On The Eve Of GlobalRev

The Chinese say it is a curse to live in interesting times. I rather see it as my native environment.

I was born into the maelstrom known as the 60s in America. There was great social and cultural upheaval then.olitics split between the old and the new. Assassinations were common. The  coup d'etat was king.

I was only old enough to appreciate the change in tides. I listened go Dylan and Carlin, but it was years before I could put context with them. My parents were W
W2
 Making me a Boomer, but many of my contemporaries' parents were Korea or Viet Nam. That placed me solidly on tbe cusp of history.

All my life, i have come to various cultures either before or after thdy have convulsed. I lived in Dublin before the Great Boom. I arrived in Prague a year after the Velvet Revolution. I was in Belize and Guatemala during a truce. I was 43 miles outside Iran when the ayatolahs took over. Always a day late and a dollar short.

Until nos.

I've always wanted to be in the middle of interesting times, and it seems I've been thrust into the middle of them.

As ba kground, I have always wanted to come to Indonesia. I can distinctly remember the desire in 2nd grade sociology class. I was jealous of any acquaintance who got near here. One could say I was destined to be here now, as Ram Das would say.

And so it happens in my second half-century, I am consigned go be in Indonesia at the Turning Point. Like Brer Rabbit, I've been thrown into the briar patch.

For centuries, Indonesia has been dominated by other cultures and through the auspices of religion and economics, has been kept a superstitious and provincial land.  When I arrived here, I was hard pressed to find an Indonesian who had traveled abroad, nlw I'm equally hard pressed to find one who hasn't.

By the same token, the internet has brought a tidal wave of ideas and connections from the outside world that threaten the very fabric of life here. As a consequence, the leadership finds itself in a position of clamping down on society or facing their own irrelevance. As a result, it is seen as both authoritarian and archaic, neither of which engenders popular support. In fact, Indonesia is a perfect microcosm of the world at large at this crux of history.

Essentially what is happening here is a clash of ideologies not unlike the US in the 60s.  A younger generation, increasingly flush with money and with ideas they have picked up from a wide variety of sources, are looking at their traditional society and asking, "Why?"  For better or worse, they are going to change their country and their culture.  It is a foregone conclusion.  It is the embodiment of the old saying, "How are you going to keep them on the farm once they've seen Paris?"

A result of this growing wave of change is the authorities trying to control the level and pitch of the change.  For instance, recent government declarations have cut back on science, languages and arts in schools, and demanded more (Islamic) religious training.  The sense one gets from the ruling majority is that they are losing their grip on the young.  The kids are getting too much knowledge and not enough indoctrination.  The question remains how far the authorities are willing to go to contain what they view as a threat?

We have seen in history what happens when this sort of change occurs in society.  The Roman church launched the Inquisition and held bake sales with human dissenters.  The Protestant Revolution proved no less violent.  In more recent times, the 60s produced violent clashes between an old generation hell-bent on keeping the kids in line, and the kids who were hell-bent on erasing the line.

Indonesia is not alone.  The new prosperity is changing a lot of cultures throughout the eastern hemisphere.  Cultures which have been poverty-ridden and isolated for centuries are finding themselves flush with money and opportunities, and unwilling to sit still for the institutions perceived as having kept them in the dark for centuries, in many cases.

Curiously, the West is facing much the same forces of history, only at a much more advanced state.  In western countries, there has been a 100-year-long revolution taking place that began with World War 1.  It is a sweeping an fundamental upheaval in the fabric of society due to new technologies, new knowledge and new experiences.

The profundity of changes wrought by such inventions as the internet are severely overlooked by a great many people.  Gutenberg's press was the seed for the Protestant Revolution when it made the Bible accessable to the common man.  In the same way, the internet has brought the collected knowledge of Mankind to the screens of any computer or mobile device.  That kind of power injected into society cannot be underestimated.

There is no doubt we are facing a global cataclysm as the forces of control try to maintain their iron grip on masses of people who are now instantly privy to the vast body of knowledge and wisdom that has been kept hidden for centuries.  Furthermore, there is now a unique historical ability to generate global consensus outside the auspices of traditional power bases.  That is an awesome wave of destiny heading for our cultural shores.

In physics, it can be said that all of Creation is little more than manifest information.  All of reality is simply clumps of data acting semi-autonomously to seek more information and take part in the creative process of assembling that information into knowledge.

Now imagine that reality suddenly being infused with massive amounts of new information.  It would be like thrown gasoline on a fire.  It is a catalyst for change (and one assumes...growth).  In a sense, we are witness to a sudden swarm of insects due to past rainfall and the availability of increased food sources.  Though we experience the swarm as a 'sudden' event, the variables which created it have taken a year or more to accumulate.

Where we are now is a very delicate stage in history.  Authorities are happy with their cushy and exclusive roles in society.  It is a given that power is a drug, and a very addictive one at that.  The authorities always react by first trying to put the genie back in the bottle, and failing that, they clamp down violently on their power bases.  The inevitable result, of course, is their own destruction and replacement.

History is replete with examples where a massive infusion of information into society has caused profound long-term upheaval and change.  We are at that point now, but on a scale never before witnessed.  The changes are not regional, but global, and the response from authorities will be equal in scale and scope.  There is no doubt that the forces of change will win out, but it remains to be seen how far the power elite will go to preserve their stations of privilege.  Given past experience, mass killings and bloody rebellion are not unthinkable.

What we can hope is that the infusion of all this information brings with it a certain kind of mass wisdom.  Perhaps the authorities will see the futility of their efforts to maintain control, and perhaps the masses will see the futility of mass destruction we call revolution, but I hardly doubt it, human nature being what it is.

In many ways, current events are very exciting.  It is the birth pangs of something redically new in our common experience.  However, anyone who has experienced birth knows the pain, conflicting emotions and mess involved.

As for Indonesia, the power structure here has been based on Islam for the past 600 years.  Furthermore, Islam is the last remaining major religion that has not gone through a major reformation.  As such, Islam is facing its reformation at a time when the entire world is changing in a myriad of ways.  A billion people may soon be battling changes to their religion, as well as to society as a whole on a global scale.

It is now inevitable that the changes begun during World War 1 with the end of monarchy will continue apace for the next several decades.  The scale and scope of the changes ensures that virtually no one will escape the turmoil.  And we can safely assume that the structures and methods of power and control will not stand in the face of what is coming.  So there can only be one conclusion...

Hold on!

Breeding Yourself Into A Corner


In both the Banda Aceh and Fukushima tsunamis, a great number of people didn't notice the warning signs.  If they saw the tide sucking out and beach appearing where none had been just moments before, their minds opted for normalcy and told them that this was just a weird low tide or something.  And unlike the movies, tsunamis don't look like giant waves breaking on the horizon.  Instead, the tide comes in, and in, and in, and in.  It surges higher and faster without any sign of letting up.  Most people did not recognize what was happening until they were underwater or their building was completely surrounded with alarming rapidity.

And so it is with global events.  The tide began sucking out around the turn of the 20th century and now it is surging back with unstoppable force.  And just like a tsunami, it starts with what looks like an unusual high tide, but by the time folks sit up and take notice, the water of history is rushing past and rising inexorably.  This is when fear and panic take hold.

A fascinating man by the name of Frank O'Collins, whose interview will appear on these pages in the next couple of days, has posted a remarkable blog on his Ucadia site that deserves close reading and pondering.  He describes what it looks like when the tide starts to roll in with frightening rapidity.  He perfectly captures the feeling of those who have a deep feeling about global events, but can't quite put their finger on what's going on.

Picture a group of people like those in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.  They have, for whatever reason, been implanted with a vision of something they have to do to prepare for some impending event.  They know the sign they are looking for, but they don't know from where or when it will come.

The difference between real life and the movie is that the signs are implanted years ahead of the events.  We look frantically for them for a while, then slowly forget about them until something happens that triggers the memory and causes us to leap into action.  The problem is, we don't know which action is the right action until we stumble upon it.

Frank started to enter the seminary and join the priesthood.  I started to join the Benedictian order and become a monk.  We both apparently figured out rather quickly that wasn't the right direction, at least for us.  Frank eventually found his path, and I found mine.

The point is, there are people all over the planet who have received these visions and it is their job to perform some function that will warn others of the coming tsunami of history about to pound our shores.

The problem is that most folks who hear the warnings continue to mindlessly collect flotsam and jetsam on the newly exposed shorelines.  Some look up at the weirdos jumping up and down and yelling their fool heads off, but hey! everything looks normal, except there are a lot of cool shells here that they didn't see yesterday.

At some point, those in the know have to abandon the beachcombers to their reverie and start running for safety themselves.  After all, they have a group of folks who are listening and who want to know what they should do next.

The signs are here.  There are a bunch of folks jumping up and down trying to get everyone's attention.  Many aren't paying attention because they've been reprogrammed with false information that overrides their own instincts.  Deep inside, they know something is wrong, but their programming says, "Don't worry.  The 'authorities' will take care of everything.  They always do."

Those with false programming have relegated the Roman Church to a status of inconsequence.  They refuse to study history and see that the Roman Church has been at the center of Western history and culture for at least the past 1,000 years.  The fate of the church is the fate of an entire hemisphere of the socio-political globe.  The roots of all problems in the West right now are the result of ancient events, dismissed by most as being irrelevant in the modern world.

The rise of fascism and vulture capitalism, the collapse of monarchies, the rise of the Anglo-American empire and the Nazi Reich...all of these were planned for centuries.  The prophesy of Malachy and the interpretation of the Book of Revelations commonly held by most people were implanted as a means of controlling global events.

For instance, the prophesy of Malachy was written as part of a plan to socialize a certina mind-set in enough people across the planet to make certain events seem prophetic.  The one-line descriptions in the prophesy were a convenient way to buy credibility for Roman pontiffs.  After all, if a pope seemed to fit the 1,000-year-old prophesy, that would reinforce the validity of the prophesy, as well as make the pope look as if he was ordained by God's Plan.  It's circular logic, but billions of people have bought it.

The house built on a sandy foundation may last 50 years, but at some point, it will fall down.  Nothing based on a lie can survive forever.  And so the Roman Church is collapsing, both by design and by reason.  One group is pointing to the prophesy of end times to say, "See?  The end is coming and we were right!"  The other side is saying, "You can't build a house on a false foundation and expect it to stand."  The fact of the matter is that whoever controls definitions controls culture, and whoever controls culture controls the world.

Take a moment to think another way around.  Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands is resigning.  She is the daughter of Prince Bernhard, the founder of the Bilderberg group and a Nazi collaborator in World War 2.

Pope Benedict XVI is resigning.  He was a Hitler Youth and member of the Nazi Party, as well as a powerful figure inside the Vatican for many years, including being the Grand Inquisitor.  Update Feb 25 - Archbishop Keith Cardinal O'Brien to resign before the Conclave)

Surrounding these two events are the euro crisis and the EU itself, which was an idea hatched by high-ranking Nazis in the early 50s in Portugal.

The Knights of Malta, one of the most secretive and powerful groups in the Roman hierarchy, have taken over the Vatican Bank, which is the central economic engine of the Roman empire, which encompasses so much of Western history and current events.

All of these people and events are tied to the Bavarian Illuminati begun in (Ingolstadt, home of Victor Frankenstein) the 1800s.  That group was a branch of the Illuminati, along with many other organizations, which were a creation of the Roman Church in its effort to literally take over the world.  Remember that the Roman Church has given itself a mandate to possess and control the world in the name of Jesus until He returns (if you believe that particular interpretation of things).

The dwindling timeline and the culmination of thousands of different variables at this time is the reason that a number of writers and commentators have noted the precieved panic among the PTB. Based on a lot of dot connecting, we can even predict certain events - by reason rather than supernatural powers.

The new pope will be fairly young and charismatic.  The new William (Alexander) of Orange will take over the Netherlands.  Elizabeth II will abdicate this year, as will Charles, leaving Willie and Kate in charge.  All three of these monarchs together control most of the world's wealth and land, at least in title.  All three will pass to younger, more dynamic hands in the final push to complete their plan of global domination.

It will fail, but it won't be pretty.

It will fail because there is a tsunami coming.  This tsunami is powered by a force far more subtle and inevitable than any of those previously mentioned.  It is a force dismissed by the PTB and ignored by most people.  It is a tidal wave of Destiny.  It is programmed into our DNA and beyond the control of anything we can imagine.  There is an Awakening of something very ancient and currently invisible to most of us.

The PTB have been trying to find and eradicate it with the Human Genome Project and GMOs.  They know it's there but they can't reach it, though they think they have defeated it.

We humans are far more than we think we are.  Not unlike the Incredible Hulk, there is a massive force asleep within us...asleep because powerful magic has controlled us for a long, long time.  But like Sleeping Beauty or Rumplestiltskin or Snow White, true love will stir the Beast within and the evil plans of our supposed masters will be ultimately defeated.

In reality, there are two World Governments.  There is the one forced on us and the one which erupts from us.  The latter will win, but the former will not give up without a fight.  If you had been working for generations to build an empire - breeding your family and slowly positioning your forces - and you found an insurmountable force just as you were activating your final plan, would you just quit and go away?  Of course not.  They know, and we know at some level, that this is the final battle for control of the human race.  It will be a horrific war of attrition - a tsunami of history - which will be irresistible and inevitable.  The clash will grind mountains to dust.

All that can be done to mislead, distract and defeat humanity has been done.  Now the PTB are launching their young breedlings at us to conquer the last bit of the human psyche and pull the last of the wool over our eyes.  Prepare for D-Day.

The tsunami is coming.  See all those loons up the beach jumping up and down and yelling?  They are telling you to run.  Might want to take heed.
