Sinking Ship

My Easter Meditation

A couple of years ago, I suggested in one of my uninitiated reflections, the world was on the doorstep of severe economic, financial and social crisis of unprecedented proportions. We were facing a downturn on such a scale that nobody have ever seen or heard about and which would eventually lead to the total structural meltdown and end of the civilization as we know it. No longer there will be a state social assistance or health care available, the monetary system will cease to exist and people's hard earned cash savings and retirement funds won't be worth the paper they're printed on. No fuel at the gas stations, no electricity, no clean water running from your tap. Supermarkets plundered and a critical shortage of all life necessities. No functional justice and court system or police enforcement - just state of chaos and anarchy.



Predictably, nobody would take me seriously, my comments were instantly disregarded (by those few who actually read them) as my utopian vision, some sort of ill fantasy, that would never become reality. And even now, not too many people are willing to consider these gloom predictions at least as a remote possibility. After all, it's been repeated endlessly by the financial gurus and the politicians, and happily passed on the naive public through the mass media channels: "Nothing to be worried about. What we are witnessing is just a normal economic slowdown, nothing new, a part of the predictable cycle". Even celebrated Obama himself has promised recently, the troubles are just temporary and everything's gonna be cool and peachy again.


Yeah, right!!! Better wake up and give your head a shake, if you actually believe them! And make no mistake - they know! They just don't want you to see the true, they want you to play along and pretend that everything's fine. Yes, lets fake it for just a little bit longer.


Right now the central banks around the world are pumping billions and billions into the ailing system to save the day. But the matter of fact is, that's all they'll most likely achieve. Keep the sinking ship afloat for now, prolong the agony and buy a little bit more time, before it finally goes down, all the way to the rocky bottom. The whole structure is rotten beyond repair and there is no way out - no "quick fix", no the long term alternative either - simply put: THERE IS NO SOLUTION.


Western capitalism is on its last leg, this model has outlived its usefulness and it's time to get ready for its funeral. And if someone thinks, just I used to do: "I won't live long enough to see it", well, think again! It's already in progress. The fundamental question is not "If" but "When?" How much time do we have left? 2 years? 10 years? Perhaps 20? Nobody knows. But quite frankly, what different does it make? We can't control inevitable - it is a runaway train and nobody can stop it now. Not even your Obama, you all love so much.
