There is something about the darkness of the night that brings out primal fears and forces your mind to delve deep into the most frightening aspects of life itself..

News headlines of the day do not help, with events in Syria heating up and allegations that intelligence has been manipulated to favor war, reminiscent of those same allegations a decade ago during a different administration and before a different war began..

Times always seems strange before a war begins. The debate, the water cooler arguments in the workplace, and the divisive family dinners with both sides or more than three sides arguing about what the best course of action is in whatever current world crisis is taking place.. IT can all get so mean..

The New York Times today ran a story about the rebels from hell, those that the United States is poised to help against the Assad regime in Syria.. They behead innocent Christians on their knees, they eat the hearts of their opponents– literally– and who knows, maybe even they are responsible for the chemical attack instead of the government that we say that did it.. But that should be no bother to Secretary of State Serpentface, with his reptilian tongue flailing against his dry lips as he testified before the Congress..

But there seems to be something more occurring across this planet.. The great noises heard in the sky, those trumpet sounds that have been sounding for more than 24 months continue.. A constant slide into pop-culture oblivion happens before our eyes during every generation, but this go around it seems too much to come back from.. And the weather sure is weird, not because of the amount of storms this year but just because of the lack of them. It seems too quiet for this planet, as we’ve been getting used to wild weather and now suddenly silence. Is it a calm before the storm?

Any parent reading this will know that the ultimate fear is what the world will be like for a child.. The innocent minded children cannot typically fathom the guilty brains of adults. And the same child living today tomorrow will be crying if we don’t get this right..

But it does not seem that leadership ever wants to get it right, instead they just want to give it to the enemy..

But do they know their enemy? Do we?

This statement may risk sounding passé but it does not get written without proof: There are so many people on this planet, those who I speak to and others who I listen to, that seem to agree ‘Something seems ready to happen’.. That something seems ready to break, or that we are in for a wild time of history.

I don’t know how true or false the idea of collective consciousness could be, and I certainly do not know or have any proof that could state for sure that people have knowledge of an event before said the event takes place. But I could tell you this without any doubt: Many people have a certain feeling of unease about the present, and even more of a worry about the future..

And as I said above, every generation has its worries and it’s wars and it’s pestilence and it’s crimes, and every generation sees horror that the previous could not fathom.. And maybe we are all just had a breaking point, perhaps we are fed up and maybe we have just seen too much. Or maybe we haven’t seen anything yet. And that is the truth here, the idea that something worse is about to occur..

Over the past several months and especially weeks I’ve seen a number of stories concerning solar flares and the grid.. People seem to be very worried lately about the grid. We know the grid is very old, and we sure as hell know that no one has seriously put time or effort into improving the grid in a generation. Maybe that is why we’re worried, the collective feeling that are dumb luck may run out. Or perhaps is that deep fear yet again sitting in about the solar maximum, or even the quarter of the sun that exploded from itself this past summer..

I don’t know what it is, but I know many people share the sentiment that we are in for turbulent times..

Last night on Coast to Coast a.m., John Hogue prophesies about the coming events in the near future.. From Syria to climate change, the future is not so bright, at least according to him.. Maybe he is right and maybe he is wrong, but these days most people would buy into the doom and gloom that people like him and others are sharing..

So what is the answer? Hell if I know..

These thoughts are just thoughts being shared out loud for you to see and ponder, late into the night and deep into the darkness, as deep and dark is your mind will permit..
