There is an intentional effort being routinely made to stress the world, and everything on it. Multi-various are the means that the power brokers of our attention field use to pollute, disrupt, and damage the environment in which we largely reside. A far out vulnerability is enhanced by lingering elements of misplaced trust, apathy, and naivety. We’re bugged and so is our home. The “smart” device, “smart” home, “smart” city, “smart” anything is a cryptic term for weaponized. So when we get burned, one can bet that there is a setup. It’s a setup.
Perfect storm elements of flash dry, flash fan, flash ignition, flash fire have again driven coastal residents right into the sea. Unprecedented once. Now it’s happened at least twice. These are battles in an overall attack. Attacked by an attacker with a hubris level that is stratospheric. A hubris only rivaled by the boldness of the attack exercises. It figures that this bold “I can do whatever I want” attitude and arrogance will be the main ingredients of the collective wake up that diffuses the powers of exploitation and abuse.

Evil won’t have its way once beings with a heart find theirs. In the enduring words of Robert Hunter, “There are things you can replace / And others you cannot / The time has come to weigh those things / This space is gettin’ hot / You know this space is gettin’ hot”
