Gordon Brown, the UK’s ‘leader’ is currently floundering as we enter the years of the Perfect Storm. He has no answers, he is not proacting, he is showing clearly that he has no clue how to discuss with his nation the problems that face us all:
Military crisis
Environmental crisis
Financial crisis
Food crisis
Oil crisis
And the biggest crisis of all: These five layered and forward-feeding factors that will end the world as we know it. Watch Naomi Klein (author of No Logo; Shock Doctrine) on the choice that is currently facing Americans.
This same choice will face Europeans as the situation here quickly follows that in the US. We may not be such a suburban culture as North America, but our way of life is nevertheless still predicated on what the philosopher Derrick Jensen terms a Culture of Make Believe.
We will be faced with an End of Suburbia and social and economic change on the same scale as North America, culturally different on the surface but no less massive. The five horses of the combined emergent property known as the apocalypse, the five factors of the Perfect Storm, are now upon us. Rome is burning and we are down at the forum watching Big Brother. Just at the moment when UK Parliament is considering building Big Brother’s brain. How beautifully ironic.
