BE AFRAID BE VERY AFRAID. It is no longer possible for us to ignore. Over decades we have witnessed a clear and accelerating social, economic and environmental decline.

Stolen burnt-out cars, highly visible homelessness, youth violence, assaults on the elderly and widespread drug addiction are disturbingly routine. These were once rare but are now systemic.

At the same time, economic pressure is crushing ordinary people. Many struggle to afford food, let alone maintain housing or service mortgages.

Alongside this is a sharp rise in premature deaths. Heart attacks, strokes, turbo cancers are occurring at levels never previously seen.

Environmentally, the change is equally stark. Since the 1990s, clear blue skies and natural cloud formations have been replaced by persistent haze and artificial atmospheric activity.

This is consistent with documented weather modification practices, yet this remains largely excluded from mainstream discussion.

Yours was once a high-trust community with house doors and cars left unlocked, lost property returned and violence rare.

That social fabric is being deliberately dismantled. And this pattern is not local or national. Similar trajectories can be observed across much of the Western world.

When viewed together, social breakdown, economic stress, environmental manipulation, and rising mortality appear coordinated. They resemble population management rather than coincidence.

These trends align disturbingly well with long-articulated theories of managed decline and population reduction.

The most alarming element is not the decline itself, but how few dare to question it.

An additional and critical dimension of this decline is the deliberate fragmentation of community cohesion through engineered social division.

Historically, stable societies are unified by shared material interests, mutual dependence and common cultural reference points.

When these bonds are intact, communities are resilient and resistant to external control. Their systematic dismantling is therefore not accidental, but strategic.

Over recent decades, identity markers such as race, religion, political affiliation, gender, and sexual identity have been increasingly weaponized.

They serve as primary lenses through which individuals are encouraged to interpret both themselves and others.

Rather than functioning as personal or cultural characteristics, these categories are elevated into oppositional frameworks. The result is perpetual social tension, where neighbors are reclassified as ideological threats rather than fellow citizens.

Racial narratives are carefully curated to promote grievance and suspicion. Economic and institutional forces, not ethnic differences, are the primary drivers of inequality.

Religious differences are amplified or caricatured, transforming belief systems that once coexisted into sources of moral panic or hostility.

Political discourse has been reduced to personal allegiance. These ensure that citizens direct their frustration laterally toward each other rather than vertically toward the structures that govern them.

More recently, debates surrounding gender and sexual identity have been aggressively politicized.

Complex biological, psychological and social questions are reframed as absolutist moral battlegrounds, where dissent is pathologized and dialogue is suppressed.

This creates an environment where fear of social or professional sanction replaces open discussion. This leads to isolation. It further erodes trust and shared reality.

The cumulative effect is a population that is internally divided and externally managed.

RIGHT. The lost paradise. Click the picture to discover Nirvana.

Fragmented communities lack the cohesion required to organize, resist or even clearly identify the sources of their decline.

Social energy is expended on symbolic conflicts. Meanwhile, structural forces, economic consolidation, and surveillance expansion operate largely uncontested. Environmental manipulation and biopolitical control also go mostly unchallenged.

In this context, division is not a byproduct of societal stress; it is a tool of governance. A divided population is easier to predict. It is easier to pacify. Ultimately, it is easier to manage during periods of accelerated systemic transformation.
