Default End of the world

NO! this is not a new thread about a doomesday prophecy!

When you ask a person, what's comes in his or her mind, when they hear the meaning

" end of the world"

I tell you, everyone is thinking of huge earthquake, meteor, sickness a.s.o

But, there's otherways the world(infrastructor, cities etc) could under.

A totally collapse of the economy in the world, could be one of them and no one is thinking of that.

A total collapse of the economy is the end of economy as it was before it collapsed, it is not the end of the world...

I believe I heard the most likely reason for human beings as a race to go extinct right now is being infected and killed out by a new strand of virus of some sort. So, while not technically the end of the world, it would be the end of us.

Or at least most of us, I'm sure some lucky government officials would lock themselves up in an underground bunker somewhere.

Most virii do not have the capacity to wipe out the entire population, wlthough they could certainly thin it out a lot.

When people talk about the end of the world, usually they are just talking about the end of humanity.... like that would be a bad thing.

Population control comes to mind.
So does the Ebola virus and HIV.

And it was Douglas Adams who said: don't try to save the planet. The planet will survive. The question is, will it survive us

I'm not concerned with the end of the world. We each will have our own end of the world that is death.

If end of the world scenario is to happen during my lifetime I will probably be grateful to be able to witness it. Hey it's a big event.

What I am concerned with is the general demoralization of the world population. Not talking about strict morality but more about attitude and ideology towards living and being decent person.

More and more people( more even for the young) are becoming simply put selfish bastard idiot who worship their own ego and themselves. They will make the end of the world happen in their lifetime if their numbers keep increasing to majority of world's population. People now lie lightly, they deceive and are generally dishonest both in relationships and business. They are unashamed for the shameful and wrongful things they do and even proud of them. They are cruel, uncaring, ungrateful and rude towards other people. They live as if they know everything but in actuality they know nothing. They may even be religious but they honor mere rituals and people based on stature than honoring God and God's laws. They cheat on everything they do and proud of it. They take no advice and are disrespectful towards other people. They believe that right or wrong is relative and have no moral and religious principle. They blame other people for their own mistakes.

They are fools. Childish fools. Unpolished even rough people. Failing mankind I call them. A plague judging by their numbers. Trash that needs to be wiped out out of existence. Undeserving of time in this life and undeserving of other people time, friendship and affection. Undeveloped even regressed people. Predator of his fellow man. Mere animal in a human skin even worse than animal because they are mankind. A sad excuse for man's fallibility.

I am even convinced it's in their DNA not just a set of mind but a set of genes. A deteriorating mankind. Functional chaos. Defective. Defect.

Hmm not really just that in my observation younger generation is always worse than the older one. Specifically our politicians of today are a lot worse than their predecessors. Here the ruling party thus implicating the president, directly or indirectly is rumored to be involved in a local bank bailout which bailout money don't get to the hands of the people who lost it. The amount is significant.

Furthermore I knew and read that our last 2009 election is branded as the worst election post 1998 reform and people were just silent. Now more scandal is erupting that some of our house representatives are being so because they forged their letter of appointment.
Head of the national election governing body is implicated in it but it's not a surprise at all to me it was day one obvious that this person collaborated with the current ruling party.

There also has been rumor that the current ruling party treasury amounts to a very significant amount so significant that the source of that money comes into everybody's question.

Now our politicians are trading accusations for wanting to save themselves. One ran to Singapore to avoid prosecution from corruption and has been whistle blowing his party corruption as he was the current ruling party treasurer.

It's all being played damn bloody dirty and a it's a bloody mess.

If this had happened in Japan or US the head of government would've stepped down and even being put under criminal investigation for abuse of power.
To make matters worse these scandals in all likelihood won't be heading to prosecution. Our judiciary system falls under the grip of politics. The national police image has never been worse tarnished lately too for their corruption. The general population loath the police in general.

When I turned TV last night I saw the British Parliament session discussing the Murdoch phone hacking scandal. They in comparison to ours are a world apart

On the positive side at least we don't have an established dictator here. There are still some good men here and civil movements are well alive and our press I must say I'm proud of my country freedom of press.

When you understand the mentality of the so called 'world elite' aka 'the illuminati' all becomes clearer.They dont like us and are trying to do away with a good % of the world's population so that they can rule the earth over just a few of us instead of billions.Kissinger,Rockerfeller,Rothschild,world banking,world media,world police,world army,world health organization,etc etc,they are all scum that should be shot on sight!
NWO is almost upon us,the signs are everywhere right now.
A quick insight into their rotten but clever tactics: create the problem (ie famine),anticipate the reaction that those people will then display (they will likely demand the government to help them with their plight),the government or other body can then offer them the solution to the problem they created in the first place (which would be the formation of a global food/and or health org ruled by THEM.The blighted people would then be dependant on this org and they would have complete control and power over them.
The same thing happened during WWII.Hitler was likely (not 100% certain,but there IS material out there that could support this theory if you know where to look) financed by the Rockerfeller family,pitting both sides against each other,then when the ashes of war finally cleared they (and possibly others) then profitted from the outcome,the affected countries were naturally weary from the endless and costly war and demanded a solution to this crisis,and the EU (ruled by you know who,the NWO construction team) was then formed so that "this could never happen again" ,effectively maintaining control over those countries by centralizing power.
PROBLEM + REACTION = SOLUTION
In effect they are guiding us down a path that they alone know the direction of.THE COMPLETE AND UTTER CENTRALIZATION OF EVERYTHING,INCLUDING OUR VERY OWN LIVES!.Heck,we even keep each other in line,everyone is their own sheepdog.

Sorry for that,but someone's got to take the bull by the $£'s

I don't know about global conspiracy but I do know a thing or two about elitist mentality from my ordeal in Singapore.

I'm well aware that people who have been in power for too long and in control of vast amount of resources consider everybody else as simply nothing. They don't care whether you're innocent or simply student, they don't care about right or wrong or morality, they don't care about any law. They play God and this is no exaggeration. If they thought killing is fun then they would kill just for fun and there is nothing anybody else can do.

I keep an open mind and I've seen, known and experienced many things majority of people normally don't. So I believe when there's enough evidence from observation or somewhere else or from experience. I've learned I can trust my insight and observation as well as my intuition and they have been proven. And I can always trust God though God doesn't come into picture often. But mostly because people are not sophisticated in general. I mean in their goals and desires.
