I hope as a civilization we never lose our faith and humanity.

Every time I pass this place I'm transported to 2016 when I still believed a candidate's promises--how quaint, how naive!--until the blindfold of delusion was rudely ripped off. (Interesting that four years later a literal mask would be required of the citizenry to demonstrate their obedience to the establishment narrative.)

Little did I know during these interim years that TPTB were implementing the next phase of their plan for global governance. I just thought I'd been magically transported to the Twilight Zone where I now lived in a parallel universe. I distinctly remember trying to explain to my therapist at the time my inexplicable feeling of dislocation. She nodded in assent, but I don't think she grasped the parallel universe concept. And life only grew more bizarre--the Robert Mueller debacle, Trump Derangement Syndrome, impeachment of the Orange Man, the useless attempts to have a reasonable conversation about any of these things with those who bought into the Official Story ™.

Never in a million years could I have suspected what would come next.

People talk about the Kennedy assassination as the final nail in the coffin of America's innocence. I don't think that's even close. What happened in 2020 was an event so titanic that it will take decades to sift through the rubble to comprehend the extent of it's horrific damage--and I thought 9/11 was the pinnacle of global catastrophe in my lifetime.

The terrifying thing is that while this deconstruction unfolds, technology is outstripping mankind's ability to understand what it is and how it will affect life in the future. For those of us in the last quarter of the game, so to speak, this will not have the same consequences affecting those just starting out in life. Younger generations will have different challenges, more daunting ones. But maybe each generation gets whatever challenges are required in order to bring into balance the forces which have swung too far to either extreme. Whatever comes, I hope as a civilization we never lose our faith and humanity. That's what I hold on to with both hands.
