Almost three years later, it has not gotten any better; it has gotten worse. Now all that data fuels some kind of sick simulation of popular behavior so they can tweak what is going on. It appears that 'continuity of government", especially as addressed by Peter Dale Scott and a small handful of others, is actually a schema for the survival of the selected wealthy elite who, having pumped the nation and the economy of many countries dry in order to grow some more trees in a desert or find themselves another land where milk and honey flow into the rivers. "Call some place paradise, and kiss it goodbye". Their self-righteous exceptionalist arrogance is alarming. Somewhere recently I saw and posted a quote about how the logical extension of that must be "a final solution" -- akin to the scene in "The Hunt For Red October" in which the chasing Russian sub fires a torpedo that, when avoided by the target, circles back and re-acquires a target in the form of the sub that fired it. The particular form of Darwinism that is being taken to its end-game can, in the end, only be self-consumptive. Somewhere ages hence perhaps a discovery craft from some far off cosmic world will discover a barren, radioactive wasteland pitted with deep vaults stuffed full of gold bars, million-dollar bonds, diamonds, bottled water, some kind of electronic mathematical genius-in-a-box hooked to a joystick, and a skeleton or two with an iron grip on their own pelvis.
