Via Infowars.com, this video is a stunning indictment agains Anglo-Americans, overtly casting them as potential terrorists, encouraging African-Americans, Asian-Americans and Hispanic-Americans to watch white people closely and report to authorities any activity that seems suspicious.
Especially if the white guy is wearing a fleece hoodie from Old Navy.
Scary, scary stuff, Americans.
Posted in Society, Terrorism, USThis is truly horrifying.
That the Attorney General of the United States of America, Eric Holder, could not only know about, but condone and support the export of guns to Mexico for the purpose of furthering the Administration’s goals of disarming the people of this nation is a betrayal that must not be ignored. Read more »
Posted in Corruption, Terrorism, USCollapse of our society is almost a certainty.
There was a time, early in the the writing of this website (the digital pen for which I am now picking up again), that I wasn’t certain about the future of our society, our economy or our republic. Those days are gone. Whether the collapse is a slow motion, crumbling, sliding into decay collapse, or a fast, over almost before you know it collapse, it will happen.
My thoughts these past couple weeks have turned to the most recent in our history collapse of Western Civilization, the fall of the Roman Empire. I know that we think of the Romans and the other human inhabitants of the globe at the time, as barely more than barbarians, dressed in tunics swinging short swords with no access to the internet, no iPhones, iPads or iDevices of any kind. People who burned oil for both light and heat, and never knew the greatness of Lady Gaga couldn’t possibly be intelligent stewards of humanity’s gifts, could they?
That’s all nonsense, of course. Our arrogance about the weaknesses, whether mental or moral, of our forbearers says more about us than it does about them. We’re the stupid ones, who believe things like:
There was a local real estate “expert” who in 2006 insisted on telling my wife that I just didn’t understand the real estate market, and that it was heading much higher. My wife and her family shook their heads in condescension at my arguments that real estate values must correct, because if they don’t, all property would eventually be too expensive to own, and the credit market was a mess, that at some point, the bill would have to be paid for all the “lier’s loans,” credit default swaps and other malarky going on.
In 2008, we employed that same real estate mogul to put up our Christmas tree. That’s one of the things he was doing to make ends meet at that time, and recently, he did some minor handyman work for us. I guess the market wasn’t all he thought it was.
But who could have foreseen all that happened?
A lot of people, actually. Reviled at the time, mocked, abused and dismissed as lunatics. Strangely enough, the same “experts” who said virtually all of what has happened couldn’t possibly happen are still trotted out on the television networks and on the internet as experts to help us all weather this storm.
God save us from numbnut “experts.”
As I reflect on this, and begin a new chapter with “WhatComesNext.net,” I wonder what was being written, considered, cautioned and projected during the collapse of the Roman Empire? Were there George Ures, Michael Panzners, James Howard Kunstlers, and Dmitry Orlovs?
Sure, you can read Gibbon’s History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
I’ll bring to you what I find.
Thank you for reading, and welcome (back?) to WhatComesNext.net.

Just watched a fascinating episode of the PBS series Nova, chronicling the work researchers did over the decades to understand the hieroglyphics used by the Mayans before their society collapsed. Ultimately that collapse was caused, as experts can best tell, by conflict and the shortage of that essential resource (no, not oil), water.
It’s tremendously exciting to see how dedicated researchers cracked the code of the pictograms, which have turned out to represent both phonetic sounds and collections of words representing ideas and phrases.
Watching the piece, I couldn’t help but wonder if a future civilization will be examining our culture through those words and symbols carved into the stone of monuments. In the case of the Mayans, the books, printed on a bark paper, were burned by the Spanish Inquisition, and entire culture’s printed word reduced to four books. Over time, it’s clear our books, printed on the thin and fragile paper, will break down pretty rapidly. I don’t think I need to tell you how I think the digital copies of our culture’s libraries will fare.
I’m not sure what the ultimate message of this particular episode of Nova is, but it’s worth watching.

Without a doubt, 2010 has been a difficult year. The economy continues its slide into the abyss of a “Greater Depression,” even though the government and its media mouthpiece crows about happy days being here again, in the form of “the recovery.”
The TSA and Homeland Security Department are beginning to look more and more like echoes of previous security apparatus, some dressed in shiny black leather, and some not.
Here, however, is a disturbing video that brings the Police State vision home…Or at least to Wal*Mart.
Posted in Economy, USYour editor will, on occasion, sheepishly admit to being a fan of conspiracy sites. For the most part, they’re a form of entertainment that I find…well, entertaining. They can be dark and dank, but many of them are written by very smart people with startlingly fresh and creative perspectives. You probably know the kind of sites I’m talking about. Some of them are hugely successful.
In this deepening “Greater Depression,” many of these sites are starting to prove themselves to be more than just fantasy and fiction. The terrible things they’ve been predicted are, in more than a few cases, starting to appear to us in our day to day world, and that makes us take a harder look at the other predictions and issue they discuss, to see if those things are coming down the road toward us, still just over the horizon.
For that reason, I sometimes feel like I have to avoid publishing what seems absolutely true to me. I no longer believe it’s impossible for American citizens to be rounded up in the middle of the night for opposing the power structure in this country. The unbelievable fiction I see playing out on the news channels these days suggest to me that the men and woman who have hijacked our Government are dropping all pretense about what they are doing. When I see Barney Frank berating the new ($1 per year) CEO of AIG for paying bonuses that the TARP allowed, and demanding the names of the people who did not return them, is it unreasonable to imagine doors kicked in at 2am?
Am I the only one who is disgusted by the holier than thou attitude of a man who was a regulator of this industry demanding justice for things that happened when he was watching? Am I the only one disgusted by this attitude from a man who had a gay prostitution ring being run out of his house by his live-in lover not that many years ago?
“We get the government we deserve,” the old saying goes. At what point will enough people who don’t live in states clueless enough to elect the likes of Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd say no more?
Then, things will get really interesting.
