A Former Top US Spy Predicts Revolution, “Multiple Mass Catastrophes”

The founder of the Marine Corps Intelligence Activity and former CIA hand Robert David Steele is predicting Arab Spring-style revolutions in the US and UK, and that the 1% will be overthrown. He puts it this way in a must-read interview in The Guardian:
“I see five major overlapping threats on the immediate horizon,” he continues. “They are all related: the collapse of complex societies, the acceleration of the Earth’s demise with changes that used to take 10,000 years now taking three or less, predatory or shock capitalism and financial crime out of the City of London and Wall Street, and political corruption at scale, to include the west supporting 42 of 44 dictators. We are close to multiple mass catastrophes…”
“Revolution is overthrow – the complete reversal of the status quo ante. We are at the end of centuries of what Lionel Tiger calls ‘The Manufacture of Evil,’ in which merchant banks led by the City of London have conspired with captive governments to concentrate wealth and commoditise everything including humans. What revolution means in practical terms is that balance has been lost and the status quo ante is unsustainable. There are two ‘stops’ on greed to the nth degree: the first is the carrying capacity of Earth, and the second is human sensibility. We are now at a point where both stops are activating.”
Steele is clearly a radical, and the fact that he criticizes unrestrained corporate capitalism and includes income inequality and climate change in his list of catastrophic trends isn’t liable to sit well with those on the right end of the spectrum. Me, I agree with everything he says, except for the revolution part.
