War and Peace... and the Doomsday Clock...


The rulers, the legal protectors of the 1%, have initiated wars... to be servile to the interests of the 1% and also to guard their interests on a global scale...
The soviets... learned in the 1980's that "revolutions," specially fake and degenerated revolutions, cannot be exported... Their failure in Afghanistan ushered the collapse of the Soviet Union later on...
Revolutions start with the people and serve the people... not the bureaucratic elite nor the oligarchs of a nation...
So the Soviets failed... They usurped the ideals of change and of revolution and eventually their oligarchic... bureaucratic regime failed... 
Putin is attempting to revive Soviet Imperialism... But he will fail too...
The collapse of the Soviets initiated a New World order... where the "Western Democracies" reigned supreme... They were not challenged... and they began acting like they own the Global Village... 
First Afghanistan... then Iraq... then the "Arab Spring..." 
The "Western Democracies" wanted to initiate a new game... REGIME CHANGE to usher in new governance... WESTERN STYLE DEMOCRACIES...
But as the Soviets failed in exporting their degenerated ideals... So the Western Democracies failed to initiate any meaningful DEMOCRACY... NOT EVEN A SINGLE ONE...
***
The rulers, the guardians of the 1%, lied about the Weapons of Mass destruction... and invaded Iraq... 
The rulers, the protectors of the 1%, initiated the Arab Spring... which was neither Arab initiated nor it was a Spring... It was a total disaster...
So the rulers initiated wars...
Wars killed many... Wars produced the Refugee Crisis...  Also wars propagated extremism... Islamic Jehadists flourished...
The population of the Middle East and Africa became refugees and we are witnessing a Refugee Crisis on a global scale... 
The Refugee Crisis is nothing but the GLOBALIZATION of HOMELESSNESS...  the homeless whom we witness on the pavements of Western Democracies... is GLOBALIZED...
***
And now the rulers are in panic ...
In November the western democracies were rattled by the tsunami of popular revolt... ushering in a New World Order... First in the U.K. and later in the U.S.
***
Wars begat misery... Misery begat refugees... Refugees initiated a panic in the capitals of Western Democracies... the 1% did not know what to do... and they clung to RIGHT WING POPULISM... which is just modern day fascism...
Franco's Fascists had a slogan... God, Fatherland, and Family...
Modern populist... in the Western Democracies are attempting to imitate Franco... and fascism...

Someone today has said:
"The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for awhile," Steve Bannon, the President's chief strategist,  said during a rare interview with The New York Times on Wednesday.            "I want you to quote this," Bannon told the Times. "The media here is the opposition party. They don't understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States."                                                                       ***                                                                     Who wants to silence the press...?   
I do not like the press that much... They are just the commercialized mouthpieces of the system... But to silence them is just imitating Franco's Fascists... or Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile...

The Doomsday Clock started in 1947 at seven minutes to midnight and has fluctuated since between 17 minutes and 3.  A team of Nobel laureates at the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has been compiling research and analysis to set the "Doomsday Clock" since 1945.                                                                                                                                                                                                   ***                                                                          The Chicago-based Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has moved the “Doomsday Clock,” a symbolic countdown to the end of the world, to two and a half minutes to midnight.                                                     It marks the first time since 1953 — after hydrogen bomb tests in the US and then Soviet Union — that humanity has been this close to global disaster.                                                                                     The group cited US President Donald Trump’s “careless rhetoric” on nuclear weapons and his views on climate change and Putin's adventures and the Refugees among other factors, including cyber threats... scientific developments, that have contributed to the darkened forecast...

Do the "elected" rulers have the right to endanger the world...? Do they have the right to deny Climate Change...? Do they have the right usher in Doomsday...?
The scientists brought the minute hand closer to the doomsday... ! 
The rulers and the 1%... and the Doomsday... !!!

Dystopian Literature Gets the New Bump...
Is the real world stranger than fiction? 
Sales of novels like 1984, with visions of authoritarian regimes, have spiked since the inauguration. George Orwell's 1949 classic, containing themes eerily similar to "alternative facts," is currently Amazon's bestselling book...
Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here has sold out for some retailers. 
Aldous Huxley's Brave New World of drug-numbed masses and Ray Bradbury's anti-censorship Fahrenheit 451 have similarly surged. 
Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale is being printed again... because of the demand...
Totalitarian fiction probably won't move the president, who doesn't read much, but it's inspiring a new generation of readers - and countless social media posts.

Rulers and the 1% should take notice of the new generation of readers...
