The reason why

First off, read Lincoln. The last few entries should be enough.

This is one of the reasons I am so morose at the moment.

My gifts are such that I know what he journals there is true. I know it. As I write in my prologue, I am able to process very complex systems in real time. The status of the universe is not outside my understanding. But it is sufficiently complex that the understanding itself is without merit — I can’t even begin to explain it before it has mutated into something significantly different.

Likewise with this. I can see the manipulations, I can see the corruption, the machinations. Intimately. But I can’t begin to fathom how to respond.

My intelligence is martial, and marshal. My strategic senses tell me to prepare for “civil unrest” – to horde up ammunition, and prepare reinforced bunkers for personal/familial defense.

I can see it coming. I know what is ahead. What must come. And I have an instinct to prepare.

But as my understanding is complete, I also recognize that such preparations are foolish. End is inevitable along that path. So I must choose a new path. A different path. This is my delima.

Then read the papers at http://www.newamericancentury.org. Note the signers of the documents…

I can respond in kind. This scope is not outside my arena for effect. Carefully placed actions can have a certain direct result. Additional tertiary actions can have a multiplying effect. It could realistically make a difference. However, that would make me little better than they who I combat. So that choice is really no choice.

So, what to do. What to do.
