“Americans today are increasingly polarized, as if they constitute two separate nations.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.” – Thomas Paine – The American Crisis
Thomas Paine wrote these words 247 years ago, in the most historic year in our history – 1776. That was during the first American Fourth Turning. It’s not a coincidence we are now in the midst of our fourth Crisis period in U.S. history, as they arrive like clockwork every 80 years or so, the length of a long human life. Paine’s American Crisis began in 1773, ignited by the Boston Tea Party and the British reaction to this revolutionary act of defiance. Our current Millennial Crisis was triggered by the Federal Reserve/Wall Street/Government created financial disaster in 2008 and subsequent outrageously desperate, totalitarian, un-Constitutional, extreme acts designed to keep the ruling class in power, while impoverishing and enslaving the masses in a surveillance state techno-gulag.
The polarization and fractures have become too deep to repair. The country, and the western world in general, are hurtling towards a darkening abyss of civil conflict, financial collapse, global war, societal chaos, and loss of life on a scale grander than WW2, the Civil War, and the American Revolution combined. Our technological advancements have outstripped our ability to intelligently, thoughtfully, and humanly, use this power for the benefit of future generations. The destructive deficiencies of human nature, such as: greed, desire for power, hatred, arrogance, resentment, and an unlimited supply of self-delusion, continue to plague our world, as only the most power-hungry psychopaths rise to the highest levels of government, business, religion, and finance.
The immense technological power in the hands of egocentric, megalomaniacal, sadistic, billionaires and their highly paid toadies, lackeys, and apparatchiks, inserted throughout the media, government, academia, banking, and corporations, has pushed the world to the brink of Armageddon. We are entering the sixteenth year of this Fourth Turning. Based on history, we can expect a climax of this Crisis in the 2030-to-2032-timeframe. The path to that climax is guaranteed to be violent and unforgiving.
Neil Howe, in his new book – The Fourth Turning Is Here – tries to decipher the likely path of the remainder of this Fourth Turning. Having read the original Fourth Turning, his joint project with William Strauss (who died in 2007), in 2004, I was curious to read Howe’s update on their generational theory of history. I met Howe for lunch in 2012 during the Occupy Wall Street protests and he correctly assessed that movement as a meaningless left-wing attempt to push their communist like agenda.
The first book, written in 1997, showed no favor towards the right or left. It was a no-nonsense assessment of economic facts and historical precedents. There were no political agendas, which I now attribute to Strauss’ influence, because Howe certainly lets his political views creep into his writings. This isn’t surprising, as his consulting business is dependent upon Wall Street banks and mega-corporations. He owes his living to the establishment; therefore he won’t shit where he eats.
Howe’s current left leaning political views seep into his current tome. He quotes Zelensky as some sort of patriotic leader, while portraying Putin as a thug, without giving any context regarding the 2014 CIA initiated overthrow of a democratically elected Ukraine president. He bought the covid scamdemic hook, line, and sinker, with no skepticism about the coordinated lockdowns and false narratives about masks, social distancing, and vaccines that never worked, but continue to kill. He believes the climate change bullshit narrative.
His tone regarding Trump is clearly negative and he believes the 2020 election was perfectly legitimate. He expounds about the January 6 “armed” insurrection, without one word about the FBI, Pelosi, and the Washington establishment planning, coordinating, and exacerbating the fake “insurrection”. His brain-dead accusations of violence by Trump supporters, while completely ignoring the murder and mayhem created by the BLM and ANTIFA terrorists, clearly reveals his allegiances.
Be that as it may, there is no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. His acumen regarding possible scenarios and outcomes are well thought out. Howe makes some very interesting predictions regarding the remainder of this Fourth Turning, providing some very dark possibilities, along with some more unlikely optimistic outcomes. His research reveals Americans think the American dream is no longer attainable, civil discord will destroy our democratic institutions, and our global standing is in decline. All three fears are legitimate and coming to fruition as we speak. Howe captures the current situation in this passage:
“In the middle of a Crisis era, the social mood has reached an unstable balance of hope, fear, and dizzying uncertainty. Americans are like a compressed spring at the point of maximum potential energy. Internally secure yet externally threatened, they are ready for propulsive public action.” – Neil Howe – The Fourth Turning Is Here
Events beyond their control are leading them towards their rendezvous with destiny and the speed has begun to accelerate, with 2024 slated to be a historic date in history, on par with 1776, 1861, and 1941. The exact events which will make 2024 historic are obscured by a dense fog of uncertainty, but we can make some educated guesses based upon our current economic circumstances, Biden’s open border purposeful invasion, upcoming elections wrought with fraud, ongoing treasonous governmental and judicial operations, and deepening global conflicts already underway.
Of the three possible paths laid out by Howe, the most likely appears to be the animosity between factions eventually leads to armed conflict within the country. Political dominance by one party is highly unlikely, with the country rallying around the flag against an external enemy. It is more likely our many external foes will take advantage of our internal conflict to further weaken our global hegemony. All paths lead to war at this point.
I sense the delusional masses, still entranced by their electronic gadgets, unending access to debt, NFL fantasy leagues, and oblivious to the lessons of history, are frantically trying to fend off reality by shopping, eating out, partying at bars, and pretending all is well. Critically assessing their true situation is too painful for these snowflakes and gender bending enthusiasts. Their virtue signaling wokeness is about to meet the brutal reality of a violent Fourth Turning climax.
“And however much these paths may seem to differ from one another, they all move toward the same destination. They all push the nation toward a violent struggle requiring maximum mobilization. They all culminate in the Ekpyrosis, which will bring the era into a decisive consolidation, climax, and resolution.” – Neil Howe – The Fourth Turning Is Here
The drivers of this Fourth Turning, as documented in 1997, continue to be debt, civic decay, and global disorder. They have propelled this Crisis since the outset in 2008 and are accelerating towards an explosive collision in 2024. The national debt at the outset of this Fourth Turning was $10 trillion. It had taken 219 years to accumulate $10 trillion of debt, with the majority amassed during this century. It has taken just fifteen years to pile an additional $24 trillion of debt on the backs of Americans and future generations, if there are future generations.
This doesn’t even take into account the $200 trillion of unfunded welfare and pension obligations tallied up by your government leaders. At the same time, the Federal Reserve increased their balance sheet from $900 billion to $9 trillion. With the rapid rise of interest rates in the last year, if banks were required to mark their assets to market, as they did prior to 2009, the entire banking industry, including the Too Big To Fail Wall Street behemoths, would be insolvent, along with the Federal Reserve. Does this seem sustainable to you?
Luckily for our teetering empire of debt, delusions, and deceptions, they can change the rules whenever it suits their purposes to extend and pretend until it all “suddenly” collapses, like a vaxxed soccer player on the pitch. Of course, the U.S. is not alone in being burdened with unpayable debt and an unsustainable financial system. China and the EU countries are also insolvent and issuing debt to service their existing debt.
The only major global power without a large debt problem is Russia, with a debt to GDP ratio below 30%, while the U.S.- 120%, EU – 90%, Japan – 220%, and China – 80% have accumulated perilous levels of debt and still growing. These debt levels and the domestic implications of unsustainable economies will lead shamelessly corrupt politicians and even dictators like Xi to provoke foreign conflict in order to distract their populations from their dire economic circumstances. A wag the dog type false flag is just around the corner.
An man-made banker created economic disaster ignited this powder keg of debt in 2008, and the “solutions” rolled out by the ruling elites since have been designed to extend, pretend, and bend the minds of the masses, while fostering the perpetual pillaging campaign by the billionaire oligarchs who really run this world. The plebs have been destroyed by the relentless inflation purposefully created by Powell and his fellow central banker puppets of the Deep State, while the lords of finance have reaped billions in ill-gotten riches.
The “Haves”, who control the financial markets, media, and politicians, are ecstatic with the current paradigm, as the stock market hits new highs every day, while average Americans go deeper into debt to keep up with the Joneses, pay the rent, and put some food on the table. The U.S. is nothing more than a sophisticated technological looting operation at this point, as we await the Great Taking to be initiated by the oligarchs as their final solution.
The Great Taking is David Rogers Webb’s warning to those not on the inside about the coming seizure of all your assets (stocks, bonds, savings) by your own government in the name of some new contrived national emergency. You will sacrifice your life savings for the good of the country (aka Deep State). At this point it’s just a matter of which comes first, The Taking, Global war, or Civil chaos caused by the ongoing election fraud. They are all coming and will merge into a category 5 hurricane of hell for the nation and the world.
The Deep State continues its complete control over who gets “elected”/selected in this country, as they use the captured judicial system as a cudgel to crush the rule of law and our Constitutional rights. The Soros selected District Attorneys, Mayors, Governors, Judges, Secretaries of States, and various other low-level captured bureaucrats, are doing what they were selected to do – destroy the country’s social fabric and create a chaotic disintegration of our community norms.
A populace propagandized into a woke communist ideology and prodded into a buy now, pay later mentality, is unwilling or unable to accept that LATER has arrived. They will pay, one way or another. Multiple bubbles in stocks, bonds and real estate are all poised to pop, with the slightest provocation from a global and/or domestic blunder. We have now positioned our naval forces in the highly dangerous waters in the Middle East. Militarily supporting Israel and Ukraine has done wonders for our GDP, but it seems we are running out of ammo to defend our own country, as the invasion of our southern border accelerates. We are currently provoking armed conflict in Yemen, Syria, Gaza, Iraq, Ukraine, and Russia.
All it will take is one lucky missile or unexpected hyper-sonic missile and our vaunted navy will see a vessel or two go to the bottom of the Red Sea. Then all hell will break loose. The rhetoric, threats and accusations of atrocities are ramping up, along with armed conflict across the Middle East. With the raging religious hatreds and centuries old struggles for land and power coming to a head, it will just take one of these psychopaths to ignite a global conflict. Meanwhile, China is biding its time for when they make their ultimate move on Taiwan. That would really roll a grenade into the party.
Financial markets have ignored the worsening global conflict thus far, but what happens when Americans start dying in large numbers? If the markets are at all time highs based upon expectations of a strong thriving economy in 2024, why is the Fed signaling multiple interest rate cuts in 2024, regional banks are desperately clinging to the Fed’s emergency bailout fund, commercial real estate is collapsing, housing has peaked, gold is hitting all-time highs, credit card debt is at all-time highs, layoffs are increasing, and the number of working age citizens is in free fall due to vaxx deaths and disabilities?
But buy stocks because the Wall Street shysters and their media mouthpieces tell you it’s the best time to buy. The only question at this point is what additional grain of sand will cause the sand pile to collapse. Will it be a foreign war, or will it be a civil war within our borders or something no one has even considered? I know most people dismiss the possibility of civil war, believing there aren’t enough people willing to risk their lives for a just cause. Neil Howe seems to think it is probable.
“Roughly half of all Americans think a civil war is likely. And a growing number of social scientists agree that the United States now fits the checklist profile of a country at risk. Trust in the national government is in steep decline. Check. Respect for democratic institutions is weakening. Check. A heavily armed population has polarized into two evenly divided partisan factions. Check. Each faction embodies a distinctive ethnic, cultural, and urban-versus-rural identity. Each wants its country to become something the other detests. And each fears the prospect of the other taking power. Check, check, and check.” – Neil Howe – The Fourth Turning Is Here
Virtually no one believes civil war is possible, just as no one expected a civil war in 1860, as the presidential election approached. Truthfully, the civil war has already begun, but only those on the left, in conjunction with the FBI, CIA, Big Media, and other governmental agencies, are aggressively fighting. They are vigorously at war against the American people by rigging elections, arresting opposition leaders, and discarding the U.S. Constitution.
The good guys have thus far been too civil. But the simmering anger of heavily armed rural, red state Americans is close to boiling over. All the signs are there, awaiting a triggering event for this undeclared war to engulf the nation. At this point a number of possible triggering events are possible.
If David Webb is correct and those in power initiate the Great Taking, the level of violence in reaction would be unprecedented in U.S. history. Maybe that is their plan. Biden and his handlers could use this event to declare a national emergency, suspending the presidential election because they were going to lose, and instituting martial law. Their attempt to lockdown the country and use the military against civilians would surely result in massive bloodshed, as local animosities would result in assassinations, wholesale slaughter of those considered disloyal to whichever side controls the high ground in that community. Previously petty disputes would suddenly become lethal disputes.
Even if the presidential election is held in November, I don’t believe either side will accept the outcome. We know the Democrats and their Deep State co-conspirators will cheat, rig and once again try to steal the election. If they fail, they will unleash their BLM, ANTIFA terrorist arm into the streets to create chaos as an excuse to not hand over power to Trump.
With multiple states now attempting to unlawfully keep Trump off the ballot in their states, the animosity between the right and left grows ever deeper. The imprisonment of Trump or more radical attempts to steal the 2024 election will be met with violence from the here-to-for persevering right. Mixing this toxic domestic atmosphere with a deepening global chasm is a recipe for global disaster.
As we have seen throughout history, the egos of psychopaths at the helm of nations often lead them to act irrationally and/or emotionally when it comes to committing their people to war. While the U.S. has further weakened its global hegemony with its disastrous forays into Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Ukraine; Russia and China have gotten stronger and more mutually committed to creating their own new world order. The USD as the dominant global currency is reaching its endpoint, marking the end of empire. Now Israel will further deplete U.S. resources and global stature with their war to wipe out Palestine. Once the dominoes begin to fall in a game of global warfare, all bets are off regarding possible outcomes. Neil Howe’s worst-case scenario is certainly not out of the question.
“At worst, should at least one desperate country resort to WMDs, the outcome of a great-power war could prove to be even more devastating than that of a civil war. The toll could be almost unimaginable – with multiple cities destroyed, many millions killed, and many tens of millions displaced – all perhaps triggered by some ill-fated combination of the wrong leader making the wrong choice at the wrong time.” – Neil Howe – The Fourth Turning Is Here
All scenarios for 2024 seem depressing and dark, but the odds still favor just continuing to muddle through as we have done through the first fifteen years of this Fourth Turning. I gave up trying to make specific predictions within a specific time frame years ago. It’s a fool’s errand as there are too many variables in the world to correctly predict which ones will drive the course of events within a one year time frame.
What I do know is that pessimism about the future continues to deepen, paranoia strengthens, trust declines, anger grows, and the arrogance of those running the show has reached epic levels. We’ve been subjected to three years of propaganda about how the Great Reset will fundamentally transform our world, where we will own nothing and be happy. It seems this fits perfectly with David Webb’s Great Taking theory of how we will ultimately own nothing.
There does seem to be a common thread running through everything happening in the last three years and appears to be on deck for 2024 and beyond. It all revolves around this broad Great Reset concept pushed by Schwab, Gates, Soros, and the rest of the Davos elite. The entire Covid plandemic was engineered to introduce authoritarian measures and instruct the masses to obey their masters.
The vaccine is now clearly revealed to be a depopulation weapon, killing off some suddenly; others through myocarditis, turbo cancers, and strokes; babies through miscarriages; and future generations through reduced fertility. And most still believe our overlords rolled these jabs out to save them. Trump is still crowing about his big, beautiful vaccines. He’s either a fool or a charlatan.
The climate change scam is hastening, as the war on farmers, meat, and fossil fuels is waged relentlessly by unelected bureaucrats and captured media mouthpieces. The EV scam is collapsing rapidly, as people with common sense see through it all. The Great Replacement of white people with third world savages is unabetted, with the Biden Administration ushering them across the southern border, giving them phones and money, flying them to cities across the country, and paying for them to stay at upscale hotels.
This is not incompetence, but treason. They have already used their predictive programming/brainwashing to prepare the masses for civil war and a massive cyber-attack. Your government will protect you, as long as you sacrifice your remaining liberties and rights. All that is left is the initiation of the Great Taking. The “emergency” will occur on a weekend and by Monday morning your assets will be gone.
This is their master plan, but we will have a say on whether it is ever successfully implemented. I wonder if these Davos psychopaths absconded with The Great Reset moniker from Strauss & Howe, as they used it to describe Fourth Turnings back in 1997.
“A Fourth Turning is a great reset.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning
A Fourth Turning great reset may be a surprise to Schwab and his totalitarian acolytes inserted in governments across the world. They are in control. They are running this shitshow. They are the establishment. They are reaping the benefits. They are suppressing dissent and the truth. They are the existing social order that traditionally gets swept away during a Fourth Turning. 2024 may mark the beginning of the end for the Davos crowd and their iron grip on our spiraling society of chaos.
The future course of history could be radically altered by actions taken by supposedly influential characters in this movie, but also by courageous deeds performed by average Americans who will sacrifice themselves to ensure future generations have a chance to live in a nation devoid of a psychopathic elitist ruling class.
It seems like a long shot at this point, but giving up is not an option for those of us who still love this country. The four possible outcomes for this Crisis, laid out by Strauss & Howe in 1997, are as valid today as ever, and disturbingly close at hand. We will all have to do our part if we are to have any chance of producing a positive outcome to this Crisis. Happy New Year.
- This Fourth Turning could mark the end of man. It could be an omnicidal Armageddon, destroying everything, leaving nothing. If mankind ever extinguishes itself, this will probably happen when its dominant civilization triggers a Fourth Turning that ends horribly. For this Fourth Turning to put an end to all this would require an extremely unlikely blend of social disaster, human malevolence, technological perfection and bad luck.
- The Fourth Turning could mark the end of modernity. The Western saecular rhythm – which began in the mid-fifteenth century with the Renaissance – could come to an abrupt terminus. The seventh modern saeculum would be the last. This too could come from total war, terrible but not final. There could be a complete collapse of science, culture, politics, and society. Such a dire result would probably happen only when a dominant nation (like today’s America) lets a Fourth Turning ekpyrosis engulf the planet. But this outcome is well within the reach of foreseeable technology and malevolence.
- The Fourth Turning could spare modernity but mark the end of our nation. It could close the book on the political constitution, popular culture, and moral standing that the word America has come to signify. The nation has endured for three saecula; Rome lasted twelve, the Soviet Union only one. Fourth Turnings are critical thresholds for national survival. Each of the last three American Crises produced moments of extreme danger: In the Revolution, the very birth of the republic hung by a thread in more than one battle. In the Civil War, the union barely survived a four-year slaughter that in its own time was regarded as the most lethal war in history. In World War II, the nation destroyed an enemy of democracy that for a time was winning; had the enemy won, America might have itself been destroyed. In all likelihood, the next Crisis will present the nation with a threat and a consequence on a similar scale.
- Or the Fourth Turning could simply mark the end of the Millennial Saeculum. Mankind, modernity, and America would all persevere. Afterward, there would be a new mood, a new High, and a new saeculum. America would be reborn. But, reborn, it would not be the same.

Admin- Late to this thread, very well written article. Knowing Howe’s connections, I wondered if there would ever be a time for distancing and truths. Finally.
The main thing about all this Fourth Turning hooplah is that technically it is true BUT nobody ever gives the back story to the fact that every “turning” is orchestrated with precision by the usual suspects. It is surreal in a way, like writing about a Broadway production as if it were organic and happened completely on it’s own. Perhaps someone will break down each “turning” and show that every cycle is driven by the same club for their own purpose.
What if they gave a “turning” and nobody came? All it would take is to use the internet for our purpose, this turning could be different. Who in the world cheerleads for death and destruction? Only those who benefit.
Hello BL,
I think you are absolutely correct in that it is always the same cast of characters driving the turnings. I also think that the generational theory Strauss and Howe have outlined in both of the 4th Turning books, combined with their analysis of western history, explains why very well.
We know that human nature does not change. Their (Strauss & Howe) work seems to indicate that in modern societies the same four generational archetypes keep reappearing on the scene every 20 or so years, in the exact same order, with the exact same tendencies therefore bringing the exact same results. Every time. About the only thing that changes is the increased level of destruction of each turning due to technological advances achieved.
I like the idea of nobody coming to the “turning”, kind of like, what if they threw an election and nobody showed up? In the election scenario TPTB will always find a way to manufacture consent to support their approved outcome no matter how few participate.
Unfortunately the 4th “turning” is here and the scope of it will be such that not attending will be very difficult. I think there might be limited opportunities for some (those the furthest off the grid) to mostly not come to the event but I don’t think there will be many of us who won’t be impacted in significant ways when this one is all said and done.
If this turning does not result in near total or total annihilation the cycle will start again, and in another 80-100 years from that point this conversation will be taking place yet again. More and more the writer of Ecclesiastes is proven correct-there is nothing new under the sun.
About SICK of the babylonian (money, banks, fiat) “system”, I’d LIKE to see an extinction “event”…
Money and banks are good things, quite useful, but real money is a requirement.
Be careful what you wish for. You may just get it.
The purpose of the turning is to guarantee generational wealth to the usual suspects and their offspring. True it is the beginning in new eras in human development but all out destruction in order to profit from the rebuilding is criminal . Did it ever occur to you that these “Turners” are ruining the human experience to maintain the vast majority of the wealth? It does not have to be that way. Can’t there be more equity and less death and destruction? I think so.
I too feel your pain about the state of the human experience and wish it weren’t so. Unfortunately thousands of years of human experience do not leave us many examples of anything much different than the state of affairs as they are. I find no joy in coming to this conclusion but the evidence makes it impossible for me to conclude otherwise.
I think each one of us has to daily make the choice about what kind of person we are going to be and how we are going to live our lives. We each should try to do our part the best we can, no matter how seemingly insignificant, to be a blessing to those we come into contact with and make our small parts of the world better places; no matter how bad things get and regardless of what the narcissists, criminals etc who keep rising to the top do.
Just by being better people, resisting where we can, we might even occasionally throw a wrench into their machine and jack things up a bit for them for some fun along the way.
My pollyanna-ish sounding statements above, while true to me at a personal level, are not the final word. This 4th turning, just like all the others, will require that, as HL Mencken once said-at some point a man has to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and start slitting throats. (may not be an exact word for word citation but it conveys his point accurately by my memory).
The current version of evil that is ruining the human experience will have to be confronted if there is a chance to see a better future, even if that better future only lasts for one, maybe two turnings at best as has been the case in the past.
GPH, I’m not trying to be starry-eyed here, I get the process of being pushed into situations. I’m just stating if we can educate the proles that this is orchestrated EVERY. DAMN. TIME. by the usual suspects to gain generational wealth while we suffer, humanity for once should give a collective, “Hell No”. None of this B.S. is to our benefit, all we get is misery. Just stop playing, and stop making excuses that it has to always be this way.
I was referring to my own moment of starry-eyed commentary, that was not pointed at your position in any way whatsoever.
I guess ultimately I’ve made the decision that in no area of my life will I live in the the would’a, should’a or could’a arenas. I can do whatever it is I can do today to make positive or negative impacts where I am located. What could have or should have or would have been don’t matter, except to learn from and improve.
Which on the collective level is where you and I share the same frustration because humanity doesn’t ever seem to learn from it’s history. Except for the ruling elite criminal class, they seem to learn very well how to perpetuate their enterprises.
Therefore, human history offers little in the way of optimism that we will rise above all of this this time. Fatalistic? Perhaps so but I find my view to be solidly based on the reality that was and is and not to be overly fatalistic even though there is a certain amount of fatalism that has to be built in.
As is always the case, at some point (very soon we all pretty much agree on here) there will be the spark causing the collective “Hell No” to take place and then it will be on, be it a civil war or external war or a combination of both we don’t know yet; but when it comes you and I and everyone else will have the opportunity to make a difference.
Or not.
None of us know for sure what our responses will be when that time comes, some will rise up to the occasion but many won’t. For that and many other reasons the outcome of 4th turnings always hang in the in the balance and can’t be predicted.
Stopping the confiscation of generational wealth and all of the related horrors that have continually been done by the elite criminal ruling class that always finds their way to the top will require a complete transformation of human behavior that I’m afraid the vast majority of humans will never embrace no matter what happens because our human nature is inherently flawed.
We agree on much although there are some parts of our worldviews that aren’t quite exactly aligned, and that’s OK. I’ve enjoyed very much the respectful and thoughtful dialog, without the vulgar language and name calling that has become too commonplace here. You’ve encouraged me to think more deeply about all of these things while putting my thoughts to writing, thank you.
Let us also remember and know that whenever they say it is the “taxpayers money”, that is another lie.
It is really their fake printed money that contributes to THEIR debt, NOT ours. That is not OUR debt!
Flush all of that fake debt down the toilet, where it belongs.
Yes, it’s their debt. But they have maniplated / coerced us into collateralizing it via direct taxation. Also,when the fed creates excess money from thin air and gives it to their pals at the top of food chain, they may not have technically stolen the dollar bills in our pockets, but they have stolen the purchasing power of those dollars. Hence, indirect or stealth taxation.
My dad would say, “We’re all gonna’ die.” and “He with the gold rules”.
This was an excellent article.
As concerns civil war, I believe it is but one insult away-the proverbial straw. And when it begins, many a grudge and pressurized anger simmering for many years will explode on the scene.
Who is the enemy? My guess is that one’s skin will be their uniform. We shant have time to sit the (foreigner) down and ascertain that this Chinese or Mexican individual was born and raised here and may actually be supportive of our heritage American positions. Instead, the Outsiders will be targets en masse. It’s clear that invaders look different than native population and the vast majority of which neither respect nor care about our culture, customs, or future.
The militarized invaders pouring in are easy to identify in the majority while Those who do look like us are the real danger. We will get better at fighting once the knowledge that our old lives are now gone has sunk in. That’s a tough psychological pill to swallow.
Note: remind youngsters in earshot that after the carnage, to be on the lookout for bunker people. It may be a full generation before emergence but these monsters are responsible for all the death and hardships and MUST be held to account.
I sincerely apologize to posterity for the world my generation has bequeathed.
Keep “bussing” on up there. lol
My prediction , should Mr. Trump become king and “close” the border, a massive amnesty will take place anyway. It’s simple to figure out with a populous in the United States that does not appear to be dwindling, more cars, more paved thoroughfares , more improvements and repairs to paved thoroughfares, more general infrastructure etc. etc. , “someone” has got to do the work and it ain’t the preppies out of the colleges.

Hey, “they” got Nikes , right?
Howe and Strauss were brilliant. You, on the other hand, are one of the most biased idiots alive today. Your writing and beliefs are so saturated and imbued with conspiracy and nonsense that any sort of basic reading of your efforts, show you to be uneducated, poorly read, seriously biased and indoctrinated by cartoonish ideas without any basis in research and/or critical thinking. Unfortunately, you waste your time trying yo appease your own by stupidity. I suspect you might suffer from schizophrenia or have had a brain injury because, no one, that is NO ONE can take you seriously as your gibberish can only be considered entertainment.

“Howe and Strauss were brilliant”Differently Abled, apparently.
Chuckle. The sophomoric babble of a fool.
This so-called “4th Turning” is actually a 84 year cycle (due to a particular planetary alignment) that is somehow connected to what are now the Anglo-Celtic people of western Europe and especially the United States. I’m NOT an astrologist or into astrology, however my research into what is going on has shown this cycle to be closely associated with sh*t hitting the fan for the United States.
The last year this alignment took place was 1944. 84 years earlier was 1860, and 84 years prior to that it was 1776. 84 years prior to that it was 1692. Take a look at history books written prior to 1960 the get a honest idea of what was going on in this Country on those dates. All of them were times of crisis where the future was not clear as to the survival of this Country. If you take the time to track this 84 year cycle even further back in time you will find all sorts of interesting coincidences. If you track it far enough back you will see that it coincides with the Assyrians conquering the Northern Kingdom…….
Just to make things extra sh*tty, the next date of this alignment is 2028. Buckle up kids, the ride to 2028 is gonna be a bit bumpy.

No concerns , Donald Trump will change the “alignment”.
” Conflict erupts” right on time we are just about half way through the 4th turning. Sure looks like end time warring nations are gathering against Israel.
The almighty dollar is turning into a 1922 German mark. Yearly 2 trillion dollar deficits (1/2 the budget) Interest on the debt 1/4 of the budget. Even an innercity yoof can see that maff don’t work. We got trouble.
Well modern Israel kinda has it coming. So the world hating her isn’t some biblical endtime miracle. Just alot of bad Karma finally coming home to sender.
IOW, “obamanauts”.
Yeah, just open fire when the power is turned off. You’ll have about 96 hours in that window of opportunity….
