I read an article this morning, one of a growing list of "gloom and doom" articles that seem to be popping up more often these days.

Getting lost in the political rhetoric is the freight train of global catastrophe that will not stop just because we choose to ignore it.

A "Crash Course" to reality.

I feel it's necessary for people to check out this website chrismartenson.com. If nothing else, check the the "Crash Course" under the "Learn" tab. It'll probably scare some people, annoy some people, and otherwise make people wonder why they even bothered COMING to my blog. But it's pretty unbiased and doesn't make INVENT any info. It basically uses the government's own data (charts, graphs, etc) against them.

Post Number 1

I've created the one BILLIONTH blog to find a place to jot down my thoughts regarding our struggle with World War III from an historical perspective. "Historical Perspective" means that, whenever a present-day event is addressed, I will try and provide some historical correlation. It's been said that "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it". Honestly, there's not a truer statement ever spoken. Especially now with the Internet, 24 hour news, and a frenzied media, we have less time than ever before to pay attention to what happened in the past when people and societies did the exact same thing that we've done.
Finally, because I'm really all that smart and people reaaally don't have time to read long, drawn-out blog posts, I'll try and keep each post short, bulleted, and "to the point"! I'm not even all that sure that people will read it but when the apocalypse shows up on our doorstep, drunk, stoned, screaming and throwing something heavy in our direction, I don't want anybody saying "Geez, we had NO idea!!".
