On January 3rd, I blogged on the subject of denial. It had little to do with the Great Monarch directly but more to do with the events leading up to his appearance. In that blog I mentioned the economic crisis that has begun in France, suggesting that the crisis would not be confined just to France.
Well the crisis is much broader in just three months but denial continues to hinder our ability to see it. One aspect of the crisis involves the ongoing pollution of the Gulf of Mexico and the impact on the Gulf Stream.
A second aspect involves the nuclear disaster in Japan which threatens the lives of every person living in Japan and the surrounding countries.
In denial we have turned our back on the continuing problems in the Gulf and soon the media will remove the Japan story from page one.
It is twenty five years since Chernobyl. Current estimates suggest that nearly one million people have already died as a result of the Chernobyl accident. Despite the Cherobyl warning, we continue to build nuclear reactors because they are good business for General Electric and TEPCO, and a handful of other companies that are major campaign contributors.
In twenty five more years, when we are looking at ten or one hundred million dead from the Fukushima accident, will we still be in denial that what is good for business is not necessarily good for people?
In our hearts we know that we are all going to be affected by the Fukushima accident, some more than others, yet there is no public outcry.
Japan has one of the largest economies in the world. At this moment the Japanese economy is badly broken. Before the year is out all economies are going to feel the effect of the destruction of Japan. Can we not see that? Is the denial so great?
The Japanese problem is not just about what color you can order a Toyota. Japan is a key economy. One cannot pull the plug on Japan without the interlocking economies feeling it. Japan has experienced a serious population decline for decades. In the light of the Fukushima situation it may not be an exaggeration to say that Japan may be finished as a "first world" nation.
Is this an opportunity for the people of Japan to find God? Prosperity seems to be inversely correlated with belief in God. As the economic disaster deepens in Japan, it is possible that more people will turn to God looking for answers. Or will denial reign?

"The Earth Will Suffer Because of these Open Wounds"
"People will drill wells deep into the ground and dig out gold...
and the earth will shed tears of sorrow...
The Earth will suffer because of theses open wounds."
These are quotes from a Serbian seer, the Oracle of Kremna.(1829 - 1899)
"Only after many a summer people...will realize how stupid it was to dig all these holes."
"People will do many stupid things, thinking that they know and can do everything, not knowing anything."
How long is it going to be before we realize the harm we are doing to our home, the earth, in places like the Gulf of Mexico?
How long before we realize that when the earth cries "tears of sorrow" we all suffer?
How long before technologies such as "fracking" are recognised as harmful to our home?
This warning from the Oracle of Kremna, an illiterate Serbian peasant, is being ignored with each passing day.
How unstable has the earth's crust become from the many holes drilled in search of hydocarbons?
How many wounds are there on the sea floor from which hydrocarbons are spewing, contaminating the ocean in every direction. The Oracle called it stupidity but is it something more sinister?
When the Impact occurs will the geophysical effects be greatly magnified because of the holes drilled deep into the earth's crust?
Business has harnessed science and technology for the benefit of the shareholder. Science has become slave to the profit motive. When will we realize that greedy men will be the cause of our destruction?
Imagine if more of the effort that has gone into the use of science for profit had gone into the pursuit of enlightenment for our better understanding of why we were created!
