The Red/Purple Vortex

     “Israel and the United States are Merging their Militaries.” So, Bibi Netanyahu says to Donald Trump, “What’s yours is Ours, and what’s ours is Mine.  So step aside, Donald; we’re running things, now.”

     Perhaps it is fitting that the two most hated terrorist regimes on the planet, the United States and Israel, should merge into a single angry monster.  As I have been stressing lately, the increasingly erratic and negative manifestations of these two rogue nations is related to the plunging levels of consciousness in both regions.  Both the United States and Israel are floundering in the very distressing negative energy phase of what I call, according to the aura colors, the Red and Purple Vortex (vide: The Colors of the Aura).  

     More and more of the planet seems to be engulfed by this negative vortex, and the prognosis does not look good.  Perhaps it is all fundamentally caused by the confusion attendant upon the pending end of life on earth as we know it due to the collapsing of our biosphere.  Since everyone is stressed out knowing that “we’re all going to die,” their consciousness goes into free-fall, and anger, hostilities, war, and genocide quickly follow and accelerate in the wild ride to extinction as this Red/Purple Vortex takes us spinning ever more rapidly down the drain of the whirlpool the human race has created for itself.

     And it is totally beyond any possibility of reversing course.  The present brouhaha between Iran and that terrorist Colossus of Evil, the United States merged with Israel, is putting the plight of our planet in brilliant relief.  The world currently burns through in excess of 100 million barrels of oil per day.  The very threat that those levels of consumption will be impacted by reduced oil available due to the control of the strait of Hormuz causes world economies to panic.  And yet, at the same time, it is becoming increasingly clear that the daily consumption of those 100 million barrels of oil will not only have to be entirely curtailed, but that is just a beginning ~ we will still have to deal with the elevated levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere [Plant More Trees !  Ride a Bicycle !].  So if the threat of reducing the consumption of oil by 10 or 20 % causes world-wide panic and depression, what are we to think of the necessity for curtailing this consumption altogether ?  Are we just doomed to go down to extinction because of an inability to change the accumulated habits of the human race ?

     Perhaps the “Plain Folk” (Amish, and others) had it right all the time ~ perhaps we would all be better off if we lived on the land, growing our own fruits and vegetables, and avoiding such “works of the Devil” as the automobile, motorized farm tools, television, computers, the internet, video games, and AI.  With horses to drive our carts and carriages, and animals to draw our plows, there will be plenty of rich organic manure to compost, so that our gardens will continue to be rich and fruitful.  

     On the other hand, Business as Usual, which is the prevailing default value, has brought us to this mess, and there seems to be no serious attempt to make any systemic changes.  So we go on fighting wars, mindlessly, somehow hoping that some Golden Age mirage is just over the next hill.  “If we just keep on bombing long enough, something will have to happen.”  Oh, yes; happening it will be, and is.  As long as the wars are going on, “only the lawyers are making any money,” or, in this case, “only the arms merchants are making any money.”  In any case, apart from the arms merchants and the lawyers, all the rest of us are losing value very rapidly during wartime.  

     It is all so senseless.  The Israelis say that “any defense of Hamas is tantamount to support for terrorism.”  But they have it all backwards.  The State of Israel is the greatest State Perpetrator of Terrorism in the World (with the United States running a very close second), and Hamas is part of the heroic resistance to an avowed, publicly acclaimed, and proudly declared campaign of genocide, including total extermination or removal of the Palestinian people, craftily targeting the children in particular (nipping in the bud).  And, while almost the whole of the rest of the world shrugs its collective shoulder (and/or contributes to the Israeli War Machine not only by selling them arms, but even by gifting them arms and money for them to continue their genocidal activities [looking at you, Uncle Sam], Iran is practically the only country courageous enough to stand up to the sinful Israelis and Americans and demand that the Israelis give up the destruction of Lebanon, on top of Gaza and the West Bank.  

     And so the two sides become more and more polarized, each side believing that their own murderous activity is essential in the War of Freedom, Democracy, and Capitalism against the Forces of Evil, Communism, and Terrorism, while the other side is completely Evil Incarnate, bent upon the total destruction of Life, Liberty, and the American Way.  The terms and slogans that each side wave along with their flag vary according to the players on the stage, but the essential message of their angry accusations are remarkably similar (We are All Good, the Elect of Heaven, and They are All Bad, and must be exterminated as vermin).  

     The only way out of this vortex unto death is via such a radical change in the activities of the human race as seems to be way beyond any possibility of imagining.  

     Is there anything left in that old bottle of absinth ?
