Three momentous words: cataclysm, catastrophe and apocalypse all in one title? How to deflate all this hyperbole (if it can be done)?
Well, at least this is not blatant statement about a nuclear war? Although there could be that as well buried within explosive realities.
Throughout recorded time, as we know, or so presume to know it, there has usually been a few minds throwing cynically-cold water on various ballyhooed or celebrated ideas of grandiosity throughout history (including those of a religious faith nature).

From the depths of the political and spiritual wilderness, I make a confession. Here, my loyalty to Christ stands in stark contrast to the prevailing allegiance to party, nation, or tribe.
There's a litmus test in the Christian community, a divide between Blue and Pink. But it's not about politics. It's about who's a 'True Christian, ' a label often wielded by those full of themselves. They have a built-in meter that judges everyone they meet, giving everyone but themselves an inferior Christianity score.
My journey as a Christian began with my 'Christian' parents. They had their own set of expectations: 'Stop squirming in the Pew… Pay attention to the sermon… Did you say your prayers earnestly? Why are you playing by yourself? This is a church community event.' I always felt like an outsider, struggling to conform to their standards.

How land reform, privatizations of strategic minerals, and Israel's balancing act reveal the economics driving the war in Ukraine
The Western media have oversimplified the war in Ukraine into morality drama theater: democracy vs. authoritarianism, freedom vs. tyranny. It is emotionally gratifying, but it is a saccharine veil for the politics behind the bullets. Ukraine is not just a war zone but also a global finance frontier, a post-Soviet land reform laboratory, and a treasure chest of strategic minerals desired by the United States, Europe, and Asia in roughly equal proportions. Massive agri-concessions, privatized energy reserves, and contested mining concessions have been sold off over the past decade via Washington-K-Street-supported policies negotiated in Kyiv but conducted in Brussels and international institutions.

"Lord of the Flies is a story made up by a disturbed Nazi..."
Did you know that the murders and rapes and free-for-all violent chaos in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina didn’t actually happen, and that the consistent pattern during major disasters is for people to go out of their way to help each other, for the news media to falsely report murder and mayhem, and for authorities who imagine most people are like themselves to send in armed troops to create a second disaster?
Did you know that the Lord of the Flies is a story made up by a disturbed Nazi afficionado and depicts the opposite of various real-world cases in which kids have treated each other with great kindness?

It, I suppose, is really easy to denigrate and castigate Jews as a whole after watching them laughingly slaughter Palestinian civilians of all ages about which I wrote here: Red Light—Green Light And Other Games Played by Children And Murderers Alike. Moreover, many greedy individuals are looking forward to making more literal and financial killings from the destruction of Palestine as is discussed here: https://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2025/05/20/how-can-anyone-tell-palestinians., How Can Anyone Tell Palestinians and Jews Apart and Who Should Own Palestine?
The fact, though, IS that Jews — like every other self-identified, separate, tribal group — is like all of the rest of them — meaning that they all represent a range of behaviors and aims in their midst’s. So we can easily find light and dark skinned people, Muslims, Christians, Hindus and other groups with moral and kindly individuals, as well as ones amongst them, who are murderous fiends and hateful of ones designated as outliers from their own group.

All empires need their scribes. Today's American experiment does not have meek diarists; it has court showmen, smiling graciously and recounting acts of power. From the coiffed late-night television news readers to the gilded columnists at legacy newspapers, a system of reporters operates more as gatekeepers of truth and less as watchdogs, hiding inconvenient truths within layers of civility, repetition, and Stage-managed outrage. These are the New Age Carnies of Disinformation, the Court Jesters of Mistruth.
They don't merely report, they manufacture consent both in real time and by digital AI algorithms. They frame genocides as exigency, corporate misbehavior as mistake, and institutional collapse as sheer coincidence. Their authority is not narrative; it is compliance: controlling what the public observes, what it thinks it understands, and above all, what it is never allowed to inquire about. These are the Overlords of Mind Control Alchemy.

A Love Letter to Cognitive Dissonance
Chapter 1: Flippant FedGov
2013: Snowden shows the NSA has been reading everyone’s mail, listening to everyone’s calls, and archiving your cat photos in Utah. FedGov’s reaction? Fury — not at mass surveillance, but at the man who pointed it out. Lesson learned: spying is patriotic, whistleblowing is treason.
2014–2016: Flint’s kids drink lead while the EPA issues “commitment” press releases. The Trans-Pacific Partnership — drafted by corporations — is sold as “job creation.” Jobs, yes… just not here.

I, personally, am literally at times sick of the Canadian, Maine and other firestorms impacting the air quality where I live in central MA. However, I prefer that scenario over living here in this photo below where a hoard of greedy and greatly determined would-be entrepreneurs (Trump minded individuals and conglomerate members of assorted soy, beef, pig ham, gold, etc., consortiums) want to take down/dismantle the rest of a remaining wilderness for a personal financial gain — including land belonging for centuries to indigenous natives in Brazil and other South American countries or to the Palestinians in Gaza. …
In other words and as our human population keeps growing, more and more people will resort to theft (of resources, land, water and more) to make a financial (and sometimes literal) killing of others (indigenous natives and Palestinians included as, for example, had happened to natives in the formation of the USA, Canada and some other American nations) to try to make a private fortune (or simply to just eek out a mere humble living) for themselves.

Information is power, government records access is a valuable resource for anyone who yearns to have a transparent and accountable government. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is perhaps the strongest method for obtaining access to government files, shedding light on the activities of public bodies and figures and bringing to light the truths that lie buried in the dark.
The Origins and Evolution of FOIA
The United States Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was enacted into law in 1966 with the objective of opening up government federal records to citizens. It was a milestone towards openness that would give assurances that information within the custody of government agencies could no longer be confidential unless exempted by specific exceptions. Though initiated at the national level, the FOIA principles have shaped the enactment of comparable legislations in other nations, significantly advancing the world's demand for government accountability. FOIA requests can reveal the most mundane aspects of government, such as reports, letters, and policy responses, to surveillance records and classified information that was declassified over the years.

A Palestinian family telephone call is not private. It goes through a Microsoft Azure cloud server utilized by the Israeli military. The call is copied, stored, indexed, and analyzed by AI scrutiny. The system grades participants on their "threat level" based on voice, location, word usage, and contact history. THE PEOPLE USING PHONES ARE TARGETED BY DRONES AND MISSILES.
Our shared Panopticon (e-Cage) is not targeted eavesdropping. This is dragnet intercept—every call, every message, every signal vacuumed up by intention. The machinery is private. The intent is military. Gaza is a proving ground for a global kill system. In the words of George W. Bush, either you are with us, or (we kill you) you are against us.
