Bang-and-Whimper, by James Howard Kunstler

It doesn’t take much imagination to see what’s going on now in the Middle East turning into World War III. From James Howard Kunstler at kunstler.com:

    The endless beating of war drums is to condition normie who isn’t going to like it after the trumpets fade.

    This contemporary version of humanity won’t be able to handle kill more of them than ours coffins on the tarmac WWII style.

    Also the endless assault on our democracy, democracy is in peril, crap on every channel.

    Saw one where they made a screen collage and every so called “journalist” was saying the same thing in synch, that means the orders came down of what to say in a coordinated fashion.
