(Note: The socioeconomic and environmental Apocalypse is undeniably upon us.
But the lies, deceptions and betrayals promulgated by the One
Percenters and their minions no longer hide how -- in accordance with
their shock-doctrine -- they are using the Apocalypse to impose the ultimate regime-change: the reordering of human society into Neoliberal utopia: Ayn Rand opulence for our masters, serfdom and slavery for the few selectively bred 99 Percenters they allow to survive. The following merely adds to the preponderance of evidence.)

Please Read These Next 3 Reports (Even If You Read Nothing Else Herein)My recommendations as the past week's most vital reports, chosen for how the events and trends define our overlords' intentions and therefore shape our world, the U.S. Empire and the probable doom both of our species and our planet.
America the BarbaricThe
gleeful USian embrace of barbarism is no accident. It is instead an
unprecedented national orgy of prideful self-fulfillment, its present
horrors mind-boggling, its potential horrors far in excess of those
inflicted on our species by Germany c. 1933-1945.
How the South Won the Civil War

As the ChristoNazi ideology of the Robbers' Court becomes ever-more
obvious, so does its ever-more-slippery slope toward theocratic
fulfillment of the Bible's innumerable examples of religiously motivated rape and divinely mandated genocide and mass murder including that children be stoned to death for disobeying their parents.
Ecocide: the Relentless ChristoNazi/Capitalist Assault on Our EnvironmentObviously our Capitalist overlords know Mother Nature always bats last. Just as obviously, that's why they're obstructing any effective action against Climate Change. They're depending instead on their wealth and mastery of technology to enable them to establish their Neoliberal (Neo-Confederate) dream-world even as the deteriorating environment kills off as many as 7.2 billion women, children and men -- 95 percent of the 99 Percent.
Imperial Warmongering for God, Profit and Sadistic Pleasure
In Vietnam, the Empire's methodology of global conquest was aptly summarized by the infantry officer who tried to mansplain the necessity of destroying BĂȘn Tre to save it for Capitalism and Christianity. Now -- having extermimnated whole nations to grant them such salvation -- the Empire is destroying the entire planet to save it for Jesus and his Wall Street puppetmasters.
