Conspiracy theory?

This year has been one heck of a strange one. My world as i have known it has turned on its head.

I am talking about the madness in Kenya (with the killings, the hate, and the displacements)

The xenophobic attacks on foreigners in South Africa

The crashing world markets! Between the Lehman brothers, AIG and now the series of banks that had to be rescued

Mbeki stepping down as president

Gordon Brown and the Isreali PM (not sure)

Its as if the world is reacting to an invisible fullmoon; as if we have been infected by some virus that is setting things in motion, ensuring that the world changes and things do not remain as they have been.

I think this is how discoveries are made, how geniuses are created. events such as these, which require superhuman brains to fathom. It may seem unrelated, but why is everything happening at the same time? Why can't the concept of predictability apply here? Is the world conspiring against us? Is the end coming??????????????

I have been reading Awake! so no, am not going crazy.

But seriously, what is happening to set these events off? Between the earthquakes, the tsunamis, the whirlwinds, hurricanes and so on, and the human initiated ones, am not too sure we are safe anymore (been watching sci-fi).........

Or maybe I just have too much time in my hands.
