The Five Vital Realities:

Water Wars = Climate change's war with water and its disappearance, the war over privatization of water, and water as a tool of bloody war.

Nuclear Devastation = Political leaders expanding the threat of final war through build up of nuclear arsenals, destruction of nuclear treaties, and technology's vulnerabilities making nuclear war more possible.

Endless War = America's decades of conniving to maintain the Military-Industrial Complex and regional war as a racket, dissolving the nation's psyche for the profit of a few.

Economic Revolution = The decade of cancerous revolution which has been happening to you whether you realize it or not. Wall Street's wolves conning the entire economy; subprime loans (homes, cars, student loans, credit cards, small business loans), and credit leading to the deepest global public and private debt in history. Also, creditor nations abusing debtor nations with austerity demands, costing people's lives and countries' natural resources.

Surveillance Versus Freedom = The continuum of government-corporate efforts to stifle sustainable economic revolution and our individual liberties, and our press-and-public pushback.
