Good Morning all of you active brain cells out there in reality land; close your eyes and hold your nose for another nasty dose of the King of Simple News.

I was a guest last night on Frosty Wooldridge’s talk radio program, “Connecting the Dots.” I was on for the full hour and it seemed like 10 minutes. Sometimes, just sometimes, the big picture becomes so crystal clear that I feel that familiar old drive well up inside that insists that I warn the world.

That’s the same feeling that I had when I set out to write my book. I would tell myself, “If only you could help to inform and educate everyone possible, perhaps we could avert disaster.” Fat chance.

Frosty always brings out the best in me by asking pointed questions. He referred to my article, “One Year Ago,” and asked, “Where will we be a year from now, or are you afraid consider that?” I replied that it has become extraordinarily difficult to predict future events based on logic, because we don’t have logical leadership.

We have a Congress and a President who believe that we can borrow ourselves out of this crisis and then grow ourselves into another crisis in order to pay for the cost of the former crises. The dog is in full pursuit of his tail.

Frosty pressed the issue by asking what the eventual end would be? Without drawing a breath, I replied, “Total collapse, there is simply no other possibility.” As I suggested earlier, sometimes it all becomes so clear. There are limits and the world population has exceeded those limits.

I retold my story of being in Phoenix and observing 3 million people living in a desert and stressing the water and ecosystem paper thin. Frosty mentioned the famed brown cloud that represents the air that the people of Denver breathe daily. We talked about Los Angeles, the crowned king of congestion and pollution and then I asked, “What do they all have in common?” to which Frosty quickly answered, “They all want to grow!”

Frosty then asked me the crown jewel, $64,000, pivotal question, “Why?”

It was easy for me to answer, “It’s our way of life.” In a capitalistic monetary system where legalized gambling at the highest levels of finance are permitted, and that is inclusive of compounding interest, and that has made future monetary promises to their citizens based on nothing more than a grandiose pyramid scheme; there are no other options other than to grow exponentially or collapse.

There is however one exception to the rule stated above and we have chosen that exception; we can grow exponentially until we do collapse. Well darn Leroy; now what?

Our presidents, congress, governors, state representatives, mayors, big business leaders…all promise us growth without end. Therefore, in all reality, our leadership promises eventual purposely orchestrated collapse. Hard to believe isn’t it? After all, it’s our way of life. And therefore, it’s far easier to believe “The Biggest Lie Ever Believed.”

“Alright, we’re several days from water and we only have a gallon left. There are eight of us here, and starting at the top of our leadership we’re going to give everyone a quart.” What’s so hard to believe about that? It’s our way of life.
