La caduta dell'impero anglo-americano 2012-2014






Sono contento che Mario del Pero abbia scritto questo articolo
e condivido il commento di Franz Libero Bonomo.
Penso che Del Pero sia fin troppo generoso nei confronti del suo oggetto di studio, forse abbagliato dall’ammirazione per una civiltà che ha segnato nel bene e nel male la storia del mondo per oltre un secolo. Purtroppo i padri fondatori si vergognerebbero della loro figlia, che da modello per il mondo è diventata uno squalo pronto ad intimidire e fare a pezzi chiunque interferisca con le sue brame.

Questa è l’idea che mi sono fatto io in questi ultimi anni della parabola statunitense.
Le maggiori potenze asiatiche stanno prendendo le distanze dal dollaro e si profila, sempre più incombente, l’incubo dell’attacco preventivo (e suicida) israeliano:
Una guerra che, inevitabilmente, degenererà in un conflitto globale:
E che gli Stati Uniti non si possono permettere:
Né le cose migliorerebbero, anche se si optasse per le vie di pace:
Lo hanno capito gli immigrati latinoamericani, che stanno prendendo la via del ritorno verso le loro rispettive patrie: "È finito l'esodo dei messicani negli Stati Uniti. Si è ridotta a un rigagnolo l'immigrazione che per un secolo ha plasmato la geografia etnica di molti Stati di confine come California, Arizona, Texas, ma anche di grandi metropoli come New York. È sceso ai minimi storici dagli anni Settanta il numero di ingressi, mentre molti Messicani tornano nel loro Paese. Il cambiamento si riflette anche negli arresti alla frontiera: solo 300mila clandestini fermati, mentre erano 1 milione e 600mila nel 2000" [Federico Rampini, "L'esodo interrotto dei Messicani, La Repubblica, 6 dicembre 2011]
Tutto questo mentre negli Stati Uniti si proseguono le sperimentazioni per creare guerrieri perfetti, ossia per rendere psicopatici degli esseri umani normali:
Si autorizza l’assassinio di scienziati stranieri (da parte del Mossad?) con azioni che, se compiute da potenze straniere ai danni di scienziati americani, sarebbero condannate come terroristiche:
Si invadono nazioni per espostare la democrazia e i diritti umani:
Si formulano progetti di legge e si promulgano leggi a dir poco discutibili:

Faccio fatica ad immaginare che gli Stati Uniti, così indeboliti e radicalizzati, possano subire una sorte diversa da quella del bullo che le riceve di santa ragione da una coalizione di vittime determinate a vendicarsi una volta per tutte. Democrazia e diritti umani saranno esportati negli Stati Uniti a suon di bombe, come l’America ha fatto per decenni.
Per tutte queste ragioni, non ritengo sia corretto parlare di “tornante” e di “parziale alterazione” della natura e delle caratteristiche dell’egemonia statunitense. Penso invece che tra 2012 e 2014 assisteremo al crollo fragoroso dell’impero anglo-americano e l’Europa è schierata con i perdenti. Saranno tempi interessanti.

I decreti del destino guidano chi è consenziente, e trascinano chi non lo è
Seneca

Che giova a un uomo guadagnare tutto il mondo se perde l’anima sua?
Marco, 8:36

Per cosa è nato l’uomo se non per essere un riformatore, un rimodellatore di ciò che è stato fatto; un rinunciatore delle menzogne; un restauratore della verità e del bene, ad imitazione della grande natura che ci stringe tutti al suo petto, e che mai si assopisce su passato remoto, ma si ripara in ogni istante, offrendoci ogni mattino un nuovo giorno, e con ogni pulsazione una nuova vita?
R.W. Emerson

Pensiamo troppo alla farina, parliamo troppo di farina, scambiamo troppi buoni per la farina, il burro, la carne e il formaggio invece di libri e pensieri. La farina è la nostra unica preoccupazione. Dal tanto guardare farina non riusciamo nemmeno più a vedere che ben altre cose si fanno sempre più rare e razionate, come il diritto, la dignità, il parlare libero. Scordiamoci della farina, di tanto in tanto! Per lo meno della nostra, di farina, e pensiamo un po’ di più a quelli che ne hanno meno o non ne hanno del tutto.
Emmy Moor, lettrice del Berner Tagwacht, 22 aprile 1943

Una regione europea alpina non ha bisogno di ancorarsi ad “un’origine etnica, linguistica e culturale comune a tutti i cittadini”: invece il contratto politico tra le genti alpine si dovrebbe basare su un progetto di tutela del patrimonio comune (le Alpi), definendo strumenti comuni, valorizzando le diverse tradizioni. La regione europea alpina sarebbe espressione di una cultura politica da spirito europeo e federalista, che pone in primo piano la persona, i suoi diritti, la sua capacità di influenzare le decisioni, valorizzando le identità complesse e non il criterio dell’omogeneità etnica
Bruno Luverà, I confini dell’odio. Il nazionalismo etnico e la nuova destra europea, 1999


Lo storico altoatesino Claudio Nolet, che cura la pubblicazione della rivista «Il Cristallo», ha chiesto a me e a Mauro Fattor di immaginare cosa il futuro possa avere in serbo per l’Alto Adige. Alla sua domanda, che fa riferimento al libro “Contro i miti etnici. Alla ricerca di un Alto Adige diverso” (Raetia, 2010), segue la mia risposta.

“Nella seconda parte Fait svolge il tema che gli sta più a cuore, quello dell’affermazione della libertà della persona rispetto a modelli precostituiti e a norme fissate dalla collettività. È una posizione forte che ci fa chiedere se dalla sua analisi dei miti etnici non risulti che contro di essi non ci sia altra possibilità di riscatto se non con un atto di conversione radicale. Non c’è anche la via di una graduale correzione di abiti mentali generati dall’influenza dominante dell’ambiente?”

La mia risposta è che esistono molti futuri possibili, una situazione analoga alla premessa di “Il giardino dei sentieri che si biforcano”, di Jorge Luis Borges. Molto dipende dal numero di residenti in Alto Adige che risponderebbero affermativamente alla domanda: “ci sono persone in Alto Adige così ignoranti, faziose e poco lucide che sarebbe meglio privarle della libertà d’espressione e del diritto di voto, almeno localmente?”.
Molti intervistati non risponderebbero sinceramente, quindi non sapremmo mai l’incidenza effettiva di questa mentalità autoritaria. Quel che sappiamo con certezza, invece, è che contrapporre un gruppo all’altro serve unicamente ad ostacolare la maturazione della società civile e quindi a giustificare misure paternalistiche e tecnocratiche da parte delle autorità nei confronti dei cittadini. Dal che ne consegue che il cambiamento non proverrà dall’alto. La storiografia lo conferma: chi detiene il potere non ama il cambiamento, a meno che questo non serva a rafforzarne la posizione. Perciò la conversione, graduale o subitanea che sia, deve cominciare dal basso, dalla gente comune.
Nei Promessi Sposi, Alessandro Manzoni commentava la difficoltà con la quale pochi riuscivano ad esternare il proprio scetticismo in merito alla reale esistenza degli untori con una frase davvero molto bella: “Il buon senso c’era, ma se ne stava nascosto per paura del senso comune” (cf. cap. XXXII). Il potere repressivo della tradizione (il senso comune) sulla voce della nostra coscienza (il buon senso) è quello che, finora ci ha impedito, non solo in Alto Adige, di farci un’idea chiara di come dovremmo stare al mondo. Anche da questo dipende il successo delle riforme auspicate, che sono riforme delle coscienza e, in quanto tali, si avviano solo quando i tempi sono maturi.
Lo sono, in Alto Adige, questi tempi? No.
E quando lo saranno? Credo molto prima di quanto ci si potrebbe aspettare. Il malessere che attraversa il mondo intero lascia intendere che non ci sarà gradualismo, anche se quella sarebbe la via più auspicabile. Ci sarà una cesura, un prima e un dopo. Tutto sta nel capire come ci si arriverà. 

Grandi pensatori si sono succeduti nella storia ripetendo sostanzialmente due verità, rimaste per lo più inascoltate, che ci sarebbero di grande aiuto: “fate agli altri ciò che desiderano sia fatto loro” ed “a ciascuno il suo”, o per meglio dire “da ciascuno secondo le sue capacità, a ciascuno secondo i suoi bisogni”. Quest’ultima è una norma di condotta che non si trova solo in Marx ma anche nel Nuovo Testamento, nella forma: “Nessuno infatti tra loro era bisognoso, perché quanti possedevano campi o case li vendevano, portavano l’importo di ciò che era stato venduto e lo deponevano ai piedi degli apostoli; e poi veniva distribuito a ciascuno secondo il bisogno” (Atti degli apostoli 4, 34-35).
Sono verità facili da memorizzare ma difficili da mettere in pratica per degli esseri viventi così egotisti quali noi siamo. Se li avessimo ascoltati, non ci troveremmo alla mercé delle multinazionali, dei guerrafondai, dei populisti, dei settarismi più disparati (i famosi golem di cui sopra). Se li avessimo ascoltati, avremmo capito che la vita migliore è una vita sobria e che questa civiltà dei bisogni indotti e della loro complicazione e proliferazione ci sta portando alla rovina.
Avremmo anche capito che chi si avvinghia ad un paradigma obsoleto quando questo si sta estinguendo, finirà con esso nell’abisso. Sono convinto che quel momento stia sopraggiungendo – a causa della crisi del capitalismo e della crisi climatica, che avrà effetti imprevedibili e presumibilmente agghiaccianti, nel senso letterale del termine – e che molti rimarranno sorpresi di quanto fragili siano i presupposti, così superficiali ed esteriori, su cui si fondano le nostre società “avanzate”, incluso l’Alto Adige. 
“Contro i Miti Etnici” (CME) è nato anche per offrire una visione alternativa, recuperando quella che ha ispirato le migliori forze riformatrici del passato, l’idea di un luogo in cui uomini e donne godono della piena libertà di cercare la verità e di coltivare la loro vita interiore. Dove ci si riunisce e si lavora assieme per il Bene Comune, quello degli esseri umani e quello della natura.
Era questo lo spirito con cui fu fondata l’America e molti sionisti credevano in un Israele molto simile a questo “luogo dell’anima”. Credo che Alexander Langer fosse sostanzialmente in linea con questo tipo di aspirazioni. Oggi, purtroppo, Israele e Stati Uniti paiono avviati a convertirsi nell’antitesi di queste visioni nobili del destino umano. Il nostro compito dovrebbe essere quello di impedire che ciò accada all’Alto Adige.
Ma, per avere successo, dobbiamo sforzarci di far capire a quante più persone è possibile che è giunto il tempo di lasciar andare la presa, di togliersi dall’ombra dei golem, di allontanarsi, ciascuno nei suoi modi e nei suoi tempi, dai paradigmi che erano validi prima ma che ora rischiano di trascinarci a fondo. È tempo di procedere oltre. “Quand’ero bambino, parlavo da bambino, pensavo da bambino, ragionavo da bambino. Ma, divenuto uomo, ciò che era da bambino l’ho abbandonato” (1 Corinzi 13: 11).
In queste fasi di grandi sommovimenti, di insicurezza, di trepidazione, di enormi sfide, è facile irrigidirsi, tornare sui propri passi, verso il bordo della vasca, verso la riva. Ma è importante insistere, perché molti di noi sanno già nuotare e non devono disperare solo perché tanti altri – quelli che indossano un’armatura di maiuscole totemiche: Disciplina, Tradizione, Patria, Dovere, Natura, ecc. – vogliono convincerci che se gli esseri umani fossero fatti per stare in acqua, avrebbero branchie e pinne.
Per il momento, finché non giungerà il tempo della Grande Cesura, sarà necessario fare buon viso a cattivo gioco e conformarsi alle sue regole, ma nella consapevolezza che quel gioco e quelle regole sono sorpassate – “al tempo stesso dentro e fuori dal gioco, osservandolo e meravigliandosene”, diceva Walt Whitman. Nella consapevolezza che chi si oppone al cambiamento apparterrà al passato e chi invece si lascia sospingere dall’onda del cambiamento apparterrà al futuro, sarà il futuro
Mi rendo conto che sposare una causa che richiede una vera e propria apocalisse della mente non sia semplice, ma i fisici hanno pur dovuto ammettere che il modello newtoniano di un universo meccanico, gerarchico e perfettamente ordinato era una descrizione inadeguata della realtà. Anche noi arriveremo ad accettare il fatto che i golem non hanno mai avuto alcuna esistenza reale, ma erano il parto delle nostre fantasie, delle ombre, dei riflessi, degli idoli di burro che si sciolgono al sole dei fatti, dei parassiti che s’impiantano nella nostra coscienza per poi dirle cosa fare solo a patto che li riconosciamo come nostri signori e padroni: sono qualunque cosa, ma non la realtà.
Capiremo che venerare i golem esige da noi la negazione di quasi tutto ciò che occorre per preservare il nostro equilibrio psichico e la nostra integrità morale ed intellettuale e per indurci alla sottomissione, alla negazione di sé, alla contrizione, all’espiazione, alla docilità, all’umiltà interessata – virtù utili solo a chi cerca di sopprimere il libero arbitrio e la dignità altrui e propria.
Capiremo che credere nella dignità umana significa cercare di sviluppare le proprie potenzialità invece di lasciarle latenti; resistere alla tentazione di imitare gli altri o conformarsi in modo irriflessivo alle usanze, mode e mentalità prevalenti; resistere alla tentazione di fingere di essere ciò che non si è, di recitare una parte per gli altri e per se stesso; e, più importante di tutto il resto, significa attribuire ad ogni singola persona questo pensiero: “ho una vita da vivere, è la mia vita e quella di nessun altro, è la mia unica vita, fatemela vivere. Esisto e nessuno può prendere il mio posto, perché non sono stato programmato per essere ciò che sono diventato” (Kateb, 2011).
Allora saremo anche pronti ad accettare l’idea che il principio fondante delle nostre società sono i diritti, non la democrazia, perché una democrazia che non sia costituzionale (una democrazia plebiscitaria, del tipo che è tanto in voga nelle Alpi) non è più tale: il costituzionalismo limita i capricci della sovranità popolare. I diritti esistono indipendentemente dalla nostra volontà, non scaturiscono dalla volontà popolare. Nessuna maggioranza referendaria li può abolire, anche se fosse un singolo diritto di una singola persona che non se ne curasse più di tanto. Statuti, convenzioni e carte costituzionali non li rendono possibili, li riconoscono, perché non sono stati inventati, sono sempre esistiti. Sono verità di per sé evidenti, evidenti per chi abbia una sufficiente conoscenza, coscienza e sensibilità (Kateb, 2011).
Dopo di che saremo pronti a disfarci della pulizia etnica concettuale attraverso la quale cancelliamo l’altro dalla nostra coscienza, rifiutandoci di riconoscere che il diritto di noi tutti di esistere implica anche l’obbligo di comportarci con decenza l’uno verso l’altro; e che se la mappa non è il territorio, ossia se la nostra mappatura della realtà è soggettiva, solo uno stolto si rifiuterebbe di consultare le mappe altrui, magari persino vietandole. La censura ed il paternalismo sono garanti della menzogna e dell’impostura, annunciatori di sventura.
In Alto Adige ciò renderà possibile il superamento di un sistema che è nemico della dignità umana ed in contraddizione con i diritti umani e che è stato tenuto in vita da chi ha continuato a credere che fosse possibile avere la botte piena e la moglie ubriaca, che si potessero trattare i cittadini da bambini, anche quando sono già adulti.

Le Olimpiadi del 2012



Conosco tutti gli argomenti utilizzati per giustificare le legislazioni dettate dall’emergenza. Cioè quando la difesa dei diritti, e quindi della libertà, per alcuni diventa un lusso superfluo. Io ero in Parlamento negli anni di piombo. E chi difendeva le garanzie era indicato come un fiancheggiatore dei terroristi. In quel momento, e per lungo periodo, in Italia cambiò la percezione della libertà. Di fatto si disse: il fermo di polizia, la perquisizione di abitazioni per blocchi di edifici si possono fare. E nella media la gente fu d’accordo. […]. In simili casi può cominciare un processo di mitridatizzazione: a piccole e progressive dosi, si abbassa la soglia di percezione della tua libertà
Stefano Rodotà, “Intervista su privacy e libertà”, 2005, p. 94.

Nei concili di governo, dobbiamo guardarci le spalle contro l'acquisizione di influenze che non danno garanzie, sia palesi che occulte, esercitate dal complesso militare-industriale. Il potenziale per l'ascesa disastrosa di poteri che scavalcano la loro sede e le loro prerogative esiste ora e persisterà in futuro. Non dobbiamo mai permettere che il peso di questa combinazione di poteri metta in pericolo le nostre libertà o processi democratici. Non dobbiamo presumere che nessun diritto sia dato per garantito. Soltanto un popolo di cittadini allerta e consapevole può esercitare un adeguato compromesso tra l'enorme macchina industriale e militare di difesa ed i nostri metodi pacifici ed obiettivi a lungo termine in modo che sia la sicurezza che la libertà possano prosperare assieme.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, discorso di addio alla nazione, 17 gennaio 1961

Il 2012 sarà un anno gravido di conseguenze.
Ci sono le elezioni presidenziali in USA, Francia (6 maggio), Russia (4 marzo), India, Messico (1 luglio), Taiwan, Venezuela (7 ottobre). C’è il cambio della dirigenza cinese. In Iran ci sono le elezioni parlamentari (2 marzo). Si elegge anche il sindaco di Londra (3 maggio), a poche settimane dall’inaugurazione dei giochi olimpici, che si terranno proprio a Londra, tra il 27 luglio ed il 12 agosto 2012.
Si dice che il posto più sicuro del mondo sia una cella di isolamento. Per rendere Londra “il posto più sicuro del mondo” (parole del sindaco), saranno mobilitati 12mila poliziotti, 8mila mercenari e guardie giurate e 13.500 militari, molti di loro parte delle forze speciali della Royal Navy, dell'esercito e della Raf (Royal Air Force). “Aerei da combattimento Typhoon ed elicotteri garantiranno la sicurezza nei cieli. Due navi militari forniranno aiuto logistico e sorveglianza marittima: la Hms Ocean stazionarà sul Tamigi, a Greenwich, sud-est di Londra, mentre la Hms Bulwark, nella baia di Weymouth, a circa 210 chilometri a sud-ovest di Londra”:
È probabile che si impiegheranno missili terra-aria per proteggere i cieli di Londra:
E i famigerati droni, nonostante il fatto che in 3 casi su 4 le forze di polizia che li hanno testati li abbiano poi scartati:
I voli sospetti saranno dirottati sull’aeroporto scozzese di Glasgow Prestwick:
L’esercito si prepara ad un possibile attacco terroristico con uso di “bomba sporca” ed un enorme numero di vittime, al di fuori di Londra:
Il complesso militare-industriale, contro cui ci aveva messo in guardia Eisenhower, sta usando le Olimpiadi di Londra per fare le prove generali, in virtù di un quadro legislativo che ha già compromesso la tenuta della democrazia in nome della lotta al terrorismo (cf. Rodotà) e di un progresso tecnologico impressionante. La Terribile Minaccia là fuori – misteriosa, invisibile, imprevedibile, onnipotente, onnipresente, incessante – farà camminare i cittadini al passo dell’oca, se sarà loro richiesto di farlo, per il bene comune e la sicurezza collettiva:
La gente non crede che Regno Unito e Stati Uniti potrebbero mai subire una svolta autoritaria. Eppure i loro rispettivi governi hanno appoggiato dittatori e istigato golpe militari in tutto il mondo per tutto il dopoguerra, senza che i loro cittadini trovassero la cosa troppo imbarazzante e spiacevole:
E hanno già realizzato almeno un colpo di stato mascherato negli Stati Uniti:
Cosa succederà quando saranno loro a stare dall’altra parte e subire il trattamento che i loro governanti hanno finora riservato solo agli altri, agli “umani straccioni”, considerati di minor valore, minor dignità, minori diritti?
Negli Stati Uniti è già tutto pronto:
In Inghilterra la polizia è autorizzata a sparare ad altezza uomo se si dovessero verificare altri vandalismi:

"È successo un quarantotto!" - La rivoluzione del 1848 e quella del 2012



Per l’anno scolastico 2011-2012, il tema prescelto per il “National History Day”, un programma di didattica storiografica che coinvolge mezzo milione di studenti americani e 30mila insegnanti, è “Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History”.

In precedenza, ho scritto: “Mi aspetto un 1848 su scala globale e molto ma molto più poderoso e sanguinoso. Una cosa senza precedenti, tipo un 1789 planetario”:
Ho poi scoperto che lo ritiene possibile anche un giornalista dell’Indipendent (che mi ha anticipato di alcuni giorni!):
Andreas Whittam Smith, “Western nations are now ripe for devolution”, The Independent, 20 October 2011

Meglio dunque dare un’occhiata a questo famoso ’48.
Il “48” fu caratterizzato da malcontento popolare, irrequietudine, frustrazione, forte volontà di cambiare le cose, insofferenza e risentimento nei confronti di chi esercitava il potere economico e politico, defezioni tra i membri delle classi dominanti, crisi economico-finanziaria, crescenti disparità sociali, uso della forza da parte del governo per bloccare le proteste. Gli ingredienti ci sono già tutti.
Il 1848 fu transnazionale (Italia, Germania, Francia, Danimarca, Romania) e globale: gli attivisti neri per l’abolizione della schiavitù negli Stati Uniti inviarono denaro ai rivoluzionari tedeschi, alcuni tra i quali, una volta sconfitti e trasferitisi negli Stati Uniti, ingrossarono le file degli abolizionisti, per gratitudine e per principio. Disoccupazione e carestia spinsero contadini, operai e classe media a fare causa comune. 
Il 48 scoppiò in primavera (“la primavera dei popoli”), già in estate (“l’estate rossa”) si verificò una scissione tra radicali socialisti e moderati liberali (come al tempo della Rivoluzione Francese: Mirabeau contro Robespierre), che all’Est si sommò ai dissidi interetnici. Queste divisioni indebolirono il movimento e vennero sfruttate dalla Reazione. In autunno ci fu un ritorno di fiamma del movimento rivoluzionario (”Estate Indiana”, specialmente in Italia e Germania meridionale), ma i potenti passarono al contrattacco: la contro-rivoluzione si concentrò sulla soppressione delle insurrezioni in Germania e Italia ed sulla guerra contro l’Ungheria, nel 1849. Alla fine, la Seconda Repubblica si convertì nel Secondo Impero (al tempo della Rivoluzione Francese: Direttorio e Napoleone Bonaparte). Nel 1851 gli Ungheresi si arresero.
Quasi ogni fase della rivoluzione fu preannunciata da eventi parigini, amplificati dal telegrafo, dal trasporto su rotaia e su nave a vapore, come un contagio. Ma, contemporaneamente, i rivoluzionari in fuga da Italia e Germania influenzarono le dinamiche rivoluzionarie francesi. Già allora, fatte le debite proporzioni, vi era un’interazione paragonabile a quella dell’era digitale: le istanze locali si riconoscevano in uno spirito comune, paneuropeo, solidale.
Il 1848 fallì perché il libertarismo nazionalista (che è prima di tutto conservatore) ebbe la meglio sulle rivendicazioni sociali e democratiche. Tuttavia, da quel momento, i regimi non-costituzionali furono costretti a mettersi sulla difensiva e rimasero isolati. La popolazione europea non era più disposta a rinunciare a certi diritti che ormai considerava fondamentali ed alla democrazia parlamentare che se ne doveva fare garante.

Nel 2012, Egitto, Grecia, Italia, Spagna e Francia saranno presumibilmente i paesi in cui l’impatto della crisi economica si farà sentire più pesantemente, almeno inizialmente, e quelle a maggior rischio di esplosione sociale proto-rivoluzionaria. Poi arriverà il momento del mondo anglo-americano, e saranno gli scossoni di un elefante. A quel punto l’Unione Europea come la si intende oggi e come la intendevano i suoi fondatori sarà un ricordo del passato. Tutto questo potrebbe essere evitato con la remissione dei debiti, ma non succederà mai: l’avidità di alcuni è senza limiti ed ogni rivoluzione offre l’opportunità di istituire nuovo ordini sociopolitici, a volte più autoritari di prima, se il terrore rivoluzionario ha sgomentato a sufficienza la popolazione. Non è improbabile che una svolta rivoluzionaria sia già stata prevista e programmata. Non è però chiaro come chi sta in alto possa sentirsi certo di poterla cavalcare, su un pianeta in subbuglio climatico e tettonico.

All’inizio del 1848 nessuno si aspettava che la rivoluzione fosse imminente, ma le precondizioni c’erano tutte. Oggi siamo in frangenti paragonabili a quelli del 1848. Negli ultimi 25 anni il divario tra ricchi e poveri è cresciuto stabilmente, la tendenza alla sperequazione si è diffusa come un contagio, a partire dagli Stati Uniti di Reagan e dal Regno Unito della Thatcher. Un recente studio dell’OCSE indica che persino Danimarca, Svezia e Germania sono state contagiate dal virus delle disparità. Oggi, nelle nazioni occidentali, il reddito medio della fascia più ricca (10%) della popolazione è nove volte superiore a quello del 10% più povero. I dirigenti in molti casi guadagnano 200 volte più dei loro dipendenti. Nessuna società può sopravvivere quando si trova alle prese con tali squilibri di remunerazione e tenore di vita, per di più in un contesto di incessante recessione, crescente disoccupazione, estrema difficoltà a trovare un primo impiego dignitoso, aumento dell’inflazione, contrazione dei salari, incremento del costo degli affitti e dei mutui. Non è certo per caso che il denominatore comune delle proteste degli indignati e degli occupanti di tutto il mondo è la rivendicazione di un sistema più equo, più rispettoso della dignità umana del 99%, contro l’avidità e la corruzione del 1%.
Anche le rivoluzioni del 1848 iniziarono in modo confuso, casuale, disorganizzato, guidate da intellettuali che non avevano alcuna esperienza politica e non erano uomini d’azione. La forza della spinta popolare si rafforzò a causa delle incertezze e delle repressioni dei governi ed il movimento si auto-organizzò spontaneamente, perché vi era l’esigenza di farlo.

Previsioni di Jacques Attali per il 2012




Jacques Attali, http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Attali, che nel 2006 aveva correttamente previsto una crisi globale più grave di quella del 1929, ci avvisa dell’incombente catastrofe (e sceglie una data interessante per farlo: 11 settembre 2011):
Sta per arrivare un doppio choc ed è tempo di prepararsi. Doppio perché riguarda la crisi bancaria e le finanze pubbliche. Sarà qui tra breve e nessuno ci ragiona sopra, come se bastasse non pensarci per scongiurarlo. Ecco come si svilupperà: la Grecia non dispone più degli strumenti per finanziare il suo deficit, smetterà di appianare i suoi debiti, una parte delle pensioni e dei salari pubblici. Tutte le banche che hanno prestato denaro alla Grecia e le aziende che le hanno venduto armi e prodotti di prima necessità subiranno perdite. Eppure la Grecia non uscirà dall’eurozona, perché nessun trattato la costringe a farlo o lo rende persino possibile; nessuno può obbligare i Greci a convertire gli euro che possiedono in dracme di minor valore. Nessun salvataggio della Grecia con le magre risorse del fondo europeo di stabilizzazione. Non si creeranno Eurobond perché ciò avrebbe senso solo all’interno di un sistema fiscale europeo e di un controllo europeo dei deficit nazionali, per evitare abusi. In mancanza di strumenti finanziari adeguati, le altre nazioni europee abbandoneranno la Grecia al suo destino. I mercati, ossia in pratica i creditori asiatici e del medio oriente, si preoccuperanno per questo abbandono e aumenteranno il costo dei prestiti a Portogallo, Spagna ed Italia. La crisi investirà la Francia, quando ci renderemo conto che la sua situazione finanziaria è persino peggiore di quella italiana (il cui budget, fatta esclusione per l’impegno di debito – “Ammontare di capitale e interesse che viene pagato, solitamente su base annuale, in cambio di un finanziamento, sia che sia un mutuo ipotecario che un titolo obbligazionario” – registra un’eccedenza, a differenza della Francia) e che le sue banche e compagnie di assicurazioni sono oberate dalla gran parte del debito pubblico dei paesi minori e detengono ancora massicce quantità di titoli tossici, che ora sono privi di qualunque valore. Per evitare il collasso di queste banche, cercheremo azionariato pubblico o privato. Invano, perché per le sole banche francesi sarebbe necessario l’equivalente del 7% del prodotto interno lordo francese. Presa dal panico, la banca centrale europea acconsentirà ad un massiccio finanziamento di queste banche, ricadendo nella prassi di risolvere un problema di insolvenza attraverso la creazione di nuova liquidità. Scioccati da questo lassismo, la Germania uscirà dall’euro, creando un euro+, com’era già da tempo nei piani e che, stando ad una banca svizzera [immagino si riferisca a questo documento:
costerà a ciascun cittadino tedesco dai 6 agli 8mila euro il primo anno, e poi 3500-4500 euro all’anno. L’implosione dell’euro svelerà ai mercati che le banche anglosassoni non sono messe meglio, perché anch’esse non si sono liberate dei titoli tossici e perché la bolla immobiliare è al termine e non può più nascondere la realtà. A quel punto seguiranno il collasso del sistema finanziario europeo, una grande depressione, disoccupazione generalizzata e alla fine persino la messa in discussione della democrazia.
FONTE:

Attali ha scritto “Demain, qui gouvernera le monde?” (2011), in cui delinea lo scenario di una confederazione planetaria democratica: “questo tipo di governo esisterà un giorno. Dopo un disastro, o al posto di un disastro. Occorre pensarci urgentemente, prima che sia troppo tardi. È tempo di organizzare degli stati generali planetari”.
Ecco alcune sue recenti interviste (in francese). Mia sintesi per sommi capi in italiano:
Il mercato è globale ma la democrazia non lo è – la crisi ha creato ripiegamenti identitari e xenofobi – serve una struttura europea più forte – tutte le organizzazioni mondiali (incluso il fondo monetario internazionale) vanno messe sotto il controllo dell’assemblea delle Nazioni Unite – unica maniera per far pesare le opinioni di paesi in ascesa e non solo quelle dei soliti noti e per governare le grandi crisi come l’incidente nucleare giapponese – un’altra catastrofe paragonabile a quelle del ventesimo secolo è possibile se continuiamo ad essere così narcisisti, autistici ed incuranti.
Servono regole del diritto mondiale non dettate da una plutocrazia – basta con la NATO strumento degli USA, NATO strumento dell’ONU e basta ipocrisie con le guerre a metà: se è una guerra la si chiama guerra. Se si fa una guerra è per vincerla e va votata in Parlamento. Serve una polizia mondiale, prigioni mondiali, ecc. – è a favore della guerra in Libia e dell’intervento in Costa d’Avorio – Obama, dopo Wilson, è il presidente americano più intelligente, colto e sofisticato e quel che dice va preso sul serio, ad esempio quando ammette che gli USA non hanno più i mezzi né l’intenzione di governare il mondo e cercano di condividere questo ruolo con le altre democrazie – dal monocentrismo al policentrismo, perché i problemi sono troppo immensi – governo mondiale per prevenire un’esperienza come quella del Novecento, quando il rifiuto della mondializzazione ed il processo di demondializzazione hanno portato alla Grande Guerra prima ed al nazismo e comunismo poi. Attali afferma che siamo in una fase molto simile a quella a cavallo dell’Ottocento e Novecento: enorme espansione dei traffici, forte sviluppo tecnologico, terrorismo, crisi finanziaria, protezionismo, ecc. – siamo sull’orlo di un altro conflitto mondiale e del caos – la questione è se l’unione planetaria si farà al posto di una guerra o dopo una guerra: come la società delle nazioni proposta prima della grande guerra ma nata dopo, o l’unione europea, proposta prima della seconda guerra mondiale ma nata dopo – “è evidente che ci sarà un governo mondiale, si tratta solo di capire se avverrà al posto di una catastrofe o in seguito ad una catastrofe”.
Ci sono molti trattati e molte istituzioni ma sono caotiche. La prima cosa da fare sarà quella di raggruppare in un unico codice mondiale tutti i testi esistenti – ci avviciniamo ogni giorno di più ad un massiccio crack obbligazionario perché i debiti pubblici si accumulano e se ci sarà una nuova crisi bancaria, gli stati non potranno più giocare il jolly del debito pubblico, perché sono troppo indebitati – la soluzione è porre in atto un vero sistema monetario internazionale, solido ed organizzato, in modo tale che le banche facciano solo il loro mestiere ed aumentino la copertura dei fondi propri. Ma succederà solo dopo un’altra crisi.
Governo mondiale sarà totale perché i problemi (disoccupazione, crisi ecologica) sono globali e l’umanità è una totalità – ma non sarà totalitario (non dovrà essere per forza totalitario). Dobbiamo dimostrare di essere capaci di creare delle istituzioni totali democratiche perché altrimenti saranno totalitarie e la barbarie farà il suo ritorno – in questo sistema futuro il presidente francese dovrà diventare un garante dei diritti umani “perché questi saranno fortemente minacciati nell’avvenire”.
Siamo diventati tutti dei vicini e questo è un movimento irreversibile – ogni catastrofe si verifica a causa della mancanza di regole mondiali – se non ci mobilitiamo nel senso di un governo mondiale tornerà una fase di oscurantismo – la storia non si ripete nella stessa maniera e questa volta sarebbe peggio – in questa fase della storia mondiale tutti i germi del fascismo e del totalitarismo sono presenti – c’è un chiaro pericolo che la gente si appelli all’uomo forte e nessuno, all’inizio del secolo scorso, si aspettava che entro vent’anni l’Europa sarebbe stata coperta di dittature – i germi sono già qui tra noi e il rischio di una dittatura si contrasta solo con l’apertura all’altro, l’altruismo, l’interesse nei confronti del prossimo – stati generali del mondo necessari per far capire alla gente che il governo mondiale non è un complotto plutocratico – al momento siamo su un aereo (il pianeta Terra) che è senza pilota e senza cabina di pilotaggio – a ciò si può rimediare in ventiquattr’ore fondendo il fondo monetario internazionale, il consiglio di sicurezza dell’ONU e il G20: il potere di questo direttorio dovrà essere controbilanciato dall’assemblea generale delle nazioni unite (un parlamento mondiale).

Dreams of the Future (collected from various internet sources)



TOTALITARIAN SOCIETY, POLLUTED FUTURE – Let me share a dream I had in 1988. I was somehow searching for something when I realized that people were chasing me (so far normal dream). I found myself in a lighthouse running up a spiral staircase with a bunch of secret service people in trenchcoats and pistols after me. When I got to the top of the light house I turned to confront my pursuers. Just then an oval hole opened in mid air next to me and a petite brunette with short hair and a midnight blue full body suit of some kind of spandex popped out. She told me there was no time, and that she had things to show me. She pulled me through the hole and we ended up in a desert war scene with jeeps swerving as mortar shells were falling left and right. The clothes the soldiers were wearing looked like desert storm material. She said: "This is your near future", which I gathered somehow to be prior to 2020, but closer to the beginning of the new century. She waved a hand and opened another hole and took me through. She said: "And this is a farther future", she mentioned some date that could have been 2025 or 2250, that part was fuzzy. But she said that farther future resulted from the nearer one. She left me there, saying she was much farther down the time line. In that farther future, I was in the Amazon in some kind of research colony performing genetic experiments. The community was a bunch of these large saucer-shaped habitats that could be at ground level or raised to a height of several hundred feet along a central tower. The place looked like a park with large ponds and these buildings. There was a brontosaurus in one pond chewing plants, and other animals that were difficult to define. The sun was setting and over to one side there was a road leading to some mine where genetically engineered miners worked. These were 7ft gorillas with the heads of horses that had human proportions, but were very muscular carrying sacks to one side of the community where there was some kind of refinery. I found someone in white coveralls, who assumed I was just part of the community, as I told him I was doing some report for school or something. He told me they were testing new slaves as many humans were sick and could not work. Apparently this place was a permanent community away from it all with the families of researchers, who were well-off and considered themselves lucky to be there. I woke up after a bit more exploring.

ECONOMIC CRISIS, WARS, REVOLUTIONS, ICE AGE – In my dreams surrounding 2012, I dreamt of first major global tensions around 2010: possibly economic crisis, war in some regions and political and social upheavel. Then by 2012 some sort of weird or cosmic thing happens, maybe a solar flare, one or two big tidal waves and a small climatic shift but no major stuff (at least many survive). By 2014 there seems to be less people and a colder climate (at least here) and by 2020 I have dreams of little people in cities, no cars and few shops, but a higher spiritual and religious interest. I will be living in a rural community by then. Then, decades later, cities become more high-tech, but many will be living in small communes.

DIFFERENT PHYSICAL LAWS, AMERICA'S LANDSCAPE RADICALLY ALTERED - The main features of my really marvelous dreams are played out in a variant of the 'regular' world of the here and now.  Instead of the Pacific Northwest being comprised of Puget Sound,  the Olympic Mountains are gone and the coast is much differently shaped.  There are an assortment of additional ferry boats, small towns, and so forth.  The topography is much more along the lines of Maryland, but rising to a high plain east of the big regional city, which has what's a Gotham-like feeling to it.  The tone (if this makes any sense) is that semi-real sense that came across in the early Batman films, but better lit, of course.
Most dreams don't involve too much travel, but there's enough of it in the dream world that here lately, I've taken to moving about a bit more in it - purposefully trying to map it.
Oh, sure, lots of curious things happen there, including an ability to fly and 'ride the energy grid' of earth.  The curious thing about the flying is that it seems to come in two distinct flavors.  One flavor is accomplished in a kind of 'hoverboard' way.  You run  a few steps and then make a 'hop up' motion and then ride along for as far as you're interested.  It takes very little effort to do this, but there's one trick to it:  You need to be sure of the direction and the presence of of a solid energy grid/ ley line otherwise you fall flat on your face.  That was a fun dream to have, trust me.
The other way of flying it a little more complicated to achieve and the first time you do it, you'll likely be alone in a confined space.  In my particular 'learn to fly' dream, I was at a hotel (or some such) and the learning was very much a matter of concentration on the topic.  It starts with being relaxed and 'tuning in' to a particular buzz or humming sound that can be tapped into that seems to encompass the area from about the navel up to mid-chest.  It's hard to describe it, but it's a cross between a hum and a buzz...very much a vibrational thing.  Very powerful and deep in the chest.
The lands south of what would be the Pacific Northwest are more regular and not nearly as expansive as Oregon and California.
To the east, our home in Texas is in a much different kind of land; hard to describe it, except to say that the Cascade Mountains are lower, and while what 'feels' like Texas is over there, it is not as big; taking only 3-4 hours to drive, not this 3-day agony of real life.

CHANGED PERCEPTION OF REALITY –  I was outside with some of my family and we were looking at the sky. Some part of it seemed like it had a hole in it. It's kinda hard to describe, but it seemed like the sky we see isn't the "real" sky, but instead I got a peek of what is really there. The sight of what I saw was really astonishing. I saw planets which were really nearby and constellations of stars, and that in broad daylight. The "hole" seemed to grow bigger and bigger until it covered the entire sky.

DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURE, NO CARS – There were no wooden or brick houses. All the buildings were domed over in bright red, blue, and yellow. There were no people or vehicles in evidence. I saw an electric bus on the street. There were no cars. I asked where the cars were and I saw shown one car and it was on the river.

SMALL COMMUNITIES NEED TO BECOME INTERCONNECTED – There were lots of small groups and they were aligned in several columns and that seemed to be a very precarious way of living. The people were arranged in a loosely arranged stacks and not at all connected. Then I noticed some new people come in near the bottom of the groups and they began to form a bridge between the 1st stack and the 2nd stack of people which made both stacks more stable. I could see immediately, that the more bridges people built between each group, the more stable the whole of humanity would be.

UNHEEDED WARNINGS OF A DARK FUTURE – I love trains and I was crossing the track before the train got to the path, which was all well and good, but as I turned to tell the others that the train was coming, a young blonde boy was following me and would have been on the railroad tracks when the train came. So, I had to turn back and grab the boy up into my arms to keep him out of harm's way until the train went by. Then I could go home. That was all well and good, but when I turned back to wait for the oncoming train, some people, riding bicycles were slowly riding down the path on the other side of the tracks and were slowly coming across the tracks to the school and didn't see or hear the train coming. So, I yelled at them, "Get off the tracks, the train is coming." That was all well and good, but that didn't make the people move any faster. They actually stopped on the tracks to look to see if the train was actually coming like I was saying. Then, more and more people came behind them, all on bicycles, dressed in heavy winter clothes. They were all ON the track ahead of the train, riding slowly and nonchalantly. That would have been all well and good that they were coming to the school, but the train was coming down the track faster than they were riding. I yelled even louder at them to get their attention, "THE TRAIN IS COMING, THE TRAIN IS COMING!" Some people turned to look and see if I was telling the truth, but nobody moved faster at my warning cries. I was like my words were falling on deaf ears and I started to feel afraid for them. I just couldn't get them to move faster before the train got there.

SHORTAGE OF DRINKABLE WATER - My dreams are all in color starting middle 2005. So everything I dream nowadays, they are enhanced and I can see details, feel alive and thus feel weak after each dream of the flood because I would feel as if I really experience the dream. A few days ago, I had another dream in which me & several others had great difficulty finding clean water. In that dream, we were living in a dirty surrounding, dirty soil everywhere and the only clean running water comes from a dusty pipe where the was very little water coming out.

SAME AS ABOVE – I have had a recurring dream of a little boy pointing to a tap(fawcet) and asking this old lady what it was. She tells him what it was and what it used to do! At first he laughs, saying “Gran, that’s silly, no one can make water leave the river without a bucket.” She tell’s him again it’s true. And he wistfully looks at it, wishing it would work so he wouldn’t have to walk to a dirty river to wash, drink etc. The end(sic)

IMPRISONED AND DRUGGED – I’ve had a dream where I was imprisoned in a prison that had no gates and we were free to go wherever we wanted. The only problem is, they drugged our food with something that got us all addicted so we always felt the need to come back to the prison everyday to get our dose of drugged food because we couldn’t live without it. So even if we had the liberty of going wherever we wanted, we would always come back in the “prison” everyday. I forgot to mention it but it was like a poison/antidote because I remember seeing people die around me because they didn’t go back to the prison and when I tried to resist going back, I felt weakened and couldn’t even walk but I woke up at that point with a weird feeling.

METEORITES, FIRES – In another dream, I was running with my 3 youngest children, there were meteorites falling to the earth, and I knew we would be safe if we could get to this place we were running to, as we neared there, I looked to the South and saw a wall of fire, I gathered my children around me and we all crouched down, I told them not to be scared, that we would be okay, we closed our eyes and then I woke up.

HUNTED AND KNIFED – I remember running down the streets of a ruined, abandoned city. Running for my life. I turn down an alleyway and come straight to a dead end. I remember thinking I don’t have time to get over the wall that blocks me before they get here. I turn to fight and all I see are the most hateful eyes I have ever seen. I can’t make out any other features just those cold, hateful eyes. Then I feel the blade go in just below my sternum. It comes out of my back to one side of my spine. I’d wake up still feeling as though I’d been impaled and clutching at my chest... everytime without fail. I think the reason this one stopped is that I understand without a doubt that I was having a vision of my own death sometime in the future and that it doesn’t have to happen.

FEW SURVIVORS – And the sun went into a dark eclipse and it looked like the world was crumbling out from under me. I Was in the middle of a huge city and there was nobody there, i mean nobody. no noise, just some car alarms, birds and some animals. Then a bomb shelter thingy opened and exactly 13 people came out. Later more people came from nowhere(there was a timelapse) and we started our community out of a few people. we stayed on the move looking for more people. We settled down in a small city and had gathered everything from cities we had visited. we were the last. then i got woke up.

UNDERGROUND SHELTER – in this dream i’m under ground with all these people what looks like to be my tunnel that i’m building but there alot more people then i thought would be in there. there are kids running around and people are sick, or are to weak to move there bodies. i go to the surface and i can’t see any blue sky there all black. i here generators in the distance and i see a power cord i follow it to a green room for growing food. and i keep seeing these flashes in the distance and very loud booms like theres a war going on or something. everyone is crying and they all look to me for help.

METEORITES – there are so many of these rock things, various sizes, and they don't necessarily destroy everything, but they are EVERYWHERE and you can see them coming from a long distance away - they start out as spots in the sky and gradually get closer until they are in the atmosphere or whatever, I'm not really sure how they land, etc.

NEMESIS AND UFOs – All of a sudden the entire planet begins to move/shake, but the movement of the Earth isn't as startling as the noise "it" makes. Like a grind, a screech, and a hum all at the same time. I then notice that there are some people around me and they commenting on how it was the Moon. Either I neglected to notice the Moon before or it just appeared in my dream at a certain point in the eastern sky, but either way it was CLOSE. If I were to estimate it seemed as if it were maybe half the current distance. Another thing that startled me was the fact that the Moon was horribly distorted, as if it had been hit by something massive. The majority of the top right and bottom left sections of it were completely missing (my conscious thoughts remember it as looking like the dividing line in a yin-yang symbol, or a thick letter 's'). Next, in the western sky I noticed a shining red star/celestial body. It's hard to say how close it was to me because I don't remember knowing if it was a star or a planet in my dream so I have no guess on the size of the object. If it were a star, it would have been farther away than the Sun, but you could still make out a circular shape to it, rather than a blip/dot like all other stars. If it were a planet, it had to have been fairly far away, but closer to us than any other planet. Finally, I remember a ship/aircraft of some sort flying over at an enormous speed; faster than anything I've seen IRL but slow enough to actually track it across the skies with your eyes. The ship was in our atmosphere, but quite high up, and I'm not sure if it was a human aircraft or alien, but I remember feeling a sense of fear in the dream as if it were an alien spacecraft.

NEMESIS AND THE MOON – Well I'm assuming its two moons, but anyway me and my oldest daughter are outside, its chilly but not cold. And she is like look, pointing up and to the south, its the moon in its waning position and you can see a bright star off to its higher point. I was like yeah thats pretty and I get my camera out and she is like oh my god mom look at that, pointing alittle more to the side, that can't be the moon to, and it looks like a huge full moon.
She was terrified in my dream but I was more in awe and peaceful feeling, it was weird.

BIGGER/CLOSER MOON – I looked out at the window and the moon was coming up in the west. It was 10 times bigger than normal. Was the moon closer or was that an illusion? Since when does the moon come up in the west? Just that fast, the clouds were scudding northward n the sky again really fast. It seemed like the whole city skyline was moving with it.
TSUNAMIS/FLOODS – Then one day I was watching a TV show where some people said they had received dreams and visions and saw maps of the United States of America being overcome by the ocean. Some said this was caused by earth quakes and some said by a comet hitting the earth. One said it was a combination of both, that the earth quakes were caused by the comet or something hitting the earth from space. The East, West and South coastal areas were submersed in water. The coastal cities and towns were under water. Many millions of people were killed in these events. LA, New York, New Orleans and almost all of Florida were under water. A huge section of the central U.S. coming up the Mississippi River was under water. Massive areas of Texas was under water. Islands dotted the Western areas where California, Oregon and Washington States once were. Huge areas of Mexico were totally submersed in water.

FLOOD AND ICE AGE – All of a sudden, a large wall-size map of Wisconsin appeared, which I could touch. The lower southeast quadrant of the state was more or less inundated by water. All the lowlands was covered by water, with patched of land where the hills were. Then anther map of Wisconsin appeared in the same place. This one was totally different. There were no features on the state at all - it was light brown and flat all the way down to south of Chicago. On this map, it said, ' ICE AGE - 2123' [2023?] Below the Illinois border, across the central 1/3 of the state were numerous rows of what looked like ice blocks or limestone blocks - perhaps ice. The map vanished and I could hear a heavy wind blowing through the house. There was a young woman there trying to light the gas oven to no avail. The wind was blowing through the house really strongly. There were two children playing there who hadn't eaten anything.

VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS – I floated into another massive room that had a huge fireplace built into one wall and built with smaller golden fieldstone, and above the mantle of the fireplace, it read MT. SHASTA. From this room, I could see other rooms through the doors, but they were all down from this level. All the other rooms were underground.

ICE AGE I was manager of an apartment building scheduling maintenance work and doing other people's laundry along with my own white and pink sweaters. It seemed like most of the people in the building wanted their bathroom plumbing fixed all in the same day. We had never been so busy. I made note that it had got steadily warmed up outside and all of a sudden everything iced over like an ice age. Someone scratched off a bit of ice and there was a date revealed 1-02-2022.
NOTA BENE - NASA has predicted that the solar cycle peaking in 2022 could be one of the weakest in centuries and should cause a very significant cooling of Earth’s climate. Will this be the trigger that initiates a new Ice Age? With the advent of Solar Cycle 24, many scientists expect a massive spike in solar activity that will have the potential to disrupt satellites, cell phones, and air traffic in 2012. But the real concern is Solar Cycle 25. Around 2022, a catastrophic drop in sun activity—the lowest in centuries, according to NASA—may cause temperatures on earth to plunge, inaugurating an extended period of cold. In other words, a new ice age.

REGIME CHANGE IN THE USA / FLOODING – When their vacation ws over, they tried to get back into the U.S, but the border was closed. As it turned out, the rest of the world had had a Pole Shift, except for Canada never felt it. Michelle and Paul were taken to a crowded camp where people were being taken. At the camp, there was a television on, showing the news from the U.S. It showed that there was an election going on to vote in a new President. (It wasn't mentioned what happened to the old President). Then they showed a map of the U.S. showing major disasters from coast to the other. Most of the East coast was under water. There was no State of Florida. Where the Mississippi river was supposed to be, was a huge inlet of the sea that widely divided America, all the way up to Minnesota and Wisconsin. California, Oregon, and Washington State were mostly gone under water, except for the mountains which stood out like small islands. In the northern area of California, the sea had encroached all the way to Salt Lake City, Utah. Salt Lake City was now beach front property.

EARTHQUAKE-RELATED NUCLEAR DISASTER ON THE EAST COAST IN WINTER – At that point, I had an instant vision of a map of the Eastern half of the United States and from a point at the Eastern end of Lake Erie - in a triangular widening shape, the whole area had turned brown like the cloth like it was obliterated. NOTE: In the dream I had prior to this one, I was in the same apartment and I went out to find something to eat and there was slick ice in the streets, so the time frame is 'winter'. I couldn't get anything to eat because there were only stand-up places along the street so I went back home to find something to eat. The dream above seems to be a continuation of the first one.

POLE SHIFT– I was in my childhood backyard in Nevada. It was current time, maybe the next week or month. The grass was green. All of the sudden there was a quake and it seemed like the horizon was being folded from the South. It was over in a matter of a few seconds and I could feel the earth actually rotate about 1/4-1/3 from the equator. So if you were in the US, it went up to where the North Pole was and Russia went to the Indian Ocean( I'm not sure that that is what direction everything went, but kind of like that and not knowing for sure was part of the dream). I regretted not knowing enough about moon phases to figure it out. It got very cold within minutes and we lost communications and electricity, but didn't have local damage. I knew that there had been a pole shift and I was trying to figure out whether we had enough resources (heat, food) to last until we figured out exactly what was going to happen. It was getting bitterly cold so I assumed that our place had gone toward the location of the North Pole. I realized that depending on what was happening in other places, people would either be coming here or trying to get away and was trying to orient myself as to where I should go.

DEEP IMPACT – All of a sudden, out the window, a tall plume of black smoke appeared and I wondered what was on fire. Just as suddenly, big bombs of fire started coming into the yard, seemingly from whatever was burning. I hoped none landed on the house. Just that suddenly, we got a downpour of heavy rain even though there were no clouds in the sky. It last less than 5 minutes. At least it put out the fires in the yard. Then a huge river of water came rushing past the house from the left and I was thinking to myself, "It didn't rain all that long to create a river of water that size!" Then the whole earth move sideways and the river came to an abrupt stop in a big white crescendo and started moving backwards. I could feel the whole earth moving backwards under me in the opposite direction. My first thought was, "earthquake" then "where can we run to?" then "something hit the earth on the other side, so big, it stopped the earth from moving in the direction it was going." I was so dizzy now, I couldn't even stand up to run anywhere and I started to feel panic stricken and I could see everyone else falling down because they couldn't stand up, and I woke up completely freaked out. It was 4:44 a.m. on the clock.

VOLCANO  CALIFORNIA – I was in California with a group of men from my family. There was a big sports reunion of some kid going on nearby and all the men wanted to be there.  My grandson Brian (means strong) was my driver and we headed out go to the stadium. When we turned onto the freeway with all the traffic, I could see a mountain range in the distance.  Brian was freeway driving, but I was rather sightseeing and I said, "Oh my gosh! you can see the mountains from here." Brian nonchalantly said, "Yeah!" Then I saw a mushroom cloud come up in the mountain. I said, "Did you see that?" He said, "What?" because he was busy driving and didn't have time to look where I was looking. I said, "A mushroom cloud just came up from the mountain." He said just as nonchalantly, "Nah!" Just then, a larger mushroom cloud came up from under the first mushroom cloud.  We were heading right towards it. I said, "Shouldn't we pull over and stop?" He said, "Nah! That's pretty far away." At that moment, the whole mountain blew up, and the mushroom cloud rose into the air so high, I couldn't see the top of the cloud from inside the car. Cars were still driving so fast so they could get somewhere - anywhere at that point. I couldn't even scream because I was too stunned. We were driving as fast as we could with the traffic. I said, "We have to get off the freeway." and he didn't even bother to answer because there was nowhere to go.  All of a sudden, a long plume of red lava came streaking across the sky in our direction. It was arching over, and I prayed we could get all the way under it so that when it hit the ground, it would hit behind us.  It looked like it was going to land right on our car.  I don't know how we got off the freeway, but we ended up in a huge underground garage with hundreds of other cars. I was scurrying around with other men trying to help do something - anything at this point.  There was a stairway off to the side of the cars and saw a stack of newspapers there. So I ran up the stairs to get the newspapers and spread out the paper over the lava spots that were drying on cars and pavement. I wasn't alone. Nobody knew what to do - it was too devastating. My own family seemed okay, but it was obvious everyone was highly distressed. I even saw Bob the painter there. (He is a football and basketball fan).

TSUNAMI - I can remember almost all the dreams ive had about this violent ocean, I have great respect and fear of the ocean, lately when i have been at the beach, i am too afraid to turn my back to the ocean, when i stay at a hotel, on the beach. i cant sleep at night because when i go out on the balcony at night all u see is black and you here the roar of the ocean, sometimes i would listen to the waves and whenever i hear a pause in the constant waves, i get scared all i can think of is that, the next thing im gonna see is a shiny glimmer of silver which means im looking at the crest of a tsunami thats speeding towards me.

TSUNAMI – My second dreams was actually a series of horrifying dreams one after another in which the sea repetedly rose up into a giant wave and crashed down on me, killing me each time…and then I would be another person, somewhere else along that same shore…yikes, the dream went on and on.

COSMIC DEBRIS/TSUNAMI – I had a tsunami dream last night. At first it was a falling star and i though how beautiful!but then it turned into a huge ball of fire and landed in the ocean it was bigger than what i first thought and created a huge tsunami,(one that would basically wipe off a huge portion of the earth) and we all knew we would die because of not enough time to evacuate. but then a white tiger appears and tries to attack me and a huge snake appeared out of nowhere and the white tiger turned its attention to that and devoured it. it was so strange!

TSUNAMI I was on a Southern California beach packed with people. I saw the wave coming and started screaming for everyone to get out. All ignored me. I then drove to Thousand Oaks, which was higher and more inland, behind Malibu. I walked into a “new” mall, and into a “new” bookstore which had no merchandise. In 1982, the Thousand Oaks Mall, indeed, was new. No such bookstore ever existed. Many years later, I live near that mall, which is now being torn apart to construct a NEW gigantic mall in its place. I wonder: Is a new bookstore going into this new mall now? Was I possibly seeing 2009 in my old dream?

TSUNAMI IN AUSTRALIA – I felt I was safe there. Interestingly enough I started talking to one of the Australian locals in my dream and told him that I’ve been having several dreams about tsunamis and somehow I either knew I was dreaming again or I thought my dreams finally became real. but it didn’t stop there;I found my self dreaming in my dream( I dreamed that I was asleep and had a dream) in the dream someone invisible wrote something on a blurred mirror… ORIOLETE FETE, or ORTIOLETE FETE… I remember I wrote that down on a piece of paper(in my dream) so I would remember it when I woke up… suddenly I found myself somewhere else… I was with an ethnic kid probably a 10 year old, and we were running away from a global tsunami…It was the most terrifying experience…the sky was gray and cloudy and we were in a freeway in mountains (everywhere was covered in snow) and I clould see the huuuuge waves coming from behind the tall mountains and water was covering the land… and that was it…when I woke up I tried to remember that wierd name…ORIOLETE FETE… I had no idea what it meant, so I googled it Oriolete didn’t come up but when I was searching for a word similar to it on dictonary and I found a similar looking word and it meant meteorites or a huge mass of metal, and fete means a day of celeberation… so I’m thinking it means a day wit many meteorites…and if that could be ture…maybe we are being warned that many meteorites hitting the earth in one day are going to cause a huge global tsunami…….

“PHAETON” COMET/AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND BURNS – I dreamt myself and my family (plus additives...babies.. namely with my sister) on a hill. It was a hot, bright summers day (I live in NZ, dec is summer) It seemed as though some form of pic-nic or festival was occuring, there were a great many people and at the bottom of the hill were bleachers like you get at a stadium or ball park... I believe the setting to be Auckland NZ because I saw the sky tower. Everyone seemed to be merrily going about their business.. I looked up and noticed something quite beautiful.. quite remarkable... I noticed others notice it too... The object was large like a glowing disc like the sun but brighter...getting brighter still... I could see movement within its core rapid flashes... It may have been the sun.. it may not.. I remember distinctly being confused about this because the object got so bright it filled the entire sky with a great white light... I remember looking for the sun.. The light grew stronger. We were all in awe, I remember thinking “this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen” Suddenly a great heat flooded my body... This heat was very intense I remember it scalding.. I felt like I was cooking at a great speed. I saw a wave of energy rush through the masses of people...told my family to run to the bleachers.. we all ran I looked around and I remember feeling raw...I saw those surrounding me and everyone was pink, like their flesh had been literally peeled. I remember thinking just before I awoke.. “wake up Regina, this isn’t real, this is not %$#@ real, this has to be a dream, wake up, wake up, wake up” I woke up with sweating and boiling hot. It was very real feeling... I felt the pain intensely, my heart was beating rapidly when I woke up.

METEORITES – Last year, sitting in a hostel, I was talking to a woman and we got on the topic of dreams She mentioned she’d had a recurring dream for years about being in a city and suddenly there was fire falling from the sky, explosions, chaos, buildings collapsing etc and being surrounded by death and destruction.

NEMESIS – I painted a huge Moon (full moon) with another planet that must be the Earth... but in my painting I would say the Earth is ¼ the size of the Moon. The Earth is half a healthy blue/green the other half is orange like fire ! I also had a strong urge to paint a very small Planet very close to the Earth. I also painted the milkyway and a fair size black hole and 2 comets. I would post it on here if anyone would like to see...but I cant work out how to upload a image on here.

METEORITES – I was in a large city, but I’m not sure which one. The time of day was mid-afternoon and the sky was clear and blue except for a gigantic explosion, high in the atmosphere, which spread and blotted out the sun. I did not hear the explosion. Everything was oddly quiet. The explosion looked like a gray ball of smoke with fingers coming out of it, shaped sort of like a spiny, sea urchin. The blast was far away, making it seem like it was frozen in space. It hovered in the sky barely changing its shape. For the time being the city was unaffected by it, but a mass exodus of people had begun. The streets were jammed with vehicles, forcing most of us to walk. At the time of the dream I had no children, but in the dream I was responsible for several children and kept them with me as we were trying to escape the city.
Everyone was calm, but there was a sense of urgency to get out of the city and to head for the hills to a secret place of refuge. I was not sure if I was seeing it was a nuclear explosion, an asteroid hitting the moon or two asteroids colliding or something else. In the dream I did not question what I was seeing. I knew that we were fleeing the city because of it and there was the knowledge that something even worse was about to befall the world. People were not panicking, but there was an overwhelming sense of despondency. Everyone was orderly and eerily silent. As people were leaving the city, another line of people were entering it. The strange part was that they were dressed in costumes like it was the Mardi Gras or Halloween. It was a big party to them. They were drunk and laughing and being obnoxious. They were taunting the people that were leaving. I remember looking at them as if they had lost their minds, thinking, “Can’t you see what is happening!?” I knew that the partiers didn't understand what was coming and it was a certainty that they were all going to die. I was rather uncertain of my own future as well, but their was at least a little hope. And, that was the end of the dream.

NEMESIS – I have had a few dreams where I look at the moon and its not normal. Like a dark red, or different shadows, and even sometimes I have seen 2 moons like yourself.

NEMESIS – Avant de raconté en quoi il consistait , j aimerai vous dire a quel point il ma marqué part la clarté des couleurs , tellement Vives ! JE me voi comme sur un balcon , je ne suis pas seul .. Je regarde vers le ciel .. et la .. stupefais .. Le ciel n'est pas bleu .. mai ampli de couleur incroyable , comme des aurore boreal , Un ciel de toute couleur .. et UNe planète Absolument Gigantesque dans le ciel ! Rouge .. Enorme !! .. et je me souvient , je dis .." Ce n'est pas la Lune ça ?!!" en la regardant.. Je me souvient aussi de vols d avions de chasse dans le ciel ,et des chose bizare ce qu on pourrai appellez de ovni; et je sent la panique autour de moi (mes proches).

CIVIL WAR – 'll share one of my dreams that is in some ways similar to this and illustrates my point. For me, highly vivid dreams are somewhat common and tend to occur in cycles. This dream however, was unusual in the sense that it was so vivid that it took up about 15 handwritten 8.5X11 pages in my journal and contained specific temporal and spatial references, which is highly unusual for me. I had it  on 10/20/07. The backdrop of the dream was a third-world America that was undergoing a civil war. The military controlled the major cities and strategic areas, but vast swaths of the country had become war zones or "free cities" that were bases for resistance fighters. The setting was somewhere near Charleston, SC and the time was fall 2011. (I ascertained this date based on picket signs seen in the dream that said 2011 was the last year to join the armies of God and the temperatures I felt during the dream) In the dream, Florida, where I now live, had become uninhabitable and there had been a mass exodus. The dream didn't say exactly why, but you can imagine I got a few chills when all this stuff started coming out about the BP oil spill. According to a girlfriend of sorts that I had in the dream, she and her friend had rescued me after they found me unconscious after a raid that was launched against the evacuees. This girl worked for the military and helped me smuggle materials out of the military bases. Due to economic collapse, raw materials were hard to come by and the military had a lot of scrap to dispose of due to the ongoing civil war. One could make a decent living selling refuse to various street vendors. We lived in an abandoned medical clinic, and the first part of the dream detailed our daily struggles in an apocalyptic America full of nationalistic and 2012 furor. At some point, this girl had a dream about going to Charleston, which was a short bus ride away, and convinced me to go. When we got to Charleston, we got caught in a battle and were rescued by some "monks" who looked Buddhist and brought us to their teacher, or whatever. The teacher had a chart of 12 colored circles with a little cross-shaped design in them. He said something about forming a group where each of the color essences were represented. He said the girl represented the "green" essence and I was more of a dark blue. After that, we went looking for someone who had the "red" essence who was apparently being chased by the NSA. After a brief entanglement with them, the girl had another vision that told her that we needed to go to New Mexico to find the next essence. The dream ended there. While it was a very interesting dream, I didn't ascribe any special significance to it. The fact that it was somewhat predictive of the economic situation was interesting, but I had been reading a lot about how the economy was living on borrowed time and it would have been easy for my mind to fabricate a world based on my expectations of what a collapse would look like. The bit with the Buddhist monk and the female shamanic elements was also interesting, but it is easy to use these things to inflate one's self-importance about being chosen by special teachers to go on special quests. So far the bit about looking for the 12 essences has had no relevance at all to my 3D life. The one thing that I took away from this dream is that I started looking at the economy much more closely, and it has helped become more cautious in some minor financial decisions where being riskier like I was prior to the dream would have been a bad move. There may be a point where the 12 essences may suddenly become relevant, and give me the extra insight to make a decision, but as of right now it seems to be little more than idle fantasizing.

FAKE TERRORIST ATTACK IN ISRAEL – She was seeing two pair of men's hands - closeup while they were sitting at a conference table. One had a southern accent, one had a Jewish accent. They started talking about the possibility that if Iraq sent a biological weapon into Israel, they could attack Saddam Hussein with a nuclear bomb; that nobody could blame them for retaliating. The Jewish man said, "But he hasn't done that and if he did do that, it would kill 1/2 of our people." The man with the southern accent said, "But what if it was a 'controlled' attack. What if it was 'CONTROLLED?" The Jewish man then said, "What nuclear weapons? like he didn't know about any nuclear weapons. The men with the southern accent said, "With these", and threw him a set of keys. "A biological or chemical attack could be done in a controlled way"

WAR WITH RUSSIA – I was in the country somewhere at a camp in a heavily wooded area. I was carrying a yellow folder and went with some women into a room in a building. We women were told to take a vote on whether or not we were going to go to war with Russia. There was a screen-like machine in the room and on the screen I could see multi-colors vibrating, which meant to me that Russia was not going to attack us - they were only making noises like they were going to. We women took a vote a whether we were going to war. The answer was unanimously, "No!" We women were so happy that our country did not have to go to war with Russia. We went outside where the men were standing and told them our answer. I looked out into the woods like an Indian would and my eyes searched carefully into the forest and here and there I saw little square black pixels flashing. The head man suddenly announced that we were going to have to evacuate the camp because we were going to war with Russia. I saw that the head man was carrying a black folder. I was stunned that the head man told everyone that we were going to war, when the women had just voted unanimously that Russia was not gong to attack us. Then I saw that people were divided into three groups. The seers carried yellow folders, the warriors carried black folders and the peacemakers carried blue folders. We women carried yellow folders, the men all carried black folders. I didn't see anyone with a blue folder. We were going into a war that was unnecessary and Russia was only sabre-rattling.

EARTHQUAKES/RELOCATION IS A TRAP/LETHAL AIRPORTS (DENVER?) I saw the earth shaking in the western U.S., and I saw people trying to leave those shaking areas very very quickly -- as in grab what you can and haul ass right now, this instant. I saw masses of people all trying to find a preferred method of transportation -- buses, cars, trains, and airplanes, as expected. Because of road conditions, and some "source" telling the people that driving is extremely dangerous, many people opted for buses, trains, and airplanes, leaving their cars behind. My perspective was like that of a 10,000 foot view from above, looking down on the earth. I saw planes landing at various airports. One airport in particular was somewhere with mountains very nearby (in the Midwest by the Rockies), and I saw literally thousands of distressed people all over that airport. It had become their new home temporarily since they had nowhere else to go. No motel/hotels; no apts; no vacant homes; no tents to buy; nada, zip, nothing. They had to stay at the airport for shelter, sleeping on the floors where ever they can find space on the floor. I heard someone's mind saying, "look at them all coming here like good little sheep" and this person had a huge grim on their male face while overlooking the situation developing at the airport. It got over-crowded really fast too. Suddenly people are walking and heading themselves in a certain direction in the airport, like they're headed towards something they need: shelter and food they think. They're taken to transport cars, like a mini-rail system, and taken below ground. I don't think the people really know they're headed underground, per se. When they get to where they're going, there are massive areas of open space, and plenty of that chain link fence stuff all around, creating holding areas. The people are herded in to those holding areas. They are not free here, and never will be again I suspect. I pick up the incredibly distinct feeling of deception all around. Everyone's jaw is basically on the ground so-to-speak in disbelief. They will not stay here in these initial holding areas. They will be moved again to other areas of the country, and this movement will also be underground on rail transports. Many many people never see the light of day again. They're prisoners now, and apparently, this was the plan from square one. "They" (those who seek to control) knew this would happen. It was in fact planned this way. They knew 100's of thousands of people would head to the airports, so that's one reason they built "bases" at airports: to collect these people very easily once they arrived. From this vision, I have to say that were I any of you, and the shit hit the fan in regards to volcanoes and earthquakes, I would not venture towards an airport, and I would not under any circumstances allow myself to be "guided by the government" to what might be called "safe shelter". Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Take care of yourself up front. If you live in those areas likely to experience quakes, make plans for relocation now so when the time comes, you'll have a place to try and go to. I say try, because I see many people not making it to where they're going in the heights of the ensuing chaos.

U.S. DICTATORSHIP – There was no work to be had in the country, (United States) so I had gone to town to look for a job. There were no longer stores along the main city streets, they were in clusters at intervals. There were big government offices everywhere. Along 17th street, lawns were being reconstructed and I tried to assist but there wasn't enough grass to go around. The men were huddled around the bars, not drinking but checking the stock market, worrying themselves sick to see if they had lost everything. It was a well kept secret but I had been chosen as mediator between sides between our country and the Overtakers. The schools were being organized at this moment to march the children to government camps and take them away from their parents. I managed to sneak up to the 20th street school where my youngest son was in 1st grade. I spotted him and grabbed him by the arm and we rushed down the street together. He said, "I've been calling you all day, hoping you'd come and get me." I was watching the other mothers who weren't able to find their children and rescue them before they were marched away to camp. I helped to hold one mother up from collapsing. She was devastated that he daughter hadn't been seen. I knew that the secret guns were trained on Madison, WI (The capital city of our state) and these children were going to be used as hostages.

NEW WORLD ORDER – I then opened one last hidden door which opened into a small theatre-type room. It had theatre-type seats in it. The theatre was about 12 seats wide with aisles on both sides and the seats in the middle. I recall that the seats were royal blue but the light was rather dim in there. However, on the 1st three rows of seats were stone or plaster castings of faces of people laying there. They seemed to be all profiles of men. I asked a person who was behind me what this was all about. The person said without hesitation, "This is the New World Order". The hairs on the back of my neck and arms stood on end and as I looked at the stone profiles, there were two large ones in the 3rd row that actually had horns on like the old pictures of the Devil. I thought there was only one Devil, but there were two horned profile faces in the 3rd row. I went to the 3rd row and picked up both stone faces. I intended to throw them out into the street and smash them, but as soon as I picked them up, they became animated and started writhing around in my hands until I dropped them. Now on the floor, they started shape-shifting into little toy stuffed animals. I started to try to kick these little toy animals to try to get rid of them, but they were pretty quick in moving away so I never got a well-placed kick at them. They finally ended up laying in a corner. One looked like a little harmless pink bunny rabbit and the other like a little beige Teddy Bear. I woke up before I could get rid of them. NOTE: The pink bunny is "Bunny Harriman" and the Teddy Bear is 'Ted Turner"

USA: THE JEWISH NATION - I was at a gathering place where people were coming together from every direction. This was all being done (in slow motion). It was time for the trains to come in and many children were sleeping on the floor. We decided to just leave them there. A descending escalator was bringing people and suitcases down to the trains. Every so often, something would go astray. One time a sheet of US stamps got pushed off the escalator ramp. I was trying to decide whether to pick it up or not and it tore in half. The one half stayed as stamps with US flags on them. The other half turned intoa silver business card which said, "JEWS USA and "THE JEWISH NATION!" I was then standing on the train platform which all the trains came rushing by. There was barely an inch of space between them.

SAI BABA IS EVILhe spoke of how this hole was over Arizona, new Mexico, and part of very northern Mexico.  Baba then seemed to have "slides" where pictures were projected out in front of the other people, to perhaps illustrate the lecture. I saw a picture of the land near of a city, only rubble and a corner of a foundation could I see, and there was one raggy survivor picking through the fallen bricks! I sensed that the whole of the planet was like this, at least in the West, not being able to see the rest of the planet. 

Baba then said....."The lord and I are maintaining this safe zone, to protect the survivors for the new race to come."

I then saw what seemed to be a picture of underground cities, two of them, under what would be the Colorado rocky mountains [military underground bases].

I then saw something, sports fans, that scared me a bit, as I then saw Baba get ANGRY! [when a Master gets angry, that is very, very significant!]

I watched Baba ball his fist into the palm of one of his hands, as he could barely physically contain his anger. He then pointed to the projected image and shook his fist in anger, saying DARKLY...."Those people in those two cities have *GOT* to be gotten at, as if they survive and come out of their cities, their attitudes will POISON these safe zone survivors with the ways of the materialistic old way of life"!!

Baba then went on to say how there are "actually 6 or 7 radio stations there in the safe zone". [I am not sure about the numbers of station, I think that there is a clue here!] end of dream!

AUSTRALIAN DICTATORSHIPIt was late afternoon. There were a whole bunch of people waiting near the Brisbane River for fireworks that were going to proceed at 7pm. Completely unexpectedly, they started setting off the fireworks while it was still light and a few hours prior to the time they were supposed to. Saw a couple of large fireworks go off, then they had what looked like fireworks going horizontally. It was actually laser, and when they focused it upon points on a building for a few seconds, then it would start a fire. By this stage people were getting fairly scared and started moving away. The laser then followed the people as they were going. I stayed put after finding a friend hiding behind a small object. He said “duck down, there are people just over there looking for us”. I did as he said, and then waited. Pretty soon security guards start walking along searching for any strays. One guard walks past the area where we are, and the turns around. He sees us there, and starts to come over. I could see that nothing good was going to come from this. As the guard reached us, I woke up. I remember waking up and turning on the tv, only to see that the government had finally declared martial law...for what reason I’m not sure...it had been about 4 days that all of this had been going on...I remember seeing fires and lots of them...the people started to rebel against the government...at that point I knew I had to go out and do my part to help others fight the good fight...on my way out on the road I remember pulling over to help an elderly couple who were stuck on the side of the road...as we sat there, a number of military vehicles passed by...some stopped, thats when I woke up...

ALIEN INVASION – I was seeing a few things happening at once in the dream. I was with my family, though not in any location I recognize, but there was a television screen there as well. In this dream, I had a certain "awareness" of events that were transpiring around the world, and also I could see some of them on TV and if I looked outside the window. One event is the mass landing of aliens and their attempts to educate and befriend humanity as a whole. Another is the falling of comets everywhere, which created huge dust or cloud cover, making it very dark even during the day, and very windy and cold. Another is the chaos and confusion of people as a whole, and the attempt by the government and the media to organize and "relax" people. The entire thing "felt" like a huge hurricane that just hit us dead on. The whole dream was in the state of "turbulence" and "panic" for me, I could not get my "bearings" or "focus" too much, but I was aware of what is transpiring. Sort of like you may feel if a tornado picks you up, and you're spinning inside the tornado together with everything/everyone else, and you're also trying to communicate with those who are also spinning in this huge violent, noisy, and dirty funnel, by shouting at the top of your lungs - that was the general sensation of the dream. Everyone around me seemed to either not understand what is happening, or ignoring it and just watching TV, or maybe they didn't hear me. Meanwhile, I was attempting to TELL them what is going on, point to the different things and explain to them their meanings and what is really happening, but I felt ignored, or even laughed at. The attempts at controlling the population appeared peaceful, at least to the degree I was aware of. The media displayed messages of love and light for the people, and tried to portray the aliens as benevolent saviors. I was in a huge state of panic at this point, and there were some details in the dream, and things I said that I cannot even make sense of right now. I saw the numbers 777 and 888 on TV many times, in huge font, as if they were representing something very significant. Somehow these numbers were associated with an advertisement for something, like Coke or Pepsi. Yet at the same time, they were associated with the aliens somehow, and I'm also not sure what these connections mean. But the really strange part is, when I saw 777 (or maybe when I saw the 888?), I screamed to my dad "This is the number of JESUS!". I don't know why I said this, but I do know that this was an important "point" to demonstrate the true, "evil" motives of the aliens, and the huge conglomerates (like Pepsi or Coke, whatever it was). It was almost like the commercial was advertising a food product and the aliens at the same time, though im not sure exactly how they were related. But he either didn't hear me, or ignored me. I saw people on the street, in dark cover of huge dust clouds and violent winds, and there was massive panic and confusion. They were breaking store windows, taking things, running around screaming, attacking one another, etc. Those who were not panicking and running around the streets, were glued to the television screens.

ALIEN TAKEOVER, LABOR CAMPS – In a dream the whole world seemed to be silent... No birds.. No animals... No people on the street. For some reason I had to go to downtown, and I've decided to take a walk on a highway, since there were no one there. As I was walking, on the sides of highway I saw some sort of barracks or work camps, where I saw people working and doing stuff. I felt huge pity for them... but I knew that there is nothing I could do. I knew all the people have been imprisoned by "evil".. And for some reason I knew that "evil" could not do anything to me or have interest in me if I do not interfere with them aka do not attempt to change their ways (it was some sort of mutual agreement I had in my head). All  of the sudden I walk through these "labor camps".. And I see a sick man asking for help... Though I knew I can not interfere... I decided to help the poor guy (he needed to get a tool that fallen in the hole, he could not reach it and he would get in trouble because of that). I knew I was not suppose to help or be in barracks, but compassion took over. I have reached for the tool, and I see "inspector". He looked like gray (that's to my current understanding now). I tried to stand close to wall hoping the creature will pass by and won't notice me.. but sure enough he walked in... I knew me and the guy I was trying to help would be in trouble... So... I have murdered the gray.. (hit him in the head with a hammer) Now I knew I have "violated non-touch agreement" and now they were after me... I did escape to downtown. City also looked and felt "ice-cold", where someone "invisible" (I knew they were masters of these gray creatures) told me that they would "forgive my violation" and I  won't be touched if I agree to be one of the architects to help to build a new city..  I refused and was trying to escape the city... All the ways out of the city were blocked by blockposts... I do not think "block-post" keepers realize my intentions at first... But I did take a run through it... They were screaming and yelling at me to come back.. and that I am in serious deep chit now.. but I knew the "city guards" could not leave the territory... and they send flying mechanisms after me, but I knew they were not effective after certain distance... However, I was aware of "gray creatures" being outside the city some place still trying to chase me...I also knew that there is a place of refuge, where no one is able to reach or harm me in any way... I did not know what it was, but I knew that eventually if I do not give up I will get there... And I did... When the creatures were especially close, I saw something that did not "fit the picture", I was a meadow in the middle of dark forest, with a tree in the middle that was producing light... I got there... And was greeted by an older men that smiled and told me not to worry now... no one will be able to harm you here... And he was right... all these creature were not able to go there (they were afraid and very furious about it)

ALIEN UNDERGROUND BASES (DENVER AIRPORT?) – The dream began with a crowd of people-I just somehow "appeared" in their midst-and the crowd was moving around in some type of undergound location. You could tell it was underground-or perhaps in a mountain because the walls were rough hewn stone-there were lights overhead-harsh and bright, some type of signs or writing on the walls-but I do not recall what they said or the language. It was home to these people-they live there in this subterranean place. The crowd appeared agitated-either angry or frightened-perhaps both. Now comes the freaky part-there was a large expanse of wall in front of us-and suddenly these men just somehow materialised right out of the wall! Covered from head to toe in black body armor-faces obscured by visors-and they had these big dogs-German Shepards as I recall-snarling and drooling and barking. The men had some type of automatic weapons-and with no warning began shooting into the crowd.

TIME AND SPACE BECOME RELATIVE – VIOLATION OF PHYSICAL LAWS – Two years ago I had this dream. Lots of red and white round  aerial vehicles came during the day time. There were so many you could not count them. I said, oh my god they've come to invade us. Then I see my mother, who was 74 then. She is on a branch of the fig tree and she jumps down, like a young girl would. Then I say (to myself) then we must be in the 4th density. Then I woke up. I don't know whether this was a recurring theme or not as I do not remember my dreams when I get up.

ALIEN INVASION, FALSELY BENEVOLENT RULE – Basically it was a massive global invasion. And it was like the feeling you might get in a police state. Fear and hopelessness and desperation. I have only had one other mass UFO invasion dream in the past, and both dreams were VERY powerful emotionally, which is pretty rare, and both left a huge impact on me as a result. In this most recent dream I remember the aliens set up some sort of order where they were actually made to look like the good guys, doing what's best for us, and everyone around me bought into it. But I knew better. I also knew they were telepathic, so I had to disguise even my thoughts, I had to think only what they'd expect people to think to "blend in". Despite the overwhelming emotions, I also had to disguise my emotions. Basically I had to "play dumb" both inside and outside when in their presence, which was a pretty unique situation since disguising your own thoughts and emotions isn't necessary when dealing with human tyrants, which made it so much more difficult. Anyway I waited till my family and I weren't under watch and the aliens were doing something in a public setting, and we quietly "snuck out" and ran. We were running through a thick forest, hoping to be unnoticed, but they knew. They followed us, and at first they didn't reveal their presence but then it was clear as we saw a UFO above the trees flying above us. That was a pretty powerful emotional moment, because my family was there, and now I had to scramble and think how to protect myself AND them, what to do. And here is where it gets really interest.
