From 1950-2000 the earth was in relative stability. Two camps controlled most of the power on the planet. But less as a result of the weakening of the Soviet Union and more result of the globalization of trade, the old ways are showing to be ineffective in the new world order. This paper is an interesting insight into this potential new future. And it certainly works with the ominous opinion of Peggy Noonan back in this 2005 article. What I find disconcerting is how quickly it is unraveling. I am fear, as our current leadership has shown, that governments are unable to understand the radical changes taking place. When we look at the changes being made to our liberties, it becomes quite apparent that the West has decided that Totalitarianism is the way to go. But as Dr. Albert Bartlett explained, "The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function." All of the systems are beginning to fail and I am afraid we are in for some very interesting times. Totalitarianism will fail just as it has done in the past. I just hope that humanity can survive another global conflict in one peace. Or will this be the breaking of the world?
