The world is sinking deeper into all-consuming wars. Good news seems to be nowhere in sight. Missile exchanges between Iran and Israel have continued into their 5th day and neither side seems inclined to back down.

[Originally published at I-System TrendCompass] Something about the war between Israel and Iran doesn’t seem to add up.

We discussed the general state of things in the world, but toward the end of our session we addressed some questions from viewers, and one of them asked about the periodic mega-transition cycles of human societies, whether we are experiencing one now, and where things go from here.

Donald Trump has been the President of the United States for 126 days now, and so far, it's been a mixed bag of goods. However, I find that he is probably being judged too harshly, especially by some of his supporters. The attitude among them reminds me of a few people I know when they watch their home football teams play.

[Originally published in I-System TrendCompass] Over the last few years I'm noticing that the grocery stores where I buy my food are less and less supplied with certain foods, particularly organic meat and periodically milk and eggs.

[Originally published at I-System TrendCompass] Russia’s military victory over Ukraine has been a near-certainty for months now. Ukraine’s total defeat is only a matter of time, but as that time approaches, European powers have been increasingly determined not to let the war die and are now actively preparing to take it up where Ukraine stumbles.
