The Cracks Are Widening

There's no two ways about it.
Things are NOT going to get any better.
Not during this phase of human existence.

When banks and lenders start going bust, then the system really is in trouble.
It's only one lender, you say.
We'll see.

I think the recession to end all recessions is on its way.
The interest monster can no longer be fed.
The red side of the equation is about to equal the black, within the next few years.

And what happens next?
The collapse of all remaining industry in the west.
Money that no longer has any value.
The Great Depression, will seem like the Winter of Discontent, by comparison.

And we see it coming.
The powers that be have made sure that they are heavily armed, when the rioters hit the streets.
For the rioters won't just be the underclasses.
They will include the vast majority of the tax paying population who has worked all their lives, to find they own nothing.

We know, deep down, that all is not well.
Because we no longer care who governs us, it can make no difference.
Crime rates rise as society is stretched at the seams, as the powers that be squeeze every last penny out of the system, before it ends forever.

It's coming.
Five years?
Ten years?
Twenty years at most, probably.

We know we are in the death throes of the system, because life gets worse in every way that matters. Human life gets less safe by the year. Our means of existence- our jobs- get less secure.
There is no longer anything we can be sure of.

We live in a world of hysteria, where it is every man for himself and no one can believe anything they are told.
Trust me, our leaders can see it coming.
They can't prevent it, so they make hay while the sun shines, and arm the state against its subjects.

Life is getting nastier and harder for most of us, and will continue to do so.

And when the collapse happens, the scales will fall from the eyes of all of us.
When the Managing Director earning £100,000 a year, realises he too, is left with nothing. That he too, was never in on the real game.
That he too, was expendable.

Because the cash economy just doesn't work any more.
And no one knows how to get the food to the shops.



This is the nightmare everyone dreads.
And yet this is the very bit we SHOULDN'T fear.

Because that's when it all gets better.

That's when we realise, that the only things that will have gone will be money, corporations and the whole edifice of Capitalism.
And probably our governments too.

But the world will still have the same resources.
It will have the same infrastructure.
It will still have the same industrial capabilities.
And Mankind will still have the same intelligence and expertise.

And we'll all suddenly realise what a wonderful oppurtunity we have.

This will be one of the biggest revolutions in human history, because it won't just be a political one.
It will be a social one, as far reaching as the industrial revolution, changing the very way we live.
Through it, mankind will take one of the great cultural leaps forward, the greatest since the Enlightenment.



It will be when Mankind finally moves out of its adolescence, with its wars, its private property, its armed governments, its racism, its repression of women, its inequality of distribution.

And becomes the Species it has the potential to be.

Goodbye Northern Rock.
