Where do we find ourselves on this cold morning of November? In the midst of one of the biggest blowbacks of modern times is where. It has felt like a historical collapse of world empires since early 2020. That feeling has not let up since then. Trapped in a doom like matrix of virtually everything. From medicine, to education, to government, to entertainment, to communication, through economics and beyond we have endured a modern hell scape. If we are feeling a bit of pain today there are countless reasons why.
The fall of civilizations give us headaches, sleepless nights. But when the house of cards begin to fall they threaten to sweep everything before them in a vast wave of disintegration. Because I don’t want to go through this again or have any descendants suffer through it, I share a long list of things to be digested as a Feast of Thanksgiving. A kind of ceremony if you will.
Something to share with family and friends well fortified with turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie and wine. In this celebratory ceremony of our innocence maybe we can see our way clear to the solutions.
Holding the clay feet of the leaders responsible for this to the fire is going to be necessary. How and why we do this need to be in the spirit of never allowing our children to go through this again. It needs to be serious, considered, rational and the best we can manage.
A big task? Yes. Let’s try to give thanks for having the chance.
Is the following and agent provocateur or a Machiavellian delusional kleptocrat? You decide.
We are only skimming the surface here. There is much more to accomplish and digest. But we may begin now to do the due diligence we failed to do before this got out of hand. Due diligence needs to be the foundation of any civilizations we conceive going forward.
The rest in The Fall Of Civilization - Part II. That is, when I feel capable of putting myself and you through this again.
Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving all. Will be in the studio for the next few days. But then living in South Nashville that is what you do.
In the end it is about how we almost lost everything - but didn’t. In the words of a songwriter I am fortunate to know :
“In Time, my son, the Grandfather Clock groans.” Yes. Exactly.
After all the best thing about the fall of civilizations is the people you meet along the way. To you.
Surf the wave any size

For those currently lost to the grief of this. The grief is real. Honor it.

The time for Due Diligence passed when the 2020 election was stolen. A requiem for the United States is needed. We have become a giant force for evil in the world. The only thing that might save America is a revival of suicide bomb attacks by Muslims. That might alert congress and society at large that all is not well in Fantasyland. Needless to say, the Executive branch, the FBI, and the DOJ will not be aware of what is going on.
Once people start losing their homes in the next housing bubble (expected in the middle of the worst winter in 44 years), the panic will begin and the Empire will be destroyed.
