	A lot of people believe the world as we know it 
	is going to end on December 23, 2012. Nonsense, I say. 
	
	 
	
	The far more honest answer is that the end of 
	the world as we know it has already begun. And it doesn't mean the 
	end of the world; it means the closing of one era and the birth of a new 
	one. It is a transition between the ages. This particular transition, 
	however, promises to be the most tumultuous and costly transition humankind 
	has ever seen.
	
	But don't wait around for 
	December 2012 to look for the signs. 
	
	 
	
	Here are 14 signs that the world as we know it 
	is unraveling right now. We are living through the end of one era and the 
	birth of a new one. In the future, they'll look back and call this all one 
	moment in history, but when you're living through it, it seems to move 
	forward at almost a snail's pace. 
	
	 
	
	But make no mistake: 
	
		
		We are living through the opening chapters 
		of the end of the world as we know it, and on the other side of all this 
		will emerge a new world that's very different from the one we know 
		today.
 
		
			- 
			
			Tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and 
			tsunamis
			
			At first it seemed like a fluke; but now 
			it's a pattern. 
			The weather is becoming 
			increasingly extreme. Over 120 tornadoes recently struck the U.S. 
			Midwest. Texas is on fire and suffering through an extreme drought.
			
			 
			
			And where there aren't fires and 
			droughts, there are floods. This is only the beginning... watch for 
			more freak weather over the next 18 months.
			
 
 
			- 
			
			The silence of the bees
			
			Colony Collapse Disorder continues to 
			accelerate across North America. We already know it's being caused 
			in part by chemical pesticides (and possibly worsened by GMOs), but 
			the chemical industry is engaged in a full-on cover-up to deny this 
			truth while the pollinators of our world suffer a
			
			devastating population collapse. 
			
 
 
			- 
			
			The failure of nuclear science
			
			The
			
			Fukushima catastrophe proves one 
			thing: Scientists are dangerously arrogant in their planning of 
			large-scale projects, and they fail to account for the awesome power 
			of Mother Nature. Nuclear science promised us clean, green energy - 
			but now it has delivered a silent, invisible poison that's infecting 
			our planet.
			
 
 
			- 
			
			The vicious pursuit of WikiLeaks
			
			In an age of such rampant deceit, there 
			is no room for the truth. So those who tell the truth (WikiLeaks) 
			are viciously pursued as if they were criminals.
			
 
 
			- 
			
			The rise of the medical police state
			
			The armed SWAT raids on Maryanne 
			Godboldo in Detroit are only the beginning. The truth is that
			
			the medical system uses guns to force 
			its vaccines and chemotherapy onto children and teens across 
			America. 
			 
			
			The medical system has become so utterly 
			useless, corrupt and dangerous that it must actually invoke guns in 
			peoples' faces just to "convince" people to take its medicine. This 
			is a gunpoint-enforced medical monopoly that exists as a threat to 
			our health and our freedoms.
			
 
 
			- 
			
			The increasing frequency of food 
			shortages and crop failures
			
			Notice the spike in food prices? That's 
			just the beginning:
			
			Food prices will continue to 
			skyrocket in the years ahead due to extreme weather, the loss of 
			pollinators and the global contamination of crops by GMOs. Real food 
			is becoming increasingly scarce in our world. You might want to 
			think about starting a home garden...
			
 
 
			- 
			
			The runaway destruction of the world by 
			energy companies
			
			The radioactive fallout from Fukushima 
			isn't the only way in which energy companies are destroying our 
			world: Don't forget about the Deepwater Horizon and the
			
			massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico 
			- a spill that isn't over, by the way. 
			 
			
			They're still
			
			spraying Corexit in the Gulf one 
			year later!
			
 
 
			- 
			
			The continued GMO contamination of our 
			planet
			
			This may be the worst chapter in the 
			coming collapse: The widespread genetic
			
			pollution of our planet through GMOs. 
			This is a crime against nature and against humanity.
			 
			
			It is a "gene 
			spill" that may never be contained as it spreads its 
			deadly DNA across the world's food crops, leading to crop failures 
			and starvation. The use of GMOs is the closest thing to "Satanic" 
			that you'll find in modern agriculture. The agenda behind this is 
			pure evil.
			
 
 
			- 
			
			The tyranny and criminal crackdowns 
			targeting real food (raw milk)
			
			When you can't even sell honest farm 
			food to your neighbors without being targeted and arrested by the 
			cops, something is terribly wrong with the world. But this is 
			happening today, all across America. Now the feds are even
			
			targeting the Amish!
			
 
 
			- 
			
			The escalation of the counterfeiting of 
			the money supply
			
			In a
			
			failed economic system approaching 
			collapse, the moronic leaders can only think of "solutions" that 
			actually accelerate their own downfall. 
			 
			
			The runaway counterfeiting of money by
			
			the Federal Reserve (with its 
			"quantitative easing" and other counterfeit methods) is a classic 
			sign that the end of our current system is fast approaching. The 
			economic insanities are obvious to anyone who can still do math.
			
 
 
			- 
			
			The plummeting intelligence of the 
			masses
			
			One of the most disturbing signs that 
			we're already in the collapse is the great dumbing-down of the 
			masses. The drooling, CNN-watching television zombies who dominate 
			our landscape offer absolutely nothing of value to the world. 
			
			 
			
			They are the "mindless consumers"
			
			who get vaccinated,
			
			watch television and
			
			eat processed, pasteurized junk food. 
			They're on 
			psychiatric meds and believe 
			everything the government tells them. Most of these people, of 
			course, won't make it through the collapse.
			
 
 
			- 
			
			The complete and utter fabrication of 
			the mainstream news
			
			Much of the
			
			mainstream news is now utterly and completely 
			fabricated these days: The reporting on Obama's long-form 
			birth certificate; the news about the war in Libya; the coverage of 
			the economy and the U.S. debt... it's all so utterly false and 
			unbelievable that an intelligent person watching the news can't help 
			but explode with laughter.
			 
			
			It is a sign of this collapse that the 
			information sources relied upon by the masses are unable to report 
			the truth anymore and must resort to weaving politically expedient 
			fictions on everything from health care and medicine to the fate of 
			the U.S. dollar itself.
			
 
 
			- 
			
			The ongoing pharmaceutical pollution of 
			our world
			
			Beyond the GMO contamination and the 
			radiation contamination of our world, we are also experiencing the 
			mass 
			pharmaceutical contamination of our planet. 
			It's not just the pharma factories that dump their products
			
			into the rivers; it's also the fact 
			that well over half the population is now taking drugs almost daily, 
			and those drugs pass right through their bodies and end up in the 
			water supply where they contaminate the fish. 
			 
			
			Even beyond that, the drugs end up in 
			the human
			
			sewage sludge that's packaged and sold 
			as "organic soil!" 
			
			
 
 
			- 
			
			The radioactive contamination of the 
			global food supply
			
			Here's one that's really insidious: The 
			global food supply is now contaminated with the radioactive fallout 
			from Fukushima. We're told the levels are "low," but we're not told 
			the truth of how radioactive cesium isotopes persist in the food 
			supply for centuries. 
			 
			
			How is the human race going to survive 
			its exposure to,
			
				
			
			
			The total radiation burden on the human 
			race is now reaching a point of mass infertility. That may be 
			the whole idea,
			
			actually.
 
		
	
	
	
 
	
	It's accelerating, too
	
	
	December, 2012 may be a useful date as some sort of mid-point in the crisis, 
	or perhaps as a trigger date for some further acceleration of society's 
	rapid unraveling. 
	
	 
	
	But make no mistake: We are already living in 
	the collapse of our modern world. And you have a front-row seat! (Exciting, 
	huh?)
	
	Think about what's happening around you these days. These are the signs of 
	the last, desperate clutches of a civilization built on utterly 
	unsustainable practices that don't value life on our world. These are the 
	End Times of the corporate oligarchy; the monopolistic for-profit 
	corporation machine that destroyed everything in our world in exchange for a 
	slightly higher quarterly earnings report.
	
	In the quest for more money, humanity has sacrificed its food supply, its 
	pollinators, it's oceans, forests and soils. Greed-driven humans have used 
	other humans as medical experiments and cannon fodder. We have created wars 
	to sell more bombs, and we've invented disease to sell psychiatric 
	chemicals.
	
	These are the practices of a failed civilization... and one whose days are 
	numbered. 
	
	 
	
	Watching it all crumble is far more interesting 
	than watching it continue its destructive ways, of course, because those of 
	us paying attention realize a future civilization must rise up in the place 
	of this one after the collapse.
 
	
	 
	
	
	Say goodbye to the 
	false power of institutions
	
	
	It would be nice if our future leaders remembered the importance of liberty 
	and personal responsibility, of course. 
	
	 
	
	The answer to all the world's problems, it turns 
	out, is freedom - freedom in medicine, freedom in economics and freedom from 
	government tyranny.
	
	Because, let's face it: The root cause of most these problems that are 
	bringing down our world right now is bad government. It is bad government 
	(Big Government) that approved the GMOs. Bad government enforced the medical 
	monopoly and allowed the pesticides to kill the honeybees. Bad government 
	drove us into inescapable debt and costly foreign wars. 
	
	 
	
	Bad government outlawed health freedom and 
	protected the monopolistic practices of the food companies, drug companies 
	and chemical companies.
	
	The downfall of modern human civilization is, as you probably guessed, also 
	the downfall of the very idea that Big Government creates a better society. 
	Because if there's one idea that needs to stay dead after the collapse, it's 
	the idea that We the People somehow need another group of people (government 
	workers) to live off our hard work while hounding us with their false 
	authority, directing every little detail of our lives.
	
	What we need in our world isn't more government, but more freedom. If we had 
	freedom, integrity and personal responsibility, we wouldn't even be facing 
	the global collapse that has already begun. 
	
	 
	
	But alas, the human race is an 
	infant species and it must learn some lessons the hard way, it seems.
	
	This lesson should be long remembered: 
	
		
		If you let the corporations, the banks and 
		the governments run your economies, your farms and your lives, they will 
		enslave you and steal your future while you sleep; they will inject 
		silent poisons into the very world around you until you awaken one day 
		to find that all you created has been destroyed. They will promise you 
		paradise but deliver only death. 
	
	
	Beware of any entity that is not a living person 
	- no government, no institution, no corporation has a soul, nor a heart, nor 
	a conscience. They are forces of organized destruction that decimate those 
	things we hold dear while delivering to us things that will only enslave us 
	or harm us.
	
	Beware the corporation; the government; the non-profit institution working 
	as a front group for private industry. Never allow yourself to be ruled 
	over by any institution which exists only as a fictional construct 
	organized from the projection of human greed.
	
	And be ready for the acceleration of the collapse. Because if you are 
	reading this, you are the future of the human race. 
	
	 
	
	You have a duty to stay alive, keep your genes 
	intact, and be around to help create the Next Society after this one 
	crumbles into history.
