the mystery unfolds above your heads as some will say the smoke will never clear and others see no smoke at all - social rage across the ancient sands spark the great conflict of our time both here and now and future hence - a nation staggers on a divided foundation the result of decades of manipulation and distraction moves again to quadrennial exploitation # these three crises are new for you to examine through debate and exchange - deny ignorance here so that others out there may see your wisdom and come to new understandings - solve the code - answer the question - unlock the forums
