think of a global network of control by war and the threat of war, with masses dead or desperately dislocated, looking for refuge. think of a country that's not just a place but is everywhere in force that will do anything by any means necessary to seize control of the precarious planet for the merchants of death. that is u.s. sorry for the rhetoric it's just me thinking too much or too big picture again trying to understand the suicidally irrational 
motives making present reality. imagine collapse in military terms and that's where we are, though there is so much yet to collapse, we've just passed the tipping point, but it will be faster and faster now. it looks like a future of prison camps, refugee camps, war zones, and penthouse towers and mountain chalets for the rich victors of planet dearth.
