A very interesting, and sobering 30k' view. My ONLY critical comment goes to JHK's synopsis of the Israel/Palestine portion of the forecast, which IMO is far too simplistic and which fails to impose the same standards of morality, natural law, and obvious common sense that infuse the rest of his treatise. It's like for JHK Israel should get 'a pass' and be allowed to continue to operate in the US taxpayer dollar paradise it's been living in for the last 70 years, with no changes (because obviously 'it's perfect as it is'). However, as the single most aggressive, destabilizing and destructive country in the ME, that just isn't a status Israel deserves by any metric other than per Zionist absolutism, and as a result Israel should be forced to stop relying on legalized US technology theft, outright American monetary, military AND armaments handouts, as well as almost total control of the US Congress and the sympathies of (apparently) the entire incoming executive branch. I'm just saying that while we're dreaming, and imposing accountability on ourselves, lets not forget about the 'elephants in the room' just because we're aligned with them at a personal level. It's hypocrisies (double-standards) like that which can undermine the moral authority of any enterprise or massive change that is being projected to occur under Trump 2.0 and the unhappy realities created by our collective can-kicking down the road for the last forty years at least. Let's do this differently, and not allow favored pets like Israel to remain exempt from the rules of civilization, and free of accountability for it's actions when everybody else is being held to account for the west's collective sins resulting from many generations of moral bankruptcy, and greed just because it's convenient to what has been America's project of empire building since the end of WWII.
