Pray for Japan. A large earthquake has occurred, various reports from 8.4
all the way to 8.8 magnitude. I have been watching live coverage from Wellington,
New Zealand. The Tsunamis look, at this stage to be the worst part. The water
keeps on flowing inland moving cars and even good size ships like toys in
a bathtub. A large uncontrolled fire is going at an oil refinery. Some of
the oil storage tanks look as crumpled as aluminum foil.
There is talk that the tsunami waves might reach Australia, Hawaii, New Zealand,
Mexico, Central and South America. No one know how bad they might be when
and if they make it that far. Wellington, in this case, is on the opposite
side of the North island of New Zealand and should not be affected.
Pray for the people of Japan.
Earthquakes in New Zealand, one in China earlier today, the one in Japan.
Social turmoil due to factors too numerous to go into right now starting
to manifest themselves in various societies across the globe. The feeling
builds as it has been for many years. Things are coming to a head, I sort
of think this is how some people felt in the late 1930s a short time before
evil erupted from its simmering pot, a pot that was well stirred, well prepared
and then boiled over.
If you would like to read some well regarded literature that covers aspects
of what is going on now, it would not hurt to start with:
The Revolt of the Masses by Jose Ortega y Gasset.
Go to
this link and search on Ortega and you will find the link to download
this resource for free as well as a bunch of other interesting works.
