I don’t know whether Judge Roy Moore cruised around malls 40 years ago looking for teenage girls. He might be a pedophile, or the women stepping forward decades after the alleged incidents might be lying. To quote a famous scandal ridden establishment politician, “At this point what difference does it make”. He will win the run-off election for Jeff Sessions’ vacant Senate seat on December 12. He will win because we are in the midst of a Fourth Turning, where the mood of the populace has shifted strongly against the status quo/establishment.

This mood shift has been so strong Donald Trump’s endorsement of establishment hack and Mitch McConnell acolyte Luther Strange over Moore during the primary meant absolutely nothing. Moore won in a landslide. Moore is Alabama’s version of candidate Trump (as opposed to president Trump). He says outrageous things. He tells his opposition to f**k off. He brandishes handguns during campaign speeches. He lost his Chief Justice-ship because he refused to remove the Ten Commandments from the Alabama Supreme Court building. He was suspended for directing judges to continue to enforce the ban on same sex marriages after the ban had been deemed unconstitutional.
Roy Moore is a lightning rod of controversy and is despised by the liberal media, social justice warriors, the ACLU, left wing Democrats, Hollywood elites, non-Christians and the GOP establishment. He’s a rogue and considered uncontrollable by those running the show in Washington DC. Was it really a surprise these forces would conspire to destroy his candidacy a few weeks before the election? The Jeff Bezos Washington Post goes on a witch hunt to Alabama and seeks out and convinces women to accuse Moore of sexual misconduct four decades after it supposedly happened. Sure is reminiscent of the pussy grabbing audio used against Trump on the verge of the presidential election. The establishment playbook remains the same.
The moment the allegations emerged from left wing extremist Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post, the outcry for Moore to step aside was deafening from faux journalists on MSNBC, CNN, and virtually every corporate mainstream media outlet. The weak kneed GOP establishment politicians threw Moore under the bus immediately. Even Trump appeared to bail on supporting the Republican nominee who might be the deciding vote on his tax bill and Obamacare repeal. The wave of fake outrage coming from the halls of power in D.C. and NYC was amusing to observe. They were sure they could bully Moore into pulling out. They were badly mistaken.
The establishment propaganda machine went into overdrive, with new breaking polls showing Moore trailing his Democrat opponent by double digits. We all know how accurate establishment polls are, with Hillary having a 98% chance of winning the presidency according to these same pollsters. Then that parasite media whore disguised as a lawyer, Gloria Allred, stepped forth with her client’s yearbook as proof Moore was a pedophile. It took critical thinking people about three minutes to prove Moore’s signature was a blatant forgery. That was the last hurrah for the establishment effort to get rid of Moore.
He is now running against the despised mainstream media, the despised GOP establishment, the anti-Christian forces in Hollywood, the left wingers in D.C., and his feckless liberal Democrat opponent. Polls being conducted honestly by local Alabama pollsters are now showing Moore up by 6%. You can be sure the same silent majority who elected Trump are present in Alabama too. Moore will win the election easily in three weeks unless some absolute proof of his guilt is presented.
I’m sure he’s going to win based upon the resignation I’m seeing in the faces of the establishment hacks blabbering on the mainstream media propaganda outlets. When they speak about the Alabama election they can barely hide their contempt for the citizens of Alabama. The elitist pundits and politicians believe the deplorable people of Alabama are hicks, rednecks, racists, and shouldn’t be allowed to vote for Moore. The people of Alabama know exactly how these elitists feel. That’s why they are going to stick it to the establishment once again. Trump seemed to get the message this week and is halfheartedly giving his support to Moore.
There is a great divide in this country that cannot be bridged at this juncture in the Fourth Turning. The animosity between left and right, Christian and Muslim, establishment and upstarts, .01% and working class, neocons and non-interventionists, mainstream corporate media and truth telling bloggers, mega-corporations and workers, bankers and peasants, is growing by the second and will boil over when the financial system cracks for the third time in the last seventeen years.
The glorification of the military has grown to new heights in the last year as the Deep State pays major league sports teams to honor and pay tribute to war mongering. There isn’t a country on earth who is truly a threat to our peace and well being, but we spend a trillion dollars per year sowing discontent and chaos around the globe so we can keep our troops and navies occupied killing and bombing people as the profits flow to the military industrial complex. The soldiers being glorified on the local news, on TV dramas, movies, in feel good mainstream media stories, and at local sporting events are nothing but dupes and cannon fodder for the Deep State.
We are being played by the Deep State oligarchs as their raping and pillaging financial scheme reaches its limits and they attempt to convince us going to war against Iran, North Korea, Russia, or China is absolutely necessary to maintain our democracy and liberty. It’s nothing but bullshit. And a growing number of critical thinking people know its bullshit. We will not be sold another false bill of goods. The fetid pustules disguised as the leadership of this country can’t fool us again.
There will be no bank bailouts this time. There will be no $800 billion pork laden “stimulus plans”. The Federal Reserve will not get away with dropping dollars from helicopters on Wall Street while screwing old ladies on Main Street. They will not convince me Russian, Chinese, Iranian or North Korean people are my enemy. Their next war will be a civil war if they attempt to enlist my boys as cannon fodder for their globalization empire plans.
The mood has turned dark. The ignorant masses can beat the shit out of each other for 52 inch HDTVs at Wal-Mart, but the critical thinking minority will no longer play their game. Moore will win the Alabama Senate seat and the existing establishment will continue to lose. The existing social order will be swept away before this Fourth Turning climaxes. Whether Trump has the guts to keep fighting the establishment is yet to be seen. He has reneged on so many of his campaign promises and surrounded himself with so many establishment hacks, it will be a difficult road to navigate. If he sides with the establishment, he will be swept aside too. Once a Fourth Turning regeneracy gets underway, nothing can stop it.
I pray you are right Jim. People are sick and tired of our overlords. Time for torches and pitchforks.
Can’t add anything to that.
I want to see a raft of Moores join him in 2018 in the senate and there’s an excellent chance of that. Then hopefully those unfulfilled Trump promises will look a bit more doable.
Still scratching my head over Jerome Powell though, didn’t buck me up at all reading about him.
I myself am hoping the turning theory is wrong, though I feel deep inside it is correct. Please let this time be different. I prefer not spend my last years in turmoil and life or death struggle. Lord hear my prayers.
@Mossberg, try to think of this 4th Turning as a cleansing. That’s about the only way to view it in a positive light. Of course, it may not turn out “positive” but we are destined to witness it–and hopefully, survive it.
I pray with you for the safety of our families and ourselves.
Yes, Lord hear our prayer.
Saddle up Regulators!!!
Rise up!!
Come on boys, it’s time.
I don’t see much risk of the US going to war anywhere outside of North Korea. Even here Trump seems to be gaining ground in the economic strangulation of the regime but if that doesn’t work a preemptive strike at North Korea’s nuclear capability will be unavoidable.
Beyond North Korea, Trump seems to be mending diplomatic fences and stabilizing the world. The fighting in Ukraine has cooled and giving Russia some face saving cover for the strategic disaster it suffered with the ‘loss’ of Ukraine seems possible. Recognition of Putin’s conquest of Crimea and some sort of semi autonomous status for the Don Bass region might suffice and only recognizes what has already take place on the ground.
The middle east, despite the concerns of many here, is just not that geopolitically important to the US or Russia. What fighting as there maybe can be done through proxies if both sides agree not to escalate. Assad was Obama’s nemesis not Trump’s and who rules a rump Syria is of little importance as long as the Iranian army stays out.
I see no military confrontation with China anytime soon. If we make it clear we have no intention of occupying North Korean territory and might even withdraw from South Korea once North Korea has been disarmed we might even get Chinese help in taking down that regime.
The rest of the world is not on America’s schedule, Fourth Turning or not, so as bleak as things may seem socially and economically here, I really don’t see a major war anytime soon.

What do you think the Syrian war is all about? It’s the competing gas pipelines. Wake up.

Rise Up, maybe a pictorial of hot womens from different regions instead of a map would drive your point home. Noone is better at that than you!
I ain’t no one-trick pony! But hey, at least I got a reputation around these parts…
The US and Russia can supply all the gas Europe needs. Why either nation wants to share the market with Iran or Qatar ought to be the question you ask.
Qatar and Iran are also friendly, if not allies.
The sale of American gas is not that important to the American elites. Doing everything possible to hobble the hated Russia is priority number 1, 2 and 3 to certain American (((elites))).
“The middle east, despite the concerns of many here, is just not that geopolitically important to the US or Russia.”
U.If that’s not the dumbest thing ever written here, it’s damned close. You obviously don’t have a search engine on your computer.
Russian Generals sure as hell believe the U.S. is prepping for a war. Russia doesn’t have to save face in Ukraine. The US does, since we instigated the conflict, you maroon.
You got a seriously fucked up Crystal Ball. Get a refund.
Jim, I think you are dead on about Roy Moore, he’s going to blow out that liberal weeny. I think your understanding of Trump is a little off, in a couple of ways. First, he understands benevolence can only come from power. That’s takes a little doing. I think he is working on consolidating power nonstop. Destroy the liberal media, replace the liberal judiciary, out the frauds in congress, it takes some time. Ron Paul never understood this, and as a result he wasn’t able to do much, even though he was right. Tactics matter. Power matters, if you want to get anything done. I’ve been saying on here for years, the way out of this isn’t patriotic citizens with rifles, it’s a Federal government righteous enough, and powerful enough to take down the status quo. Trump is the guy. What campaign promises has he actually broken? Have some patience. It’s a big fight. Two years ago we almost couldn’t imagine the level of disruption that dude is causing. Roy Moore has been using Twitter in the same taunting way Trump does. This will become contagious. More and more righteous people will refuse to cower to PC, to groupthink, to ‘leadership’ that sells us out. The fourth turning is ahead of your schedule. Obongo was the low point for us. Europe? They have a tough job ahead. That could get really nasty. Francis so nails the power dynamics that make liberalism possible. But there is another facet also. Where does the money come from? If you think the democrats are flailing now, wait till the money dries up.
http://www.breitbart.com/news/trump-wants-to-end-welfare-as-bill-clinton-knows-it/
” it’s a Federal government righteous enough, and powerful enough to take down the status quo.”
A ‘righteous’ federal government? Is that like a merciful tornado or a compassionate plague? Righteous and government are contradictions in terms. You can have either one or the other. Or your definition of righteous needs serious attention.
Oh, and we all can’t wait for this already mammoth malignant growth in d.c. to finally get ‘powerful’ enough.
Ron Paul was right (you might say righteous) to reject trying to reform the system from the inside but instead use his pulpit to teach people that it would NEVER be the way to freedom. Sounds like you missed the message.
Don’t be a dum dum, CC. We have a guy in there, and he’s getting something done. At this point, Ron Paul is irrelevant. Ideology is what has kept us from taking back our country. You can huff and puff all day about righteous and government but at the end of that same day it gets nothing done. This has to be about results, not ideological purity. See Kurt Schlichter’s column today above. “Not all Never Trumpers are phonies; some actually believe in conservatism and are simply strategically confused. We are in the fighting phase now, and not everyone has the stomach to make the choices you need to make when you are grappling to the death in the Octagon. In the midst of our fighting, we have to sometimes prioritize, and yes – some traditional conservative values and ideals do need to get put on pause. As adults, and as people who have been in fistfights, we get that mindless purity leads to pure defeat.” I think Mr. Schlichter gets this entirely
Great essay. Thank you.
Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people.
“Their next war will be a civil war if they attempt to enlist my boys as cannon fodder for their globalization empire plans.”
People with nothing left to lose will simply lose it. No one is safe in this turning.
Jim I agree with everything you say. The good people of Alabama will do what they need to do. I’m not a great fan of Mr. Moore, but I just love seeing TPTB lose their minds.
I’m with Llpoh on this one. I have no confidence in the judgement of americans.
Moore may or may not be guilty of some of things said about him but any one is better then that leftist lying piece of shit opposing him. On Another site leftist are encouraging Doug Jones to lie even more about his radical leftist views.These leftist Progressives have no honor at all and this is another reason why there can be no more giving in to their demands.
Jim, you write with great clarity and purpose, and greatly admire your work. Totally agree on the 4th turning being a tidal wave that will sweep away the rot in our government, mostly out of pure necessity as our futures are all at risk. Do think Trump is playing the long game, and starting to win. If its possible to ignore the constant gas coming out of his mouth, and his crassness and ego issues, he is actually turning the screws on the devils in congress. The tide is sweeping through Hollywood on its way to DC. Moore will win big. We have reached the turning point.
If Moore liked maidens 40 years ago, he’s apparently done a good job of keeping himself in check for 35+ years.
Moore liked dating younger women so much, he married one twelve years younger when he was 35. They’ve been married for 35 years!
This is what it comes to. The choice is a creepy ex judge who may be a pedophile vs a radical swamp creature who thinks abortion should be legal through the first grade. I’m glad I’m not from Alabama
If this is a difficult choice for you, I’m also glad your not from Alabama.
Moore may be a deplorable prick (see what I did there?) but just the roll call of his opposition would be enough to convince me to vote for him if I lived in Alabama.
Much like Hiliarly vs. whoever. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Where’d you go?
I miss you so..
“I want you to know, I will never give up Although I’m stuck here waiting, outnumbered by strangers brought to erase every trace we existed which they made us believe we deserve, so don’t resist it but as long as I live I will feed the spark that might rekindle the fire in my people’s heart And maybe one day from the ruins you’ll reappear And join the rest of us here, saying “Where’d you go?”
The South Was Right!
Well written Jim. This aging cold warrior wants to kill many, many globalists, leftists, progressives and even their mindless minions idiotically ensconced in the identity politics of gender, religion and race. I want to kill them all, even though I know I have been psyop’ed into this hatred.
As our nation’s financial atrophy leads to ever greater psychosis, and the left seeks ever greater mechanisms to hide their faults, all i can think of is 5,000,000 like me marching on any city in the frayed union, and cleansing it. I want blood. The Tree of Liberty is dehydrated.
Moore and Trump have one thing in common, they both force the true colors to come out of the Republicans and the Democrats.
The most important part of a battle is knowing who your enemy is. Now that you know, choose wisely.
Because there are no comments containing significant disagreement:
1. Most “normal” people respect and admire the intentions and hearts of the young men who enter the military. Insulting them and their families smacks of misanthropy and perhaps arrogance.
2. I suspect that it is naive and shortsighted to believe that TPTB have no responses to another financial crisis ready to deploy.
3. Whiles examples of ridiculous incivility and violence at black Friday shopping are available, 99% (or more) of the black Friday shopping experiences were civil and non-violent. It is simply wrong to portray the whole country as uncivil and violent because of the actions of a few.
However, I expect Roy Moore to win and I expect this Fourth Turning to result in an incredible transformation of this society into something very different (and perhaps violent, see Article by FM).
If tomorrow they made it illegal to eat tomatoes and use the word Monday I can assure you that human nature would immediately create a premium on the demand for tomatoes and you’d notice a sharp uptick in the use of the word Monday.
This isn’t about Moore, or Trump or Democrats or Republicans.
It’s about being told what to do by a certain subset of people and and the rest of the people telling those people to fuck off. How hard is it to recognize a pissed off populace that is simply being defiant? Not in any big ways, yet, but in whatever way they can that doesn’t lead to their social or economic ruination. The ballot is still secret, so people are going to stuff that thing for whoever the establishment tells them they shouldn’t vote for.
It’s amazing that the MSM hasn’t figured this out yet. If they wanted Moore to lose, they should have endorsed him.
Forbidden fruit syndrome.
You have a good idea.
I may well start having a tomato sandwich every Monday.
Ohh yeah the great MIC, The Germans loved them dearly also.
And if you think I’m making a comparison, you are right.

The Republicans covered up for child molester House Speaker Dennis Hastert for umpteen years, of course they don’t care about Roy Moore being a pedophile.
