Of course I agree. Any sane person would. In fact, trends research analyst Gerald Celente has correctly pegged those entities as essentially terrorists for years.

The truth is that we do not require the biblical terror of Hades or the heart-racing jolts of horror movies to strike fear in us. Instead, we have a real-life tyrannical, oppressive government and their ill-intentioned enablers, whom you cited, controlling and dominating virtually all aspects of our lives. Since we are literally slaves to them, what is more frightening than real life these days? Who knows what they will do to us tomorrow or next week? -ng-

I am currently revisiting the final two centuries of the Roman Empire, which culminated in its infamous collapse. The similarities between the catalysts that led to the fall of the United States and what led to the fall of the Roman Empire are remarkably similar.

The fact of the matter is that no nation endures forever, and the U.S. has already teetered over the precipice of history. Someday, everything we are living now will be another footnote in the annals of world history, assuming there is anyone left who is intelligent enough to read, write, and document historical events. -ng-

The aspect that I find the most difficult to come to terms with is not that this has breakdown has happened, but rather, the extreme rapidity at which it happened and how it is accelerating. It's literally like watching a train wreck in slow motion, as some have described it. Perhaps a better analogy is a train going over a cliff in slow motion.

Could you have envisioned any of the bizarre events that have transpired over the past few years while you were in high school or college? I could not have, but by the middle 1990s, I started to see the writing on the wall.
