An Act of War

The bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea was an act of war. The evidence very strongly points to the U.S. as being either behind it or standing aside as it was carried out by some other NATO member or related contractor. In other news, the Biden Administration and OPEC are…

World War III

PREVIEW

by Chris Martenson

Note: Just like Fukushima, the assassination of Soleimani is a fast-breaking development. This is a very fluid account of the situation — we’re updating this constantly and reacting as the news unfolds.

There we were, just two days into the new decade of the 2020’s and the top trending hashtag on Twitter was #worldwarIII.

Awesome start to the decade there Team Elite! So much to look forward to with the neocons in charge.

The US assassination of the most revered top military commander in Iran is simply mind-boggling in its brazenness and possible (probable?) implications.

And now we’ve struck additional targets as of Friday evening. The situation is escalating dangerously fast

The critical part being missed by the mainstream media outlets currently reporting on development is… (Enroll now to continue reading)

America the Vulnerable

by JHK

For most people, the collapse of civilizations is a subject much more appetizingly viewed in the rearview mirror than straight ahead down whatever path or roadway we are on.

Jared Diamond wrote about the collapse of earlier civilizations to great acclaim and brisk sales, in a nimbus of unimpeachable respectability. The stories he told about bygone cultures gone to seed were, above all, dramatic. No reviewers or other intellectual auditors dissed him for suggesting that empires inevitably run aground on the shoals of resource depletion, population overshoot, changes in the weather, and the diminishing returns of complexity.

Yet these are exactly the same problems that industrial-technocratic societies face today, and those of us who venture to discuss them are consigned to a tin-foil-hat brigade, along with the UFO abductees and Bigfoot trackers. This is unfortunate, but completely predictable, since the sunk costs in all the stuff of daily life (freeways, malls, tract houses) are so grotesquely huge that letting go of them is strictly unthinkable. We’re stuck with a very elaborate setup that has no future, but we refuse to consider the consequences…

Let’s Stop Fooling Ourselves: Americans Can’t Afford the Future

by Adam Taggart

The truth is: The three adult generations in the U.S. are suffering, and their burdens are likely to increase with time. Each is experiencing a squeeze that is making it harder to create value, save capital, and pursue happiness than at any point since WWII. At that point, we were a creditor nation with an economy exploding into dominance on the world stage. Now, however, the U.S. is the largest debtor nation and our economic hegemony is increasingly at seige across a number of fronts.

A continuation of the status quo is a decision to sleepwalk face-first into the constraints hurtling towards us.

Instead, shouldn't we stop fooling ourselves and ask: What should we be doing differently?

John Michael Greer: If the Four Horsemen Arrive, Offer Beer

by Adam Taggart

"We have a national mythology that limits are always bad. In fact, we have a national phobia of limits," wryly observes John Michael Greer: author, historian, conservationist and proprietor of the popular weblog The Archdruid Report. "We need to get past that."
