Chapter 2: The Current Trend: Let the Catastrophe Unfold.If this is the final choice, everything that the nations squabble over today will appear irrelevant, including the separation of Quebec from Canada. In the catastrophe of total anarchy even the best support structures of civilization become irrelevant. Nor will it be easy, in such a situation, to rebuilt a stable civilization on the foundation of the sovereign nation-state? Possibly no one can affect such a rescue out of the depth of this chaos. It may well be that the impending end of an era may also bring to an end the brightest aspect that the era has brought forth for humanity, the idea of common life, common wealth, common defense, common happiness - the idea that all men are created equal - which was incorporated in the idea of the nation-state. Should the catastrophic juncture be carried forwards as it has been chosen, the oligarchy appears to have its own game-plan well advanced to assure that mankind's drop into hell takes place and becomes unstoppable. The oligarchy's incessant demand for global 'depopulation' is a part that fits into the latter stages of this plan which already involves economic strangulation. The oligarchy's demand for evermore privatization of the nations' vital industries and resources has enabled it to gain control over every aspect of the world's physical economy. It presently owns key positions in strategic minerals, energy resources, vital transportation systems, etc.. It also owns a very real non-governmental population control capability. Through its far flung terrorist networks, and media networks, that shape public attitudes around the world, the Empire has the capacity to stage many more Rwandas. Through its cartels, the oligarchy also owns the food supply network that supplies most of humanity with its daily bread. Hardly a scrap of food moves on the planet without the cartels having a hand in the game at some stage along the way. By its ownership of these infrastructures the Empire has the capacity, many times over, to choke the world to death if it so wishes. The oligarchy may very well have this in mind as its dramatic depopulation plans indicate. It has presently organized itself into a global Empire with near global control. The coming crash, therefore, has an ominous dimension that needs to be kept in mind as the society chooses what it's lot will be in the future. Humanity has the capacity to be what it wants to be, to assert its right and to claim its place in the sun. So far, it has demonstrated an overwhelming commitment to the opposite: To deny itself. "To be, or not to be! That is the question." One aspect that keeps mankind tied to the ground, and to dangerous impositions, is its confusing clutter of traditions and ideologies, behind which the most deep reaching manipulations can be enforced. There is some extensive house cleaning required here. A lot of 'trash' has to be taken to the dump. The nations are caught in a world wide web of conspiracies by which humanity is enlisted to act against its own self-interest, like the nations of Europe were once enlisted to engage each other in mortal combat that became World War I. This raises another point, for our list of points that the scientist of society must explore: How was it possible that entire nations allowed themselves to be driven into this most dangerous situation in which they destroyed each other during World War I? This is an important question for today, because what we face today is in many ways similar to what Europe faced on June 27, 1914. This was the day previous to the assassination in Sarajevo, of the Austro-Hungarian Archduke Francis Ferdinant and his wife Sophie, that triggered a holocaust of unprecedented proportions and ugliness. || - page index - || - chapter index - || - Exit - ||
