Supervolcano Alert!

Thar she blows!

Guest post by Robert Gore at Straight Line Logic

Once every 600,000 years or so Yellowstone’s supervolcano erupts, making Mt. St. Helens, Pinatubo, and Krakatoa look like firecrackers. It blankets thousands of miles around it in lava and ash, casting a pall over the earth that lowers temperatures and hinders plant life for decades. Compared to Mother Nature we anthropogenic climate changers (if we are that) are pikers. Interestingly enough, that supervolcano is due for another eruption. Interestingly enough, so too is another supervolcano, one constructed entirely by humans. As to which erupts first, bet on the latter.

Newton’s Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Coercion and violence generate a reaction, a countervailing pressure. They are historical constants, so like Yellowstone’s volcano, the pressure has been building for centuries, although not 6,000 of them. Like Yellowstone’s geysers, pressure-reducing steam has occasionally been released; coercion has abated and freedom briefly flowered. We know those periods as the times when progress mostly happened: the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution. However, the twentieth century marked a resurgence of pressure.

Their intellectual degradation complete, the coercive class meets any manifestation of countervailing pressure with still more coercion. The most pathetic case is the US government. Left at a zenith of power at the end of World War II, it has squandered its moral, military, and financial capital trying to squelch the forces that will inevitably topple its empire. After each disaster, it has sought new disasters. President Trump’s tripling down on Bush’s and Obama’s Afghanistan bets is yet another instance of the belief that force which fails can be “fixed” with more force.

The reactive opposites are decentralization and individual autonomy. Individuals now have unprecedented capacities to wage violence, communicate, and compute. Since World War II governments are batting virtually zero trying to suppress insurgencies waged by guerrillas fighting on their home turf. Try as they might to suppress the Internet, they can’t go too far without severing their economies from the backbone of the information economy. Individuals perform computing feats on their smart phones that were beyond the capabilities of room-size computers fifty years ago. These are the forces pushing back against governmental centralization and coercion.

Lately, not a day has gone by where an article hasn’t appeared arguing that the US government or the media or the globalists or some other nefarious entity is pulling the strings of some nefarious “divide and conquer” strategy. “Divide” needs no help from anyone. Unless humans develop the ability to split themselves, division has proceeded as far as it can go. A solitary soul can work, shop, eat, drink, find amusement and information, and do everything else necessary to sustain life without ever leaving his dwelling or coming into contact with another human being. Undoubtedly some do.

Dividing is a done deal. Conquering is more problematic and in fact won’t happen. A government that’s sixteen years on in Afghanistan and hasn’t won a significant military engagement since World War II is going to have a bit of a problem either maintaining its faltering empire or subjugating its own well-armed population, half of which doesn’t like it very much, the other half expecting a perpetual payday. What if its creditors pull the charge card from the Empire of Debt?

The same problems—imperial inefficiency and debt far in excess of the underlying economy’s ability to support it—will unexpectedly walk in on the globalists’ masturbatory fantasies. Governments at all levels have collectively plighted their troth to a spurious order maintained by force and fraud, resting on a supervolcano. The seismic portents have registered for decades. The Thousand Year Reich lasted twelve years, the Soviet Union sixty-nine. The Chinese government extended its life by rearranging its battery of forces, but the potential—so far successfully suppressed—counter-reaction leaves the rulers in a perpetual state of repressive anxiety.

The western welfare states are beset by bankruptcy, unsustainable expectations, faltering economies, Brexit, Trump, separatist and secessionist movements, and pitched battles over campus speakers, statues, and whatever else triggers the triggered. These are akin to Yellowstone’s recent seismic swarms, and they’ll only get more numerous and intense.

The list of irritations and grievances that can morph into confrontation and chaos is endless. It dawns on the debt-slave young that they are supporting their elders in a style to which they will never become accustomed. The productive tire of funding the unproductive and their government-sponsored rackets. Natives wonder why they should open their arms to migrants, especially those who hate them. Americans rebel against their government’s costly military interventions (okay, that one’s remote). Europe finds the Islamic chokehold increasingly choking and European manhood rediscovers its testicles (even more remote). It would be fitting if the first big morph came at some place like Davos or Jackson Hole.

The think-tank terms for today’s tremors are “devolution” and “decentralization,” always characterized as threats. Supervolcanos take no prisoners. When this one erupts, it will obliterate the rickety superstructures of global governance, finance, and economic. The proper phraseology will be, “blown to smithereens”: the just and unjust, prepared and unprepared, wise and foolish buried under lava flows and choked by ashes, reality beyond a hand in front of one’s face impossible to make out amidst the smoke and haze. The beloved order of the ruling class giving way to entropic atomization.

Atoms are life’s building blocks. Most everything worthwhile—family, community, trade, inquiry, innovation, production, progress—starts with individuals and builds. Most everything deleterious—repression, state-sponsored rapacity, tyranny, war—is imposed from the top by sociopaths masquerading as leaders. Bad as the supervolcano will be, it will blow this “top” to bits, giving the green shoots of decentralized freedom a chance to poke here and there through the ash. It’s about time.

Nice article. But, finally something I can disagree with. Yea! This …

” … government that’s sixteen years on in Afghanistan and hasn’t won a significant military engagement since World War II is going to have a bit of a problem either maintaining its faltering empire or subjugating its own well-armed population, …”

If — and it’s probably a big if — they bring all/most of those thousands of troops home, plus all that equipment … then subjugating us just got a helluva easier …. despite us having guns behind every blade of grass.

Perhaps the pressure comes not from a super-volcano but, from overpopulation;

— get rid of libtard’s (most of Europe and half of ‘Murica)

— get rid of mooslim fucktards (about a billion Allah Snackbars)

— get rid of low IQ worthless eaters (most of Africa)

— cut off access to beans and burritos

— get rid of Zara

Suddenly you’re down to 2 – 3 billion souls, which would greatly relieve pressures.

especially zara-he causes most of the problems in the world–

“President Trump’s tripling down on Bush’s and Obama’s Afghanistan bets is yet another instance of the belief that force which fails can be “fixed” with more force.”
——–
There is no intention of “winning” in Afghanistan. It’s merely occupation–to protect the poppy fields and rare earth minerals, and who knows what else underneath the surface (stargates?). And to have troops at the ready for future flare-ups in the region.

Robert, good analogy to Yellowstone!

Sorry Stuck , but bringing battled hardened American warriors home would just add to the numbers of the Right willing to fight. Best for the globalists to keep them active overseas , instead of risking increasing the ranks of the duty bound white male.

Stucky

Sure, your scenario is just as plausible as mine.

But, there are many kneegrows in the military. Not sure if they would join the right.

Also, I just don’t have high hopes that the military will do the needful thing. Military folk do one thing very well …. follow orders.

Combat troops are mostly white. Logistics is black , latino and female or sometimes simply referred to as the ” breeder battalions .” Factor that in, too.

Why don’t you add:
—worthless, but able bodied ptsd veterans, sucking the system dry.
—retired military and civil service retirees
—white whores calling themselves single mothers
I’ll take a bean and burrito mexican, or, as you call them, a low iq african anytime over one of the above mentioned.

So combat troops aren’t mostly white then?

I love the writing and articles you contribute Robert, however I foresee a different future.
I foresee a much darker and bleaker outcome. I first must admit that my faith and study of eschatology has a great influence on my vision–but I also envision the dark outcome from simple demographics.
Globalism will win ( although never with totality). I think that the birthrate issue of nationalists is one huge factor as 1.2 kids per 2 adults for the native population can’t compete with 5 or 6 kids each from Islamist, Sub-Saharan and South American immigrants.
The aging of boomers alone ensures the demise of the USA which is the last bastion of western culture. Our progeny are predominantly socialist at the least with large swaths full blown cultural Marxists and even economic Marxists.
Western Hegemony is actually winning in its own way. The destruction and surrounding of the last holdouts continues–but boy won’t the NeoCons be surprised that when they finally get a Sunni middle east, a controlled African trade zone, a neutered Russia and China as a pseudo-capitalist member of the global Trade Zones, that they won’t be the ones in control of any of it.
A new wave of “progressives” are coming. I ultimately foresee the end of the McCain’s, Pelosi’s, Graham’s, McConnel’s and Feinstein’s –and then the people that have been placed by Obama, Jarrett, the Foundation, Social Media and corporate media–these people are coming and will be ruthless. We may even see a Khmer Rouge level event in the USA where the radical youth are encouraged by their leaders ( maybe a single, highly charismatic leader with amazing abilities) to eliminate us subversives and their elders who are inhibiting “progress.”
I hope I am wrong- I fear that I am right.

There are two groups in the world with growing populations. Muslims and Conservative Christians. All the Progtards and world improvers etc. are aborting their children or not having any. The future belongs to my descendants and those of old Morehammered over there. It’s all about the numbers in the end.

Treachery and betrayal .The Republicans are not worth a shit.Gave them control of the house / Senate and the executive branch.What have they done besides block Trump at every opportunity ?Trump could do everything he promised if the Republicans would get out of the way.

@Gave them control of the house / Senate and the executive branch.What have they done

the same thing they did under jr bush when they had the same setup for 6 years. nothing. we didn’t learn from that example. we won’t learn from this example. we’ll fall for the same joke next time: “at least hillary isn’t president”. the cuck-republican is hillary is the punch line to that joke.

Primary every RINO bastard. Replace every one of them. Since they have done nothing, whoever replaces them cannot do worse. Refuse to listen to those who will say we have to keep the “experienced” RINOs.

Nice article Robert

Top down bottom up seems as if I have heard that before.

Saying this government ‘is going to have a bit of a problem maintaining it’s empire or subjugating it’s own well armed population’ is a bit of an understatement imho. It is likely that when this thing blows, while everyone is focused on not choking on the smoke and haze that is when draconian solutions will be imposed. If the current ruling empire is unable to impose these solutions due to lack of full faith and credit that is when we will see blue helmets come streaming in from every direction.

A good crisis is never let go to waste. It will be decided by the rest of the world that we Americanos can not be left to sort this out by ourselves. We might just get it right this time and TPTB could never allow that to happen. No way could such a bright light of liberty be allowed to exist in such a dark world. Beside there is always the children to think of.

The only fly in that ointment is the fact that a lot of the “blue helmets” have families too. The sociopaths at the top can only wield control over the populous, as long as the “boots on the ground” continue to see the purpose (or believe the purpose) more than they believe in their own well being, and for those they care. Then it is game over for the sociopaths, as then the tide rolls out, and they have no pants.

ZOG is great at dividing but eventually people will get fed up with a poisonous snake in their house, cut it’s head off and then do some calculated subtractions.

A very thought-provoking piece, Robert. And I do want, very much, to embrace your optimism. It is possible, in the aftermath of the inevitable and forthcoming civilizational volcanic eruption(s) for “green shoots of decentralized freedom” to take root; especially, as an outgrowth of a governmental implosion brought about by bureaucratic incompetence. It is very tempting to envision multitudinous arrays of Galt’s Gulches taking root and blossoming all over the post-apocalypse; as individuals work in harmony to rebuild.

Yet, I am not so sure.

I am not sure because I question a few of your premises. For example, I don’t believe the Afghanistan war was meant to be won. Therefore, incompetence may not apply. As Orwell once intimated, war was meant to be continuous. Conversely, I fear the modern and urban warfare in the middle-east may have been merely practice. What if, because of modern technology via surveillance, drones, advanced weaponry, and a cashless financial system, the world elite will, instead, raise a new kind of phoenix?

I also question if “entropic atomization” will bring about “decentralization and individual autonomy”, at least ensuing the immediate collapse, for two reasons:

1.) Increased centralization and control through the previously mentioned power of technology, as wielded by those in power.

And,

2.) “Their intellectual degradation complete”, in my opinion, applies to the majority populations.

We are a nation of air-conditioned house cats being parachuted into a tropical jungle during a Category Five hurricane. A large percentage of American citizens don’t know how to open their car doors when the batteries die in their keyless remotes.

Yes, (as you say) “family, community, trade, inquiry, innovation, production, progress” does start with “individuals and builds”. This was true during the ascendency of industrial civilization. However, a post-industrial collapse will not provide a similar environment. There will be rampant crime in both overpopulated and rural areas. Family will be pitted against family. Neighbor will rise against neighbor and battles will be waged over food and water. I am not seeing rampant individualism and innovation taking place in Venezuela currently, and I don’t see why it will be different here. On the contrary, I tend to believe, within the chaos, there will be voices screaming, in unison, for a return to order. This will most-likely result in gang rule or little kings reigning over little fiefdoms. Or maybe even as many of the Christian persuasion are now predicting: A larger beast exiting stage left with a 666 tattoo on his forehead and a credit-card reader in his back pocket.

The Z-man wrote recently about the dark powers “killing the chickens to keep the monkey’s in line”. With the technological powers at the disposal of those in control, the key to centralizing power becomes no harder than game of Whack-a-mole. Except in my view, they might soon be whacking the guerrillas to keep the chickens in line. When hungry and scared, who wants to fight? On the contrary, most people will slip on any collar for a slice of bread and learn to like their new “necklace”.

In the long term, however, I do agree that entropy will run its course, thus allowing for a return to freedom, if not decentralization. Wisdom, resilience, perseverance, and courage, will be as valuable as gold and silver in the days ahead. Beware the patient ones.

Actually gov is trying to kill us. Vaccinations for
newborns (hep B), GMO, sugar everywhere, franken-
food, DU and white phosphorus in every port, cooking
viruses and bacteria, “smart dust” and aerosol
spraying…what is that in the sky? Drugs for every-
body too! And the paper $ is near worthless. Thanks
gov. They go full out? They’ll send in the killer
robots. Or DU/burn bombs by drone. They are
pretty good at killing people.

We may have to play a role in the JHK novels
series…”world made by hand”…working around
the clock, just to eat. Pity the cities. They be cooked.

Thanks Bob, you have us thinking of alternatives
to the reclining lounge chair and the wicked TV.

Suzanna–Netflix has a new release ( at least for me it was new) called “Vaxxed”–A really eye-opening investigative piece which PROVES that the CDC knew all along the inarguable ties from the MMR vaccine between ages 18 to 24 months and autism. The Head of the CDC, the chief scientist ran a study and came to the conclusion but was ordered not to publish his findings.
He has been waiting for years, for even a single, solitary member of Congress to subpoena him so that he can come public with his studies/evidence. Not a single member of Congress will start an investigation or subpoena him. If he comes forward on his own he will be sent to prison and his evidence destroyed/seized ( he holds the only hard copies as the other copies were ordered destroyed by the govt head of the Dept–who since has been hired by Merck the company that makes the vaccine–so corrupt it is dizzying.)
There is another movie about Hydrofluorosilicic Acid–an industrial by-product –which is a deadly poison and any spills of this substance require Hazmat teams to clean up as it is so corrosive it eats steel and concrete. Oh by the way, most people know it as fluoride when it is dumped by the ton into the water supply……….

Javelin, You are entirely correct. I wish everyone
knew about these 2 issues. For one, the
vaccines…parents would tell the doc to “shove
it” and so solly no $ for harm. The plot against
the 6 yrs and under group is really tragic.
Thanks very much for knowing/sharing.

@Javelin, your comment about the CDC scientist wanting to testify is similar to the whistleblowers at Rocky Flats plutonium plant in the 70’s-90’s. I’m currently reading “Full Body Burden” about the coverup of contamination at Rocky Flats by Dow Chemical and Rockwell International while they were the contractors at that Dept. of Energy site.

I have thought long and hard on the “subjugation construct” and how that plays out realistically. Admittedly, the thought of the 82 airborne marching into your town is sobering, however I have concluded that will never happen. When the entropy gets started, it will naturally take hold first in the huge urban/suburban enclaves. It will accelerate quickly in those places and they are likely to see the national guard activated quickly. Rudimentary public safety will not exist as we know it, and while the natural guard will enforce curfews and such, most of the effort will go to providing potable water and food and other such disaster support. However the moment someone gives an order to use the force of the military against the population (shooting civilians) I think you will immediately see the military ranks start to thin out significantly as soldiers refuse that order and go AWOL to get to their families. If you are outside of one these major urban/suburban areas, you will not warrant much attention or resources, the system will simply be overwhelmed on all fronts. There will be 1.7 million military (200K or more of those are overseas) to subjugate 300 million people. The math will not work unless you are in a major urban center. A couple of us have done the math in our neck of the woods. My county has 140 +/- sworn police officers at full strength for a population of 95,000. Once they put security on the hospitals, the fire department and major roadways, they are not going to be anything effective you can count on, and that’s before they lose some folks. Our population is heavily skewed to “2nd amendment enthusiasts” all of whom are heavily stocked up after 8 years of the previous administration, combine that with the fact that the population has the highest number of combat experienced veterans in our midst since the “greatest generation” came home. I have concluded that in areas such as mine we will see a very tense but polite wild west type scenario emerge. The criminal element will not last long, we are 200 miles from any major city which will limit the refugee hordes and “preparedness” is not fringe talk in these parts. If the infrastructure goes down in a major way (EMP, Cyber attack, Yellowstone caldera, new Madrid mega quake etc.) The military will have even less effectiveness. We will have a major crisis to survive and it will be fraught with peril, but getting shot by the US Army will be he least likely thing you end up succumbing too in my opinion.

The top down, bottom up paradigm is interesting. It seems to apply to many structures, including business. Years ago I worked for a retailer that at that time was focused on providing good customer service, good pricing and good value. It then was regarded as one of-if not the top-player in the industry. Numbers were great, growth was great, and stock options were a valued prize. Then the company was “taken over” by a select group of bean counters. Focus shifted from “front line execution” to back room deals with wall street. Inevitably, destruction ensued. In three or four years the company was a shell of its former self and its various divisions were sold off and the company was broken up. The grandiose undoing the good work of the sincere and hard working. Its too bad.

Bob just described the take down of America, by Wall street.
short term profits are the result of lazy, greedy, money grubbers.
