There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
The Police – Spirits in the Material World
As I was driving home from work last week, an almost forty-year-old song began emanating from my radio. I’ve always appreciated the music of The Police, but was never a huge fan. Spirits in the Material World was a relatively minor hit from their 1981 Ghost in the Machine multi-platinum album. I’ve probably heard it hundreds of times over the last four decades, but the lyrics struck me as particularly apropos at the end of a week where lunatic left-wing politicians staged a battle royale of ineptitude, invective, and idiotic solutions, in front of a perplexed public in a Vegas casino. Sting wrote the lyrics to this song in 1981 at the outset of the Reagan presidency. It is less than 3 minutes in length, but says much about humanity and the world we inhabit.
The interpretation of Sting’s (Gordon Sumner) lyrics depends upon your position in the generational kaleidoscope of history. As a boomer, Sting came of age during the 1960s and 70s. He was thirty years old in 1981 as the Second Turning (Awakening) was winding down and Reagan’s Morning in America was about to launch the Third Turning (Unraveling) in 1984.
His passionate idealism and search for spiritual solutions to the problems of the day had not been extinguished. The raging inflation of the 1970s had led to the worst recession since the Great Depression. The Cold War was at its coldest. Politicians had been discredited as criminal (Nixon) or incompetent (Carter). Sting and many others of his generation had lost faith in the political system. His viewpoint fit perfectly into the Strauss and Howe assessment of our last Awakening period (1964 – 1984).
“Young activists and spiritualists look back at the previous High as an era of cultural poverty. America’s most recent Awakening was the “Consciousness Revolution,” which spanned from the campus and inner-city revolts of the mid-1960s to the tax revolts of the early ‘80s. Coming of age during this Awakening was the Prophet archetype Boom Generation (born 1943 to 1960), whose passionate idealism and search for authentic self-expression epitomized the mood of the era.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning
Sting’s opening lyrics were accurate in 1981. The spiritual was about to give way to the material. Another turning was in progress. Individualism and self-actualization were about to come into vogue. The “Me” generation was taking control. Society was about to be transformed by a “greed is good” mentality. The term “material world” was about to transform our nation. For the next two decades stock markets boomed, taxes were slashed, crony capitalism flourished, deficit spending became the norm, consumers consumed on credit, globalism was preached by the ruling class, and we devolved into debt serfs.
As the Unraveling unraveled in the early 2000s, with the dot.com debacle, 9/11, Iraq War, Wall Street created housing collapse, and ultimately the financial system crash in 2008, a pervasive distrust of institutions and leaders swept over the country. The Fourth Turning had arrived.
The “no bloody revolution” lyric struck a nerve when I heard it. Sting was right in 1981. Bloody revolutions don’t happen during Awakenings or Unravelings. But they do happen during Fourth Turning Crisis periods. There is no possibility of political solutions. The nation has split into competing camps, with no possibility of compromise or negotiated settlements. Our culture has been degraded. After decades of gorging on iGadgets, luxury automobiles, McMansions, and keeping up with the Joneses, the cynicism and desperation of the masses is palatable.
Greed, swindles, delusion and avarice have created an unpayable mountain of debt, severely risking the future of our country, and producing social disorder which will lead to bloodshed. There is a simmering rage just below the surface of a superficial civility, ready to explode at the slightest provocation. The 2016 ascension of Trump against the wishes of the Republican establishment and Sanders’ current ascension against the wishes of the Democrat establishment is proof the existing social order is rapidly losing control and will be swept away in a torrent of violence once the debt dam ruptures. The mood darkens by the day.
Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
They subjugate the meek
But it’s the rhetoric of failure
The Police – Spirits in the Material World
Sting’s inspiration for the song was the writings of Hungarian author and philosopher Arthur Koestler, whose book Ghost in the Machine was employed as the album name. Koestler’s life had many similarities to other authors of his time, like Orwell, Huxley, Steinbeck and Hemingway. In his youth he supported socialist causes, but like Orwell, became a staunch anti-communist. Koestler believed outside influences could destroy our spirit and restrict our thinking. The “spirits” and “ghosts” Koestler wrote about were the individual’s higher sense of life that gets lost in the “machine”, twisted by overbearing governments, mega-corporations, and a traitorous Deep State.
Our so- called leaders speak and offer nothing but lies, misinformation and propaganda. The ruling class has subjugated the meek by using government schooling to dumb down the masses, using Bernaysian propaganda techniques to control their wants and needs, and manipulating their ignorance by convincing them buying material goods with high interest debt leads to wealth. It’s the rhetoric of failure for average Americans, but the rhetoric of success for bankers, politicians, corporate executives, and the billionaire oligarch class. Sting explained his thought process regarding the song:
“I thought that while political progress is clearly important in resolving conflict around the world, there are spiritual (as opposed to religious) aspects of our recovery that also need to be addressed. I suppose by ‘spiritual’ I mean the ability to see the bigger picture, to be able to step outside the narrow box of our conditioning and access those higher modes of thinking that Koestler talked about. Without this, politics is just the rhetoric of failure.”
Sting perfectly captures a fundamental truth of our manipulated society. We have been conditioned through hidden mechanisms wielded by the Deep State, forming our habits, beliefs and opinions as they decree. The ruling class allows the plebs to believe they make their own choices at the voting booth, but they hand pick the politicians and tell you who to choose, at least until recently. Politics is nothing but a rigged game, just like our financial markets. It’s a failure for hard working honest people, but enriches the corrupt chieftains calling the shots. Edward Bernays revealed the truth about how the world really works ninety-two years ago:
“We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” – Edward Bernays – Propaganda – 1928
We are spirits in this material world. The physical world dominates the thought processes and actions of the majority and it most certainly is all that matters to the ruling class. Only the earthly success measurements matter to those controlling our society. Wealth, power and control over others drives the actions of these arrogant, despicable, evil men. They have no interest in the spiritual realm, the welfare of mankind, or doing what is moral and right. Money and materialism have become the golden calf worshipped by the heathen oligarchs and desired by the common people. We’ve traded the treasure of everlasting spiritual enlightenment for transient earthly mammon. Our culture of greed and celebrating aberrational behavior has sunk to a new low.
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it’s something we can’t buy
There must be another way
We are spirits in the material world
The Police – Spirits in the Material World
There must be another way. We are halfway through this Fourth Turning and answers are few. The questions are many. Humanity’s tendency toward self-destruction is a spectacle which reaches its zenith during Fourth Turnings. Decades of bad choices, living for today, accumulating insane levels of debt, and being deluded by the powers that be, has created a culture of alienation, greed, violence and materialism. The coronavirus pandemic, rapidly spreading across the globe, has the potential to dramatically shift the stranglehold of big business, big government, globalism, and Deep State surveillance over our lives.
Are the ghosts about to conquer the machine? Will the spiritual side of humanity arise once again and defeat the powers of evil who currently control the levers of society? A struggle against dark forces awaits the good people who choose the truth over the lies plied by the corrupt establishment.
The winner-take-all battle between good and evil approaches swiftly. Those with a spiritual basis for their actions will be pitted against those driven by greed, authority and oppression. This coronavirus pandemic, whether biologically weaponized by government authorities to further their agenda of control through fear, or organically formed through genetic mutations in filthy third world countries, appears to be the catalyst which will propel us into the ether of death and devastation, pervasive during the climax of Fourth Turnings. I’ve never been less sure about the future than I am today.
Is the planet about to experience a worldwide contagion that kills millions and brings global economic activity to a standstill, triggering a collapse in outrageously overvalued markets and implosion of the mountain of global debt? Or will the Deep State and their pliable servants utilize standard fear mongering techniques to further enslave a populace insufficiently capable of distinguishing reality from make believe.
The establishment will continue to lie and cheat because they are anchored in the material world and its ephemeral riches. They hate those who do not fall into line and can’t be corrupted by earthly riches. Either scenario will ultimately result in a showdown between good and evil. We all have choices to make. Will we ascend into the light of the spiritual or descend into the darkness of demons?
A complete collapse in trust is on the horizon. The excesses of materialism and greed have reached their zenith. Propaganda, money printing and Trump tweets cannot overcome a global pandemic. The ineptitude of government agencies and cluelessness of government bureaucrats has been on display in China and will be laid bare in the U.S. when the coronavirus continues its rampage across the globe. It will also reveal the propensity of government to act in a totalitarian manner when they are given free rein to control our lives. This virus will expose the fascist nature of our surveillance state and their incompetent response to a life or death crisis on our doorstep.
A crisis where life or death hangs in the balance will force people to focus on the spiritual aspects of life and make choices about what kind of world they want to leave for future generations. As this coronavirus brings our interconnected global just in time economy to a halt and millions once again see their 401ks evaporate, materialism will lose the admiration of the masses and people will begin to realize humanity can only survive and thrive if we adjust our priorities towards liberty, reason, responsibility, and doing what’s right today in order to leave a viable future for our children. The dark clouds of a monster storm on the horizon beckons. We will be forced to make difficult choices. Hopefully, enough people will make the right choices.

Admin- Once you know , you see it everywhere. Welcome to the party…….
Absolutely kick-@$$ article Admin! And quite on the money reply BL…….
The spiritual battle rages although most are unaware in this material world.
Do not our scriptures say, “Be wise as snakes but as innocent as doves” ?
Who are some of the top snakes in our world today? Our modern day “money changers” (ie elite Marxist bankers who’ve corrupted the whole corporate world including the corporate press) would foot that bill. These snakes have their lieutenants that are all about worldly power & deadly force: Communists.
Now here’s some cutting edge musings about the topic du jour, the Coronavirus®
“FACT: A communist in China is the same as a communist in Europe or America, they will all work together to accomplish a global communist transition, and “Captain Obvious” has made a few observations as to how this is being fronted:
1. Front a scam in China and get rid of dissidents. They had a problem with dissidents they had to solve, and the timing was PERFECT. Perhaps there is a real virus, (there probably is) but there are also massive lies about deaths, and that’s quite funky.
2. Openly and overtly place policies in all other countries that allow the “virus” to spread, or at least create the illusion that “in the name of freedom” they did not crack down soon enough. Make freedom and lack of control the scapegoat.
3. Release the binary poison outside of China, where information cannot yet be so firmly controlled, and create a real crisis. Make it look like the “virus” is spreading like wildfire as communists sit in comfort watching the show.
4. Destroy “freedom” and slam down total control on society, because too much “freedom” caused the problem. People need to grow up after all, and realize there’s a solid reason for excessive monitoring and control of everyone.
5. When enough people have been scared into oblivion by the binary poison, issue the kill shot while advertising it as the cure and wipe out the populations in Europe, America and elsewhere that have been a long standing pain for the Communists.”
There’s so many ways they could screw us, it’s hard to figure out which or how many are being used against us.
I have been monitoring the progress of this collapse for many years and is why I have written my book – to warn and prepare people for the coming depression.
IMHO, this virus is a spoof. The kill rate, even if it matches the 1918 flu pandemic, is unlikely to reach 100 million – a tiny proportion of the world population – and generally confined to ‘useless eaters’ like myself (the oldies) – at least it saves the pension funds LOL! We have had our pneumonia shots.
The Fed knew they had lost control – now a global depression will allow a reset of a NWO to take place at a much lower standard of living for 80% of the ‘non-producers’ and aging population. Call me cynical but all the evidence points to the elite engineering this crisis and they will benefit as usual.
Very plausible, indeed.
It’s not a collapse.
It’s a reckoning.
Saw the Police on this tour. Loved their music, but hated their concert. Oingo Boingo was the opening band and they were fantastic. The Police were 1 1/2 hours of 3 dullards on stage playing good music with virtually no excitement. Paid $12 to see them. My how times have changed and Fed-created inflation destroyed the purchasing power of the dollar.
Indeed, we ARE all just spirits (energy) in the material world. At its core, every religion is about re-connecting with or recognizing the truth of that divine, spiritual nature on a permanent basis in a whole-body/mind way.
Exactly. Three good musicians in search of good music. Two or three decent songs, and that’s about it. I heard them on a King Biscuit Flour Hour in 1980? and the first song they played was possibly one of the fastest, high power punk songs I’ve ever heard. Don’t know if it was ever released on a album.
I had a reel to reel collection of King Biscuit over several years. Lost it in a flood.
I walked on an Elton John concert in the 80’s. It just downright sucked.
What an amazing and thought-provoking piece. It called to mind a quote I thought was once attributed to author/philosopher Ayn Rand:
“A spirit without a body is a ghost and a body without a spirit is a corpse.”
But when I searched for the quote I couldn’t find the source. Although I did find this one:
Perhaps that means faith is what we do; or don’t do. And what if its manifestation was a matter of domain or locality or region or realm? Dominion?
In any event, it could all come down to focus. Or priorities?
Will have to consider that some more. In the meantime, thank you for the awesome article
John 18:36 – Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Romans 12:2 – And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
1 John 2:15 – Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
I look at it in a different perspective. A spirit without a developed soul has failed in it’s purpose. The body is the spiritual earth of the spirit.
The earth is a many faceted place that is the playground created for the evolution of man. We think we control our destiny. Not until we become an individual do we control our destiny.
” For as the body without spirit is dead, so is faith without works is dead also. James 2:26
The testaments are written in poem form with verses so interpretation is metaphysical or as some prefer material; literal.
What Jesus brought to the world is love; spiritual love. Before Jesus spiritual love on earth did not exist among the people.
We; that is, the I AM in us is a spirit. The “I” in us that is the many “I’s” is the ego of our body. Our soul is the seed that is sent in us to be developed.
So when James said body without spirit is dead we all know that a corpse is a body without spirit. And when James said faith without works is dead did he not mean that having faith in God means seeking to know Gods laws which means work in the practice of those laws when they are found.
“The Real Self is dangerous: dangerous to the established church, dangerous to the state, dangerous to the crowd, dangerous to tradition, because once a man knows his real self, he becomes an individual.” ― Osho
“So when James said body without spirit is dead we all know that a corpse is a body without spirit. And when James said faith without works is dead did he not mean that having faith in God means seeking to know Gods laws which means work in the practice of those laws when they are found.”
Could you say that in English?
I did
James is talking about dead as in no afterlife because you don’t have the spirit (Holy Spirit, Jesus, God).
James is talking to Jewish tribulation saints; not to believers today.
James 1:1 KJB… “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.”
And Paul was talking to any number of churches that are dead and gone. Ephesians 1:1 “Paul, and apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Jesus Christ.” So are you suggesting we shouldn’t study James along with all other books who are addressed to someone else, or is 2Tim. 3:16 reliable after all? Wait a minute, that was to Timothy! Darn it!
“So are you suggesting we shouldn’t study James along with all other books…”
No I’m not saying that, though that’s what people seem to hear. Study James in context. Know the audience.
Do you believe the Bible? If so, who was James writing to? Paul, on the other hand, is writing to believers saved by grace alone through faith alone in the shed blood of Christ alone. Let me ask you, where would such faith “alone” get the folks James was speaking to?
Paul speaks to the church, the body of Christ which is far from dead and gone.
If Christians saved by grace alone do good works out of gratitude, then would Paul say ‘faith without gratitude is dead’?
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Colossians 3:17
Paul has plenty to say on the topic of good works.
Ephesians 2:10 KJB… “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
What does the law say? I’m paraphrasing… “do them, or else”.
I like the why you use the Christ term. it feels correct.
He said no such thing, but…
1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJB… “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
…is close to what you’re thinking, I think.
So the book of Hebrews is off limits? “Man shall not live by bread alone but by EVERY word of GOD”
JESUS
Y’all are putting lots of your own words into my mouth.
The book of Hebrews, as all the Hebrew epistles, are directed at the Hebrew Kingdom saints, their dealings with believers and unbelievers and are future books; in a post body of Christ world. A Christians doctrine is not found in them. They are works based.
Past: Gen – Acts
Present: Rom – Philemon
Future: Heb – Rev
Rightly divide the word of truth.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJB… “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
While all scripture is profitable in many ways, not all is doctrine. A very clear example would be Ark building. We are not to build Arks today as God said He would not flood the earth again. We can however learn plenty about God and man from the scriptures that tell of it though.
Proverbs 6:2
Thou art snared with the words of thine mouth!
2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJB… “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine.
While all scripture is profitable in many ways, not all is doctrine.
I think you’ve been spending too much time in your head, i.e. “The Material World” and not enough time in “The Spirit”.
You literally contradict the Word of GOD in your FIRST sentence after quoting it.
WOW!
an anagram for doctrine is NO Credit – but seems profitable…
Or “Credit On”
Yes, as the grace country pastor said above, rightly dividing the Word of God, (Scripture), is essential in order for a person to have a proper understanding of the Bible.
which bible? the gospel of Thomas? pre-Constantine? and where is the Luciferean doctrine that i am supposed to abhor? i always thought that Grace was the ability to with stand the torment and mercy was the swift delivery of punishment.
Both attributes are of the Lord. Grace – because God puts up with us even though we are wretched. Mercy – because God still gives us the chance to repent even though we constantly rebel against. A bit like a Father would.
Just making sure you were still around, GCP. ?
?
I like the picture. Very cute. What’s your dog’s name? Is it a yellow lab?
Thank you VV… that is a picture of my late Lab, Ruby.
She was a beautiful dog. I have a late dog as well. Hopefully, within a week I’ll have one or two new dogs if all goes well.
She lived an amazing life! Was number three in a long line. For the first time in my adult life I am without a Labby but my Great Dane and Beagle deserve all my attention these days.
Someday once again… Labs to me are the quintessential dog! I adore them all, there is just something about a Lab. Rose, my number 2 lived to 17 years!!!
I hope you find yourself in the company of dogs once again real soon VV… ? amazing creatures of substantial loyalty, devotion and unconditional friendship.
I wrote this a few weeks after she was gone…
…it helped me cope.
Grace and peace to you and yours.
Thank you, GCP. And Lab or part-Lab is what I’m trying to get.
Mary Christine mentioned getting Pyrenese/Lab mix pups. That sounds like a really awesome blend. All that Lab energy and gigantic furballs flying everywhere. (When I used to brush Jake a lot, when we lived in the city haha, his fur would cover the yard. I have photos, of course. )
I am privileged to own this big Pyr, Jake, who is beloved by all nice neighbors.
By the way, I do not know if her husband is taking the dewormer treatment. However, she did tell me that her daughters take care of getting all her husband’s supplements together and making him the smoothie mix so he will take them every day.
I saw Jill on her quad the other day and she waved and slowed down, but I didn’t walk toward her and she drove on. Sometimes, you don’t need to say nuthin’ when you’re women, too.
It ain’t my business. I gave them the information.
That’s such a beautiful dog, Maggie.
I don’t have the budget for buying expensive dogs. I’ll be adopting from the shelter.
The problem is, I can’t go inside the shelter myself or every animal would come home with me, or it would break by heart to go in, see them, and leave them in there. My son is going to have to get the dogs for me so I have to wait until he can do it, which I hope is within a week. I’m requesting Labs or Lab mixes. But now I will ask about a Pyrenese/Lab mix as well. (As long as it’s not mixed with Pit Bull. I don’t like Pits based on experience.)
I want large to extra-large dogs, especially since I currently live alone with the son away at college.
My son has a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix named Little Bear. He looks like a small polar bear. I don’t have photos of course… ?
I’m sure you and your son together will find a wonderful pup VV. I totally hear what you’re saying about the shelter.
Yeah, because if our canary gets raptured and we don’t know about it, we’re screwed.
That was almost clever! Because if we don’t know about it, that means we did NOT get raptured. So, we’re screwed.
I’m listening/watching to the new Peak Prosperity video from Chris Martenson. Seriously, when he released his Crash Course to one of the Family of Families members before it was released to the world, and he even corresponded with a couple of the main organizers/leaders. They didn’t like being called “leaders” but truth is this: when there is a group, someone better be in charge or it turns into an angry mob.
So, he is discussing the craziness of the markets and if you remember, I do know a bit about market fundamentals, at least as Peter Lynch explained it to me longagoandfaraway, before I invested in JNJ and PNG and put my kid through college with coupon money, which insults every savvy investor in the joint, so I’ll shut up. But I did it.
So, read this screen shot and then realize why I was able to figure out where to invest my coupon money. Investment experts are idiots. Squeezy?
I told Geneva she could have the rest of my beans and a case of dry milk and she stopped in her tracks and told me she’d been wishing she could get her hands on a bunch of dry milk because she uses a lot of it for her husband’s smoothies the girls have him on every day. I don’t know if there is dewormer in it, but I hope so. Now, It will also include ten year old LDS dry milk. She was worried about taking it, but I told her that I got stuck with a big load of cases of the dry milk that people said they wanted and didn’t pay me for.
I bet they wish they’d paid me for them now.
You really can’t have too much dry milk on hand.
My mother was just diagnosed with skin cancer. This is the second time (at least 10 years ago.) Both cut out. I have to take her to the doctor on Thursday so they can do a full body check. I told her about the de-wormer. Hopefully, she’ll be willing to try it. I’m also trying to get her to change her diet, but she’s 88, lived though the Great Depression and WW2, grew up very poor, and set in her ways.

Liberalism cannot survive without a well heeled sponsor or an oppressive government to levy taxes on conservatives.
To a control freak, control isn’t the most important thing.
It’s the ONLY thing.
‘Libido Dominandi’ – The Lust to Dominate. It’s the worst addiction that I can think of.
The only way to beat an addiction is to seize control over it.
How do you beat an addiction when the addiction is seizing control over everything?
If you try to seize control over it you aren’t beating it, you’re feeding it…
“Libido Dominandi”
heh. been listening to a lecture on saint augustine ….
as discussed in the city of god the libido dominandi is exercised by one’s self over others and/or by others over one’s self. the idea of it being exercised by one’s self over one’s self is not considered.
But isn’t that the prime directive of the successful alpha male?

Attention: the 4th turning has been canceled. It has been disrupted, like so many other constructs in this world.
Religion has been replaced with Climate change
ICE will be replaced with EV ( personal mobility will be range bound)
freedom will be replaced with security (by the state, without your consent)
4th Turnings require world wide revolutions and war fare on industrial scale.
The Empire can no longer win a direct conflict, instead, it will be all asymmetrical tactics from now on.
This whole pandemic is just a replacement for impeachment. The MSM is overreacting again, it is more theater.
If the economy and the stawk market crash under this administration, it will be the fault of el presidente, and the voters will choose a replacement, this should be obvious.
TPTB have had quite enough of this fellow who communicates directly with his base, and is creating similar behavior patterns of populism around the globe. That puts fear into those at the top of the pyramid.
If he stays for another 4 years, there might be a chance his policies will gain traction, and that is the last thing these blue bloods want to see.
Anon.
If voters were allowed to choose, Ron Paul would be President, not DJT.
Americans no longer want freedom and liberty. THAT is why we have the presidents we have.
I don’t think that’s a very accurate statement. Ron Paul got just over 40,000 votes in the 2012 Presidential election. Four years later almost 63 million people voted for Donald Trump.
Star
The media blackout and the debate sham would not have been able to alter the playing field if we were allowed to choose. The statement was not supposed to be taken in a vaccum. You know better than that.
I must remind you that the “people” don’t vote for president. And the Electoral College was heading toward selecting Ron Paul. Therefore, the cheating and shenanigans at the Republican convention stealing Paul’s nomination, which convinced me to never vote again. Why endorse a corrupt system?.
My point is, austerity is not popular. A hard money world cuts lots of people out of the lifestyle they now enjoy. So they aren’t going to vote for that. I think Ron Paul was more of a Paul Revere type. Not a nuts-and-bolts guy, going to get you results. Damn sure could point out the problem. And did. And we should be grateful for that. But to get anything done you need a brawler. And a long-term strategic thinker. We’ve got that now. A George Washington. Let’s see how he does.
I’d rather Trump was a Thomas Jefferson rather than imperialist-acting George Washington.
She lost, Vic. Get over it.
She who? Are you talking about Hillary? I would have never voted for that demon witch. But again, I don’t vote. I’m just a bystander watching the parade every four years.
I’m teasing you, Vic. That’s a stock answer I’ve been throwing at the loons lately. I do think President Trump is setting himself up for an epic second term. It’s just going to depend on what his vision for the country actually is, I think he holds a lot of cards close to his chest.

Austerity is particularly not popular with the Negroes. They wants what Whitey has been denying them all these years, don’t you know?
This was THE Material Girl’s very prescient answer, don’t you think?
fwiw? Madonna was a big factor in the so-called sexual transgendering culture.
Indeed, 4 years after the Police song. This song was the epitome of the 80s, with that whore as a very weak version of Marilyn Monroe.
Maybe not. Despite the buildup of the MM myth, she said, my body promises more than it delivers. I take it she was loose as a goose; they all are after they have been serial Weinsteined. It’s all image and that is the same thing Madonna was selling. What I’d like to know is what sleazeball lawyer is still making a living administering “The Estate of Marilyn Monroe”?
Can’t stand Madonna.
Her voice on her albums is under ideal conditions. If you listen to her Live Aid performances, it’s a deep, flatter, huskier voice. She’s really a studio creation. BTW, the Live Aid charity concerts (2) were– once again– organized by White people to bail out– yet again– niggers in Ethiopia. Wake up, White man. Attend to YOUR OWN RACE! Blacks are 100,000 years behind in development, and they CAN’T catch up.
swimmy, Old Pangloss said popular music makes people think they can sing. That kind of ruined it for me because then I began to notice most popular music singers sing in a narrow vocal range which is essentially flat. Whether the sound engineers jimmy the pitch or not makes little difference when they sing the entire song with one note.
So then it was back to crooners for me, at least they make an effort to modulate their voice when they sing.
OT: The 80’s was a great time for singers, both English and Spanish. Old HF said 10CC (and Queen) ushered in the era of quality music. Alas, rap overtook that golden age and possibly killed HiFi, it wasn’t just the cd or napster. Fourth turnings in music have a shorter cycle.

Sting’s opening lyrics were accurate in 1981. The spiritual was about to give way to the material. Another turning was in progress. Individualism and self-actualization were about to come into vogue. The “Me” generation was taking control.

Wow. Thanks for sharing, Rins. I’m always on the lookout for some good rock music, and this
band flew under the radar for me. Great lyrics, and I like the stripped-down rock/punk rock feel. In the same vein, try “Let’s Have a War” by Fear.
SUPERB work Sir! Who says we cannot get better with maturity.

Great piece admin.
Can’t say I’ve got anything of value to add, but I’ll make an attempt with a story of, let us call it, Cosmic Irony. In other words, as any American of Irish descent knows, God Has a Sense of Humor, sometimes. Though, maybe one could argue it’s Satan messing around.
So, my wife & I decided we would go to St. Peter’s Square on New Year’s Morning for the Pope’s message. Not that I’m a fan of this Pope, and I’m not sure the Catholic Church would consider me Catholic anymore. And google translate is only so effective. In any event, as our taxi came into sight of the Vatican. . . What comes on the radio? Like A Prayer by madonna.
In any event, it sure does feel like some sort of reckoning is coming.
Korea War 2, Syria War, Syria War again, Iran War, Civil War, Trade War to collapse economy, tariffs to collapse the economy, Muller is going to get Trump, Stormy is going to get Trump, Cohen is going to get Trump, Schiff is going to Impeach Trump, Trump cannot win 2016, Russia, Russia, Russia, and now…

I have heard wolf so many times, it is beyond fable, this is not the kid who cried wolf. This is a degenerate group of losers so accustomed to lying they are unable to either recognize or convey truth in any matter. The purity of their lies is so complete as to now be useful, it is all lies so one can discern elements of truth by assuming the opposite of every utterance.
Enjoy the show!
Mother of God that was fantastic. The writing was so sharp, so logical, and so objective all you could do was follow along with your mouth open wondering how you do it.
A while back when you sounded like it was getting to you I was worried that it would mean you were done writing.
Man was I wrong.
That was a gem.

Old HF said a joke is funny because the audience already knows the punchline. I would say this article connects with the readers because they know it is true. They are wise in the ways of separating fly shit from pepper. Unfortunately, they are boomers and their clear vision is considered suspect by those who believe, who’ve been raised by the empire of lies to believe that fly shit is pepper.

The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board, a new,
independent body that assesses how ready we are for a worldwide
emergency, just released its first health preparedness report. Verdict:
“Lets have a drill.”
Step three involves government heads installing high-level coordinators
with the authority to conduct simulations—drills, in essence—of what the
country must do if a pandemic hits.

The creation is about the manifestation of all possibilities. We may not like the possibilities but that is not for man to decide.
Our problems are of our own making. Our own negative thinking. For many of us the animals around us have better ethical thinking than us.
And one important message we have to get into that physical head brain of ours is that the world is constantly changing so we can only use the recent past as a guide post until we find how to understand the now.
No room to compromise. Check Seething rage just under the surface. Check. I have had enough of the smug moralizing from the left. I am not going to take their shit anymore. I think there are many more who have the same or similar attitudes. Admin has insight that is enlightening to some of us more regular guys. When SHTF I’m glad some of the old birds on this site are on my side.
I’m posting this before I read any comments. I’ll see if I jibe with the others.
Outstanding.
That was fascinating. I can only applaud.
I have not continued reading due to inclement weather and a bad mood. I don’t read in a bad mood. Isn’t fair.
More rain? The fields around here are positively squishy and we need at least 2 weeks of sun and wind to dry things out a bit. I’m sick of it. If it doesn’t dry out and the weather warms up our lavender will develop a fungus in the roots and it’s all over for the lavender. Fortunately we planted some elderberry and aronia who both love wet feet.
The sun is out this morning, but I don’t trust it.
Revolution will not come until it is forced down our throats. It is much easier to have a revolution when you do not have a just-in-time global supply chain. After all, a revolution that lasts any length of time will throw us into 1850 without any understanding of how to live in 1850. Frankly, we have a lot of very complex fragile things that once broken will be nearly impossible to put back together again.
Our ancestors would not have put up with any of this but the majority of them were self sufficient. Not only are Americans no longer self sufficient but a sizable minority of them demand that everything be given to them for free without having any responsibility to the greater society.
From what I can gather, we’ve got about two weeks worth of stuff we can continue to sell to one another before our economy and society grind to a halt. Perhaps that will be the Black Swan that kicks it all off.
Thus the Berning Platform Phenom.
Admin, brilliant article! I think that’s the best you’ve written so far out of all of the many outstanding articles you’ve written.
VV! I laughed out loud because I said to myself “She says that EVERY ARTICLE Quinn writes!”
(I only call BL Eddie Haskell because he is ;0)
That’s because all of his article are so good. I agree with everything he says and have nothing to add. 🙂
I’m a huge fan of good writing and of watching the progression from early material to later work over the course of a writers life, and Quinn is up there with guys like Orwell as far as I’m concerned. He just keeps getting better and better, so yeah, Vixen Vic gets it.
It is one of the great injustices of our time that someone with that kind of raw talent is out here on the fringe when the entirety of the MSM together doesn’t add up to a spunk bubble. Of course it only proves he’s right or he’d have a weekly column in the NYT.
I can’t add to your critique but I agree with it. Admin belongs to the kind of writers we grew up reading. Modern prose is infected with buzzwords and pre-digested cliche’s like ‘cuck’ or ‘Nazi’. He doesn’t fuck around with flowery words or fancy political phrases. He follows Don Quixote’s advice to Sancho – tell the story like a man with a sound mind (cordura). He doesn’t waver in his outlook, his feet are firmly planted on the ground of the fourth turning. His writing is easy to assimilate and I find it hard to know if my ideas came from his writing or from my own observations.
OT: I will not compare but I can say that Maggie’s buddy from Fucking, NY comes across as a lightweight vanity blog. His topics may be serious, I don’t know, but I wasn’t impressed or impacted. It sounded like HR talking about trapping squirrels.

It is a great youtube channel… The videos are short, yet packed with loads of information.
Here is another video about Iwo
Sheesh, it’s becoming a habit for me to arrive late. I was going to post this yesterday but ran out of time and had to leave. At least 3 people have mentioned Madonna. Disclaimer: I hate her so this is not to promote anything she does. That said, someone I have been following lately came across this video from Eurovision in May of last year.
BL, and Mark and anyone else that is good at seeing symbols needs to watch this. I know it will be painful to watch but the symbolism in this video is very creepy. Gas masks and all kinds of creepy symbolism. The song is an updated version of Like a Prayer. She is introduced as the Queen. Look at her robe. It has a Q that looks like a serpent with it’s mouth open, and a big X. She wears an eye patch with an X on it. (Someone had called the Virus Disease X recently) Ignore the music (it is terrible) and use the caption to pick up the words. If you look closely you can catch a the red kabalah bracelet she always wears.) At the 5 minute mark she stops singing and begins to talk. Those words are extremely important. Meanwhile you have women in gas masks and flowers on their head dancing all around her. This resembles one of the pics that someone, Maggie maybe, posted of the creepy Denver airport. There are things I probably missed because I can’t stand to watch it. 3 times was more than I could take. If you think this isn’t spiritual, I got a bridge I need to get rid of.
I watch classic films with my kids in the evening and we dissect them to find the flaws and the strong points and see where the influences come from and what they have on later films (I know, it’s trick to get them to think critically, but you can only read so many books a year, movies take 2 hours max).
The other night we watched Vision Quest and about a quarter of the way through there’s the very young and still unknown Madonna in the background of one scene as a singer in some local club. It made me kind of sad, she looked so soft and vulnerable, pretending to be some kind of tough, alternative chick. I felt really bad for how things turned out for her. She had a great talent for creating new versions of herself for each album, but she seemed to have gotten drawn into a very dark and unpleasant path and now she’s just a gross old lady with huge butt implants trying to screw her way through an endless stream of young third-worlders in order to stay relevant.
I pity her children.
What I find odd is I started listening to this video without the connected imagery. The song, first one at least, is beautiful and delicate. At some point I had to see what was going on and yeah the symbolism is hideous and obvious.
She could have chosen to age gracefully like Bette Davis. She didn’t instead she chose to become the Madame at the Whorehouse when when her butt implants went south…
All the boys thinking she’s a spy
Her strutting sadly across the stage
The shallowness the only thing ringing
in her eyes….
She took the Evil and the Evil took her.
agreed!
Sad part is she doesn’t know it is past time for her to exit Stage Left…
Rins.
She’ll soon be doing Cher farewell tours at 70.
I’m not sure I believe that is the actual Madonna. Maybe the video got doctored up but the face closeup in the beginning of the vid is just way too young looking even considering surgery. Maybe it’s the blood she is drinking.
Mary.
Gross but likely.
Pineal Glands of children are supposed to provide fountain of youth
They deliberately pull away from closeups quickly. You can see the chicken neck and in a sideview of her head, you can see a double chin or something that belies the youthful front view. The side view looks more like 50+ and not JLo 50+.
I know she’s 62 but her looks are in keeping with the current slow aging Americans are undergoing maybe due to McDonald’s preservatives and plastic surgery. Thalia is a case in point, married to Tommy Mottola, she obviously has spent $thousands, maybe even $hundreds in plastic surgery.
I want to see pictures of the bad butt job
How fake does one have to be to want a fake ass that you sit on most of the time…
Fucken pathetic!
What the hell?
My son had only a passing idea of who Madonna was. The other night we watched an old 80’s flick called Vision Quest and she was in it. He said he found it impossible to believe that the two women (the one in the movie and current day Madonna) were the same person.
I tend to agree.
yep…..
Madonna best skip the battleship.

And forget about turning that around
That ass has been ground by the pound.
If she could turn back time she’d still be banging Sonny Bono.
The good old days
Sonny became a Republican representative from California. You can see why he and Cher divorced.
Except for Eastwood, celebrity politicos like Reagan, Bono and Schwarzenegger come out Republican to give them more gravitas.
Is why I posted the link to Material Girl under this post initially… Jim’s essay made me realize what an impact she had on girls morals. She told the Gen Xer girls to be whores and lesbians.
The fall of mankind has just kind of followed that.
The Folks at the Frankfurt School took a while to figure it out.
They did though eventually stumble on the right formula.
You didn’t see Jane Fonda doing the same thing a generation before Madonna?
A good point, but Jane was part of that crazy end of the 60s no one seems able to really remember because it was so chaotic… kind of like NOW.
It was all part of that Medium is the Message programming which was ongoing.
by Maggie, just now and I declare copyright because, by God, that blockquote is clever if I must say so myself.
Can’t stand Jane Fonda either. She and Madonna are two mushy peas in the pod.
Edit: I’ll copyright my quip as well. 🙂
Maggie.
Right. It coincided with the pogram against men. Turning them into what Rush calls the Male Castratti. I think I understand why a girl would rather date a girl than a Hipster.
I liked her in the movie, Mr. Skeffington and Bunny O’Hare.
The symbolism is hideous and obvious. I suspect she was a very early graduate of the Weinstein school to stardom.
At the 6 minute point it gets really weird. She starts a new chanting about how not everybody here is going to make it to another day… I have long believed Madonna to have been part of the chosen choreographers of societal corruption, along with MJ, Prince and Brittany, for a couple other samples of early 1980s dalliance with demonic themes. Whether you believe in a Divine Creator God or not, I bet you know exactly what happens when someone entertains evil in their mind.
It stays there unless it is purged.
Her accompanying dancers are wearing gas masks. and the words are!!!
“not everybody’s going to the future; not everybody here is going to last.”
I hope she gets purged with this pandemic. If it is God’s Will, of course.
This is the message of the last image in the video! Symbology 101!
Madonna was promoting inter racial love before the Kardashians made it mainstream.
Looks like two towers. what could that mean?
There were actually eight of them in one of the dance scenes… they were moving them around and I am betting there was symbolism there (why else do it?) but not sure what it might be.
Remember?
and the band plays on….
A Bad Romance
Playing the same Song
Dude, I’m talking about the still pic with the words WAKE UP. They look like two towers and some dust covers the air. It looks like 9/11. Does that mean that post 9/11, we see interracial couples as a normal sight? Or does it mean that 9/11 was not a normal sight and neither were black/white couples?
are you still here waiting for godot
If only to avoid hanging myself
How do you interpret or reconcile the storm she depicts with Trump’s “I am the storm” and the gathering economic shitstorm?
a lot different from this one huh
She was telegraphing information. Where is BL when you need him? I’m sure you caught the reference to “The Storm”
I gotta get ready for an appointment with the Sheriff’s office to get my CC license. A license might not even matter very soon but I will go through the motions.
Your symbolic sensibilities are sought, Senor Bea!
M G- I’m watching markets today, sorry ladies. How can I help?
Look at Mary’s post about Madonna
WOW! Those lyrics are some sick stuff.
The devil has nothing new – Sister Pangloss
The imagery is old as rock and roll. A head like a demon or a Marvel superhero is projected on the stage. The scene expands and we see what looks like a church. The cloaked figures representing monks in the service of the beast. The queen (of heaven) appears. She is blind in one eye like the beast who had a wound in it’s head. Given the dark imagery, it is hardly a call to real repentance; the people are warned that their infractions are recorded will not be forgiven, punishment is the promise. Therefore, what does it mean they should awaken and then will see the future? There is talk of a future crucifixion, as if there has not been one already. And there is talk of assuming a throne in heaven, as if that throne is not already occupied. So, yeah, nothing new.
Now I recounted a dream I had once and it pretty much matches what we see here:
I had quit drinking and the alcohol withdrawal provoked many nightmares. One was about descending a dark stairway which was about 12 feet wide. There were others climbing down. One person lost his nerve and ran back upstairs. The woman at a desk below laughed at his fear. I could sense bodies crawling on the floor along with those stepping down the stairs. The woman was very beautiful but her sight was repulsive nonetheless, the fear and disgust that she caused in people gave her pleasure. Everybody in turn would check or sign a register in front of her. She had a small round makeup compact by the register.
Looking on this video, we see the same stairway to hell. Vashti the disobedient queen is cloaked but later her sexy attire is revealed. In my dream, people have signed a compact with the evil one to fulfill their lusts and check their names in the book of the dead – Madonna says that not all will be with them in the future. In the final scene (she encourages women to lighten the dark men) she joins hands with the dark one. They have a future together. However, we also see them fall, which makes her story about a future suspect. They are the fallen ones and her song recounts her falling through the air out of the sky. Which makes her whole message about wokeness and mixing with blacks a lie. Her future throne is a lie and her followers are deceived.
Are you all just noticing Madonna’s high theater? She held a Satanic ritual at half time at the Stooper Bowl.
She practices Kabbalah and she’s speaking of the coming harvest. I would say check out VIGILANT CITIZEN to see if he has that video broken down in to what actually is depicted. The one eye covered is as common as dirt with them. It’s every day in almost every media form but heavy in magazines and music. They have been putting this in front of you for decades.
FYI- Tomorrow is “Rare Disease Day”, not shitting you.
PS- One eye covered is the eye of Horus, All Seeing Eye. Forgot to insert that.
Rare Disease Day? You can’t make this stuff up.
MC- How’s that for timing? Ha
The harvest of souls could just be theater, what do you think? I know the elites want us culled out ASAP.
BL
I know what she does, I just quit looking 30 years ago because of it. This is the first one since and it shocked me.
Then you must have missed when she portrayed the Baphomet at the Super Bowl.

She and every other one eyed freak will get their just desserts. I’m just impatient. I want to see it happen in this world.
I forgot to mention the flags on the backs of the the couple walking up the steps together near the end. Did either of you see them, Flea, BL?? One on the left is the Israeli Flag and the other I’m not sure. It’s red and green, which were the colors on the Economist magazine for 2020.
Mary.
Looks like the Jordanian flag. I have trouble following the herky jerky splicing they do but if it isn’t I don’t know who’s it is. I get the hint I think. They are close for one thing. No matter what MSM says. It seems to depict a Russian suicide. They ride the stairs to the top together while decieving everyone, then they deliberately fall away and the only ones left standing are the Queen and her stud. Not everybody can go to the future. Or Nimrod and what’s her name with the hanging gardens.
The queen and her stud fall back also, did you read my comment above?
EC.
I started to but then went off on a trip recounting those first tree months of withdrawals and lost track of what you were saying.
It looks similar to the Bahamas.
EC.
Bahamas is black, blue, and yellow. This was green, Black, White and red
Here’s a list of flags with those 4 colors on Wikipedia. It’s listed as “White Black Red Green.” If it doesn’t go straight to that category, it just past halfway down the page.
There are a lot of flags with those colors so you would have to look at them to see which matches the flag in question.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_flags_by_color_combination#White,_black,_red,_green
Well, we can guess about the b/w but the other colors sound like Crimson and Clover that somebody assured me was a song about sex.
Looks like Palestinian flag.
I can’t stand watching Madonna but put in on 1.75 speed so I could get through it to find the flag Check link above. So Israel & Palestine. Just too P.C. for sure. These people hate each other’s guts. There will be no peace there.
Vixen.
It’s definitely Palestine. Jordan has a small white star on the red triangle.
They had the title first and then filled in the verses. But it’s not about sex.
From website: “The song is about losing someone you love and you are at that stage when you are going through the motions. This is what the lyrics of the song implies as mentioned in the first stanza of the song”
According to Tommy James in an interview:
“As to the choice of words, it just so happens that red is James’ favorite color and the clover his favorite flower and that it came to him spontaneously. When James was interviewed by Songfacts, he said:
“They were just two of my favorite words that came together. Actually, it was one morning as I was getting up out of bed, and it just came to me, those two words. And it sounded so poetic. I had no idea what it meant, or if it meant anything. They were just two of my favorite words. And Mike Vale and I – bass player – actually wrote another song called ‘Crimson and Clover.’ And it just wasn’t quite there. And I ended up writing ‘Crimson and Clover’ with my drummer, Pete Lucia, who has since passed away.”
Taken from this website:
Listen to the lyrics, E.C.

I remember those dreams in withdrawals. Most vivid colors I’ve ever seen and characters right out of a Grim’s Fairy Tales book. Everything I had ever done was done to me in my dreams. Didn’t stop til I had repented of everything.

Does a fourth turning have to end in disaster or just change, whether it be positive or negative?
Right now if feels pretty painful. You should live north of the line right now. It’s fugly, to say the least. But it’s also crumbling under the weight of its own insanity.
Massive change is coming. You might even call it an awakening.

I love that line…
It sums up the game.
RiNS- That is a good example of the one eye covered (Eye of Horus) that I referenced above. I almost expect to see that in music videos every time, in some form.
Once you start looking it’s everywhere!
Yup……
Ya know RiNS, if you want to see a monthly collection of those examples plus lots of devil salutes just go to the top tool bar on VIGILANT CITIZEN (Pics of the Month). Selena Gomez fans will love it.

Gas masks on the dancers, people symbolically dropping dead, virus’s that cause people to drop dead. Israeli flag on the back of one of the dancers. People all over the world beginning to wear masks everywhere. There is more, but it’s too time consuming for me to put together. Take my word, this was planned. Some of us including you,already knew that.
I’m behind in the symbolism because I hate puzzles.
the virus is just more fear porn. our masters are control freaks. when you see their useful idiots deserting the ship, you will know it is real. just another control program. to let a real killer disease out would mean losing control. i enjoy your writing. what is real, will be the over reaction to the virus. this is a test to see if people can be fooled.
candy, I was talking about the similar control freak personalities of Gates and Zuckerberg. Nobody gave a hoot. So, good luck getting a response to your comment.
“A crisis where life or death hangs in the balance will force people to focus on the spiritual aspects of life and make choices about what kind of world they want to leave for future generations.”
Indeed, and those choices will hinge on racial loyalty and the final rejection of “diversity” and “multiculturalism,” the biggest lie in history, perpetrated by The Tribe.
Bravo Admin. Still the undisputed Champ! Iron sharpens Iron and all that.

Mnuchin will say “BUY ALL THE THINGS”
Cheer up. Still so very much to smile about.
“Will the Deep State and their pliable servants utilize standard fear mongering techniques to further enslave a populace insufficiently capable of distinguishing reality from make believe?” As much as I hate to say it, my guess is “yes, unfortunately for all.”
About the same time (40 years ago) I bought a volume of Koestler (I think it’s buried in the bedroom, but I read it at the time). The cashier picked it up and said “you know, he’s one of the bad guys.” I looked at him with amusement, and bought the book.
It makes moar sense when you consider that the “we” are demonic spirits in the world and even moar sense when you recognize that all the banking, corporate, and government policies are geared to destroy humans and not help humans.
I thought you put that very well. Kudos, Mr. Jimbo!
“It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind”
Bernays would know. That Jewish nephew of Sigmund Freud was hired by the Creel Commission to turn the American psyche against everyone and everything German so they would no longer object to American entry into WW1 on the side of Britain. This was a subterfuge quid pro quo for the Balfour Declaration.
After the war Big Tobacco hired him to sell American women on the hipness of smoking.
Bravo Admin, and thank you so much for your unending support and wonderful wisdom described in your most excellent exposé. I too have discovered and acknowledge the spiritual need in all of our suffering humanity. I hope and pray that fellow travellers will join our happy band and find solace in new discoveries.
And speaking of the spirit in the body, this book is amazing in its revelations and is a good adjunct to the Bible (which is the inspired word of Jehovah):
The Police are amazing (the band of course as well).
The lyrics of “The Psychedelic Furs” – The Ghost in You…. equally amazing and points to that we all know and yet cannot remember.
Hey folks, it’s LEHMAN PART II Today!
