    There is a line in a song “The revolution will be synthesized” has come to mind as I have noticed the same things. My partner works in FEMA and we have been debating if the agency is functionally dead or not, with me arguing it is. There is another agency I am especially worried about that was also in the DHS umbrella as their people seem to be absent.

    A year ago I was on a short list of people asking about the NWS “firewall” and its status - https://www.fao.org/4/U4220T/u4220T0a.htm

    Currently trying to research what happened in the last few years that the NWS could undo roughly 5 years of work in the 80’s in under a year. Anyone reading this know of a public archive of NWS surveys in Central America?

    Otherwise it feels like there is a measurable movement to try and force a literal “Armageddon”. Hegseth pushed the “This is a holy war” or “final war” to the military in the early days of Operation Forgot About Epstein or the war with Iran. Add in Thiel’s fascination with the antichrist and it really feels like a death cult maybe operating inside the government.

      Not maybe – is. They’re not hiding it. It’s going under-reported because it sounds insane, but they really believe this. It’s part of why they’re cutting funding and programmes related to the climate crisis. It’s not that they don’t think it’s real; more that they think that’s part of their accelerationism.

      A bunch of senators including Mike Johnson were in Israel last year for a big ceremony doing a practice run for their planned red cow sacrifice that’s meant to usher in the apocalypse. The Heritage Foundation believes in this shit, and it’s behind a lot of Project 2025.

      They’re nuts, and they’re serious about this. They’ll happily kill us all in their pursuit of this.
