Internet: The Messenger of the 'Apocalypse'-- On How An Apocalypse May Actually Be GOOD NEWSsteemCreated with Sketch.

So THIS Is What an 'Apocalypse' Looks Like?

 



Apocalypse 


ORIGIN Old English , via Old French and ecclesiastical Latin from Greek apokalupsis, from apokaluptein ‘uncover, reveal,’ from apo- ‘un-’ + kaluptein ‘to cover.’ 

--------
The word 'apocalypse' is often used in common dialogue to describe an end-of-the-world type scenario, while it's actual definition simply means to reveal, or uncover. The true definition gives true meaning, so with this less-fearful glimpse, an 'apocalypse' can be explored by the daring, who might ask upon entering; 'apocalypse' means to reveal and uncover what exactly? 


 Certain Doom, For a Certain Few

This quick presentation is another way to look at the apocalypse-- a less gloomy view, as it's possible that since today's national news is curiously filled with stories of public deceit, these telling current events could represent an uncovering of truths that have been hidden for years, or lying in plain sight for even longer. The things being revealed now could suggest that the great apocalypse is already happening. 

 Considering all of the things going on in the world now at nearly the end of 2016, it's beginning to look like the end for some. Focusing on the fascinating USA, let's look at some of the doomed, and the apocalyptic implications of what's being revealed here. 

 The National TV News: "We're Doomed"

 For many years in the USA, it had been safe to presume, and to even declare, that "If it's not on TV, it didn't happen." Such was the power of the television set, it was the trusted source of information for a few generations of earthlings who had access to one, and for many years it was the only place to really get the news. That trust ended for a lot of people in 2016, suggesting the beginnings of a 'Great Revealing'.


'to reveal'-- a recent example 


It has been said that there are only six media companies controlling information in the US, and in the Summer of 2016, an extremely large group of young Americans all across the USA were extremely excited about something, but watched in dismay as all six of the big media outlets refused to broadcast their consistently massive crowds and record attendances to their political rallies; this large mass of people were the Bernie Sanders supporters. Like a one-man Beatle, Bernie Sanders had caused a tremendous scene across the country, and it was declared by some that his supporter's enthusiasm and such phenomenal support for a US presidential candidate was rarely seen. 

Berniemania 2016 Tour- not televised


 As their excitement naturally spread on the internet and in real life, Bernie supporters became increasingly upset, as a group, that they were getting little mainstream media attention. Despite the record-breaking fund raising and crowd-making that Sanders had generated so organically, they all watched as the old TV lied by omission, and they noticed. 

They weren't on TV, so they didn't happen, but they saw the truth-- it was revealed for them all.

 After the various overt tactics used to marginalize the burn on that presidential candidate, it didn't take long before the lies and deceit were the news, as both of the main selected presidential candidates uncovered the many uttered lies, and their revealing stories were dominating the cycle on TV. Then...


Too Much Politics Happened

 With all of the tears and turmoil produced by the selection of Donald Trump as President-elect of the US, it could be tempting to consider the whole US national voting system to be outdated, inadequate and even disastrous. Nothing new there, but the notion was reaching whole new audiences-- that the old system was perhaps flawed in some ways, and that both 'political parties' were beginning to look increasingly creepy in the eyes of the innocent young world. They had seen enough of the dark side.

What a spectacular demise. It was as if finally both of the leading political parties had shown themselves to be nothing but parasites on society's neck-- ambassadors between pharmaceutical companies and their unwitting patients, or perhaps middle-men between weapons dealers and their inevitable victims and families. During the gruesome national election some ugly secrets were presented to the public, and were spontaneously revealed and uncovered. It was apocalyptic. 


 
President Elect Trump; Now Hiring -- Bankers and Oil-Men? 


Some may say that president-elect Trump's choices for his upcoming cabinet are a travesty, but in apocalyptic terms, it looks more like transparency, as concepts of this clearly corrupted government and it's insatiable industrial influence are revealed to more and more people. Look! 

Bombshell...


It turns out, the USA is already owned by bankers, weapons manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and energy giants. The great revealing looks like doomsday to anybody who's cognitive dissonance had not allowed them to notice this before. Americans who'd never thought about such things, are being forced to think about such things during the apocalypse. 

 
Internet: Messenger of the Apocalypse 


The great revealing, or uncovering, may be primarily because of the internet. Anyone who is paid to try and control the flow of information today may realize that this actually is the end of their world. The internet is being used to expose and uncover so much damning information on so many once-respected institutions, that many people, all at once, are seeing what is going on. 

 
Pizzagate 


If the internet is indeed the apocalypse, and if the internet can help to uncover, and reveal, what the 'Pizzagate' story is all about, then the apocalypse should be welcomed even more. When the details concerning the Pizzagate story are exposed, then the end of the world will likely be due for some high-ranking individuals in the public's eyes. If any of it is true, then the apocalypse is doing it's thing, and is just getting started. 



 Censorship On Internet Begins 


Looking at the news again, it can be seen that the beginning of outright censorship on the internet is coinciding with the death of mainstream media as a news source. The internet is extremely bad for their business, revealing the false narratives and deception of the old broadcasts. Talk begins of banning certain websites, Utube channels, and censoring topics on social media sites. It is being reported now, on the internet.


NOW SHOWING: The Apocalypse

 It's on TV, for a limited time; view the anchors and hosts and their desperate realization that they have become obsolete, and outgrown by humanity. The worldwide web is saving the world, but it's not an artificial intelligence, it is us, every person on the planet, finally seeing what is going on, and finally seeing that their government has been just a public relations department for some faraway industrial giants. Finally seeing that the world they had known is coming to an end. Each of us gets to see what has been going on in the world.

Tin Foil In High Demand

The conspiracy theorists who have been watching this apocalypse unfold are finding themselves in the company of masses who can suddenly 'see', and they are no longer lonely kooks speaking conspiracy sci-fi-- they were more correct than most had imagined.

 
Maybe It's OUR Time 


Even though the apocalypse has just begun, it is certainly time to begin, as humans, to ask some questions about how we are going to proceed as the paradigms of deceit collapse around us. What else is to be revealed?
 Are there alternatives to alternative energy?  
Is the world really overpopulated, or just grossly mis-managed?
Will we insist, planetarily, that this is really how we do things around here?
Aren't we the ones who have always helped each other when things got rough before?

Are we remembering our human nature, and forgetting the human conditioning? 


This apocalypse is very revealing so far, and is uncovering things that matter. The internet, messenger of the apocalypse, is being targeted now by the doomed, while the humans of Earth can now see a way to improve, and new solutions will be organically revealed as information is uncovered. Even the true meaning of 'apocalypse' is being revealed, and it isn't what we were told it would be.

 
Please stay tuned.

Love, love, LOVE your post!

My eyes are open and my coming here to steemit is exactly how I intend to foster the opening of others' eyes, if they're ready.

Thanks for the reply, I'm glad you liked it.
I have to presume that they won't be ready for eye opening, but ready or not, here I come!

Yes it's happening now and like Pandoras box, it will not close again.

Like toothpaste, once released, can never be returned to it's tube.

Wow now that was deep.

Hehe-- I think I got that from an old MAD Magazine parody of a giant toothpaste monster, "...once released, could never be returned from whence it came!"

Excellent, this is it right here. Something that came to me. I remember when I was young it always bothered me that at the back of the Bible, right after Revelation there are empty pages. It seemed significant, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Until now. They call the Bible script-ure and say the apocalypse occurs during the revelation. So, my conclusion- those blank pages? Are for those to whom it's been revealed, -It's time to write our own script. The old one has come (or at least is coming) to an end.

Interesting-- I'm going to have to dust off the old Bible I have, see if it has blank pages, or if I can make out the faint outlines of a 'http/.www...' appearing there.

Here's your http//www: "Behold he is coming with the clouds" in revelation. A stretch? Maybe, but it's quite an interesting word choice for the internet considering. They can play by their script, I have my own to create :) Oh and of course there is that trump that will sound, I've been getting a kick out of that for some time.

Nice catch-- the language keeps giving clues, so it's no stretch, it's correspondence.
And that a 'reveal-ation' happens at the same time as our apocalypse. There are personal revelations and world revelations-- this looks like the world's big reveal.
Something else I've started watching, John Kerry was in Antarctica ON election day, then astronaut Buzz Aldrin made news going there recently and then posting a cryptic tweet about "evil", what might be getting uncovered and revealed there? http://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/734186/snow-pyramid-Antarctic-human-history-discovery

We were just talking about that last night :) Always riding the same wave my friend

You might be in bed, but I forgot to mention that I came across the journal entry that happened to be the day The Playground Series was born, so I polished and posted it. Of course you might have seen it, but you did tell me to let you know ;) I'd completely forgotten that I had written about it in my journal, it was a nice flashback.

The activity here at steemit has dropped significantly, but I have a great tip for you... https://www.yours.org/ My husband discovered it, he's been keeping his eye out for new sites like this one and I've already put myself on their early emailing list. Of course things here could pick back up again, but it's good to have other avenues. And this new one is based on bitcoin, rather than a new form of alt crypto so it's very possible that this place is the myspace and yours.org will be the facebook. This place is a great experience regardless of what happens, and we'll have plenty of material to bring to a new place if need be :)

Interesting for sure, I'll have to look at that-- thx
I don't keep up with the activity as much as I should probably, didn't know about decline

Well the hardfork changed the amount people get for curation, steempower is worth a great deal less than it was before so people have less incentive to be out there voting. That's a part of it anyway. I don't know the whole scope.

Ok that does have a pattern- before the forking some of my posts were getting over a hundred up-votes, bots or not, now not near as many-- I thought it was me, getting worse!

Nope, it's not you. I've been trying to convey that message to the extremely frustrated noname haha. He thinks it's a conspiracy against him ;) But no, it is the result of the changes that were made. Bad changes for monetary purposes, though it's funny because now my upvotes are much closer to my views, this past post it was within three.

I'd been averting my eyes from the view counter since it was installed.
Also I've noticed that I rarely look at the 'Trending' page anymore, when I do, I upvote the Curie post that's always there, and scroll past the sports and finance posts for a minute. The 'New' posts are much better, but the gamblers have discovered the place now, we will see...

I read a post this morning that explained the voting system really well in the comments, the post was by @generation.easy and the informative comment-er @sigmajin. I wondered why I would vote on certain posts and they would shoot up and others wouldn't register, now I know. It's okay though, my main reason for this is simply that I love to write. And actually the reduced money for curation could end up being a good thing if the objective is for the current whales to dump their steem and get out. It could eliminate a number of people who are strictly here for profit without adding value, and maybe the favoritism would drop away some. We'll have to see :)
