Lol.

Right on queue here's the latest hobglobbin the Globalists are putting out there, out of fear they're losing the plot:

Its so obvious, it's hilarious.

They gotta sell fear because they fear losing their power.

And just like gato says this is what happens when you're losing in the "attention economy".

They're desperate. That's all they have left.

I remember when I was a kid in early 1970's Cali. My babysitter's dad was a full bird Colonel and born again Christian. And I was nosy. I overheard the adults talking in the other room. The Colonel had just come back from Brussels and said that was where The Beast was going to originate from. He had seen it...and it was a giant computer at the heart of it all. I could not imagine such a thing at 9 years old, but now? Absolutely.

Yeah i remember doomsdayers like Hal Lindsey back in the 70's.

It was all the rage after the counter-culture revolution in the late 60's

You know them well! The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The difference is we're planning. No despair if you prepare.

They're just hysterically reacting.

Plus have you seen a fridge in Europe that could even hold 3 days of food for a family?...:)
