“The next Fourth Turning is due to begin shortly after the new millennium, midway through the Oh-Oh decade. Around the year 2005, a sudden spark will catalyze a Crisis mood. Remnants of the old social order will disintegrate. Political and economic trust will implode. Real hardship will beset the land, with severe distress that could involve questions of class, race, nation and empire. The very survival of the nation will feel at stake. Sometime before the year 2025, America will pass through a great gate in history, commensurate with the American Revolution, Civil War, and twin emergencies of the Great Depression and World War II.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning
“There is no darkness but ignorance. The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.” William Shakespeare
I read The Fourth Turning in 2006, after seeing it described in John Mauldin and Doug Casey’s newsletters as an uncannily accurate assessment of American history based upon generational configurations which recur on eighty-year cycles, a long human life. Strauss and Howe wrote the book in 1997 and used their generational theory to predict the Crisis that would begin in the mid-2000’s and come to an indeterminate climax in the mid-2020’s.
As a student of history, the theory spoke to me. I have been writing articles since 2009, using the Fourth Turning as a guide to interpreting what has been happening and what might happen as this crisis period accelerates towards its violent culmination. The quotes above perfectly capture exactly what has happened since this crisis began in September 2008, with the Fed/Wall Street created financial collapse. The existing social order is disintegrating, but they are willing to destroy the country rather than relinquish their wealth, power and control.
Strauss & Howe identified the core elements of this Crisis as debt, civic decay, and global disorder. No one can argue the severe distress engulfing the nation and the world traces its origins to these core elements, with the catalyst for this Crisis being the 2008 central banker manufactured financial collapse. Nothing has been normal since 2008. And 2008’s epic implosion was driven by the disastrous financial, political and military decisions implemented by the puppets of the Deep State from 2000 onward, with the Federal Reserve obligingly creating bubble after bubble as the “solution” to the previous bubble.
And now we are here again, in the midst of the greatest bubble in the history of mankind. A bubble of willful ignorance. The obliviousness of most Americans to the danger awaiting them is akin to the day before Fort Sumpter was bombed, the day before Pearl Harbor was attacked, or the dinosaurs unaware of a giant meteor rushing towards the planet and about to transform their future in a challenging way.
Real hardship has beset the land, for those not in the .1% or Deep State lackeys being rewarded for propagating mistruths, outright lies, fear, and propaganda on behalf of their oligarch benefactors. These apparatchiks mainly consist of corrupt politicians, central bank lackeys, mainstream media hacks, neocon warmongers, surveillance state traitors, and big pharma captured health “experts”. The severe distress does involve class, race, nation and empire, but most of the distress has been artificially created by those pulling the strings – Bernays’ invisible government manipulating the masses.
As the looming election advances like a deadly avalanche crashing down a mountainside towards an unsuspecting village below, a battle wages between an evil ingrained establishment and a few dedicated patriots of truth. If you don’t feel the very survival of the nation hangs in the balance, then you are either delusional, willfully ignorant, or unwilling to recognize your own cognitive dissonance. The next five to ten years will alter the course of history in a profound way. Whether the outcome is positive for average American citizens is very much in doubt.
“Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted. That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.” – Aldous Huxley
I wish it were not so, but most human beings seem incapable of critical thought regarding how history follows a cyclical path due to human nature retaining its flaws, weaknesses, vulnerabilities and fortes throughout history. We believe we have advanced because our inventions, discoveries, and technology, but the desire for wealth, power and control over others still consumes a sociopathic portion of mankind who tend to rise to the top through any means necessary.
As Huxley lamented in the 1950’s, technological progress has actually propelled mankind backwards in terms of its humanity and relationship with nature and other human beings. The very technology we glorify as an example of our advancement is now being used by the totalitarians to imprison us. It has happened slowly and methodically over decades as generation after generation have entered the government indoctrination centers (public schools) to be taught ignorance and obedience to the state. This indoctrination has been reinforced by ceaseless propaganda injected into their brains by media conglomerates doing the bidding of the state.
The dystopian use of disinformation, false narratives, blatant lies and propaganda by the totalitarians constituting the Deep State, as their never-ending coup attempt against a duly elected president attests, will be the catalyst for the next vicious phase of this Fourth Turning. For the last four years the Russiagate coup has dogged Trump, as Obama, Clinton, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Mueller and a myriad of lesser co-conspirators have propagated the Big Lie to cover-up their traitorous actions of trying to overthrow Trump.
An honest truth-seeking press with unbiased journalists would have uncovered this conspiracy and revealed the truthful facts to a concerned public. Instead, a completely captured corporate media has turned a blind eye to the truth as they have acted as accomplices of the coup culprits. Just as evil is the suppression of truth through censorship and keeping silent regarding the truth. Huxley understood how totalitarian propagandists operated decades before the current batch of Silicon Valley authoritarians initiated their national truth repression scheme.
“Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects… totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.” – Aldous Huxley
A perfect example of this is my local ABC news affiliate doing an hour long broadcast last night with absolutely no mention of the Hunter Biden – Joe Biden pay for play scandal. The truth dies in silence. The left-wing media dominated by six mega-corporations and social media billionaire titans (Bezos, Zuckerberg, Dorsey) have colluded with other left wing billionaires (Soros, Bloomberg) and the traitorous Deep Staters (Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Clinton) to bring down a sitting president and now to memory hole proof of Joe Biden corruption and his son’s illegal dealings with foreign enemies.
These anti-rational propagandists are enemies of freedom, as they systematically pervert reality and knowingly manipulate the minds of the masses towards how they require them to think, feel and act. After years of socialist indoctrination in government schools and universities, the masses have been taught to feel rather than think. Victimhood is celebrated, while personal responsibility is scorned.
The truth has been revealed, to those capable of critical thinking since the onset of this engineered pandemic fear exercise in March 2020. We have segued from the soft tyranny of Huxley’s Brave New World towards the harsh tyranny of Orwell’s 1984. As the leftist oligarchs have unleashed their ANTIFA and BLM terrorists in cities across America in “mostly peaceful protests”, as proclaimed by the Big Brother media, ignorance is strength rings true across our dystopian landscape.
I’m amazed by the extreme level of ignorance exhibited by a vast swath of our population, as they glory in believing comforting mistruths which confirm their preordained belief structure. They don’t know because they don’t want to know. They are intoxicated by the endless stream of idiocy emanating from their iGadgets, as they willfully choose ignorance over awareness, servitude over freedom, and captivity over liberty.
As Huxley predicted, the controlling oligarchy has used technology to convince people to love their servitude, while unthinkingly believing what they are told by their government and media mouthpieces, doing the bidding of the government and oligarchs who control the government. The goal of the ruling class is to keep people from thinking, and most willingly oblige because thinking is hard and the uncomfortable truths are too much to bear for the satiated masses.
But there is a minority who want the truth and are willing and able to deal with the consequences. They realize facts don’t cease to exist because we ignore them. Facts don’t care about your beliefs or feelings. Facts lead you to the truth. And the immense coverup of facts over the last ten months as we approach this historically important election boggles the mind of every critical thinking person on the planet.
This clearly coordinated effort to mislead the public regarding our dire financial plight, the truth about this overblown flu, the true facts about the Russiagate coup attempt against Trump, and now the massive Joe Biden/Hunter Biden corruption scandal coverup, has taken on a new level of malevolence and deceitfulness. The duplicitous nature of the measures taken by the social media tyrants to control the narrative and dictate what the people must believe will climax in a violent response by those unwilling to accept their plot to overthrow the government and shredding of the U.S. Constitution.
We are now living in a world where so called “experts” declare the science is settled regarding the spread of Covid, the efficacy of masks, the need for lockdowns to slow the spread, the requirement for a vaccine to cure Covid, the danger of HCQ, the fallacy of herd immunity and the fact we will never return to normal again. If anyone dares to question the approved Covid narrative, they will be attacked by MSM talking heads, de-platformed by Twitter and Facebook, called a murderer by the thousands of Karens patrolling social media, and possibly lose their jobs. When straight talking brilliant doctors, like Dr. Scott Atlas, use facts to blow up the approved narrative, he is attacked by the MSM and social media hyenas. Facts don’t matter when fear is the preferred method of herding a nation of sheep.
Even though 99.7% of those who contract Covid will not die, with most not even knowing they had it, the pandemic promoters (Gates, Big Pharma, Trump haters, Democrats, Left-wing media) continue to exaggerate the threat and scare a country into a Depression. This coordinated charade has been instituted as a cash grab by the ruling oligarchy, a coverup for the Fed rescuing a collapsing financial system, and an effort to dispose of Trump after the failed impeachment coup.
Even though, prior to this engineered pandemic, CDC documentation unequivocally declared masks useless in stopping the spread of viruses and numerous other studies by respected institutions confirmed this conclusion (you know – science), masks (muzzles) are now required to conform to state dictate under penalty of arrest. Even though thousands of scientists and doctors have said lockdowns don’t work, politicians continue to destroy the lives of their citizens by tyrannically closing down their cities and states. For what true purpose?
Even though Hydroxychloroquine plus zinc has proven to drastically reduce the effects of Covid if taken early in the illness, costs only a few dollars per dose, has been used safely for decades in dealing with malaria, and has the support of thousands of doctors, it was declared unsafe by the health agencies controlled by Big Pharma and politically motivated health care hack bureaucrats who care more about defeating Trump than saving lives. Why support a drug that only costs a few bucks when Big Pharma can roll out treatments that cost a few thousand dollars and don’t provide better outcomes than HCQ and zinc? There are profits to be made and stock prices to support. That’s the real science going on here.
The hit job stories from the NYT, Washington Post and other left-wing media about how Sweden would suffer death on a grand scale by not requiring masks, not locking down their country, and not closing schools were being written at a torrential pace in the Spring and Summer. They continue today as they attempt to discredit Dr. Scott Atlas because he is taking a realistic balanced approach to the virus.
Sweden’s death rate was in the middle of the pack in Europe and they achieved herd immunity by the Fall. Their cases are minuscule and deaths virtually nil. Meanwhile, the European lockdown countries are now experiencing a surge of new cases and locking down again. Sweden was right, but the compliant captured press maintains silence about their success, because silence about the truth maintains their Big Lie. If they can convince everyone to believe the lie, it becomes the truth.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth.” – George Orwell, 1984
So, we are less than two weeks out from the election and the outcome, no matter who wins, will likely ignite a raging firestorm that will make the California wildfires look like a flickering matchstick. As we have supposedly made tremendous advancements in science and technology, reality proves we have merely achieved a more efficient means of going backwards.
The intoxication from earlier successes of science and technology have devolved into a gruesome morning after hangover of deteriorated outcomes, now threatening to imprison masked Americans in an electronic gulag of forced vaccinations and digital currency. The social media billionaire moguls, in conjunction with the Wall Street owned Federal Reserve, and sociopathic political operatives will mandate compliance regarding medical, financial and political decrees or you will be demonetized and cut-off from the ability to transact – essentially living in an electronic prison camp.
Based on the Fourth Turning generational theory, there is no doubt Donald Trump is the prophet generation Grey Champion. The term Grey Champion does not mean they are a great, noble, humane person. Ben Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt were not nice guys. They did whatever they thought necessary to achieve their means during our previous three Fourth Turnings. Millions of Americans hated Lincoln and Roosevelt, just as tens of millions hate Trump.
The Grey Champion’s appearance marks the arrival of a moment of “darkness, and adversity, and peril,” as the violent turmoil climax of the Fourth Turning approaches. Trump and Pence are from the Prophet (Boomer) Generation, while Biden is from the Silent Generation and Harris is Generation X. At this stage of the Fourth Turning a transfer of power to a Silent generation leader would not make sense. Trump is the lightning rod for a clash that must take place to sweep away the existing corrupted social order and replace it with something new.
Every four years we hear the same pablum about this being the most important election of our lifetime. No matter who wins this election, the Deep State, Military Industrial Complex, Wall Street controlled Federal Reserve, Big Business, Big Pharma, Big Media, Silicon Valley Titans, and Billionaires like Soros, Bloomberg and Gates will still be running the show. One man has extraordinarily little chance of confronting these wealthy power-hungry sociopaths and winning.
It remains to be seen whether the Grey Champion can ignite a civil uprising against the powerful forces of totalitarianism engulfing the country and the world. They will not be stopped through the ballot box. They had successfully convinced a willfully ignorant populace to love their servitude and acquiesce to allowing them unfettered control over their lives. But, the tyrannical lockdowns, martial law like mandates from bureaucrats, compulsory masking as a requirement to be accepted in society, and the dehumanizing of our daily lives has created a Resistance, peaceful thus far, who are enraged by what is happening.
These are the critical thinkers, non-maskers, no-lockdowners, no vacciners, unwilling to kneel before the altar of Fauci, Gates, WHO, CDC, MSM and tyrannical sociopathic politicians like Cuomo, Newsome and Whitmer. These dissidents and doubters are most certainly a minority, but it was only a minority who carried the load during the American Revolution.
They are heavily armed, but it will require stealth, guile and intelligence to defeat the entrenched establishment. The weakness of these sociopaths is their arrogance and hubris. When they make mistakes during the coming conflict, they must be made to pay heavily. Those with their eyes wide open know what is happening. But, as Huxley asked over sixty years ago, do enough people think it is worth the fight to stop our drift towards totalitarian control?
“Do we really wish to act upon our knowledge? Does a majority of the population think it worthwhile to take a good deal of trouble, in order to halt and, if possible, reverse the current drift toward totalitarian control of everything?” – Aldous Huxley
The last week of MSM hyperbolic vitriol towards Trump; censorship of all dissenters about the Covid narrative by the social media tyrants; the purposeful increase in testing to all-time highs in order to generate more cases; ignoring the plunge in Covid related deaths; seeing “neutral” journalists question Trump like he is on trial at Nuremberg while lobbing underhanded softballs to Biden like he’s a four year old (his dementia riddled brain tells him he is four years old); and seeing the MSM tout polls showing a Biden landslide just as they did in 2016, leads me to believe Trump is going to win re-election in November.
It may take weeks, there will be rampant fraud in trying to swing the vote to Biden, and it could end up in the Supreme Court, but I believe Trump will win. The deplorables are seething with an inner rage which will be released on November 3. While the election is being contested, shockingly, ANTIFA and BLM will again begin burning down cities. It was fascinating how it had all stopped when polls showed the riots having a negative impact on Biden and his Democrat cohorts. The time frame between November 3 and January 20, when the president is supposed to be sworn in, guarantees to be tumultuous, dangerous, and fraught with potential peril.
I do not believe either side will accept the outcome of the election and will treat the victor as illegitimate. Once that mindset gains control, only violent conflict can result. The myriad of potential outcomes is too vast to comprehend. What we do know is Fourth Turnings always accelerate and intensify towards a bloody finale, with clear winners and losers.
Unconditional surrender will be demanded by those maintaining the upper hand. Whether this coming conflict remains domestic or spreads internationally, the “advancements” in the technology of destruction will endanger every human being on the planet. You cannot escape the impact of Fourth Turnings, only survive and/or do your part in helping achieve a positive outcome. There is no predetermined ending.
“The risk of catastrophe will be very high. The nation could erupt into insurrection or civil violence, crack up geographically, or succumb to authoritarian rule. If there is a war, it is likely to be one of maximum risk and effort – in other words, a total war. Every Fourth Turning has registered an upward ratchet in the technology of destruction, and in mankind’s willingness to use it.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning
When pondering the possible outcomes of this Fourth Turning, we tend to be drawn towards the negative, because a positive outcome seems so unlikely given the current animosity roiling the country. If you step back and realize all the hate and conflict is being engineered and coordinated by a ruling class of powerful rich men, then average Americans could organize a new paradigm that honors the original intent of the U.S. Constitution, allowing citizens the liberty and freedom to create voluntary associations based upon common interests at a local level.
The ruling oligarchs find this unacceptable, so this freedom must be wrested away from them by any means necessary. There is a civil war already underway, but only one side is fighting – the billionaire class who not only don’t want to relinquish some power, but want total control over every aspect of our lives. I believe this election will turn this one-sided silent war into a hot war.
Rather than wallowing in doom and the worst-case scenarios, we should be trying to figure out how to reorganize our nation going forward, after the billionaire oligarchs are defeated. As I was trying to go back in time to see when I wrote my first Fourth Turning article, I came across an article I wrote in 2010 – Brave New World 2010.
At the end of the article I noted the wisdom and practicality of Aldous Huxley’s advice on how to restructure our society, from his 1958 book Brave New World Revisited. This should be a template for restructuring our way of life if we want a sustainable future. I am not optimistic we have the fortitude, wisdom, courage and will to choose Huxley’s suggested path:
-
-
- As recent history has repeatedly shown, the right to vote, by itself, is no guarantee of liberty. Therefore, if you wish to avoid dictatorship by referendum, break up modern society’s merely functional collectives into self-governing, voluntarily cooperating groups, capable of functioning outside the bureaucratic systems of Big Business and Big Government.
- If you wish to avoid the spiritual impoverishment of individuals and whole societies, leave the metropolis and revive the small country community, or alternately humanize the metropolis by creating within its network of mechanical organization the urban equivalents of small country communities, in which individuals can meet and cooperate as complete persons, not as the mere embodiments of specialized functions.
-
Huxley’s prescription of re-humanizing our country and voluntarily choosing where we want to live and who we want to associate with in small enclaves is how many rural communities already function. We can either willingly choose this path peacefully, or we will be left with this as our only option after our modern world self-destructs during the violent cataclysm, following the crashing of our Ponzi scheme debt saturated economic system.
The American Empire is clearly in rapid decline and may not survive the trials and tribulations over the coming decade. The Fourth Turning is not a prophecy, but should be taken as a warning and call to action. Sitting this out and hoping for the best will not help achieve a positive outcome. Tragedy or triumph – the choices we make will matter. The climax of this Fourth Turning may be a few years off, but the battle for the soul of America begins on November 3.
“History offers no guarantees. Obviously, things could go horribly wrong – the possibilities ranging from a nuclear exchange to incurable plagues, from terrorist anarchy to high-tech dictatorship. We should not assume that Providence will always exempt our nation from the irreversible tragedies that have overtaken so many others: not just temporary hardship, but debasement and total ruin. Losing in the next Fourth Turning could mean something incomparably worse. It could mean a lasting defeat from which our national innocence – perhaps even our nation – might never recover.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning

I’ve got to get that shirt. Is it for sale somewhere?
I got the picture from Martin Armstrong’s site. Not sure if he sells them.
Jim Quinn must feel like an Old Testament prophet. His message is alarmingly true and incredibly accurate but, sadly, widely ignored.
That’s ok. It’s not tilting at windmills.
Though they were often hated and shunned the prophets carried on delivering the message.
It is right and just that he continues.
Thanks for another brilliant colimn Mr. Quinn.
Standing ovation for Jim Quinn. Godspeed to all of us. And as the Casablanca hero said to Rick: “Welcome to the fight.”

He’s writing for the Remnant. Nice article, Jim.
I have to hand it to you, your instincts regarding the 4th Turning have proved uncannily prescient. Further, your commitment to the project, using it as the foundation of a generous amount of articles, has proven to be a masterful strategy.
When combined with efforts to set up and defend a space to present such interpretations to any who would come, free of charge, of free will, earns you a hallowed spot in the light of Liberties torch. Irregardless of the outcomes.
Thank you, Godspeed through this climax.
.” Irregardless”
Is that some kind of insider term ?

Speaking of which, Google has been predicting sentences for awhile now.

In this light, irregardless is far less offensive, no?

I thought this was an interesting observation, and I hope it’s correct:
Trump and Pence are from the Prophet (Boomer) Generation, while Biden is from the Silent Generation and Harris is Generation X. At this stage of the Fourth Turning a transfer of power to a Silent generation leader would not make sense.
When we come out of this shit-storm and begin a new cycle that includes optimism, I think some of Ron Paul’s writings will be part of it. My impression of his work has been it’s a how to manual for a rebuild. While I supported him, I never believed the libertarian way could be moved to gradually and knowingly by enough people to make it happen. Our current system has become too corrupt with too many people profiting from or living off the force of government on other people.
Another great piece Admin!
If Ron Paul’s writings will guide the next cycle, they’ll need to be preserved through “the shit-storm” first. Is somebody in charge of that?
Something to consider is that if Biden becomes president that means we don’t know the true leader because they are concealed. That’s the deep state. Biden is just a puppet slowly decaying before our eyes.
It’s there if you know where to look:
Once could be a mistake, but this is the third documented slip-up implying that Harris is planned for the Presidency.
Add this to the video of Kamala talking about the “Harris administration”:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kamala-harris-accidentally-touts-plans-in-a-harris-administration-during-virtual-roundtable
and yet another video of Sleepy Joe mentioning the “Harris – Biden administration”:

Whew. Reading this piece was a physical exertion. Great writing, Admin.
The ever perceptive Hans Herman Hoppe is quoted saying societies will turn extreme authoritarian or completely decentralized. The thinking here now leads me to guess we get both: Authoritarian; then as small cells learn self-sufficiency and link with other small cells to each other’s mutual advantage, decentralization. I’m already back to the land and have linked up with right-minded neighbors. I think of us as “The Remnant” because an awful lot of bodies are going to wash up to the shore in the process.
Years ago, while gathering up facts, as clues, from epic articles like the one above I ended up here. I’m still here.
Thank you, Jim, and The Man With No Name, for daily maintaining the site. But, more than that, thank you for the words that serve as a beacon to the like-minded to congregate around and discuss.
What I find comforting about The Fourth Turning as a conception, is how it identifies predictable cycles as seasons. The grand inevitability of such a societal/generational sea change can only be accepted with a certain amount of humility – which is a good thing for me, personally. We can’t stop the rain. All we can do is don our gear and shore up our allegorical umbrellas.
What we do next, at any given time, is all that matters.
That is exactly how I came here. I had a thirst for the truth,and was led here.I have never left.
“You cannot escape the impact of Fourth Turnings, only survive and/or do your part in helping achieve a positive outcome. There is no predetermined ending.”
Something to remember when the shit seems to get overwhelming as long as I’m still breathing & able to stand.
A variation-on-a-theme NSDAPesque Night of The Long Knives or Soviet-style Show Trials could very well be on the coming attractions menu for 2021.
Then there are The Evil Fuckers; Auntie eagerly wants to see their comeuppance. And sooner not later.
They fucking damn well deserve it.
Auntie…take heart…American’s are buying millions of guns for a reason. Let’s hope that rope will be in short supply soon enough .
That is what their entrails are for.

But in order to have an electronic prison camp, you must first have electrons whizzing down the wires and into the vast machines that enslave us all. Power plants don’t run on thin air, the way the banks do. Power companies must convert various forms of energy from Nature into electricity and in a form that we can use.
There is no way to instantly convert enough of the present day financial system over to digital “currency” to keep the power lines humming. Men and women must be paid to do those dangerous jobs that make it possible for you to get light or neat at the flip of a switch. The companies that sell the power companies fuels must get paid in a manner that allows them to pay their workers, or the workers will not show up to work! Do you see how intertwined this web we call society is woven now?
Soon now, the derivatives market (100% scam) will have to implode due to not enough support for it. About 27% of various loans in some parts of NY and NJ are in default, but the banks declare interest payments as being made on them, which is a total lie. When the banks cannot create enough fictitious electronic bookkeeping entries upon their accounts to keep their doors open, they will have to go out of business and close their doors. What will the people who had accounts there do then, but wail and gnash their teeth? The electricity is the key to keeping civilization as it is, going into the future. Cut that off, and you will see a sudden mass die off many times worse than the Black Plague.

The current Emperor's uncle John was an electrical engineer with MIT:
[An MIT biography of John Trump reads, “John G. Trump, 1907-1985, BS in electrical engineering, 1929, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn; MA 1931, Columbia University; ScD in electrical engineering, 1933, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), became a research associate at MIT in 1933, assistant professor in 1941, and professor in 1952.”
The New Yorker describes John Trump as a “brilliant scientist” who “was at M.I.T. for decades” and who helped develop X-ray machines that helped extend the lives of cancer patients. “Trump was involved in radar research for the Allies in the Second World War, and in 1943 the F.B.I. had enough faith in his technical ability and his discretion to call him in when Nikola Tesla died in his room at the New Yorker Hotel, in Manhattan, raising the question of whether enemy agents might have had a chance to learn some of his secrets before the body was found,” wrote the New Yorker, in a passage driving a lot of the conspiracy theories.
There was fear, the New Yorker reports, that Tesla was developing a “death ray.” In a report, the magazine notes, Professor Trump doused speculation that Tesla was working on something big. Tesla is well-known for his interests in time travel, and therein, a conspiracy theory was born.]

Obamas regime pushed this class and race warfare stuff and it still continues today. Hillary talked about accepting the election results during a debate and then decided to not accept the election results and we have had problems with people on the left not accepting the traditional transfer of power ever since Trump was elected. now she tells old Joe not to accept the election results. I can see all kinds of problems with the Democrats and no reasons to support them. I guess half the country is blind and deaf.
Just wait until Trump wins again. It’s the folks on the left that will cause more problems.
“It remains to be seen whether the Grey Champion can ignite a civil uprising against the powerful forces of totalitarianism engulfing the country and the world.”
If Trump is this man, He can guarantee it’s ignition by just neutralizing half the Pentagons local air power and make it known and keep the other half from making mischief oversees. Serious conservatives I interact with know what happens to insurgencies that are at the mercy of opposing air power in modern warfare. They don’t need it to win they just need it reasonably suppressed as a force against them.
“At the end of the article I noted the wisdom and practicality of Aldous Huxley’s advice on how to restructure our society, from his 1958 book Brave New World Revisited. This should be a template for restructuring our way of life if we want a sustainable future.”
If we want to use this as a starting point, fine but there needs to be a starting point that is actually doable to use as a meme for those who are investing their skins and families skins in an uprising or the effort will be wasted.
Xrugger, Lpoh and I warned about revolutions with no viable replacement system in mind but could not generate any discussion.
The Chinese allegedly have 9 electrical grid junctions targeted for a first strike to paralyze the country. Why wait for them to do it. The grid is their friend, not ours.
I’m glad to hear talk of action instead of discussing symptoms ad nauseum.
Nine sappers with .50 BMG rifles loaded with Raufus rounds can do the same thing. Done right, there is no fingerprint, no one to blame.
How about a few thousand people showing up in front of Google or Fecesbook, Twitter etc. and fire two magazines each randomly at their buildings? That would be a watershed and let these dilettante fooks know what kind of price they will pay if they don’t quit the agitprop and support of terrorists.
I was thinking C-4, but you’ve got the right idea.
Flea, its a good point on Air Power, but as important, really an extension of, Space Power.
No, not Xwing fighters, but definitely the satellites, control of the top keeps moving up.
Also, the point of whats next is key and I always agree wholeheartedly. Stillborn is worse than what we have, and there are ample historical demonstrations.
Division is key in preventing revolutionary consensus. Exactly why we are awash in it right now.
Otto.
Right. If we have to do what we are talking about, then the cost of parasite removal will devastate most of the on ground satellite infrastructure anyway. In our new and impoverished condition we could make do with leasing satellite time like other countries when the smoke clears. Whatever we replace the government with we’d be insane to recycle the constitution nationally.
We’ve let this go too far to hope for most of our infrastructure to be intact when it’s over.
Great summation of the situation at hand. Be not afraid. We have many allies.
You can get 1,000 feet of barbed wire for the price of a box of ammo. Be creative.
Excellent. I think Trump is the Gray Champion as well. That’s one reason I think he’ll win.
After the election, he should invoke the Insurrection Act and start rounding up the Social Marxists and those funding them and start charging them all with sedition, and government officials involved should be charged with treason as well. That’s how you put a stop to it.
Why wait until after the election? He’s had 4 years and done nothing.
TC
SShhhsh, you’ll cost him the soccer moms and independants with that kind of talk. Don’t you realize the severity of this upcoming “Selection” charade.
Because there will be more of it after the election, more intense, which will have people clamoring for “safety.” But he has to do it anyway because, well, it’s an insurrection. You can’t let it keep going.
it’s obvious that he just started and he cannot scream loud. Build trust, right? Know your enemy.
You demand him to break the door to the White House with his shoe and ask at the very beginning. “Who should I fuck, where is Deep state ?!”
TrumpSupporeter ?
Your nom de plume lends explanation to your claim about the TC comment
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <<——-===
The Grey Champion is conceptually a bit fuzzy for me. Maybe Trump is, but I still can’t tell if he actually believes what he says or just likes the attention. Maybe his motives don’t matter. I dont see his actions to date to be equivalent to the burning of Atlanta by Lincoln or confiscation of the nations gold/wealth by Roosevelt.
Did Lincoln start with the burning of Atlanta.
No, he did not.
It was climatic, and I hope you dont judge the last 4 years to be climatic, shit is just getting going.
Pace yourself.
Absolutely right, VV. I think our President has learned a lot in his first term. I expect he will use his powers to the fullest in his 2nd term to drain the swamp and get rid of his Exec branch enemies.
I read yesterday he wants to add a section to Civil Service that allows him to get rid of the people obstructing him.
Was wondering where and how to submit an article. Have scrolled up and down the page and can’t find anything. Now I feel old and myopic!
Request that Admin make you a contributor. Then you just go to the Dashboard and click on ‘post new article’.
Email Admin at quinnadvisors.com and ask him for instructions. He’ll be glad to post it.

This is a brilliant and succinct read Admin and you have pulled all the threads together with such clarity about where the world and not only the US is potentially heading .
A lot of people don’t want too see the evil but I’ve also realised that just as many simply cannot ‘see’ it, they are utterly oblivious regardless of being at the mercy of this evil or the proof in front of their very eyes…the brainwashing has indeed been elegently done.
I have already resigned myself to the fact that I am probably going to have to fight, possibly physically, probably with armament, those who seek to destroy both my property and my entire town. I am one of many Americans who is ready to fight to the death, because I have nothing to lose if I am faced with the prospect of ceding my (taken as core belief) military oath otherwise.
This absolutely depends on the other side, the ones who believe they have the right to take what is not theirs now, and never has been or will be theirs, bringing their hostilities here. I am not abandoning my post and I’m damn sure not running. I am of the opinion whatever happens, it will not be a prolonged engagement; at least, not around these parts. The other side has the easy job — talking — done.
And I’m done talking.
Captain – One of the last conversations I had with my Mother was me telling her I fully expected to take up arms against the US government. Being part of the Greatest Generation, she was completely shocked. This was in ’99 and I could see the road we were headed down and what lay along the way.
No FEMA camp for me, unless they carry my cold body there to dispose of it. I hope there will be many opponents carried from my property, as well.
Once again its left to GenX to clean up the mess and preserve all that Medicare and defined benefit pensions for the people that got us here in the first place.
You’re welcome (again).
That said, not to disagree with the good article, but I see bigger cycles in history. E.g., Europe’s invasion by Indo-Europeans, the first wave of “Globalism” via the Greek diaspora throughout the eastern Mediterranean, the Roman Empire and the clientele power hierarchy / structure, and the age of the hereditary rule by Germans through nearly all of Europe. What I see happening is not so much as the minor cycles – the 4th turnings – but the coming end of the historical super-cycle and the end of rule by Germans and their dilution and replacement by Jews. This has been going on for several hundred years and was the result of the Jewish capture of the central banking system, the German preoccupation with war and conquest, and the consolidation of the Jewish central banking system into a cross ownership nexus that controls most of the world’s central banks. The power structure put in place with the fall of Rome and rise of the Germans is crumbling in our lifetime and rather than hoardes of Mongols, we have tribes of bankers who completely control everything about the creation and distribution of money throughout the world. There have been several 4th turnings during this slow motion macro-collapse and there may be another one or two before the transition is complete and 15 million rule over 700 million as in a similar ratio the Germans ruled during feudalism. People will serve whoever is paying, and when you control the flow of (fake) money you are destined to rule.
Half of GenX is in the ground thanks to abortion and anyone born after the early 70s isn’t really GenX, they’re just Millennials-lite. I wouldn’t count on GenX for much.
Your magic underwear isn’t going to help you. Maybe if you annoy your new overlords enough they will go away and leave you alone.
And you are a paid troll – no one spends that much time commenting on a website. Which org pays you to be stupid and annoying so you can poison the well?
Whatever you think of 22, and I agree the relentless evangelizing of the Mormon cult is annoying, he’s not a paid troll. I’ve met him, as did everyone who attended HSF’s 4th of July gathering in 2019. Funny, he never said a word about being a Mormon, not to me anyway.
He’s so relentless and ubiquitous I could only come to that conclusion. I think he needs a hobby or something else to busy himself with.
His religious ads overshadow how often he’s right. Much to the embarrassment of devout Replicrats and Trumplicans.
I guess Mormons don’t believe in “shaking the dust off of their sandals” and leaving us to be cursed, anymore. Wikipedia says that they used to live by that particular teaching of Jesus but it fell out of practice in the early 20th century.

a 10% tax free vig compounded over time adds up to a cool $100 billion in the bank.
Flea….
He does hit a lot of the same pegs…..
Haha….I’d change it just a bit to Replirats, as most all will jump from the Trumplican ship if she starts listing too much
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <<——==== they all want to set sail for the new order of the ages
I’ve been here since 2015 and being in NH myself I’ve wanted to meet him. He’s a different Winnie now. I remember him posting a photo of a firearm alongside a bottle of bourbon (I think) on a desk with a PC. But Mormons don’t consume alcohol.
Mormons are like Baptists with sex and booze. Have all you want but if you get caught don’t tell them you go to my church.
That’s one reason I left the Baptists. After I grew in that church, I realized I wasn’t Baptist after all. I don’t go to an official church now. They also don’t approve of dancing, yet host parties for the teens after the high school prom to “keep them out of trouble.”
Edit: The teens attending the prom and then the church get together afterwards are members of the church.
VV,
Some Baptists frown on adultery…because it often leads to dancing…just saying.
The old joke on one of the Cheech and Chong movies was “Why don’t baptist make love standing up?” with the answer,”People might think they are dancing”.
I’m with you. Can’t stand hypocrites. When I was 4 or 5 I begged my brother to take me to church with him. We lived way out on the Sou Indiana prarie and I had zero kids my age to play with. I had gone to Sunday school before and really liked it. He usually didn’t want me tagging along, because unbeknowst to them he hit the pool hall instead of all those “young christian meetings”. Other than that, Dad was always working on the farm on Sundays and Mom had decided she had a grudge against some woman at the local church. So we definitely were NOT church people.
Then, my parents decided in their 60’s they’d better get right with God. I had no problem with that, even voluntarily went to services with them for about a month. But my dear Mom started running her mouth about other women in the congregation and their physical attributes (fatt asses), and that their physicality had something to do with their mental standing (idiots).
So one Sunday morning they said “get ready” and I said “I ain’t goin'”. I had a motorbike (no license yet, age), and my Dad made me give up what he thought were all the keys, so I wouldn’t take off. Of course I had another key and as soon as they were out of sight I took off.
I about froze because it was February and about 28 degrees. So after a nice 3 hour ride, I went back home, and they never bugged me to go to church again. I’m a NDE survivor and am spiritual but no religious affiliation.
Personally, I would LOVE to know what you experienced. I’ve been doing NDE research recently.
If you’d rather not …. that’s perfectly understandable.
Book:
Crossing the Event Horizen.
Zap.
Decent section on NDE, combined with attendant philosophies.
About those catholics.
Wherever 4 catholics gather you’ll see a fifth.
Flea….do you know why Baptists don’t make love standing up ?
Because they don’t want anyone to think they’re dancing .
Opps…it’s further down the thread .
Could you summarize, simplify for a dumb old red neck? Thanks
I think he got hit in the head by a Kinderhook Plate.
There are more Gen X fighters, able to fight, with recent combat experience,living in America, today, than any other generational cohort.
From 2000 to 2010 Gen X was 20’s and 30’s, we did all of shooting and dying for peak sandbox. Afghanistan, Iraq. Do you think these were not serious theaters for war? Do you think the warfighting tactics there will be considerably different from here?
The Nomads will be critical in this 4th, just like every previous, they will lead the Hero’s on the ground, where shit happens, effecting the plans and tactics of the Prophets.
Thanks for your trite dismissal though, seemed well thought out, ill consider writing them off.
Yup. Nomad varsity squad.
Armstrong is predicting 2022 to be the year from hell, or maybe the start of hell in America……
Great article Jim, even if time is running short, it’s good to be as mentally prepared as possible for the shit show, thank you for all you do.
I’m surprised that there are intelligent, critical thinker/analysts who still believe Trump is not an integral and willing part of the swamp. The impotence of the deep state “coup” to remove Trump is only matched by Trump’s impotence in keeping any of his campaign promises from 2016.
So, Trump didn’t keep ANY 2016 campaign promises???
Whatever.
It’s amazing to see you got 6 upvotes for such a dumb comment. Just goes to show that the lack of critical thinking skills Admin mentions in the article is also alive and well even on TBP.
Go down the list of Trump’s 2016 headline promises and tell us what he’s done. Build the wall (and have Mexico pay for it?) Lock her up? Drain the swamp? End the trade deficit with China? Reduce the debt? Fix health care? Send all the illegals back? End the opioid crisis? End DACA? End H1B program? End funding for Planned Parenthood? End censorship of conservative voices on social media? National open carry/conceal carry reciprocity? Bring all the troops home? End carried interest loophole? Well, he did cut taxes for big companies so you got me on a technicality there. His signature accomplishments have been promotion of GloboHomo and releasing black felons from prison.
You seem to forget that Trump is not a king. He has to work with Congress. And that’s the problem. Not to mention all the lawsuits from Democrats, which appear before Democrats judges ruling against him, which then have to be appealed. And on and on.
I am a massive critic of the man, but even I know that no one person can run this shit show. Just ask the 9th circuit and the rinos. I will say this though, I dont think Trump had any clue of how much shit he was going to catch lol. Not to mention he has made some utterly absurd choices for cabinet members and agency heads. That tells me he is either naive or puts too much trust in the people “working” with him. Swamp roots run deep. As evidenced by every fucker he has fired or that has quit lol.
Just remember this: no one is coming to save you except you.
Well, what your list shows is that Trump is not done yet. Four more years!! And as Vixen correctly stated … he’s not a king. He’s been vehemently thwarted at every level by extremely powerful forces and elites.
Back in 2016 I stated three big reasons why I’m voting for Trump.
1. Supreme Court appointments — a slam dunk
2. An end to endless wars — no, the troops aren’t home but, you can thank the entire MIC for that. He kept us out of NEW wars … something no president has done in the last 20 years.
3. Curbing illegal immigration — no, the wall isn’t as long as he said it would be, and Mexico didn’t pay for it. However, he’s done a damned fine job keeping those massive migrations to a trickle.
Also,
— I think keeping us out of the TPP was huge.
— Replacing NAFTA was huge.
— Getting NATO to pony up an extra $70 Billion is pretty damned nice
— Saying ‘fuck you’ to all that climate $$$ bullshit was huge.
And that’s not the half of it. You’re no dummy, not by any means. Haven’t you ever googled “Trump Accomplishments”? The list is quite long.
Here is a short list.
https://herald-review.com/opinion/columnists/robert-mooth-trumps-list-of-accomplishments-lengthy/article_b258e508-df8a-557f-9376-40b846838486.html
Don’t forget he has drastically cut the H1B program. That’s one reason the tech companies are pissed at him. And the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has endorsed Biden because of it.
He’s also in a trade war with China. Remember “Made in America?” If the U.S. is not buying from China, the trade deficit goes down.
But as Stucky said, no new wars is a big one to me. And he’s planning to bring the troops home from Afghanistan by Christmas.
Including what Stucky outlined above, not bad considering all the opposition he’s faced.
Oh, and Trump is Angry Greta’s enemy, which suits me just fine.
Great comment.
Sincerely.
He didn’t really cancel Nafta. He just swapped one bad deal for another. USMCA.
Supreme Court?
Obama left with it tied 4-4. Two trump appointments later the Liberals have a 5-4 lead. Next week we will have a virtue signaling Spliv loving corporate shill to give them a 6-3 majority.
Nato’s 70 billion is chump change in terms of our budget.
But what the heck, we can forgive that because after all, he was put there to make Israel happy and not even Chucky Schumer questions his efforts to MIGA.
Stucky – as important as SCOTUS is, the Circuit Courts decide many more cases. Trump has now appointed 25% of them and that is in one term. I think Thomas and Breyer will be replaced in the next 4 years. If Harris becomes POTUS, we will be back to a 5-4 liberal majority when she replaces Thomas with a leftist.
There’s no cure for TDS.
It’s also hard for people to admit they were wrong, even when presented with facts.
Most of the self proclaimed “critical thinkers” here are just narcissistic morons parroting others.
In the end they’re just amusing themselves to death and being annoying while they do it.
You haven’t proven us wrong yet. You are certainly correct about the self proclaimed critical thinkers. You just fail to realize that’s you and your Trump loyalist buddies. It never once occurred to you just exactly what he was going to use to make america great again. We don’t even make our own weapons without Chines parts. Here’s where he is taking us while we worry about Dems and meaningless election kabuki.

I know, it’s “Trumps fault”
You’re debating two pitchers of kool-ade. Don’t spend your money on Zombies.
Trump ended DACA, but Roberts did not like the way he did it, so overturned the EO repealing an EO of 0bama. Score one for the establishment.
The wall is being built, even with all the obfuscations by the left.
He good buddy John McLame gave the thumbs down on 0bamacare repeal, score another one for the establishment.
Congress funds all programs, including PP. He has cut some reimbursements, but cannot cancel their funding.
For a man who has been fought every step of the way by the dems and never trumpers, he has done a passable job. He did fail to go after Hi LIAR y.
Trump’s guys intentionally botched the DACA repeal. The SCOTUS sent it back with a note on how to repeal it correctly, which Trump could easily do but hasn’t. Two new miles of garden fence has been built, and it’s so pathetic a guy can cut through it in 30 seconds with a sawzall. Trump signs these shitty, bloated budgets he’s sent by congress.
Trump is a carnival barker con man who fooled us all in 2016. Some of us have finally reached acceptance, some are in anger and some are still in denial. It’s OK, I don’t blame you guys for not coming to terms with reality yet.
So you’re voting for Biden?
We need to operate in the world we have, not some fantasy idealized world where everything is clear and perfect. If Trump was a phony, he would have run as a liberal Democrat. He would have knocked off Hillary, just like he knocked off Jeb!. He would have won in a landslide in the general election and been idolized by Hollywood, academia and the media. They would have added his image to Mt. Rushmore. His life would have been great. He knows all of this and he knew it when he came down the escalator.
Trump is doing what he is doing now out of principle and love of country… and just be glad he is on our side.
Bullshit, and screw you with your ‘”and don’t forget it”. Pound sand.
I changed it.
You want to know who’s side Trump is on? Here you go…
The fact that Trump bends over backwards for Israel is just absolute proof he’s really no different than ALL the rest of the Zio-compromised presidents. Look at at JFK– he was NOT on board with Israel pursuing nuclear weapons, Patton wanted to go after the ((Bolsheviks)) and James Forrestal was against the formation of the state of Israel. In a conversation with Eisenhower, Eisenhower remembered on several occasions, while he was Supreme Allied Commander, he had been visited by Forrestal, who carefully explained his thesis that the Communists would never cease trying to destroy all representative government. Eisenhower commented in his personal diary on 11 June 1949, “I never had cause to doubt the accuracy of his judgments on this point.”
Powerful Americans who crossed Israel seem to come to untimely, violent deaths ((somehow)).
I’m in the “willfully ignorant” camp. I surely do KNOW that we are on the Eve Of Destruction. Yet, I cling to that Hopey thing like flies on Pelosi’s hoo-hoo. Hoping that da Gooberment can kick the can down the croak until I croak. It’s a great plan.
The small community is the only answer. Lynette Zang and Catherine Austin Fitts have been preaching that strategy for a while, now. However, I don’t believe THEY would leave us alone with out a fight. THEY want us out of the rural areas and into the city. The prediction that the US will break up will probably come true. I don’t know how long we will have this kind of access to the internet but as long as we do, please keep writing. And thank you for not throwing in the towel already.
I hear you, MC. There is a real effort to “coerce” people out of the cities now only to eventually force them back in. If JQ throws in the towel, get out the smelling salts….
Very astute observations in this latest essay from our Admin Mr. Jim, here on TBP (where would we all be without this great place?)
My 2 cents:
it seems like we have a situation where the Banksters (who seem to control western civilization via central banks and their ponzy based fiat) are up against politicians who see no reason to re-pay the existing debt, and are hell bent on borrowing more until the whole system implodes.
in a world without honest money, this is the inevitable result, a system that is not accountable, and gets more unstable over time.
One groups want to own the world, the other wants to control it.
Both should be led out to pasture
and dispatched with out hesitation.
And make them both personally responsible for repayment of the debt. Ouch!
Yay! More Church Of Mormontology horse shit.
Most of us would like to have a fully formed plan of action in these times of trouble. But the nature of the enemy is hidden behind a smokescreen. Therefore, it is impossible at this stage to plan.
However, we can take daily action under the guidance of the the Stockdale Paradox: confront the brutal facts but never lose hope that you will prevail in the end.
Thank you Admin for helping us see the brutal facts through the mirky cloud of disinformation.
Kudos to our 2020 Thomas Paine.
I don’t think Trump is the Grey Champion, simply because this will not be over in 4 years.
I believe we are now at the point where the USSR was around 1990, and if we’re really lucky we will come out of the worst mess in 10 years, just like Russia when Putin came to power – including our hyperinflation along the way, and maybe also a break-up of the US.
That’s the very optimistic best case scenario, to me.
Worst case is something like described here.
The timelines are not set in stone. Remember, the War Between the States actually started sooner than the turnings projected because of so many stubborn hotheads. Things can be nipped in the bud and brought to a halt but probably after some bloodshed. Or it can be truly awful and go on for years.
The Grey Champion can be bad or good. And the outcome can be bad or good. There’s a lot of rhyming rather than exact repeating in the turnings.
So far, our country’s turnings have turned out bad (wars) but the Revolution was good for the country. The next two brought more war and more government intrusion. I’m hoping this was has a positive ending for once.
What are you trying to convey:
– That this turning’s low point will have been passed 4 years from now, or
– that a Grey Champion doesn’t have to still be in power until that low point arrives?
I mean Trump is doing his best to pull forward the ‘exposure of ultimate hypocrisy’ on all sides, but that will not be enough to set the country on (positive) auto-pilot for the years after him…
That Pence takes over in 4 years and continues, we can chalk up as wishful thinking.
Pence will never be president I guarantee it.
M
We, whoever that is, are going to add 10 trillion this year. Probably double next an so on. The Great Reset is in the open, the World Economic Forum has a tab on their website, BIS released their plan for a “New Brenton Woods”, the race is on for CBDC and China is 1st out of the gate with the G20 and the FED nipping at their heels.
This shit ain’t going to last beyond 4 more years without crisis.
We already had crisis, have crisis now, and will have much more crisis.
The question is when the turning point is reached and things point upward again…
Not within 4 years, IMPO, that will stretch out much longer.
Fair enough, we will see, things happen fast these days.
Enjoy the show!
Recently, I bought a Philly Cheese Steak from a Brooklyn Deli operated by an Asian guy. Ok 0 for 2. But what was really odd was the flat screen tv playing on in the background. I haven’t watched MSM (or any tv for that matter) in years, but just hearing the MSNBS anchors and reporters spewing the words Covid, Cases, Trump, Fault, Deaths, Masks, Distance, Lockdown, over and over and over and over again while I waited for my fauxi sub sandwich, it was no surprise seeing the masked, lifeless, drones passing by the store. If this is what they listen to, I’m not sure why they don’t hang themselves and be done with it.
See Bee. A great disappointment for me when I went to NYC looking at schools for my daughter in the 90’s was that the deli’s where I wanted to get a great pastrami or corned beef were no longer Jewish but Korean. Many of my regular haunts in the Boston area had a much better product.
We had family members who, in the 60’s would drive to NYC to bring back cheesecake. Is that still the best or has that also lost its 5 star rating?
Well, BL…you have to know where to go and where to go is not always where you think it will be.
As if we don’t have enough to worry about, now we have to worry about being on the Whitehouse enemies list as part of the emergency powers the President gets under a state of emergency. This article is tilted left, because the author doesn’t seem to worry about a senile boob like Biden having the same power if he were to win. He does, however take previous Democrat, and of course Republican, administrations to task. The current state of emergency we are living in expires on the 25th, I believe. Wanna bet it gets extended?
M C – Corrupt Creepy Old Joe is an empty suit and is only being used to usher in president Harris who will use whatever power she can muster to go after her enemies. I would not be surprised if FEMA camps were a major part of her plan.
WOW!!!
Great essay, Jim. Before visiting your site, I had never heard of the Fourth Turning and now feel like I have a pretty good understanding of this historical rhyme.
I, too, feel like Trump will prevail when the dust settles, but am completely worried about the 30 blocks being the defining location of this election. It is all going to hinge on PA for the win. Can the normies come out in large enough numbers to overcome the fraudulent ballots from Philly?
On the timeline, it should be noted that newly elected Representatives and Senators (except AZ) will take the oath of office on January 3, 2021. Should Kelly win AZ, he will take his oath as soon as the election is certified. In the case of a 269 – 269 tie, the newly convened Congress will vote on President.
If Trump is the Grey Champion and he wins, he will unleash the Kraken on his enemies. If he loses, he may do it during the lame duck term. The climax is coming soon.
“If Trump is the Grey Champion and he wins, he will unleash the Kraken on his enemies. If he loses, he may do it during the lame duck term. The climax is coming soon.”
In your quote above, the “if” and “may” just highlight the wishful thinking of Trump true believers like you. Just somewhere, on down the road, Trump is going to “release the Kraken.” Sure… One bright spot for you: “the climax is coming soon.” Oh, yes, it is.
No matter whether the next big winners are Team Red or Team Blue, spending will escalate, so will debts and deficits. Neither candidate is the correct answer to the spending problem.
We are past the spending problem. That ship sailed, there is no fixing the system.
The vote is for who steers us through the Reset
You are right, ottomatik.
Another excellent article from the Admin.
I have one detail to add. I feel the 4th Turning started August, 2007. It was on that month Ben Ber-Yank-Me was on national TV REPEATEDLY. He spoke about this concept of “too big to fail”. No idea what that meant but over the coming months, I and many others, learned it was to give as much taxpayer money
to prop up the criminal f&^k ups. We swamped the phone lines in the District of Criminals to stop it. To
no avail. The CongressCritters passed the hand outs 2x. And this is why the richest counties in the USA are next to D.C. They don’t produce anything….they consume. Like pin worms.
Had the same thought.
In hindsight the first serious credit/trust convulsions happened in August 2007, even though at the time I was completely oblivious to it (even while working in bank IT at the time!)
I am not so sure. The emperors clothes still looked fine to the mass populace throughout most of the 2010 decade. The fed reserve and other central banks papered over the catastrophe and it seemed to work. Feb 2020 seems much more like the turning point.
But it may take a couple of decades and hindsight to pinpoint a precise date.
Worse– like gorging, fat tapeworms. FIFY
What do you call a busload of totalitarian communist liberals flying off a cliff? A good start.
Whatever, dude. Your shtick has grown old. Go ‘way, now.
You in to totalitarian communist liberals? Sounds about right.
winnie,
pick one side or the other–we’re very close to being in a fight to the death–
if necessary i’ll take a queer like grenell or a philandering hypocrite like trump if it saves my family & country–
lighten up & go back to one of your other personalities–
Critical thinking needs to be applied to both sides of the political disinformation being spewed.
– The Q-Anon bullshit has been disproven many times over as conspiracy claptrap.
– The HCQ+zinc+AZT and Ivermectin+zinc+Doxy treatments have had solid science showing they are effective if given soon enough, but because Trump touted HCQ, and the Pharma industry can’t make billions on generics, the science has been politicized and discredited.
– While the Hunter Biden malfeasance story may end up being supported by real evidence, it’s veracity still needs to be proven. Plus, how is Hunter’s trading off daddy’s name any different than Trump’s nepotism-based Whitehouse?
– Mask-wearing has solid empirical evidence behind it. It is not just political bullshit. The whole idea that translated a medical precaution into a “muzzle” on free speech is beyond comprehension to anyone with critical thinking skills. Look at the study showing the huge difference in asymptomatic infection rates versus full-blown COVID (the actual disease) on cruise ships which masked up as soon as the first case was found versus no masking (81% asymptomatic when masked vs 18% with no mask mandate).
However, I don’t think Trump is the Grey Champion for anyone other than his own ego. Biden will likely not do anything along these lines either, but I fail to see how anyone with any critical thinking can support Trump after the last 4 years.
I agree the world needs to overthrow it’s corrupted institutions including Corporatism and statism (aka fascism) which are rapidly destroying the life support systems of our planet. I don’t have the solution, but the status quo will kill us all.
The first step to being a critical thinker is to be willing to let new evidence change your position if it disproves your hypotheses. You have to be willing to admit you were wrong and move on. Inflexible thinking just leads to all of the evils you are worried about.
You are absolutely right that the public schools, while critical for an informed citizenry and effective democracy, have failed miserable and have been corrupted by politics. Real debate and rhetoric education was dropped many years ago (even before I went to primary school in the 70s and 80s) and now, very few know how to think critically.
I am a libertarian, but not a radical one. There are many things we as individuals cannot address which require a government to deal with (infrastructure, protection of rights and property, protection of the commons, etc.). There has to be a balance between the individual and the society as a whole.
Let the trolling commence…
You’re Libertarian but you think government should handle infrastructure rather than private enterprise? Yet, you talk about corrupt government.
Protection of the commons? That’s completely against private property rights. We don’t live in Medieval England where the king owns everything. Every piece of land and every building should be owned by individuals, not government (except military bases and government buildings as outlined in the Constitution.) So where do your commons come from? Are you going to steal the land?
And if government weren’t so big, we’d have no problem protecting our rights. The Bill of Rights simply codifies our God-given rights. We don’t get them from the government. And so far, their protection of our rights leaves a lot to be desired.
Society is not my problem. I’m concerned with me and mine. If I want to help someone I will. I don’t need or want government forcing me to do so.
The basic problem is that we’ve never invented an economic or political system that wouldn’t eventually taken over by the sociopaths. Even with the best we’ve done, revolutions are required periodically to reset the system and unseat the maggots that have been attracted to the means of power.
I don’t have the time or energy to rebut in detail all your egregious mistakes. Instead, I will grade your mistakes with the word ‘shit’ in each grade.
OK, that’s some good shit right there

Man, oh man, are you ever a dumb shit!! Someone point this maroon to that excellent article about masks written by a guy who really knows his shit (I think it was from last week).
=====
Bat-shit crazy comparison … if you can’t see the qualitative and quantitative difference.
=====
You don’t know shit. If Admin says Trump is the Grey Champion … then Trump is the Grey Champion!!!!!
=====
So go vote for Biden. Let us know that works out for you, ya ignorant shit.
=====
That figures. You spew your shit but, at the end of the day, you don’t have shit to say.
Libertarians are Sheep in Liberals clothing.
A Moment of Silence for Ned1…may he rest in peace. Gone but not forgotten……

Let them come.
I sent the following comment to CBS today, not sure if they got it due to their poor site. Maybe they really don’t want feedback. Stahl had the gall to ask whether the Clinton emails (crimes) still mattered, and that there was no evidence of spying on the Trump campaign. She thinks if she says it, it automatically comes true. What a liar.
——–
I just watched the Trump released video of Stahl s interview. The interviewer, Leslie Stahl, was argumentative and asked only negative questions. Trump is correct, you never ask any tough questions of Democrats, and constantly go after Trump for anything you think you can get him on. It has been that way for at least four years. Yes, crimes that have been committed and not investigated by you or prosecuted by the DOJ still matter and always will. We see your bias. I am one of millions of Americans that want Hillary indicted and prosecuted for her many crimes, that want Obama and Biden investigated for the Trump campaign spying and the corresponding FISA court, FBI, CIA illegal operations and abuses, rigged and setup process crimes, that want Joe Biden investigated for his corruption with Hunter Biden in Ukraine, Burisma, and China, that want activists judges to be dismissed from the bench for their illegal activities. I do not believe you will ever investigate and fairly report on any of that, and so I have dismissed anything you have said for the past several years as complete crap. You and the rest of the main stream media have shown yourselves to be negligent and politically biased and cannot be considered trustworthy any longer.
We have to become Russian-like. If the government news says it, believe the opposite.
I became disgusted with SeeBS when Dan Rather mocked Nixon and totally banned them when he fabricated the letter about W.
Henry.
You say “I just watched the Trump released video of Stahl s interview. The interviewer, Leslie Stahl, was argumentative and asked only negative questions. Trump is correct, you never ask any tough questions of Democrats, and constantly go after Trump for anything you think you can get him on. It has been that way for at least four years.”
You’re right about that but it’s been their practice or you could even say their @Trademark for a minimum of 50 years. Rush was calling them out for it in the early 90’s.
Republican Pols know this but continue to agree to interviews. Anne Coulter was right about it also.
The Republicans have to quit letting them set the terms of engagement.
You can’t rape the willing.
I am a retired history teacher who used the Fourth Turning in my highest level classes. I wonder how many of them will remember those lessons and will see events in that context.
Another great summation, Admin. Thanks for sharing.
If you have Netflix, bing-watch the series “Jericho”. I think it might have been more than just a teevee series. The plot has all the ingredients, including domestic nuke attacks, a pandemic, sectionalization, false flags, fake news, and lots and lots of deceit.
I’m not going to let the mormontard shit all over this article. I will spam any comment he makes on this thread. I’m close to giving him the boot permanently.
Can you just spam the Mormontard shit? Sometimes he does make a good comment.
Selective spamming? Why make more work for Admin?
One decent comment for every 10 Mormontard crap ones ISN’T WORTH IT.
OK, I guess all will be blocked.
I don’t like to see folks booted any more than you like doing it. It defeats your idealism of permitting free speech, totally.
However, there have people who have totally abused the privilege. He IS one of those people. He will never stop. He’s irredeemable.
You do what you need to do. But, if you take that step, you certainly won’t get any complaint from me.
Do it! It’s tiring trying to get around them some days.
I value your leadership abilities, attritbutes and consistency. I recall when Irvani (sp) spammed threads relentlessly. It was a struggle to read articles and comments bc she made sure the focus was all on her.
I wish Winchester would have focused more on discourse instead of shock and awe.
Mehbeh an ignore button would work? I am amused at the progression of his proselytizing though. Everyone has their soma I reckon. Mine is cordite, composition b and steel on target.
Three personality opportunities for .22?
22, I saw your comment in my email but I think Admin has blocked you. I’m not rationalizing or doing back flips for Trump. I didn’t even vote for the man. But I watch what he does. “You shall know them by their fruits.” From what I can see, Trump is delivering despite the opposition.
I don’t know how many of your know this, but Trump has been saying the same things since the late ’70s and ’80s. I went back and watched some of his old interviews. He is saying the same thing now. Look him up on Letterman, Leno and others, when he was much younger. “We’re being robbed” by other countries. They’re not paying their fair share. Why should we defend them for free. And he was complaining about the Democrat NY Mayor Ed Koch. He said Koch was a “disaster.”
When asked if he was running for something or if he was running for president, he said he was hoping for a candidate that would do the right thing for America. It seems he threw his hat in the ring after others talked him into it. First, for a third party. The second time for the Republicans, which he won.
I’ve also read, even on this site, that Trump was a Democrat. In those interviews, he said he was a Republican.
Man I wish I could write like that.
Reading that was like watching a blacksmith make a horseshoe,
Bam. Bam. Bam. And sparks with every sentence.
I didn’t know that Huxley was big on rural communities, but he was right.
Marc, funny you should mention blacksmith.
Off topic from JQ’s post, but,
Check out this video, that was linked on another blog site today.
A fine craftswoman ‘smith, making a Norse inspired knife.
I found it pretty interesting.
Enjoy.
(RiNS, if you’re out there, check it)
Lgr…what knife…all I see are two milk white boobs?
Makes me want to get close and personal and do the motor boat.
Here you go down voter…
Yep, hard to pick out the most impactful paragraph…too many on target staccato bursts in the black.
I am always left wondering is this the merge of yet another 4th Turning, but this one into the long awaited Tribulation…the secular and the prophetic combining into the greatest crescendo in…His-story?
Mark.
That’s how I see it.
It’s going to get much uglier because he knows his time is short. I can sense the same urgency in his commie foot soldiers. They seem to smell the finish line if they could make one last all out offensive.
Christ said he came not to bring peace to the earth until the fat lady sings.
Flea,
I have felt the two were merging for a long time.
I always come back to the US being taken out of the looming international prophetic end game through one or multiple disastrous events…economic collapse/reserve currency evaporation, civil war/balkanization, EMP and or WW3 (in that order)…geese…I’m really usually a happy go lucky kinda guy.
Based on my research, the order of events leading to the destruction of the USA is to happen over a long term period from today, perhaps 20 to 40 years . 1. Huge earthquakes in Midwest, centered around Chicago, 2. Quakes cause Tsunamis from great lakes, 3. Circle of deaths and destruction reach 300 mile circumference from Chicago, 4. Dead number about 62, 588,xxx . Yes, 62 and a half MILLION americans dead. 5. These natural disasters open up opportunities for both China and Russia to send in military personnel under UN assistance guidelines 6. This friendly “invasion” sets up geniune military invasion later on, after an “accidental” nuclear exchange with Russia, due to Russian training mistakes. US is allowed to retaliate and destroy several Russian cities., in exchange. There are 4 US cities nuked , including Richmond, VA . 7. Full scale miltary invasion of US takes place about 1.5 to 2 years after nuke exchange . 8. It gets much worse….Please review Staff and Sword ministries, Chuck Youngbrandt. I genuinely hope none of these events happen, but reviewing biblical prophecies make it clear there will be no USA in existence for Armageddon and Jesus’s return. Good luck and God bless….
Saxons Wrath,
“I genuinely hope none of these events happen, but reviewing biblical prophecies make it clear there will be no USA in existence for Armageddon and Jesus’s return. Good luck and God bless….”
I agree with your close 100%…the US is 100% MIA during the big prophetic crescendo.
I’ll check out Staff & Sword.
Personally I think the 7 year Tribulation starts sometime in the 2020s as this 4th Turning merges with it. Spotting the Anti-Christ will not be difficult for those who will not be deceived.
We need to be prepared to endure not escape…we need to be preparded to die if necessary. And I do not intend to be passive or submit because:
Berean Study Bible
Psalm 144:1
Of David. Blessed be the LORD, my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
These two vids back that, and my 6th seal SNATCH timing belief.
First video is dead-on. Wicked bad that NWO/Beast System.
Auntie,
He has a lot of hard hitting vids.
>>>Spotting the Anti-Christ will not be difficult….
Bergoglio already has him on speed-dial.
If the Yellowstone Super Volcano blows were F’d as well. Many scenarios out there. Most of them, there’s not a Fng thing we can do to alter. If it’s out of my control F it, worrying about shit like that will make you lose your sanity.
Matthew 24:36
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.”
Of course I agree with the unknown day and hour…but the season is upon us.
I don’t worry about the uncontrollable…but I do like to consider the many possibilities…but I am prepared to the max for the controllable and most importantly providing for and protecting my family.
Yep, agreed Semper Paratus
This is no doubt one of the best articles I’ve read on TBP, and there have been some great ones. I can’t find but one word to disagree with, but it’s Fort Sumter, no p in there.
It certainly gives no one the warm fuzzies, but fairy tales are for children. As a Red Pill proponent, the truth, hard as it is to find and embrace, will set one free.
Thanks for brilliantly expressing my rage and frustration, and sadly relaying the uncertanity of the future. Like you, I have been trying to wake people and urge them to relinquish their illusions, but few have listened. Most people seem incapable of understanding that tomorrow won’t always be a repeat of today. Life is hard, and its harder when you’re stupid.
I will continue to resist, prepare, and pray. Thanks again.
Another wonderful exposé, thank you Jim. And, as others have commented – what strikes me is that our defence has to be a local, disconnected and self-sufficient community in rural areas where the totalitarian Masters of the Universe cannot reach. Forsake all the the techy gadgets, stay off the net and TV and revert to a sustainable and simple way of life much akin to how our forefathers lived.
In Britain, we are already seeing lots of people decamping from the cities and establishing a new way of life in rural England as they realise that their needs are far fewer than their perceived wants. If you have little, nothing much can be taken from you, even if you fail to pay their ludicrous taxes – nothing much will happen – just apply two fingers. It is in all our power to vote with our feet; the most powerful of all resistances IMHO.
Brilliant take on TFT and how it is reflected in the current state of affairs.
Brilliant! Chip
Excellent article by Jim Quinn that fails unfortunately to address perhaps the most important force causing the destruction of America and Christian Western Civilization. What we are seeing is a form of Neo-Bolshevism that has infiltrated America and the entire western world. The parallels with the so-called Russian Revolution are striking which should not come as a surprise since we are dealing with the same perpetrators. Ask yourself. Who controls the Fed, Wall Street and the entirebanking system? Who controls the MSM, Google and Facebook? Who controls the subversive and degenerate culture spewed forth by Hollywood? Who controls US and western foreign policy in the Middle East and elsewhere? If you want to see the future, read The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn because that is where we are headed unless this Satanic revolution is stopped.
“You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the “Russian Revolution.” It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators.”
– Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008), Nobel-Prize-winning novelist, historian and critic of Communist totalitarianism:(1918-2008), Nobel-Prize-winning novelist, historian and critic of Communist totalitarianism
Do as they say for the common good!!! … oops…no one could’ve known.
Paul Krugman and other mainstream trade experts are now admitting that they were wrong about globalization: It hurt American workers far more than they thought it would.

Double whammy. Two excellent articles in one.
Thank you Mr. Admin.
Thank you, flash.
I read The Fourth Turning in 1998 and when I came across TBP and saw the references to it I knew I had found home. Great article Jim, and I don’t think anyone could have described our current and future situation any better.
Interesting collection of comments. It’s got me thinking about an ironic and unintended consequence of the globalist establishment’s scamdemic, or DEMpanic. These jitbags have been pressing to push the people into the cities where they’re easier to control. Covid has done the opposite. People are leaving the cities.
While I like the blowback, and know it must drive filth like corey booker crazy, I’m not thrilled with the increase in New Yorkers coming into NJ. We’ve got enough idiots who think they’re liberals already. One can only hope they’ve learned from their mistake of allowing a commie to take over their local government.
Now, if we could only get rid of ours. . .
Nope,
But they sure and hell take it away from you if you let them.
