End of the World is Nigh
Aug 10th, 2021 at 10:45am
 
Remember those laughable people on the street dressed in a billboard saying the End of the World is Nigh!

...well, it might not be the End.
But I reckon the world is going to go through a lot of poo.

But many futurist writers have predicted this very thing of today many many decades ago. It's not hard to see the obvious outcome of a world that is just one-sided of an Asia-North America Trade connection.
...while the other half of Africa-Australia stays idle, lazy and uncommitted to balancing things. Wink

...anyway, we have x4 more World Wars to go through before the process is finished.


Medical Crises: Global Pandemic.
...Hillsong ScoMo brings in the General and Military to fight the Virus.

Covid is the hoax of the century.
A test returning millions of false positives.
So many survivors, and a vaccine that has been approved overnight which is to be made mandatory around the world.
Hmmmmm.
The end is here now.

...



NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says she is still hesitant to implement further COVID-19 lockdown measures as the state sets a new daily case record and three deaths.

The state recorded 356 new locally acquired cases, with 209 of those infections unlinked.

Fifty-seven of those cases were infectious while in the community, 40 were in isolation for part of their infectious period and the isolation status of 157 remains under investigation.

There were also three COVID-19 deaths in the state.

They were a man and woman in their 80s and another man in his 70s — none of the three were vaccinated and all died in hospital.

.. and Lo... there will be floods and famine and fire, and viruses and rumours of viruses, and wars and rumours of war, and out of the East will rise a vast dragon, and mighty will be his snorting...and all near neighbours go down before, until Armageddon falls fell and wrath upon the blighted land.

And in the West the Angel of the Lord shall rise from sleep, bearing a mighty sword and sceptre, and lo the War To End All Wars will begin......

The only 'Hoax' about the 'Medical' Pandemic is that the Medical Industry is still a subordinated Industry and especially in WESTERN 'Political' nations.
In some regions and nations - the Medical Industry is very weak and like the Israel v Palestine scuffle. It wasn't over Religion, it was just a Military statement that they both consider Military empowerment more a priority than any Medical importance - even during a Global Pandemic.

Not every nation considers Medicine a priority. Most prefer Political Elections and Military Coups or even Religious Gods. Hence why people think in those nations (like USA, Australia) that the Pandemic is a HOAX, because anything medical is chained and shackled by a Political-Military-Religious angle of priority.


One day, there may come a Medical LEADER (Oceania?) that will lead the world in the right Medical direction to the empowerment equal that of Military Emperors, Political Presidents and Religious Gods.

...until then, going by the Media's attention - Politicians are still running the show during this 'medical crises'.
NO WONDER PEOPLE THINK THE PANDEMIC IS A HOAX.

...how could anyone take ScoMo's Medical advice seriously?
Hell, he'll have us waving our hands in the air and speaking in tongues before taking a Doctor's advice, especially a Doctor who is 'free from legalities'.

The end of the world, it seems, is here to stay. No doubt, today’s climate scientists, armed with computer models that spit out mountains of projections, are a far cry from the doomsaying prophets of old.

But it is not hard to discern a continuity between the heat, fires and cyclones the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change announced earlier this week and the flames, floods and famines that have framed one of mankind’s most ancient fantasies.

Long before the many accounts of the last days of humanity were committed to writing, tribal lays had recorded disasters that would presage the demise of life on earth. The Indian version, which figures in the Mahabharata and the Puranas, expected the “Fire of the Cosmic Conflagration” to bring on the universe’s dissolution. And similar to it were the Ragnarok myth of the Scandinavians and the German Gotterdammerung – that fearful time, foretold in the Voluspa, in which mankind would be overrun by “Malice and foulness, Ere the World ends, Ere the Doom fall”.

The Greeks refined those prefigurations into the myth of the eternal return, with its perpetual cycle of destruction and renewal. But it was undoubtedly the Christian vision of the end of days that left the most enduring imprint on the Western mind.

Best captured in the notion of the adventus – that which comes towards us – the end time, in that vision, already exists and its realisation, when it transforms itself into the present, would be merely the ultimate moment of revelation. Always already given and known by God, the apocalypse – or “lifting of the veil” – was viewed as a fate humanity might fear or desire but that was not of its doing.

Deeply marking Europe’s collective imaginary for century after century, that conception of the end time underwent dramatic change in the period that stretched from the Enlightenment through to the late 19th century. As living standards began to rise, expectations of progress and of personal and social improvement, which until then had stayed stubbornly beyond reach, acquired unprecedented immediacy. At the same time, however, new horrors emerged out of the chaos of the Napoleonic wars and from the “dark satanic mills” that drove a huddling underclass into urban infernos.
It was therefore no coincidence that just as the Enlightenment’s central, formative doctrine – that the constant augmentation of knowledge would serve as an inextinguishable engine of progress – gained ground, a radically new version of the apocalypse appeared, with Jean-Baptiste Cousin de Grainville’s Last Days of Humanity heralding its arrival.

A defrocked priest so despairing of the future that he drowned himself in the Somme canal at Amiens on February 1, 1805, Cousin de Grainville shocked his readers by asserting that the world would end in accordance with the laws of nature, not by a word from God. The end would, in other words, come naturally and without any help from divine intervention or human ingenuity – but no less painfully for that.

Absorbed into the maelstrom of romanticism, by the 1830s Cousin de Grainville’s vision of nature turning upon man had spawned a dystopian “counterdream” to the Enlightenment’s dream of perpetual improvement.

Suddenly, Europe’s leading painters, anticipating Bertolt Brecht’s prediction that someday nothing would remain of the world’s great cities except the wind that blows through them, began depicting London, Paris and Berlin as colossal, burnt-out ruins, hulking in an uninhabitable landscape of charred stumps and blackened carcasses.

Yet that secularised version of the apocalypse, in which the end days, rather than revealing the divine will, revealed the innermost secrets of nature’s laws, itself proved transient. As scientific advance accelerated, and the late 19th-century arms race with it, the newly developed genre of science fiction portrayed in spine-chilling terms Europe’s terrible readiness for mutual destruction and its thirst for what Yeats was to call the “blood-dimmed tide”.

In one of Dylan's songs he says he has the feeling the end of time has just begun. He is very good at playing with words. Of course, he is being facetious, the end started they day it began.

The Arctic is the end of the world and Siberia's on fire with smoke at the pole. Putin says Russia has more fire than the chaotic west but Joe will build bigger, and get more gold than China.
