Something’s Coming, We Don’t Know What It Is But It Is Going To Be Bad

“With a click, with a shock
Phone’ll jingle, door’ll knock, open the latch
Something’s coming, don’t know when but it’s soon . . . “
– “Something’s Coming,” lyrics by S. Sondheim, music by L. Bernstein – West Side Story

Shock should not be the word, but when World War III breaks fully loose many who are now sleeping will be shocked.  The war has already started, but it’s full fury and devastation are just around the corner.  When it does, Tony’s singular fate in West Side Story will be the fate of untold millions.

It is a Greek tragedy brought on by the terrible hubris of the United States, its NATO accomplices, and the genocidal state of Israel and the Zionist terrorists who run it.

Tony felt a miracle was due, but it didn’t come true for him except to briefly love Maria and then get killed as result of a false report, and only a miracle will now save the world from the cataclysm that is on the way, whether it is initiated by intent, a false report, an accident, or the game of nuclear chicken played once too often.

Let us hope but not be naïve.  The signs all point in one direction.  The gun on the wall in the first act of this tragic play is primed to go off in the final one.  Every effort to avoid this terrible fate by seeking peace and not war has been rejected by the U.S. and its equally insane allies.  Every so-called red line laid down by Russia, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinians, and their allies has been violated with impunity and blatant arrogance.  But impunity has its limits and the dark Furies of vengeance will have their day.

“It is the dead, not the living,” said Antigone, “who make the longest demands.”  Their ghostly voices cry out to be avenged.

I wish I were not compelled by conscience to write this, but it seems clearly evident to me that we stand on the edge of an abyss.  The fate of the world rests in the hands of leaders who are clearly psychotic and who harbor death wishes.  It’s not terribly complex.  Netanyahu and Biden are two of them.  Yes, like other mass killers, I think they love their children and give their dogs biscuits to eat.  But yes, they also are so corrupted in their souls that they relish war and the sense of false power and prestige it brings them.  They gladly kill other people’s children.  They can defend themselves many times over, offer all kinds of excuses, but the facts speak otherwise.  This is hard for regular people to accept.

The great American writer who lived in exile in France for so many years and who was born 100 years ago this month, James Baldwin, wrote an essay – “The Creative Process” – in which he addressed the issue of how becoming a normal member of society dulls one to the shadow side of personal and social truths.  He wrote:

And, in the same way that to become a social human being one modifies and suppresses and, ultimately, without great courage, lies to oneself about all one’s interior, uncharted chaos, so have we, as a nation, modified or suppressed and lied about all the darker forces in our history.

And lie and suppress we still do today.

Imagine, if you will, that Mexico has invaded Texas with the full support of the Russian, Chinese, and Iranian governments.  Their weapons are supplied by these countries and their drone and missile attacks on the U.S. are coordinated by Russian technology.  The Seven Mile Bridge in Florida has been attacked.  The U.S. Mexican border is dotted with Russian troops on bases with nuclear missiles aimed at U.S. cities.

It’s not hard to do.  That is a small analogy to what the U.S./NATO is doing to Russia.

Do you think the United States would not respond with great force?

Do you think it would not feel threatened with nuclear annihilation?

How do you think it would respond?

The U.S/NATO war against Russia via Ukraine is accelerating by the day.  The current Ukrainian invasion of Russia’s Kursk region has upped the ante dramatically.  After denying it knew in advance of this Ukrainian invasion of Russia, the demented U.S. President Joseph Biden said the other day when asked about the fighting in Kursk, “I’ve spoken with my staff on a regular basis probably every four or five hours for the last six or eight days. And it’s — it’s creating a real dilemma for Putin.  And we’ve been in direct contact — constant contact with — with the Ukrainians.”  Do you think Kamala Harris was kept in the dark?

Now how do you think the Russians are going to respond?  How many red lines will they allow the U.S. to cross without massive retaliation?  And what kind of retaliation?

Switch then to the Middle East where the Iranians and their allies are preparing to retaliate to Israel’s attacks on their soil. No one knows when but it seems soon.  Something is coming and it won’t be pretty.  Will it then ignite a massive war in the region with the U.S. and Israel pitted against the region?  Will nuclear weapons be used?  Will the wars in Ukraine/Russia and the Middle East join into what will be called WW III?

While the U.S. continues to massively arm Israel, Russia is arming its ally Iran and likely training them in the use of those weapons as the U.S. is doing in Ukraine. The stage is set.  We enter the final act.

Natanyahu wants and needs war to survive.  So he thinks.  Psychotic killers always do.

The signs all point in one direction.  No one should be shocked if the worst comes to pass.

“Phone’ll jingle, door’ll knock, open the latch.”

If you have time.

  1. You used the word ‘’psychotic’ to describe these powers-that-shouldn’t-be. Psychopathic I think is what you meant, since there is a distinction between those terms that often gets conflated or misunderstood.

  7. You see…., if you remember the newscaster in the 1976 movie, ‘Network’, he said, “first you’ve got to get mad”…and here is another problem. Most people are afraid of their emotions. People have been told to ‘control’ to suppress their real emotions…and toward the madness, the violence that is occurring. So we read about the children that cannot grow up to be adults, because they are dead. The women who can no longer have children, because they are dead. The sick people wearing ugly neckties, giving orders to thousands, millions of people and people, out of fear obeying these savages who are giving orders. The same problem exists everywhere people have accepted being non-humans, subdued by some fraudulent system of control, some man designed hierarchical, demented idea about how humans should live and then with all of the associated problems. WE have read and consumed the wrong information and yet we even boast of our ignorance ! Real human beings would not get angry at a Tree for not bearing fruit one year!

  8. Can’t be helped, the track is covered.
    Hopeless! We have lost our way.
    Demons must have taken over,
    Whirling, twisting us astray. . . .

    . . . .Look at them! They’re everywhere!
    Hear the mournful tune they make!
    What, a witch’s wedding fare?
    Or a goblin’s gloomy wake?
    [From “The Demons” (Alexander Pushkin)]

    And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

    Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the heard ran violently down a steep place into the lake and were choked.

    When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

    Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
    -Luke (8: 32-37)

  10. Ed’s words, presaging an impending end-of-age fulfillment…. “It is a Greek tragedy brought on by the terrible hubris of the United States, its NATO accomplices, and the genocidal state of Israel and the Zionist terrorists who run it.”…. can be found in the parlance of Zephaniah, a much earlier prophet, in the first eight (8) verses of Chapter 3.

  12. If all your life, someone is constantly warning you to “Have that mole removed!” and all your life you ignore the warning, congratulations: you understand perfectly the state of humanity.

    Power, wealth and their child – war – have always been a mole festering on humanity. And humanity has been constantly warned to “Have that dynamic removed!” But always to no avail.

    So now humanity has reached the point of no return, when it’s literally “do or die.” Get rid of the things which lead inescapably to war or face a “war to end all wars.” The war humanity has been inching its way toward since day one. The war which will render all future wars irrelevant – because there will be no one left to fight them.

  13. Many, myself included, have a dark foreboding about the direction of current events. There appears to be an historical inevitability about it all, and that final act seems sure to come.
    I’ll just add that Biden may love his children, but daughter Ashley’s diary and son Hunter’s (“the smartest guy I know”) references to 10% for the Big Guy put a malignant twist to his affections.

  15. Yes….”Something’s Coming, We Don’t Know What It Is But It Is Going To Be Bad” I have no doubt people said that 248 years ago and everyday since!

    1. They have. The only difference is the technology to do it didn’t exist then. Everything is in place to bring about the end of days, digital everything, chipping people (in the head or hand), barcodes on hands (yep, it’s happening). Does that sound familiar?

      People take comfort in the “they’ve been saying that forever” line of thought because the alternative is too hard for them to accept. I get it, I did that myself for many years, but the truth is the demons in power actually have the means to fulfil what was prophesied thousands of years ago.

      I’m not saying this is the beginning of the end of days, only God knows the timing, but the technology is in place. It’s time for people to stop whistling past the graveyard and get ready. Whatever is coming is going to be dark and like nothing mankind has seen before.

  16. Now one has to attend to the limited hangout Seymour Hersh, Nord Stream was him thinking everyone was unaware he wrote of the US BIO/Chem program but was in absentia during Covid. Chomsky and Ellsberg played their roles, Danny even married a general’s daughter- social climber:)
