OVERVIEW

There was a lot to review this week, but the nature of complex systems is becoming more complex. We have been at the ragged edge with a clear understanding that things are getting more chaotic, yet the corporate media continues to ignore reality. When will this fabricated reality collapse? And then what happens?

We attempt to track the complexity here. Finding the most significant elements is an exercise in understanding hyper-reality. Nothing is simple.

The American imperial collapse is gaining attention from a growing population segment. This widens the gap between the conversation in the corporate media and the population, which can no longer accept the pretense of normalcy.

No one knows how to close this gap. The segments of the population desperate to maintain the pretense of failing systems feel threatened by the segments of the population desperate to change and move on. Either way, the past disappears.

All of this forces me to change how The Flail is organized. The headings will be broader, and the content more diverse. Chaos is like that.
