There are two possible scenarios, both which will be addressed: One is the quest for power and the surprise which followed the election of a person not expected to win and who subsequently upset the applecart, or the disease of accumulating wealth by narcissistically mentally ill individuals and families.
As addicted drug addicts do, and as massive wealth is accumulated through loopholes and bribes, people start excusing their actions by rationalizing such actions. When rationalization no longer nurtures their now fading conscience, and without worry for humankind, they increase the dangers to themselves and others by breaking laws and taking larger and larger risks, harming others to a point, until the need to be attacking one another continually until "rock bottom" is hit. This is a self destruct mechanism as it is with any addict on the streets or in the boardrooms. If it were merely about the money, their practices would have stopped long ago. It is a sickness and an obsession, and as a sick human or animal they should either be helped in an institution or "put down". This means regulations with consequences must be implemented or a full redistribution of the wealth must take place, the second being the most disastrous for the most people. With sixty-two "62" people having equal wealth to the lower one half of the world’s population, time is closing in at an increasing rate of speed.
The second and final idea is due to the unexpected win of our current president. It is obvious he is, no matter what your inclination is, not making mistakes that are sticking so it is advantageous to the opposition, to reset the economy, address the debt, and the delegitimize the current administration, to inflate and collapse the economy whence they, the opposition, are in a safe position. In order get to a safe place or position they must show prosperity to tempt the greed inherent to the many who will be caught in a lightning turnaround and cashing in on profits by the few, while dismantling and crippling the economy to the detriment of the 90%; In other words, a Ponzi type scheme that will not fail for them or place them in a position of danger (so they believe).
It would be anyones’ guess what the outcome of either scenario would be. It would possibly tower over the great depression and set the world back or more specifically, stop the innovations for many years to come, thus stagnating the economy and as a result produce a riot situation for many which would bring upon more social regulation. Of course there are no polar situations and people would fall anywhere on a continuum of wealth and absolute poverty. The military is set as are the police to quell any unrest, but as we know, many will suffer for the lavishness and incessant greed of the few, and a bit for those in the middle who are needed to shield the wealthy from the poor. This is the place for the military and the police.
In conclusion, this is no more than a game of chess and there is mutual destruction, one champion and/or many who come in second third and fourth etc. So, what happens then is anyones guess. It all depends on who lights a spark and where they light it as to how or if the house burns down or just a few rooms. Written by Infodevel Press
