You have Scotland on the verge of seceding from the UK. You have Catalonia wanting to secede from Spain. You have right wing candidates leading polls in France. You have eastern Ukrainians fighting a civil war to secede from the U.S. backed Nazi Ukrainian government in Kiev. Syria is breaking up. Libya is broken up. Iraq is a quagmire of factions. Egypt is a tinderbox. The whole world is tearing apart. But at least the stock market is doing well. Anyone who willfully ignores the coming firestorm of this Fourth Turning will be swept away in the tsunami of bloody change that is coming.
The bankers, oligarchs, politicians and corporate titans are worried. They have gone too far. They have gutted the wealth of their nations and their people. The people are beginning to turn on them.

Get your house in order.
