Intuitional religions are fundamentally businesses mostly run by geezers in dresses.  The Inquisition history of the Catholic Church says it all and the Armageddon Baptist Big Bang is dufusville to the max.  A realistic future of these businesses is that evolution will simply select them out.  In no sense whatever (financial, moral, biological, etc.) are they paying their way, and that way lies extinction.  One wonders what the Hebrew Prophets (those beckons of justice) would have to say about the blood drenched fangs of the Israeli extremist right wing.

So, the vampire elites and religious fanatics (vs.) institutional religions and political officials?

No, nothing could be farther from the truth since it is the vampire elites and religious fanatics PLUS institutional religions and political officials. It's all the same convoluted moral/rational garbage.  The Pope is pap and Bill Clinton licks the boots of the Bilderberg Group.

So much for religion and politics.

OK, now time to shift gears and pretend I've got ESP (or something).

Where EXACTLY are we?  We're in hell and the big two traditional "roads out" (e.g., politics and religion) far from solving the problem, PERPETUATE the problem.

Hence, ultimate crossroads!  Such as?

Don't shoot me if I don't have articulate specifics (which I don't), but I do have that "sense of things" which can perhaps best be talked about by analogy. Let's say you're in a disgustingly dysfunctional family (sound familiar?) and you're taking the advice of a "minister" or maybe even a "consular" from school.

They say do this or that, but nothing seems to change.  And then you discover the minster is banging your mother and/or your Dad is debt to the consular.  Or whatever!  You get the idea.  The point is the advice givers are PART OF THE SYSTEM.  If you really "dealt with" the dysfunctional family, they too would be indirectly threatened.

That's religion and politics.  They don't want "radical change", because they too are PART OF THE SYSTEM.

So "radical change" comes from what?  Well, it sure as hell isn't politics or religion -- and never has been. Remember "Divine Right" and "Manifest Destiny" and fascist "survival of the fittest"?  All those presumptuous pontifications for limitless evil.

So, here's the deal.  This is less a specific statement of what has to happen, than a prediction that SOMETHING RADICAL MUST HAPPEN.

The brutal truth is that the human race is going down for the third time because of billionaires and religious psychos.  This is a fact.  This is a certainty.  Humans are accelerating toward oblivion.  Hey, it's not big deal.  Species go extinct probably in uncounted trillions (in our galaxy alone), but we didn't think it would happen to US -- at least not so quickly.

But so long as we live in a world with astronomically rich filth and murder in the name of God filth, we've got an albatross around our species neck that is annihilating human life and death ecosystems like flies.

The universe is already a very dangerous place.  We could be blasted with charged particles from a super nova any second.  In roughly four years, the sun of going to be at the peak of sun storm activity and it looks like this time they're going to substantial.  The last time we got a really big one (in the mid 19th century) it fried the telegraphs.  Imagine all the electronics a big one four years from now could fry (power outs come to mind).  And oh yes, one never knows if a black hole is sneaking up on us.  They’re all over the place and unless some nearby star (or whatever) gives its “invisible” location away, now you don’t see them and now you don’t see them – until our sun gets sucked away into oblivion.

Speaking of magnetic fields (and shields), the Earth may also be entering a period where the poles are shifting (we've already lost around 10% protection from cosmic rays), and if this continues, during the middle of the shift the Earth may be totally without protection for hundreds of years, which means a titanic amount of radiation will be blasting our planet and blowing away significant quantities of our atmosphere.
