"TEOTWAWKI" sounds far-fetched?

Also a case of the general population (namely us) being desensitized.

That is true. None the less, trouble is brewing. Has been on the simmer for two decades. We never made the pot bigger, and the fire is burning hotter. And we know this.

The sad thing is people generally dont have a clue about what is going on around them.

Not even when it hits them in the face...

Haha that was me just making light of the situation ;)

I did not down play it to say it won't happen or ain't serious. It is! My dad has been seeing it come for years as well and have prepared accordingly or tried to prepared our family accordingly.

I hope we will not reach this state, but it seems to be sooner and much less of a fantasy..

Excellent article, and as Manservant said, this crystallises my thoughts exactly.

There are far too many protests that we never hear all of them, many just a few Km's away and are never reported.

The systems are broken, and just waiting for the country to realise.

Everything is painted over to look bright and shiny, but inside they are all patched with masking tape, if they are lucky they have access to duct tape.
