Victor Davis Hanson: “A hard rain is soon going to fall abroad”

October 9, 2023

If you do not yet know about Victor Davis Hanson, he may be the wisest, most articulate and geopolitical scholar and elder on the planet. I’ve been aware of him, eagerly reading whatever I find from him, since 2019. Here’s some archived posts from exopermaculture.

Hanson weighs in on X (twitter).

His latest:

Israel, Our White-House Absurdities, and the Empire of Lies

Here’s how it concludes:

“A hard rain is soon going to fall abroad.

“And the United States better get its house in order, whether defined as standing with its few dependable allies left, securing its own oil and gas supplies, protecting its borders, un-woking and rebooting its suspect military, recalibrating its all too often incompetent and politicized intelligence bureaus—and thus preparing for a world turned upside down.”

 

Because yes, after its first 248 year run, death/rebirth Pluto turns, right on the degree it occupied when this nation was born, tomorrow.

HERE WE GO AGAIN: Boom goes the gun. Well done, son.

“Since the world is made up of individuals, there will always be competing ideas. Ideas which, down through the ages, have usually resulted in one thing: WAR.”

The above sentences, and their composition, which flew through and onto the page by a part of me I did not know existed, headed up my very emotional review of a book about American prisoners in the Korean War. That was back in 1956. I was 13 years old, in 9th grade.

The teacher accused me of plagiarism.

She was right. It wasn’t mine. It is ours.

 

Question: Is it possible to move into communion below our rational minds?

Response: Yes. Activate the right brain, linked to the open heart.

 

Make the logical left brain a servant to the right brain, open to the universe.

What flew through me that day we call “intuition,” and it strikes like a bolt of lightning, out of the blue.

 

Remember Rumi?

Yes, the world is simply “too full to talk about.”

And please, please, Ann, “Don’t go back to sleep” . . . as another incipient war breaks out, 5000 rockets destroying the so-called Iron Dome. Outrage shifts from the Ukraine/Russia/NATO/US debacle to Israel/Palestine/Iran/US debacle, in one swift distracting kick. With, as usual, already thousands dead, held hostage, and/or maimed. And huge profits to weapons manufacturers.

Yes. Here we go again.

Two (admittedly early) views of this latest war.

First, BioClandestine:

Kim Dotcom:

And, as always, the flickering fear of nuclear war hovers, like a thief in the night, just below conscious awareness. Source of infinite anxiety. Producing all manner of more or less terminal addictions that rob us of aliveness, destroy creativity, and keep us tensed, ducking for cover.
