Global melt downs (with no way to deal with them) are inevitable. There will be no food deliveries, no water, no medical help, no nothing; everything depends on electric and fuel. And then, the gravity wave will set off every volcano and earthquake that was about ready to go, adding to the picture. The only "humanity" that will survive will be those in the underground bunker cities that have allegedly been being built since when? The 50s? Who knows ...if this is a MAJOR event, they are going to be down there forever ... how long do you think the surface radiation alone is going to last?
All I know is, the picture I have called this event - the end of the road - and the projected picture of cause and effect possibilities would seem to agree. It was also very specific about the fact that we don't think correctly, we follow "dead end roads" of illogic - and - we don't even see THAT much. After looking at that picture for a few years, yeah, I can see why. In these forums, they are protected by a "group think" mentality, and when there is no protection from thoughts they don't want to see (like this group) - THEY LEAVE - they are off to find a mentally comfy place where they can live their delusions and be free of fear. Oh well, not my problem.  "...men are not so far from the truth as they generally believe. Their greatest error is in searching for it where it is not, and in attaching it to forms; whereas, they ought, on the contrary, to avoid form in order to dwell upon the essence." Fabre D'Olivet
Rather than STOP and say, 'Woops! I'm headed in the wrong direction,’ we tend to place a premium on projecting a consistent image of ourselves and try to rationalize our initial decision despite increasing evidence suggesting we ought to do the contrary. B M Staw
