Societal Power Play
By Helge Nome
The world wide COVID pandemic and the increasingly obvious effects of violent weather events are bringing home the power of governments to control people
The emergence of new, ever more virulent variants on the COVID front bring forth ever stronger government counter measures, like effective social isolation for those that refuse to be immunized.
States of emergency are routinely declared by governments in the face of violent weather events, as in the recent flooding event in southern British Columbia.
In tandem with these developments, mega corporations are using their social media platforms to rope people into their folds with the object of exploiting them to the fullest.
They try to create virtual worlds, where people spend most of their waking time being manipulated.
I believe this is a repeat of what has happened, possibly many times in the past; the silent reminders of which are the gigantic stone structures left behind by previous iterations of civilizations.

Moving towards an authoritarian society
Op Ed by Helge Nome
Across the world people are demonstrating over the loss of personal liberties in the face on an aggressive enemy called COVID that is continually morphing into a more deadly customer.
A major catastrophe caused by an "aerial river" hitting southern British Columbia, has prompted the government of that province to declare a state of emergency restricting the movement of people.
This is not unlike what happens when nations go to war against each other and people generally accept the more stringent rules.
So, what we can expect if natural (and unnatural) disasters continue to happen is increasingly authoritarian behaviours by government out of a perceived need for same.
