Cause we always seem to survive any calamity. Also, what about the Mount Rushmore Coincidences? Could that be a sign of something at least watching over us: Mount Rushmore…Coincidences? When you count the number of letters in our four famous Presidents appearing on Mt. Rushmore in the following order, you find this astounding coincidence: Abraham Lincoln has 14 LETTERS in it... Thomas Jefferson has 15 LETTERS in it... George Washington has 16 LETTERS in it... Theodore Roosevelt has 17 LETTERS in it... THIS SEEMS TO ALMOST "BUILD" ON THE NUMBER 13--THE NUMBER OF OUR ORIGINAL COLONIES. Also interesting, "Mount Rushmore" and "Gutzon Borglum" (the sculptor of Mt. Rushmore) have 13 LETTERS EACH. And BTW, I am not just talking about something supernatural. The History Channel often does pieces on advanced alien (they call the 'Anunaki') that has been watching over the human race since time immemorial. This theory is called the Ancient Astronaut Theory. Thoughts? Reaction?
The Anunnaki would like everybody to know they take no responsibility for this shitshow.... They had nothing to do with it.
i don't know about the "over" part, but i know the rest of the universe is watching our planet and hoping it won't have to be destroyed to protect themselves from the collective narcissism of its sapient species who call themselves humans. i'm sure they would rather be sending around baskets of fruit and bread and other gifts of welcome. but it really is up to humans to get over themselves. and i'm not trying to say there aren't rogue worlds out there too, or that we don't need to avoid being too trusting of strangers, but its ourselves and what we inflict upon ourselves by what we overlook or fail to take into consideration that we are at far greater risk from. yes we may have invisible friends too, but its up to us to learn how this physical universe actually works and how to get along with its doing so. oh and people who like to try and make a big deal about everything do so, often with conflated inaccuracies. and that includes "the history" channel and its pet "ancient astronauts". the real annunuki, were simply proto babalonieons. of ordinary human stature, imagination, and intelligence. the knew how to stack rocks and carve them, principally by the use of lots of patience and over long spans of time, and the use of simple tools such direct percussion and leverage. sorry, no alien technologies, nor tellekinises required. just lots of apples and oranges, and attempts to deny the intelligence, imagination and enginuity, of humans, before there was any such thing as "white" humans.
Codswallop. The Roman Empire lasted 520 years. The Byzantine Empire lasted 1,058 years. The Ottoman Empire lasted 622 years. The British Empire lasted 448 years. The United States has only been a thing for 245 years, and can arguably be called an empire for only 148 years. "We always seem to survive any calamity so far". All conditioned things are impermanent. Even the United States of America.
Even with warts and everything, I do hope that the USA doesn't collapse during my lifetime. I don't particularly enjoy the thought of something like China or Russia taking its place.
i think balkanization would be more likely then a complete takeover. i think many parts of the country would be like afghanistan in the sense of people willing to kill and die to not have any kind of a government at all. but i totally agree i would not want to be living in any place making that kind of a transition. the right way to achieve a sustainable anarchy is by universal and universally mutual consideration, the wrong way is by attacking governments of any kind because that would only change the names on the label. militense is just not every going to achieve the good kind of freedom. not without a plan for self regulation and the maintenance of infrastructure. and i don't have a lot of expectation of the taliban realizing that, nor the "proud boys" and the rest of trump's brown shirts either. america is a pretty darn good country as countries go, even though, a free country, as i would define one, is something that has yet to be seen on this earth. so if we don't want to loose what it has gained, we need to stop creating this kind of militant idea that everything can be solved by conflict, or symbolic value either for that matter. as for gods taking sides in battles, i would really humbly suggest, it most likely to be a very big mistake to assume that any would. even though i know humans like to make up stories about that, but try to remember that it is only humans who are doing so.
