Chapter 1e
The Brink of Total Collapse
Unimaginable calamity confronts us



This culture of the celebration of selfishness and greed, supported by the complete abandonment of honor and honesty, has brought us to the brink of the total collapse of the social order. A nation that has ventured into a degree of social madness from which reality itself has been deliberately banished, (in favor of a constant stream of pretense and lies), cannot endure for long. The entire world economy, the entire social order of Humankind, has been enveloped by the effects of this madness, and is teetering on the brink of a total collapse that will bring miseries of every kind down upon the heads of untold millions of innocent people. While our generous ‘representatives’ reach into OUR pockets to ‘bail out’ the very people who have brought us to this precipice of ruin, the safety and welfare of billions of people all over the world hang by the thinnest of threads.

There could not possibly be a clearer example of the depths of corruption to which our so-called ‘democracy’ has fallen than the momentous historical events we have witnessed in the fall of 2008, and in the months since. An overwhelming majority of American citizens expressed our outrage when it was proposed by our elected ‘representatives’ that those of us who are struggling to maintain our lives, those of us who are sick with anxiety and worry over keeping a roof over our families’ heads, those of us who must make choices between paying the electric bill, buying needed medicines, or putting food on the table, must now, as taxpayers, pay thousands upon thousands of dollars EACH, (and/or lay this debt upon our children yet unborn), to ‘bail out’ the very people whose greed for obscene wealth has stolen the security of our families’ safety out from under us.

Those at the bottom of the cruel social pyramid that has relentlessly and remorselessly channeled wealth to the top, must now ‘save’ the obscenely wealthy at the top, (we are told), or else we will suffer even more.

These shameless people at the top of this cruel pyramid, in their ugly orgy of greed and selfish excess, have done what they have done right out in broad daylight, right before our very eyes. But our so-called ‘representatives’ have chosen to completely ignore our righteous outrage, and have voted, also right out in broad daylight, (‘in our face’, so to speak), in direct contravention of our clearly expressed will, with full and outrageous contempt for the Will of The People, to take our hard earned tax dollars and use them to make sure that the gilded linings of the pockets of the rich and powerful are not overly disturbed by the results of their orgy of greed and excess. We have been forced to gnaw helplessly, and impotently, on our seething anger as we have watched this outrageous travesty unfold.
