The Fence

It has been a while so I thought a short update would be appropriate. Things continue apace behind the scenes and I find myself inching towards the fence again. The real curtain is still in place and that is as it should be. Steorn has its agenda and its schedule and we are only privy to its rough outline. The big reveal will be this year as anyone who cares already knows. I am beginning to believe again that the event will be real and significant and now have a sense of why this journey is taking so long. Our want-it-now internet culture needs to be fed and it howls when ignored. In the real world - where people make things happen - hard work, trial and error, mistakes and failure, mark the road to successful revolutions and if Steorn’s claims turn out to be true, few would argue that this is a revolution to mark them all.

I remain cautious but my respect for Steorn is strengthening. These people are serious and they are talented. The obfuscation of the past is replaced by plain speaking and it is evident that the SPDC is a serious feature in the company’s plan. My renewed sceptical self will not allow conclusions to be jumped-upon, but it’s taking some discipline to force myself to heel.
