The Entertainment business seems to be churning out a lot of dystopian product, with frequent messages that "your government is out of control, you can't trust your government, the people who seem to be running things are not actually running things, things are not as they seem".

People know. They don't admit it to themselves quite yet, but there is a groundswell in this country, and people sense that something is wrong. And it's not just the US. It's the EU and it's Russia and China too. Everywhere.

For the record: I think it's all much, much worse than anyone can imagine, and I think the superstructure of society will inevitably collapse. I see massive debt default, the end of the nation state, and the rise of small, weak governments in all corners of the globe. In many respects, it will be a Dark Age. But there will be some possibility that the chaos will allow a rebirth of freedom.

I'm actually expecting all of that to be forestalled by the Second Coming, but no man can predict that hour, so in the absence of the return of Jesus, I say we're in for a bumpy ride.

Not the day or the hour, but you can discern the signs when it’s near.

I fear you’re right. A few years ago, I would’ve laughed at such a statement as conspiracy theory nonsense.

Now....let’s just say I ain’t laughing.
