STORM CLOUDS GATHERING --
Trump vs Clinton - The Window of Opportunity
Observing the presidential elections over the years
has been a lot like watching a television series jump the shark. We've gotten
to that point where you watch it for the same reason you can't help slowing
down and staring as you pass a wreck on the highway. It's the Jerry
Springerfication of politics. A morbid fascination with the decline of western
civilization.
I know. Some of you are on the train.
Some of you are actually inspired by the smoke being blown up your collective
backsides.
I'm not here to burst your bubble.
Not necessary.
Reality will set in on its own time.
No matter who gets inaugurated in January, the
American public is going to come to their senses in a ditch, with a hangover
and realize that they have no idea where their pants are. That's an ugly
picture, but sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to realize you've got a
problem.
And there's never been a better time for a rude
awakening. All around the world we are witnessing the early stages of a massive social and economic upheaval.
Large swaths of the population feel angry,
disenfranchised and disgusted with the trajectory we're on. This undercurrent
carried Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders to the national stage, it brought
Brexit to a referendum, and ready or not there's more to come. (A window of
opportunity is opening.)
I know, I know...
The other candidate is REALLY, REALLY BAD.
I agree.
Both sides see their opposition's candidate as a
fraudster, a liar and a fool.
And they're both right.
Trouble is, both sides hate their **opponent** so much that they refuse to
scrutinize their own candidate.
Par for the course.
Delusion is the lifeblood of politics.
But with a lineup like this, one has to wonder if the
"powers that be" are getting senile.
Must be having a hard time recruiting competent, likable puppets.
The circus tent is collapsing, and America is about to get a new ring master
foisted upon them that is disliked and distrusted by the MAJORITY of the population.
It's unprecedented.
You could even call it historic.
They got caught red handed.
In doing so the establishment planted the seeds of rebellion in the hearts and
minds of an entire generation. That generation just happens to be the future.
Therein lies a window of opportunity.
Discontent is the mother of revolution.
Disillusionment the motor of real change.
As America stumbles around in that ditch trying to figure out what went wrong,
more and more people are going to realize that it's time to stop pissing their
life away at the RNC and DNC liquor stores.
The solution is not going to come from the same system
that created the problem.
It's not just a few bad apples.
It's not just democracy that's broken.
We're running on a faulty paradigm.
We have a debt based monetary system which requires
infinite growth to stay afloat,
on a finite planet, addicted to oil and war.
Time to start working outside the box.
Reforms aren't going to cut it. Divisive political
wedge movements aren't going to help.
A full socio-economic reset is in order, and in the works.
It is going to be a bumpy ride though, so I hope you
have a sense of humor.
We're probably going to need it.
