WHY HAS THE WORLD DESCENDED TO THE CURRENT MADNESS WE SEE NOW?

 

On the face of it we are observing the mass irrational, the group equivalent of an individual ‘seeing red’, enraged and reckless, uncaring concerning his or her well being or anyone else’s. On the international level such recklessness can potentially cost millions of lives. What could possibly be at stake to justify such apparent madness?

Diplomacy used to be the way we got ourselves out of messes like this. However, since 9/11 there has been a distinct lack of it. Replaced by a stand alone and constantly applied belligerence against all who are seen as ‘not on our side’. This taking of sides with 100% conviction where that ‘other side’ is constantly demonised to create as much hate as possible within the general population has become standard.

Diplomacy was killed off as an art form or science or whatever designation it might be given. It simply ceased to exist. To use another metaphor we negan to see one prize fighter take off his gloves and put on knuckle-dusters instead and announce that the fight would not end until the opponent was dead. This is no way for those responsible for hundreds of millions of peoples’ lives to act. In the past we called these people madmen, tyrants, psychopathic dictators without an iota of empathy for those they recklessly affected by their actions.

Joe Biden is currently behaving as the most irresponsible leader of recent times in respect of all of the above. He seems to embody the worst traits described above, worse even than one of his predecessors, George W. Bush. The world according to Biden is virtually identical to that of Dubya, “You Are Either With Us Or You Are Against Us”. AS the saying goes ‘An Eye For An Eye Makes The Whole World Blind’ and this demonisation in the absence of diplomacy that Biden employs is set to blind millions in death.

After all the deceptions of the past, all the barefaced lies told, it is truly remarkable how many are willing to be emotionally charged up by basic, shallow mistruths and obvious propaganda. The manufacture of consent, and consent to possible Armageddon unbelievable, appears to be easier than ever. Are so many benumbed by feelings of helpless impotence in the face of the dangerous situations now raging on our planet that they have simply given up and decided to accept whatever fate awaits us all?

The western world is SO badly led currently with high political positions held by mental midgets that the great men and women of the past would hardly credit their eyes and ears that such ridiculously irresponsible nonentities could ever reach such positions. What has happened to this world they would surely ask, that it has descended to this state. What happened to the rules and institutions we set up to avoid things reaching this level of insanity? How could things go so catastrophically wrong with human psychology that things have reached this calamitous stage?

These are questions each person reaching this will have their own answers for. For the author it is clear. The entire panoply of western political and media elites have been fighting tooth and claw for decades now to avoid becoming irrelevant in the face of powers rising elsewhere. They are engaged in an all or nothing, do or die war to destroy those who, in the natural order of things, supplant them. They cannot bear this thought, it is anathema to them. They see all their power and the trappings, assets, status and structures of influence that go with that power melting away before them in prospect. So they fight. Tooth and nail.

This above is the conjecture I have come to through thousands of hours of thought on this issue. The western elites are akin to a dying beast, a beast that was once the supreme animal in the jungle. In the time it has left this beast is attacking any others who no longer bow down to its power using every weapon at its disposal. It gives no quarter, attempting to kill weak and strong alike in a rabid attempt destroy in reckless, enraged abandon. In essence the western elite machine has become insane and has thrown all principle to the wind, willing now to countenance ANY level of death and destruction in the vain hope of maintaining its fast waning power.

The era of western unbridled power is ending. The worst aspects of that power have now come to the fore, all more positive aspects such as ethical and moral conduct, adherence to high principles, normal rules of behaviour in war and all else that provided a civilised face to it have been dispensed with. The naked fury of a dying beast seeing enemies everywhere has taken its place. Along with a willingness to see all others die if that is its own fate. This is the insanity we face now and see exhibited to ever greater degree and which now threatens each and every one of us.
