The Sum of All Fears

Andy C

Well-known
All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy. – C.S. Lewis

"The Sum of All Fears" (2002) is a political thriller based on Tom Clancy's novel of the same name. The story follows a CIA analyst Jack Ryan, who slowly discovers a plot by a European neo-Nazi group that is aiming to get the two superpowers (the US and USSR) to wipe each other out allowing them to create a fascist European superstate. The crisis begins with the detonation of a dirty bomb (nuclear) in Baltimore, Maryland. It is further exacerbated by the Russian attack on a US aircraft carrier. As tensions rise, Ryan discovers the bomb's black-market origin, and races against time to prevent a global conflict.

While a work of fiction, this film strangely resonates with the current state of the world. Instead of a neo-Nazi group, we are witnessing the globalist elites from various backgrounds manipulating their populations to foster division and pave the way for a fascist global superstate. Instead of a nuclear warhead, they are using censorship to silence and penalize their critics. And what the governments cannot do legally, they have their corporate confederates in the technocracy enforce upon the public. It’s the Deep State orchestrating conflicts between the left and right, conservative, and liberal, black and white, gay and straight, rich and poor, citizen and non-citizen, observing the eruption of civil strife, and seizing control in the aftermath. In essence, it mirrors the enactment of the Hegelian dialectic on the grand scale.

The Times of the Gentiles
 
From the article:

Historians have noted that the average age of the modern empire (since 1AD) appears to be between 200 – 340 years in length. This doesn’t mean right at the 200-year mark, the nation collapses. What it does mean, is that nations/empires rarely stay in the same form for more than 200 years. We can see this transition very clearly through the 900-year existence of Rome, which went through five different stages before ultimately becoming an imperial autocracy. The Scottish historian Alexander Tytler chronicled this in his “Cycle of Nations” which shows in fact that those who do not learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.

  3. From courage to liberty
  4. From liberty to abundance
  5. From abundance to complacency
  6. From complacency to apathy
  7. From apathy to dependence
  8. From dependence back to bondage
 
We are currently moving from complacency into apathy. At least we were until Donald Trump showed up. He inspired American Patriots to stand up, and the mass of Americans did so. This threw a serious wrench into the globalists' plans. What we have been seeing since 2016 is them struggling to undo what Trump did. And what we are seeing now is them trying to remove Trump entirely from the equation so that they can get their plans back on track.
 
I'm seeing the U.S. going from dependency to bondage right now. At least here. Too many people utterly dependent on the government and charitable institutions. Too many people actually insolvent; not just living paycheck-to-paycheck, they're living cc payment-to-cc payment and falling farther and farther behind as balances climb, interest on outstanding balances increases both due to interest rate hikes and aforementioned growing balances, and fees for delinquency and not paying cc of every month. Too many people declaring bankruptcy and starting the vicious circle all over again after the court wipes everything away (and creditors ultimately getting it from those, who pay their bills). Not enough people working and paying taxes, and taxes getting higher and higher. Old people on fixed incomes getting taxed and insurance-rate-hiked out of their houses, and nothing smaller and more affordable available. Fortunately, no filial responsibility law here.
