2000 before Christ.

The rest of the world will never know.
1st century after Christ.

The rest of the world will never know.
2016 after Christ.
Roland writes about his frustration. Readers of the IF blog read his words. They feel that he is writing what they think, inform others who are like-minded. Among them is the author of a mass paper who titles it “Apocalypse Now”. A foreign journalist who is actually glad that, for a change, the Germans at long last also are poorly off, tells it to his compatriots who immediately become even worse off. The world of media is suddenly flooded with a competition of “who-is-worst-off”, because only bad news is good news.
The rest of the world will hear about it.
The increasing world-wide evil spirit is a consequence of inflated communication cascades.
In other words.
News ooze booze.
