We’re talking about three storms tonight, the North Easter of the New England coast, the Storm around Trump and the Sessions storm around legalizing Pot. The first storm will end soon, but the latter two are shaping our nation, drawing energy, consuming our national interest and opening up potential for change in the future. A gathering storm is a feed-back loop that is a vortex drawing all available energy into its center like a drain in the bathtub. Trump and Pot have been such a vortex. Trump sucks up attention into a vicious circle going round and round, a vortex in the Media. Pot has been a vortex of dark money and prisons going round and round, creating more crime and more prisons. But at some point, the vortex cannot sustain itself, and it collapses under its own weight. The shift may look far away, but it can happen over night when the Turning Point is reached. At that point, any piece of flotsam can trip it.
