 Part 3 of an occasional series.

As the man says, these are super scary times. I’m not sure at what point it happened, but some kind of collective insanity seems to have got a grip on a large percentage of the population of the western world. The most obvious cot case being the good old U S of A, which always tends to lead the stats when extreme events are in play. According to this now conventional madness, the USA (and by extension, the World) is being run by a cabal of Satan worshipping paedophiles that also enjoy a bit of human sacrifice on the side. Some schools of thought also include the notion that this cabal is not of human origin, but is comprised of reptilian aliens that can shape shift into human form. Take a moment to read that again. People actually believe that shit.

The inside skinny on this was provided (I say “was” because I’m not sure if the people who subscribe to this cult still care about him or not) by a ‘deep state’ insider going by the code name Q. Starting a few years back, and in the style of Wiki-leaks, he was drip feeding allegedly top secret files to followers via an obscure online chat application. Which immediately raises the question, if it was so earth shattering why use the most obscure platform possible to get it out to the public? But logic doesn’t feature in any of this so I’ll stop there before I even get started.

So his group of followers developed a quasi-religion (complete with shaman) that also incorporated, in no particular order, old testament fire and brimstone Christianity, UFO-ology, illuminati-style elitism, scientology, political conspiracy theory, international planned germ warfare and general xenophobia / racism. About the only people not included were the Masons for a change (but maybe they are a bit too mainstream for them). As we now know, this putrid granola of wild speculation and paranoia produced Qanon. The building blocks date back to the end of the Twentieth Century, but it took the appearance of the great orange Potus to catalyse it into a movement. If you try hard enough you can no doubt find references to Trump in the Book of Revelations and the prophecies of Nostradamus. I would be disappointed if there weren’t because it would suggest these theorists aren’t doing their job. Fueled by a constant stream of lies from the top, its devotees have grown in both number and fervour to the point that they felt motivated enough to overturn a democratic election.

The rest is, as they say, history.

As a wise person once said, it isn’t where you come from that worries me, it’s where you are going. And the future does not look good. It’s bit like trying to turn around the driver of a run-away truck when they are out of their minds on meth, and all you have to reason with them is a copy of the road code. If I put on my Nostradamus hat I would predict that America will sink into a second civil war at the start of 2025, with whoever wins then setting their sights on the rest of the world. Religious fervour is hard to stop, especially when it has its finger on the trigger of the largest nuclear arsenal the world has ever seen. The irony of the US preaching to the Middle East about the evils of nuclear weapons shouldn’t be lost on you at this point. Exactly who can’t be trusted?

Even if Trump choked on his Big Mac tomorrow it still wouldn’t change anything. The thing about mad conspiracies is that they morph to suit the times. If they believe JFK Jnr is about to make a comeback and the Queen is a reptile they will believe pretty much anything. And one in six Americans now believe this stuff. That’s about 55 million people in the US alone, or the same number of people as the population of England. All the futurists in the late Nineteenth Century never predicted that the world would be going insane early in the Twenty First. Weren’t we supposed to be living in an enlightened Utopia by now?

Anyway enough already – it really is too scary. Besides, there is only one alien cult worth listening to and that's us, right kids?
