[[ APOCALYPSE CLOCK ]]

WAR, economic collapse
============
11:10 PM +5 min.
============
Roughly 18 days ago (Jul.13.24) former president Donald Trump faced an assassination attempt at
a rally in Pennsylvania. Given the gravity of the situation it's surprising how quickly the news
was overtaken by other events. First, the Republican National Convention. It started just two
days later with Trump sporting a bandaged ear. Next the bombshell news of President Biden dropping
out of the election (Jul.21.24) and endorsing V.P. Kamala Harris. Less than a week later the Paris
games of the 33rd Olympiad and it's controversial opening ceremony (Jul.26.24). Just a day later
an attack on the Golan Heights that killed a dozen children. Clearly that couldn't go unanswered
leading to news of Israel's retaliatory strikes. Perhaps it's not too surprising that very little
information concerning the war in Ukraine has emerged of late.
While the events in Israel and wider the Middle East are of great concern, it's the U.S.
presidential election causing the APOCALYPSE CLOCK to rise again. Since the first part of the year
social media has been ablaze with references toward revolution and a second civil war. Consequently
there's little doubt MAGA NRA hillbillies are organizing in the event of a Trump defeat in November.
Oddly, the introduction of Harris as the presumptive presidential candidate highlighted the immediacy
of that election. Time perception was also shortened by congressional Democrats widely approving the
endorsement of Harris which got her candidacy off to a very quick start.
From a larger perspective, that means the election will no longer pit two geriatric white men against
each other. Instead, the election features a woman of color 20 years younger than her opponent and the
promise of new voters coming out of the woodworks. Yet even though the new election dynamic tamped down
calls for civil war, the road to chaos has already been paved.
If MAGA Republicans win: sham military tribunals will soon follow as will draconian measures towards
immigrants. If they lose: gun wielding idiots will start shooting in all directions. Ultimately that
could be the saving grace for the United States. At some level human calculus must prevail. It's far
easier to rage against an obvious target (sg. Blue vs. Grey / north vs. south; country vs. country).
However when no clear difference exists the calculus must change and support will weaken. That will
leave only the hardcore MAGA hillbillies to return to their roots and rage against people of color.
It should come as no surprise that any wide spread violence will shut down the U.S. economy and very
likely take the world down as well. Furthermore, the violence and chaos could also act as a catalyst
for European hardliners to act against immigrants, gays, and other perceived enemies of the state in
a similar fashion the Republican hardliners in the United States. Not to mention that any major
trouble with Israel could accelerate the timeline. As would an assassination.
I can only imagine the lead up to World War II also felt like this. For now, a republican win seems
the least likely scenario for an all out apocalypse. Though certainly the worse dystopian world
imaginable. Then again it may just take longer for the apocalypse to coalesce. It's simple to see when
you consider the parallel to Venezuela. That South American country fell into chaos when dictator Maduro
refused to submit proof of his election win ... as he claimed. Further, it is widely known Trump will
NEVER concede defeat just like the South American despot, Maduro. Not only that, he will NEVER acknowledge
a loss in the popular vote if he wins in an electoral majority. Still, it's less certain what a "legitimate"
Trump win will mean. Though you can certainly bet that 4 years later he will make some attempt to stay in
office or install a son into the position.
If you think about it, you can see the future is happening today and you have less than 100 days to get
ready. The clock is now set at 11:10. Make the appropriate preparations as suggested in the
CLOCK SETTINGS page.
