Mood and perceptions are what drive Fourth Turnings. Can you tell this Fourth Turning began in 2008?
The mood of the world is darkening. Storm clouds are just over the horizon. It’s going to be a bitterly cold stormy Winter.
Are you ready?
China and not the United States is viewed as the world’s foremost economic power by Europeans, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center. Back in 2008, before the financial crisis, a European median of 44 percent considered the United States the leading economic powerhouse worldwide. In that year, 29 percent considered China the world’s leader.
China raced into the lead for the first time in 2010, and today, it’s viewed as the foremost economic power by 49 percent of Europeans compared to 34 percent for the United States. Interestingly, the shift in peception concerns America’s premier European allies – France Germany, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom.

The graph … someone ‘splain to me how ‘Murka went from around 29% in 2012 …. and increased to 34% in 2014.
Is it cuz we’re such an economic powerhouse the last two years? I mean, WTF?
Stuck
Stock market went up 100%.
Most people associate stock market gains as economic progress.
Most people are idiots.
Correct me if I’m wrong, this turning will take us to about 2029 or so? Doesn’t most of the carnage occur towards the end of the fourth – where its ‘for all of the marbles’?

The violent part of the last Fourth Turning was at the end. The Civil War violence was accelerated, resulting in a short 4th Turning. The American Revolution violence was spread across a full decade.
The countries in this 4th Turning have access to firepower never dreamed of in prior 4th turnings.
Thanks, Admin. Makes sense … even though it’s nonsense.
As I’ve said before: American is a strong (economically) country with a lot of assets. That Fourth Turning is going a ways off before the politicians and the 1% ‘er’s to totally rape and bleed dry the country. Plus the govenment school brainwash and the other idiots who want to rename Columbus Day, to completely fuck up the US.
Maybe then, maybe the great unwashed masses will put down their iCrap and the NFL, and realize what has happened to them.
I’m 65, and in a way I hope those asleep fuckers get what they deserve. They’re going to have to live with it a lot longer than I.
They certainly have be a-changing for Dylan. Did you see him in that Chrysler commercial for the Superbowl last year?
And why did you have to post such a shitty video of that tune? Because Dylan has all of his material locked up tight to maximize his personal profiteering off of every single thing he ever did. If you want to hear or see the best versions of his music, by god you can pay him the toll.
Changing indeed.
