Last night I dreamt of the kings and queens, the power of royalty in a very abstract sense… All of the royal families of this part of the world seemed to be involved in a game of football (perhaps played on a chessboard??). Somehow, the game was being officiated by a Shakespearian scholar…. I was counseled not to leave the country because the economy was falling apart. All of the royalty feared the populist movements that was on the horizon…
This dream could be related to an article I read last night regarding the global economic dependence on oil. It stated that when oil supplies & production starts to flatline in a few years, transportation costs will skyrocket causing a fundamental shift in the way economies do business–suburban and countryside real estate will be devalued, and a new Great Depression will commence, accompanied by a new World War, with China the belligerent, as a new economy motivated to grow, and Europe, Japan and the United States as the “allies” motivated to defend their existing economic structure and interests. Russia would be the “wild card” sitting on the side with oil reserves of its own. Strange… Perhaps the world really will come to an end in 2012 as the Mayans predicted?
