A world at war with itself

It seems to me that we are now living in what may be the most volatile period in history. Many, if not most, of the nations of the world, are experiencing profound unemployment, inflation, poverty, drought, or some other phenomenon. 

The United States has served as a stabilizing element in the world, but now faces many problems of its own. Our people, I think, are tired of being policeman of the world despite the efforts of the military/industrial complex to promote perpetual war.

The banking cabal is relentless in their effort to establish a one world order. The International Monetary Fund is working to replace the dollar as the world reserve currency. Alliances with opposing agendas like BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and NATO only add to the instability.

At this time of turmoil and uncertainty, our nation has entered what may be the most segmented period of our history. We have a Congress that is resolutely divided on party lines as is our Supreme Court. We have a president who seems driven by some sort of communist/Muslim ideology.

What I find disturbing about what appears to be a race toward some kind of Armageddon is the absolute dearth of someone on the world stage with sufficient wisdom, bravery, vision and fortitude to lead the people of the world on a sane course.
