the Shedding of Blood there is No Remission of Sins."<br>
<br>
It is naive, silly and ridiculous to think that those who are running
the system<br>
are going to willingly hand over the reins of power.<br>
<br>
They control the opinion shaping media that manipulates<br>
the general masses that want the sex, lies and circuses that Big
Brother promises.<br>
They control the currency. They have all the important land.<br>
They have the guns and the ability to incarcerate.<br>
<br>
The great mass of people in their miserable pitiful lives<br>
of existential fear, farting, fucking, and quiet desperation<br>
are unwilling nay unable to move outside their comfort zones.<br>
<br>
They are only dimly aware of what is happening to their world.<br>
They will ask for more and more and more regulation, more
authoritarianism,<br>
and more security that will progressively rob them of their liberties,
their<br>
livelihood, and their lives. They will think that they are right in
asking<br>
for Big Brother's iron hand and protection and they will be reassured.<br>
<br>
The masses can hardly be expected to make any sort of meaningful
response let alone offer resistance.<br>
<br>
Those who are aware of what is going on are limited in number.<br>
They are hindered in their efforts by personal differences and
ideologic hang-ups.<br>
Some are rebels by nature and most are neither good leaders nor
obedient followers.<br>
There will be several different factions.<br>
<br>
Many rebel leaders will be incarcerated.<br>
<br>
"I've got some friends inside."<br>
<br>
There will be much bloodshed as the rebels and looters and vigilantes
and paramilitary groups clash.<br>
<br>
The rotted american cities will become even more dangerous as the
competition for basic needs,<br>
food, water, clean shelter, heat, automobile tyres, clothing goes over
the top out-of-control.<br>
<br>
The better cities that somehow retain industrial production<br>
will be heavily guarded and access to them will be limited to those
with explicit permission to enter.<br>
<br>
Some will seek to live quiet lives of subsistence in the countryside
but there they will be plagued and plundered by marauding gangs<br>
<br>
Disease will claim many, as long forgotten illnesses like diphtheria,
tetanus, botulism, cholera return with fervor as does famine.<br>
<br>
<br>
When they said, "Repent. Repent." I wondered what they meant. - L.
Cohen.</blockquote>
