see why?
Well my rant has, as always spun out of control slightly. This day all is calm, the weather that caused much death has past. It will cover the news narrative for several days at least. And when this tragedy fades things will move on, the lives lost remain only to those who lost someone. This small event, while seeming large now is just another clue. The talking heads will blather on and nothing will change. You can count on it.

Rivers of Death
