The seven signs of the apocalypse, as elaborated upon in the Book of Revelations in the Bible, includes the arrival of the Antichrist, war, famine, plague, judgment, chaos, and silence or rebirth. The first four symbols are generally depicted by the symbol of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, which represent the opening stages of the apocalypse.
The first sign of the apocalypse heralds the coming of what is agreed by most Christian scholars as an Antichrist whose purpose is to lead the world astray. Those tricked to follow the false prophecy are trapped in a cycle of suffering. The antichrist is generally regarded as a figure who unites the world under one government. The first sign is also known as the first horseman.
The second sign is represented by the onset of war and violence, though the scale and time of which differ depending on what view a particular expert holds on the apocalypse.
The second sign is also called the second horsemen
The third and fourth signs depict the onset of natural disasters in the form of large-scale famine and death, considered to signify a global pandemic that is either caused by or occurs in conjunction to the war that the second sign brings.
The third and fourth signs are often also called third and fourth horsemen.
The fifth sign of the apocalypse is largely symbolic in nature as it refers to martyrs of the Christian faith who cry out to God for judgement on those who have slain them.
The sixth and seventh signs of the apocalypse typically depict an image of a great earthquake that ends the world before a final judgement or final end is let loose from heaven by God.

Here’s what experts are saying
[T]he American people have taken a look at what this administration’s done. They’re running banks, insurance companies, car companies. They nationalized the student loan business…. They’ve taken over health care. They’re about to do to financial services what they did to health care. Their appointees over at the FCC are trying to take over the Internet.
You see that?
The antichrists’ is consolidating his power to bring the entire world to its final climactic end, all under the guise of a government cram down of, oh, just about everything. And the only people who can stop them, who even seem to notice!, as I said, are – not including the telecom industry, all the media conglomerates, the entire financial services sector, the health insurance industry, the pharmaceutical industry and oh, pretty much every other multi-billion dollar private corporation in the world that have no power outside of being able to spend as much as they want advertising against him and fomenting this revolution – are the brave grassroots patriots of the Tea Party. Lot of people are finally waking up — listen to Rand Paul – is saying, especially toward and about Fauci. – Bing video
Isn’t it time we take back this country and stop it from what Obama is taking it to?

2020 Felt Like An Apocalypse Because It Is The Start of One.
By Carol Kuruvilla
The trials of 2020 are an apocalypse in the original sense of the word, some religious scholars say, because they reveal deep truths about society headshot. Giovanni Bazzana, a professor of New Testament at Harvard Divinity School, has been studying the apocalypse for years. He’s taught classes about the subject and has scoured through many ancient texts. That’s why, when Bazzana reflects on the natural disasters and social upheaval that have upended American life in 2020, he feels comfortable giving it a label.
The apocalypse is here, Bazzana insists. In fact, he believes it’s “always with us.”
Bazzana isn’t talking about monstrous beasts emerging from the sea or horsemen descending from a cosmic stage to wreak havoc on the earth. The trials of 2020 are an apocalypse in the original sense of the Greek word, he claims: a revelation or uncovering. This year has revealed truths about American society that can’t be ignored or swept under the rug, Bazzana suggested ― whether it’s inequality in health care, racial injustice or the ineptitude of the government.
“It’s important to remember that apocalypse means revelation; it’s the moment that reveals something about one individual’s life or about society in general,” he said. “I think this is really a moment of big revelations, not revelations in terms of visions or prophecies, but revelations in the sense of seeing the truth of things.” The events of 2020 have primed many Americans to think about the apocalypse. Google searches for the word apocalypse spiked in late March in the U.S. as states began to impose coronavirus-related shutdowns.
The months that followed provided plenty of fodder for apocalyptic thinking: a pandemic that has upended daily life, wildfires raging on the West Coast, widespread protests, a divisive presidential election in which the incumbent has yet to fully commit to a peaceful transition of power. News stories about “murder hornets” or speculation about signs of life on Venus are now mere boxes to be crossed off on imagined 2020 bingo cards.
Against this backdrop, Americans’ private, personal traumas feel even heavier, contributing to a sense that anything is possible ― and that the worst is yet to come. The apocalyptic imagination often awakens in periods just like this, when societies experience upheaval and uncertainty. Many scholars believe the Bible’s Book of Revelation ― possibly the most culturally influential story of the apocalypse for Americans ― was originally written as resistance literature.
Attributed to a man named John living at the end of the first century, the book contains vivid visions of a cosmic war between the forces of good and evil. It prophesies a future in which God will judge the nations, punish evildoers, avenge his people, and establish a just new world. The book was the coded yet defiant response of an exiled community to the Roman Empire’s oppression of Jewish people and destruction of Jerusalem, scholars say.
“Very often, these texts are written by people experiencing oppression from some power that is becoming too invasive or strongly persecuting them,” Bazzana said. Apocalyptic thinking can be found in the religious texts of all three Abrahamic faiths, as well as in the cycles of destruction and reconstitution that appear in Buddhist and some other religious traditions.
Secular visions of the apocalypse exist as well, according to Anna Maria Bounds, a sociologist at Queens College, City University of New York, who has written a book about the city’s Doomsday preppers.
In these modern-day apocalypses, divine agency is less prominent and humans become the agents of their own destruction or salvation. These secular narratives tap into fears that people have about the fragility of modern life, Bounds said ― fears about the collapse of the government or the economy, the failure of technology, the threat of terrorist attacks or the effects of climate change. “There’s a sense of loss of control, an increased sense of anxiety about all sorts of things,” Bounds said. “From the pandemic, to the wildfires, to the economic instability, to concerns about the upcoming election. All sorts of things.”
Popular visions of the apocalypse often deal with world-altering, cataclysmic global events. But an apocalypse can also happen to a group of people. The arrival of Europeans in North America was an apocalypse for Native Americans, Bazzana said, as was the experience of slavery for African Americans. Apocalyptic narratives can encourage cultural forms of resistance that demonstrate resilience in the face of great adversity.
Bazzana said the Ghost Dance, a late 19th century Native American spiritual movement that imagined an end to westward expansion, was one such resistance movement, as is some of the apocalyptic speculative fiction written by Native and African American writers today. For some groups, the apocalypse is a way to grapple with a perceived threat to the status quo. An apocalyptic imagination is prevalent in some facets of white evangelicals’ support for President Donald Trump today.
The religious group, used to wielding unquestioned cultural influence, is now contending with a rapidly diversifying country. Apocalyptic thinking also underpins the far-right, pro-Trump conspiracy theory QAnon. Ideas about the apocalypse persist throughout the centuries because they are a way for humans to grapple with their anxiety about change, Bazzana said. “I think humans need mechanisms to cope with that change,” he said.
“To prepare oneself for change or to face change when it happens.”
The art and activism ― even some of the dark humor ― that arises from apocalyptic thinking is a way for people to regain a sense of control over what seems like an impossible situation, Bounds suggested. It helps people imagine what survival would look like and what they would want to bring with them into a new, post-apocalyptic world. “It’s about us thinking about how we can participate in the creative and more positive rebirth of the world,” she said. “It makes you turn inward and it makes you take a productive look at yourself and figure out the world’s kind of crazy — what can I do to anchor myself and what can I do to make a good contribution to the world?”
Catherine Keller, a constructive theologian at the Theological School of Drew University, has been interested in the apocalypse since the 1980s, when she started seeing Christian apocalyptic fundamentalism work its way into the Republican Party. But more recently, she’s become concerned with secular apocalypticism about climate change becoming imbued with nihilism ― as if it’s too late to make any positive changes.
Whether it’s based in religious belief or not, thinking about the apocalypse as a final end to the world can be a “dangerous simplification,” Keller said, since it diminishes humans’ agency to impact the course of history. 2020 has been an “apocalyptically charged time” ― and that can be a good thing if it means that “we’re having our eyes opened,” Keller said.
The emergence of apocalyptic thinking today is a “deep, ancient warning” that something about the way power flows in society needs to change. “The apocalypse that we’re in now, if we read apocalypse faithfully, not as an end of the world but as a radical and painful opening, there is a chance, I suspect a big last chance, to really turn our world around.”

A Cornerstone of Democrats’ Agenda Is Suddenly in Deep Trouble
By Jim Newell

You haven’t seen anything yet. It’s not even started yet. Follow me plus everyone else…

Totalitarian Globalism isn’t coming soon. It’s here. do not conform.
Democrats had a neat plan for their health care agenda. As part of the $3.5 trillion spending bill they’re putting together as I type, they would finally, after years and years of pledges to do so, pass legislation to cut the costs of prescription drugs. This would have two wonderful benefits for the Democrats. First, the obvious: They would fulfill a campaign promise to cut the costs of prescription drugs.
Fulfilling popular promises is good! Second, the Medicare drug negotiations—price negotiations between the government and pharmaceutical companies— would save the government hundreds of billions of dollars that Democrats could then use to pay for the rest of their health agenda: covering new services under Medicare, bringing the ACA’s Medicaid expansion to all 50 states, and making permanent the improvements Democrats made to Obamacare’s insurance exchanges in their COVID relief bill earlier this year.
Again, a neat plan on paper. In terms of actually shepherding this idea through Congress, though, there was always one problem that tended to be overlooked: Doing this would require punching the pharmaceutical industry, and its powerful lobby, squarely in the jaw. There’s a big reason such a popular idea—let the government negotiate drug prices!—hadn’t happened already, namely that the pharmaceutical sector wouldn’t take kindly to the threat of losing $500 billion. And now, they haven’t. Which means that, even in the early stages of Democrats in Congress trying to cobble together the Build Back Better Act, the plan is in deep trouble.
This week, the Energy and Commerce Committee met to discuss drug pricing. The legislation that House Democrats wanted to pass has an aggressive mechanism for making sure drug manufacturers complied with negotiated prices. And if they didn’t, the government would slap the companies with an escalating tax that would ultimately reach 95 percent of sales. The criticism from pharmaceutical companies, then, was that this wasn’t much of a negotiation at all, but instead the government setting rates at gunpoint. They further explained, as they often do, that these funds would severely hamper pharmaceutical innovation.
Their lobbying efforts got somewhere. Three moderate members of the committee—California Rep. Scott Peters, Oregon Rep. Kurt Schrader, and New York Rep. Kathleen Rice—announced that even though they had voted for this idea in 2019, they had since changed their minds, and now had grave concerns about pharmaceutical innovation. (It is also worth noting that Peters, in particular, has accumulated sizable donations from the pharmaceutical industry this year.)
The three members held strong, and all three voted against the drug-pricing proposal in a Wednesday committee vote. That was just enough to create a tie, and the drug-pricing plan failed to advance. PhRMA, the pharmaceutical lobby, crowed in a statement afterward that “the House markups on health care demonstrate there are real concerns with Speaker Pelosi’s extreme drug pricing plan and those concerns are shared by thoughtful lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.” (And themselves, they left out.)
Just because the drug plan couldn’t get out of that committee on Wednesday doesn’t technically mean it’s dead. The Ways and Means Committee, which also has health care jurisdiction, also considered drug-pricing on Wednesday and passed its slice of things. And the House Rules Committee, the last stop for legislation before it reaches the floor for a vote and an effective extension of the Speaker’s power, could always vote to add the provision later on.
“Polling consistently shows immense bipartisan support for Democrats’ drug price negotiation legislation, including overwhelming majorities of Republicans and independents who are fed up with Big Pharma charging Americans so much more than they charge for the same medicines overseas,” Henry Connelly, a Pelosi spokesman, said Wednesday after the committee vote. “Delivering lower drug costs is a top priority of the American people and will remain a cornerstone of the Build Back Better Act as work continues between the House, Senate and White House on the final bill.”
The broader problem, though, is that the drug-pricing plan simply may not have the votes to make it into law. Democrats can only afford to lose three votes on the Build Back Better Act when it reaches the House floor—they can’t lose any in the Senate—and this provision lost three votes in just one committee. There will likely be some drug-price negotiation provision in the final package. But the less aggressive it is, the less it will reduce the cost of prescription drugs, and the less cash Democrats will have freed up to cover the remainder of their agenda. And as long as moderates are demanding the whole package be paid for, that’s a problem.
This is the most alarming episode in a week where the swamp has begun to disrupt Democrats’ best-laid plans. House Democrats on the Ways and Means Committee could not find a way, in their menu of tax increase options, to eliminate a loophole that gives private equity and hedge fund managers a fat tax break, and which President Obama, Trump, and Biden have all called to get rid of. That committee also dropped Biden’s plan to tax unrealized capital gains at death. Democrats’ vision for the most ambitious remaking of the social contract since the Great Society remains largely intact, for now. But the process is starting to smell.
