Easter Island Metaphor


Letter from Bill Cain, September 1, 2005

Jean,

As someone who's been to Easter Island, I can attest to the ecological, social and political disaster that took place there several hundred years ago. It represents in microcosm what is currently taking place world wide. Unfortunately, I don't think much can be done to reverse the trend. Once a mindset fed by lies, fear and limited resources takes hold, nothing short of playing out the consequences and picking up the pieces after the ensuing carnage can be expected.

I'd like to believe all the optimistic predictions that you post to this list, but quite frankly, I don't see anything changing for the better. In fact, I see things getting worse. Crime after crime is committed by this administration with impunity, while the 435 spineless jellyfish who call themselves legislative "leaders" and who are in positions of authority to do something, remain silent. At the beginning of the year Matthew predicted that Bush would have his comeuppance by the summer. Now he says by the end of the year. The new-agers all say that we're currently transitioning from the third vibration to the fourth. Or is it the fourth to the fifth, and everything is about to change for the better. If we get beyond 2012, I guess we can put that to bed. The ET's steadfastly refuse to interfere with our "free will" even if it means, I guess, our self annihilation. And so it goes.

There were good people in Germany in the 1930's who understood what was happening there at the time, but were too afraid to do anything about it because of the political climate. Such a climate now exists in this country and there are good people again who are frozen in fear of ending up like JFK.

After the tribal wars ended on Easter Island, the few remaining residents eventually resorted to cannibalism, not only as a means of survival, but as an accepted ritual. Could that be the end result of where we are presently headed?

A very telling posting in the latest ERN newsletter. I note and concur with what Bill says about 'new agers' and ET's.....
