They seek out the drama otherwise they would be out of a job. But what is not visible, and what they can't show, is that there is more light in the world than any other time in human history. More people wishing to live in peace. The balance has already tipped to the point where the old prophecies of the past can't apply anymore. At one time, up until just a decade or so ago, they they might have applied, but not anymore. Even the players that were supposed to help facilitate the end times are not around anymore. Humanity is on a new track.
Strange that we would choose to be born in a world that everyone thought would destroy itself. I guess we are masters afterall.
Not to sound doom and gloom, but this age is the first one that has a mechanism for a truly global world government. It also has the first class of hyper-powerful individuals woven into the world of international banking and multi-national coorporations whose power exceeds and dictates the policies of countries...all the while they themselves have no loyalty to any nation or people...only power and wealth. This is unique to the modern age and has not truly existed at any point up to the last couple of decades. There have been empires, but not a truly encompassing worldwide mechanism and core of power elites who truly span ALL continents.
The population of the world is also hitting a peak and tensions within the world are certainly building with the enormous economic pressures and resource issues of an exploding populace. Something has to give at some point, as the status quo is not sustainable in any way, shape, or form.
The time is ripe for a "world government" to emerge, and I would be very wary of any singular individual who becomes the chairman or premiere of said organization.
The consolidation is underway...European countries into the EU, the US/Canada/Mexico now being proposed into the "North American Union" and much more...
the masses might desire peace, but they are quickly devolving into an enormous underclass that is at the behest of a small group of transnational elites. This is certainly and unequivocally happening in the US with the rapid erosion of the middle class.
