This is what might be going on
On different levels things are moving in opposite ways, creating a movement that can be represented in a simple diagram with two lines: one going up and one going down, creating an x-like figure. But the descriptions explaining the lines are not as simple. For instance, the invasion of our privacy goes up, but then also does criticism about it. And at the same time the quality of the measures that are eroding our privacy is going down due to the failures of the techniques used, the impracticality of the massive amounts of data gathered as well as the misuse of new laws, such as when police demand to see identification - this does not catch terrorists, but is instead used to expand power and drive up fines.
The number of dead and wounded in the expedition in Iraq makes the pain and sorrow index go up, adding to the record violence that our world has seen the last one hundred years. But another trend is going against the grain, picking up momentum, so much so that harsh criticism has come from the inner circle of the ones who initiated this violence based on deception. This is a bitter victory for the millions who opposed this war in the first place, but who were not heard by their representatives. Part of the opposing trend is the fact that, aside from views and ideologies, the Iraq war for example does not seem to be working, unless you are of the school who regards the insurgency as part of the strategy of devide and conquer.
These two trends are becoming more and more visible. The point at which the two lines representing these trends collide is crucial. These collisions happen all the time, but the impact is getting bigger because of the media attention and the growing importance of the actors. It makes a difference if the media is a xeroxed pamphlet or a nationally broadcasted documentary. It makes a difference if the actor is an activist on a soap box or James Baker III scolding the Bush policy. The greater impact of the collisions shows that on many levels things are getting pushed to the extreme, but that at the same time it's the pushing of these extremes that is causing things to fall apart and get noticed. It becomes more apparent what Antony Sutton - the researcher/author who first published on Skull & Bones - said to me: 'It is not about left and right, it is about us and them'. It will be a matter of time before this is understood on a worldwide scale. The question is whether or not the extremes will have pushed us over the edge by then, or if there will still be anything left to take back of what we gave away all the time.
