If you get real quiet, and listen closely, you can hear it… tick, tick, tick, tick…
In July, I wrote the following in my article, An Egyptian Napoleon:
Revolutions are chancy things. You never quite know what you’re going to get when you start one.
We think of the American Revolution as having had only one possible outcome, but that is just not so. For instance, did you know that we came perilously close to a monarchy? That’s right, many of the founding fathers wanted George Washington to become a king. And, it was his for the taking, except for the fact that he abhorred the idea.

I just finished watching the first episode of the Glenn Beck program on GBTV. Since I am currently in Taipei, watching it live is impossible (I’m still sleeping at 5 a.m.), so I saw it on-demand from the GBTV website.
I am impressed.
It is good to see Glenn back on TV with content that we’ve come to expect from him, and more. It’s hard to know where he ends up from here, but I believe that he’s made an impressive start.

I’ve been a Little concerned over the fact that I’ve drifted a bit away from the initial purpose of this website. Not everything that I’ve been posting here has been Israel-centric, and it needs to be. There has also been an explosion of material – more than what one website can (or should) contain.
Thirdly, the threat level to you and the people that you care about has increased dramatically. We are in for an extremely EXTREMELY rough ride over the next two to five years, and we aren’t going to survive that ride unless we do something about it.

Okay, I blasted through Aftershock on Saturday. It took me about two liters of Coke to make it all the way through, but I made it.
Yes, it has a scary message because the impact on people that we care about will be catastrophic. The world will never be the same again. However, it does offer something of a silver lining, and you will do well to jump on that as if your life depends on it.
Because, as scary as the book is, when you add a resource crash and war to the future, the message turns quickly from merely scary to completely horrifying.

Living in Taipei is not for the faint of heart – especially in the Summer. The air quality chokes the lungs. The heat wrenches the sweat out of you. And, you can’t get good Hummus, Tahina, Falafel, Shwarma or pita anywhere unless you have Israeli friends willing to share. And yes, I could kill for a Shawarma Esh Tanur from Moshiko’s, right now.
But, I’m stuck in Taipei for the next few months, so I’ll have to keep a tight rein on my homicidal need for good Ochel Yerushalmi.
