Waiting for Something
Myth Pilot ^ | 25 Mar, 2024 | PAULOS

Posted on 03/26/2024 12:10:51 PM PDT by MtnClimber

I am 57. Not only does it feel like "something wicked this way comes" but there is also this feeling that the whole world is holding it's breath...

I came across this image on reddit today. The post was titled “Feeling of impending doom??” but the screenshot is from a comment on a youtube video.

I posted about the comment on Twitter and got very strong reactions. Many posters identified with this feeling and I want to discuss this.

Today in March of 2024 we’re in a particular moment of history. In the background the various slow-motion crises of our age have been steadily pitching up like an over-tuned violin string. Nothing extreme, just everything annoyingly sharp and a steadily rising whine. Rent is up. Wheeeeeeee. Groceries cost more. Eeeeeeiiii. Global warming. Eeeeeeeee. Israel Palestine. Eeeeeeeeeeeiiii. Terrorist attack in Russia. Eeeeeeeeeiiiiii. Trump is up in the polls. Eeeeeeeeiiiii. Can’t get a job. Eeeeeee.

Normies are edge. Something is about to snap.

Waiting for Something? Not me. I’m waiting for Someone.

Jesus.

I sold half of my stock funds yesterday and moved them into Money Markets.

I had two other people in their 60s tell me they did the same thing in the last week. Except they moved everything into MM funds making 5%.

Fear porn for the masses.

Pathetic.

I’ve felt weirdness since Obama was elected, felt it for 8 years. Felt it less when Trump was in office, but that impending doom was still there.
Yes, Something Wicked This Way Comes, is happening. Black Swan of some sort. Ship crashing into the bridge may be the harbinger of things to come.

Tobacco and pipes/rolling papers, booze in pints and 5ths, and reliable less expensive revolvers in .22 long rifle with lots of 500 round bricks made up of boxes of 50 rounds each. Great trade items.

One of my more vivid recollections is that of my grandmother telling me how she watched as a little girl as her family threw everything they could into some horse-drawn carts hearing the sound of German artillery getting closer and closer in the Fall of 1914.

My sense of foreboding is that we are sleepwalking into another world war abroad, or, if we get more repressive measures and election rigging here, another civil war at home, or both.

Romans 8

35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Something IS going to happen - soon. The Bible refers to it as the 70th week of Daniel, also known as the tribulation period of 7 years. The only way to avoid it is to accept Jesus’ offer of salvation.

I’ve been keeping the 80% of my retirement in a mix of money market funds, short term us treasuries and CD’s for about a year now. 5+% average on the 80%, and the other 20% in two funds I’ve done well in over the years. I don’t trust election years, & this one especially. I haven’t trusted any economic numbers coming out of Washington since Biden took office.
