I don’t put ALL my hopes into anything. I honestly feel like America is going to crash, and have an apocalyptic Depression that will make the Great Depression look like the post-war boom.
I have a degree in history, and I could rattle off numerous societies that were doing well, right up until the moment they fully collapsed, and were buried over by the next civilization. We aren’t special, we’ve only been around for 250 years. The Romans lasted hundreds, the Egyptians lasted centuries. The Greeks were living an amazing modern life, until they became ancient history. Then there were the Sumerians, the Phoenicians, and many many more. I guarantee that ALL of them felt that their culture would last forever. Today, nobody even speaks their languages.
For the past 50 years, I’ve watched us barrel down this freeway to destruction, watching every off ramp go by. Here’s another one, a big one, an off ramp that could really take us in a different direction, and I’m just pointing it out.
Hopefully, the Generals see this off ramp for the unique opportunity that it is. Generals aren’t like politicians. Generals tend to be brave, while nobody is more cowardly than a politician. Generals will accept a dangerous assignment, while a politician will avoid it at any cost. So perhaps the Generals will do what the politicians won’t - their jobs, and defend America from certain destruction.
But I’m not holding my breath, either. I am planning and stockpiling for a future apocalypse, and I think the chances of that are about 70%.
