Multiple Revolts

Because of the incredible financial changes on the world stage the U.S. (and other parts of the world) are dealing with multiple revolts. The first revolt is obvious. It is the voter revolt most typified by the "Tea Party movement in the U.S.  However, less obvious is the revolt of the rich and the revolt of corporations in the U.S. and around the world. And the third revolt is the revolt of the nation state at least as we have known it to be in the 20th century.

The actuality of all this is a lot like a skydiver having realized his basic parachute has failed and tangled and trying to release it so he doesn't crash into the ground before he opens his emergency chute. The problem is that all these variables are happening simaltaneously. And because of this there is nothing really stable to relate to or push off of to create any sense of normalcy for anyone.

The reality is for everyone, "ADAPT TO THE NEW VARIABLES INSTANTLY OR DIE". It doesn't matter whether one or all of us understand fully anymore what exactly is going on. Nothing like this has ever happened before because Globalization never existed before. We all either find a way to cope or we all individually won't be here anymore on earth.
