It’s said that history unfolds in cycles.
That civilizations and societies boom, bust and rise anew to repeat the pattern — a pattern that is surprisingly predictable in both its timing and trajectory.
Today’s guest expert is demographer Neil Howe, co-author of the book The Fourth Turning, a seminal work in which he and his fellow researcher William Strauss laid out the evidence for these “seasons” of societal change that they referred to as “turnings”.
When that book first came out in 1997, Howe & Strauss warned that the next societal “winter” — the next “4th turning” to use their label — would begin early on in the new millennium.
In his brand new sequel, “The Fourth Turning Is Here“, Howe reveals that we are now indeed deep within a Fourth Turning that started roughly in 2008, commensurate with the Global Financial Crisis.
Our current society has entered the “bust” part of its cycle — where the status quo falls apart — often chaotically. What should we expect from this period of disruption? Are there steps we can take to improve our odds of persevering? And perhaps more importantly, how can we position ourselves to play a constructive role — and possibly thrive — as this Fourth Turning concludes, to be replaced — as history suggests — by a new & hopefully better, order.

Have my doubts about the Fourth Turning bringing a new and better order. The demographic has changed so much from previous Turnings.
Hard People- Hard Principles- Hard Assets – Stack them broad and deep, you are going to need them!
There is absolutely no doubt the 4th turning will bring a new order. They always do. Whether that new order will be better or worse is what is unknown. What we do know is that life follows the laws of physics, and the fact that every action has an equal and opposite reaction cannot be denied. The way it works is that things getting better, usually means that at some point in the future they will get worse, and things getting much worse, means at some point in the future things will get better.
This is simply tied to human nature, and the way humans react to circumstance.
There is a new variable in this turning’s equation…unpayable debt greater than GDP and climbing.
“Usually” is gone now.
As recent events in NYC clearly illustrated, it will be the diverse and vibrant elements of the population that will be the first to ignite the maelstrom that will happen.
You can feel it in the air.
People just don’t give a fuck anymore…except the invaders.
They are wide awake.
Plenty of people care, Joe.
When it all goes sideways,
You’ll see us righting the ship.
We are awake too.
And armed to the teeth.
Remember Bundy Ranch and the Kenyan who backed down.
There are millions of us. Like Canadian truckers, and Dutch farmers
and Hungarians.
That’s why we are still (sorta) free.
A solid basic reminder…of the basics:
The plan is now clear to see. Whether they will pull it off or not remains to be seen. The plan was rehearsed during the Covid free money give away. The NWO always game plans major moves prior to implementing them.
This is the way it will most likely play out. First the economy collapses and wealth for the average people is wiped out as real estate values and stock values plummet. Unemployment will spike to levels not seen since the great depression, and many people will lose everything due to their high debt levels and vulnerability to loss of income even for the short term. Banks and lenders will foreclose on real assets and trillions of dollars of real wealth will flow from the American people to the banks and Wall St. who will either acquire the assets through default, or buying them for pennies on the dollar.
The government will then declare a national emergency, and implement basic income for the citizens much like the free money they gave away during Covid. What will be different this time is that the free money give away will be coordinated with the roll out of CBDC’s and the free money will given as CBDC.
This gives government the ability to control how and when the money is spent, and place conditions upon being eligible to receive it.
Again, as they did during Covid, the government will subsidize wages by making funds available to employers who cooperate with mandates, rules, and regulations thus gaining control of the so called free employment market.
These moves will effectively divide the economy into 2 groups, one very small group who own real wealth and assets, and one very large group that do not, and are dependent upon the government for their subsidized existence.
Once you understand this plan, you understand that Schwab was not lying when he told you that you would own nothing and be happy.
The younger generations have been conditioned for this existence, and will be perfectly happy having a government that acts as their parental entity, and gives them what they need, but denies them the ability to own assets….
I hope I live long enough to see how it turns out. Maybe get a couple shots in when shtf. I think this one will be more violent in USA than the last one.
Sound like a true traitor…or Russian troll.
What a dipshit. The Russians embrace the values the US used to when it was actually a decent country. Now the scumbag Neolibs and Globalists are turning the US into a first rate shithole devoid of any freedoms or rights except for the rights of criminals and perverts….
“tyler” is a CIA/FBI glowie.
Anyone using the tired “WUSSIA!” is the dead give away as a glowie.
“tyler” is just another sock of the other glowie trolling here.
