Unfortunately, the projected destruction of the 'false picture' seems to have already begun for our culture. The collapse of the WTC towers on September 11, 2001 could not be a more telling expression of this. The bubble of capitalism is now in its final hours. And, tellingly, preceding 9/11 was the sorry display of the state of the US democracy - i.e. the 2000 presidential election in which people's votes did not determine the victor. (George W. Bush was declared winner by the pathetic 'ruling' of the Republican-dominated US Supreme Court which basically said 'well, there should probably be a recount or something... but, oops, we're out of time, sorry... guess the dumb one will be in the office, but it's not really our decision, don't blame the messenger'.)
I often wonder if the US handled the election properly and followed the true spirit of democracy, 9-11-01 would have been just another ordinary day, in a karmic sense. There is certainly a sense that the beginning of the new millennium was/is designed to be the 'final test' period for the New World. Passing would mean being allowed to move on to the next phase; and failing would mean being allowed to self-destruct. At this time, it appears that the protective mechanism that had been in place has gone offline for the United States.
It should be noted that, at least on a conceptual level, the US has lost the integrity of its main pillars: democracy, justice, and capitalism. What's more, American citizens are slowly but surely losing their freedom and individual rights - a direct consequence of the terrorist events (i.e. 'fear' activating the blind survival instinct). But people can at least put their faith in the higher power. Err... no, wait. Oops, we have learned recently that the the Church people, the self-proclaimed representatives of God, are little more than homosexual pedophiles!
The United States, the leading world power, is methodically being dismantled. Perhaps this is the unavoidable fate of a nation that has placed the pursuit of happiness above the pursuit of truth.

Some deep shit to ponder
Edit: just noticed the "homosexual pedophiles" thing and that pisses me off. I'll have to read further to see if this site is full of homophobes. He had me til that....
