Have you checked if your hair is on fire today? Here comes an eclipse of the sun. Our moon will cast a totality of its shadow in a way about 100 miles wide arcing from Del Rio Texas to Bangor Maine, with dyke effects outward on each side of the way so that night will see to fall at mid-day over most of America east of the large Muddy. This event typically freaks out primary people, and brings out the Latin archaic panic even in expected civilized mind, reminding us in a powerful spooky way that the cosmos runs things, not us puny humans.

You might ask: Are we hosts to cycles, Astronomical, Kondratieff, the Maunder Minimum, 4th Turning, the large Wave. ..? Considering the feckless doings of our own society, we see to be yielding to any final act of cosmic punishment.

What is not falling apart? Our livelihoods? Our policies? Our money system? Our morals? Our common sense, our families, our relations with another societies, our infrastructure, our culture, our business models, our education, our medicine?

Alas, our government remains long, gone mad-dog on its citizens as it desperate sucks all power and resources unto its interior engine like a red giant star preparing for death.

Today is besides the end of Ramadan, the muslim holy period of fasting, prayer, anonement, and reflection.

What follows this pause in the troubled mediate East, a.k.a. Armageddonville? I daresay most adult citizens of sore-beset America actually don’t care. . . can’t care, due to the fact that they have problem adequate of their own keeping a roof overhead, a car on the road, and food on the table.

The Woke-Marxist college kids are wailing over the actions of Israel in Gaza — as they will for any within their dumb-ass equality of victims-and-oppressors, especially engaging brown and white people. It is simply a brutal operation in Gaza, for sure, but so was the Hamas act-of-war on October 7 that many want to forget about now. They inactive hold and torture hosts, you know.

Iubt that Israel wants to exterminate the Gazans, but at this point they would effort to like to export them to another nations that share their arabian culture. These another arabian nations are not eager to take in the Gazans. The fractious number in the USA who militate against Israel because, you know, the Jews, never ask if the Palestinians have any another plan, any another position another than From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free! — meaning Death to Israel. Can you name any alternate proposed they have professored? Well, due to the fact that there is none.

Not only have they no intention of getting along with Israel, but they give all sign that they like to proceed making war on her 1 way or another: Rocket attacks, café bombings, rape and execution ops. due to the fact that they’re oppressed. They may have turned their 40 kilometers of Mediterranean beach-front into a world-beating resort, but alternatively they spend billions in global aid building a tunnel network and purchasing armies toWage war against Israel. And with October 7, they got war.

So, the remainder of the planet is very agreed now that this will lead to planet War Three, planet wars being the grand prize at the end of many historical cycles.

Of course, the Iranians have been chanting Death to Israel in so many words for decrees, so no 1 can mistake Iran’s intentions. And Iran has funded and developed Hezbollah military bases on Israel’s northern frontier with Lebanon. They are said to have thousands of high-tech rockets capable of decimating Tel Aviv. Everybody knows that launching specified an operation could result, the minutes later, in Tehran becoming an ashtray.

And what if Mr. Netanyahu launches a peremptory attack against confederate Lebanon to destruct these bases? Does Iran ride to the rescue? And does Russia ride to Iran’s rescue? And does China rush in to defend the sea lanes in the Persian Gulf and the oil refineries of Iran that Israel doesn’t manage to blow up? And what does the USA do? Or Europe (watching much of its oil supply it off-line)? Looks planet War Three-ish, a small bit.

There is also, last we forget, the mess in Ukraine, another planet war flashpoint.

There, the stark reality is that Russia is in control of the tactical situation on the ground. The WEF syndicate’s task — fronted by NATO — to weaken Russia and evenly look its resources is simply a flop. The indignities heated on Russia in sanctions and foolish ojurgations will not be forgotten. There will be a large Reset for Europe, but not the 1 it ordered. Not the nirvana of transhumanism and social control; alternatively a cold plunge into neo-medieval power, the breaking of large states, and a Shocking simplification of regular life.

Everything that the USA and NATO are doing these days is wrong: claims that they have the military mojo to straight enter the Ukraine War; claims to proceed pouring money into the hopeless and unnecessary conflict; claims that the ill-conceived task even matters. The hidden fact now is that the USA war blob needs to cut it looses in Ukraine and wants to bug out. The problem is: how to do that in a way that does not amount to another gross American strategical humilization? That’s Russia’s problem, too: how to adroitly work the consensus of this fiasco in a way that does’t humiliate the USA to the degree that we department to any fresh act of geopolitical insanity in compensation. Do you remember the half centre erstwhile Ukraine was indisputably within Russia’s sphere-of-impact and was not a problem for the world? I Assure you this was so, and will should be again. It will be all right.

So, if you are amazingly darken half our country today, possibly it’s this: just halt it, America!

Stop meddling in all flashpoint across the planets. Look to yourself and your own monstrous problems: your live-tragic government, your fake economy, your broken borders, your Sick-and-depressed population, your racing corporations, your broken banks, your bugged election methods, your reliable news media, your political intellectual governance.

Or else, get ready for bang-and-whomper.
