It is not enough to say that the illusion of independence and individuality were both devised and perpetuated upon the masses to ensure a cohesive bonding within a national boundary. It is better to say that it is the link which secures and fastens us to the illusion that it is for our betterment. And that nationalism further instills pride and association, even as it limits individuality. Therefore, independence and individuality are but the illusions that we have some sort of control over our lives.
And too many were becoming aware. Too many could read the signs and determine their eventualities; while glamour once more returned to the White House. 1981 was somber as our hostage crisis ended, but by ’83, Reagan had signed the EO that forbade anyone with the wherewithal to these eventualities, to speak of them publicly under threat of incarceration for life. Needless to say hundreds more learned of the impending cataclysmic events which would soon be upon us, and were killed off in numerous unassuming accidents. Obama fearing for his life created the EO granting the President the authority to affect Marshall Law without intervention of Congress. And in 2017, 200 entertainers were eliminated from the lists of potential future survivors. These numbers are insignificant when compared to the usual hundred thousand citizens reported missing each year, which has swollen to over one million these last half dozen.
Countries had been folding throughout the decade. First Greece, then Venezuela.
Support for many of these countries were in vain and eventually discontinued like Belarus where we invested billions into a resurgence of tourism, while retooling their airlines. And Argentina since the late 80’s, only to have them fully collapse in 2014. Likewise, Belize and Jamaica succumbed to a lack of exports and fell that year too. The Ukraine is holding out, but even Russia wants nothing more to do with them. Brazil and Great Britain have been existing on handouts this decade as well, but the most ridiculous is America doubling their debt to over 21 trillion dollars these past two decades. Thus, the demise.
There is a loop that many of these governmental heads have been brought into. Once in, coercion decrees what actions will be taken, along with where and when. It is a smoky glass reflection that even they do not understand, but they know living is better than dying. And for everyone else, there to be sacrificed. Presentations are made, planning to be foretold, and the illusion continues to mask the changes to the masses. That is, until the dollar falls as the standard for global currency. Which is exactly what happened next. European banks and creditors wanted solvency and extracted payments. China, Japan, and Korea discontinued exporting, as did the Scandinavian countries. Threats came upon the US from both Mexico and Canada, as not only did capital cease to exist, but soon so did products. Rioting, looting, and many more despicable acts were carried out over the next years. Without electricity and the invisible web, communications eventually halted as well. There were round-ups and battles and slaughters, and anyone still left alive wasn’t really sure of it. And that was just in America.
