[E. Wayne Johnson]

"Without the Shedding of Blood there is No Remission of Sins."

It is naive, silly and ridiculous to think that those who are running 
the system
are going to willingly hand over the reins of power.

They control the opinion shaping media that manipulates
the general masses that want the sex, lies and circuses that Big Brother 
promises.
They control the currency.  They have all the important land.
They have the guns and the ability to incarcerate.

The great mass of people in their miserable pitiful lives
of existential fear, farting, fucking, and quiet desperation
are unwilling nay unable to move outside their comfort zones.

They are only dimly aware of what is happening to their world.
They will ask for more and more and more regulation, more authoritarianism,
and more security that will progressively rob them of their liberties, their
livelihood, and their lives.  They will think that they are right in asking
for Big Brother's iron hand and protection and they will be reassured.

The masses can hardly be expected to make any sort of meaningful 
response let alone offer resistance.

Those who are aware of what is going on are limited in number.
They are hindered in their efforts by personal differences and ideologic 
hang-ups.
Some are rebels by nature and most are neither good leaders nor obedient 
followers.
There will be several different factions.

Many rebel leaders will be incarcerated.

  "I've got some friends inside."

There will be much bloodshed as the rebels and looters and vigilantes 
and paramilitary groups clash.

The rotted american cities will become even more dangerous as the 
competition for basic needs,
food, water, clean shelter, heat, automobile tyres, clothing goes over 
the top out-of-control.

The better cities that somehow retain industrial production
will be heavily guarded and access to them will be limited to those with 
explicit permission to enter.

Some will seek to live quiet lives of subsistence in the countryside but 
there they will be plagued and plundered by marauding gangs

Disease will claim many, as long forgotten illnesses like diphtheria, 
tetanus, botulism, cholera return with fervor as does famine.


When they said, "Repent. Repent." I wondered what they meant.  - L. Cohen.
