i took a glance at the global threat report. it's a tedious screed anyone with a scintilla of intelligence would immediately recognize as ruthless propaganda for further wars of conquest and corporate expansion. the genius of this empire is it's totally unbound by any regard or responsibility for life beyond the board rooms, walled communities and private towers of the warlords, executives and heartless shareholders. it uses governments and nations, races and hates, and girds the world with military bases and prisons, but is beholden to no one and nothing but it's own power.
yea, it'll pass, but what will it pass into? homeostasis? ha, more likely, extinction.
