Disaster per se need not lead to violence, as Rebecca Solnit argues in her book A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster. She documents five disasters—the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina; earthquakes in San Francisco and Mexico City; a giant ship explosion in Halifax, Canada; and 9/11—and shows that rioting, looting, rape, and murder were not automatic results. Instead, for the most part, people pulled together, shared what resources they had, cared for the victims, and in many instances found new sources of joy in everyday life. However, the kinds of social stresses we are discussing now may differ from the disasters Solnit surveys, in that they comprise a “long emergency,” to borrow James Kunstler’s durable phrase. For every heartwarming anecdote about the convergence of rescuers and caregivers on a disaster site, there is a grim historic tale of resource competition turning normal people into monsters. . . . → Read More: Conflict And Change In The Era Of Economic Decline, Part 2: War And Peace In A Shrinking Economy, By Richard Heinberg

Our leaders behaved despicably, and continue to, and we allow it to happen e.g., Democrats boast of Obama “getting Bin Laden” in a reprehensible attempt to gain political leverage from the tragedy… actions that Democratic partisans would have, rightly, shamed a Republican president for attempting to exploit. . . . → Read More: The Crucible Of Political Disenchantment: “Dismiss Whatever Insults Your Soul” By Phil Rockstroh

The Empire is crashing! Hooray!!!! The exploding population has met the dwindling resources. For many centuries we of the “civilized” world have been the physical and mental captives of elite groups within our societies that control us physically and feed us mentally. Those who have always assembled themselves around the emperors for six thousand years; the preachers, the money changers and the generals, provide for us the values of our societies, the power relationships and provide their created image in our minds of the picture of reality they wish us to view. Now the breakout. . . . → Read More: Our Liberation: A Crashing Empire, By William Kotke

And so when an empire attempts to send a message to other communities… a message that says—We need what you have and we will take it if you do not hand it over—well, the message better be pretty convincing. The message better ensure success; after all, the existence of an entire empire is at stake. And that is why terror works. It is traumatic. It gets the message across. But what it also does is it leaves an impression on those it hurts. And some people who are deeply hurt indeed reach a point of rage; and to foment rage, and, to show those who are left with nothing but these feelings of enmity and vengeance, how to terrify others, creates a “death spiral.” It is nationalism against nationalism… Fanaticism versus fanaticism… A way of life versus another’s way of life… all dancing the same dance: a pas de deux of terror. And this reciprocal terror dance doesn’t necessarily make our culture become, as Nietzsche understood it, “the monster that we are attempting to fight,” but merely reveals that this culture has always been that monster we are attempting to fight. . . . → Read More: The Terror of Empire’s Death Spiral, By Frank Smecker

Empires communicate in two languages. One language is expressed in imperatives. It is the language of command and force. This militarized language disdains human life and celebrates hypermasculinity. It demands. It makes no attempt to justify the flagrant theft of natural resources and wealth or the use of indiscriminate violence. . . . → Read More: Recognizing The Language of Tyranny, By Chris Hedges

America’s military and economic empire could collapse at any time, but predicting the precise day, week or month of its potential demise is unattainable, according to a former New York Times war correspondent who spoke with Raw Story.
