On Perspective and Prerogatives…

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

In 1978, a 22-year-old man began teaching earth science at a school in Rochester, New York.  At that time, he told his ninth-grade students about a solar eclipse that would occur on April 8, 2024 and he invited his students to attend an “eclipse party” that he would be hosting 46 years in the future.

On the Monday of the eclipse, or four days ago as of this writing, approximately 100 former students gathered at the home of their now 68-year-old former teacher.  Here is a link to the news article.

Four days prior to the eclipse (on 4/4/2024), four planets in our solar system aligned on the same side of the sun as Earth: Venus, Mars, Saturn and Neptune.  The next day a 4.8-magnitude earthquake was felt in New Jersey, New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia.

In 2024, a total of four planetary alignments are occurring with the following celestial events still to happen:

– On April 20, there will be a planetary gathering of five planets: Venus, Mercury, Neptune, Mars and Saturn.

– On June 7, there will be a planetary alignment of six planets: Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Mars, Neptune and Saturn.

– On Aug. 28, there will be a planetary gathering of six planets: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn.

These cosmic occurrences are a reminder of how the universe operates like a clock, with predictable accuracy, and beyond the control of any human – especially beyond the self-appointed prerogative of the technocratic transhumanists now facilitating hell on earth.

This is the other eclipse now visible over Western Civilization: A societal eclipse. It, too, unwinds according to math. And, like the universe, the national alignments and societal shadows were set into motion a long time ago.

Therefore, let us maintain the proper perspective as another tyrannical tempest now rages in history.

The last three American Fourth Turnings delivered the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World War II, respectively. Now, eight decades later, we are engulfed by what authors William Strauss and Neil Howe have described as “the core elements of these [Fourth Turning] scenarios”:  Debt, civic decay, and global disorder.

Consider that each of the past Fourth Turnings were more cataclysmic than the last, and the rising civilizational vortexes were proportionally exacerbated according to advancements in technology.   All civilizational cycles unwind like clockwork and manifest as a result of math.  Cause and effect.  The larger the causes, the greater the effects. The largest debt bubble in the history of the world is about to burst.

As if by entropy, the American social contract has been degraded through the decades. This occurred with certain finality like a shadow’s path of totality from an eclipse over America’s institutions.

False narratives have ruled the world via psychological warfare and manufactured consent; and most U.S. citizens have been demoralized past the point of no return. Not enough minds can change in time. Thus, binaries of shadow and light will run their inevitable course in this current cycle.

Esoteric cult magic spins like software in modernity: Binaries, polarities, and dialectics. All programmed to divide and dissolve, to conquer and coagulate; to alchemize order from chaos; while an ersatz patina coats the globe which blurs reality. We imbibe what’s fake, like pixie dust, or processed food, and it tastes like chewed tinfoil soaked in saccharine.

In the meantime, the world groans. The earth shakes.

But flowers still blossom and tree buds bloom.  Just yesterday, a rainbow appeared right outside my window. A rainbow: translucent, transient, transcendent.

Later that evening, I opened the same window and my upward glance caught the sliver of an ivory moon formed into a winsome, slanted smile floating amid stars sparkling. The spring breeze was crisp and cool and it carried an earthy hint of verdant ground. The moment felt both ancient and familiar.

Biblical books like Psalms and Ecclesiastes paint human life as “but a breath”, or “a passing mist”, and our days are described as fading like flowers and grass.  For time grinds even brick, and stone, and marble to dust.

The Cult dreams under moons and planets and stars aligned above; and their revolution, their technology, and their rebellion against reality are mere steps on the stairway to nowhere. As in the example of the tower of Babylon from centuries ago, all of their artifices will crumble in time.

Until then, however, people will believe and choose until their only choices are “yes” or “no”.

In the realm of earthquakes, eclipses, celestial alignments, and rainbows:  What do you believe?

To truly understand what is happening we must understand the current physical world we live in is not the same as the original world created by God.
The original was perfect. No rain, no foods, no earthquakes, no tornadoes, no tidal waves, no temperature extremes, animals didn’t kill and eat one another.
Our current world is a product of our sin or disobedience to it’s Creator . It is under a curse.
When God’s great cleansing judgement has come the current world will be renewed, made perfect once again, for those that have passed through the flames by true faith in Jesus alone.

Isaiah 20
For the windows [j]above are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake.
19 The earth is broken apart,
The earth is split through,
The earth is shaken violently.
20 The earth trembles like a heavy drinker
And sways like a hut,
For its wrongdoing is heavy upon it,
And it will fall, never to rise again.
21 So it will happen on that day,
That the Lord will punish the rebellious [k]angels of [l]heaven on high,
And the kings of the earth on earth.
22 They will be gathered together
Like prisoners in the [m]dungeon,
And will be confined in prison;
And after many days they will be punished.
23 Then the moon will be ashamed and the sun be put to shame,
For the Lord of armies will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
And His glory will be before His elders.

This is why I really dislike eschatology: Because there’s so much left to the domain of speculation, that you can pick out just about anything, any facet of the End Times subject, because there’s a lot that goes under that umbrella, and run with it, and defend a particular idea. And if you’re loud enough about it, and you do it often enough, people are going to think you’re on to something. And the people who are doing that know that, because it’s so complicated, it’s so vast, there’s so many ins and outs and intricacies of it. “Who in the world is going to spend the time telling me I’m wrong?”

It was in fact aggression by the Slavers. They started the war.

Slave state representatives called the Wilmot Proviso, which would have banned slavery from being imported into territory newly acquired from Mexico (where slavery was forbidden by Mexican law) “tyranny” on the part of the Northern states.They maintained that they had a “right” to own people and force them to work while appropriating the fruit of their labor for themselves, and that limiting the spread of that horrible practice denied them their “rights”.

Anyway, the South planned to fight, and started the war by attacking a Federal fort.

Surely you know this…

See this is where my theology starts to become “apostate”( ? ) , I’m tire of the whole ” we aint nothin but garbage that fouls every damn thing up” guilt trip , while we were supossedly simultaniously created in His image and for His purpose( He being without flaw , but created garbage ?Why , accidentally ? So much for being perfect then see the contradiction ? ?) so burn me at the stake ( just don’t burn my steak hoser )as a heretic if you must but I’m just being intellectually honest here , something one of our fine and esteemed TBP co commentators accused me of being just yesterday so might as well live up to it .

I read in the Bible that God created Adam and Eve without knowledge of good or evil, in other words, they were on a moral level with animals, until they ate of the fruit that God provided and learned that good and evil exist and what each is.

Cycles of vulcanism and major earthquakes have been going on longer than you imagine. A major cause is the fact that the earth’s tectonic plates are still moving around.
I don’t think very much is understood about the way the earth’s molten core behaves, but enough is known to say that currents in the molten core drive the drifting of the continents.

I refuse to be held responsible for the actions of my ancestors, any of them, and I seriously doubt that God blames me for Adam giving in to his lust, or Eve for that matter.

I’ve always wondered why Eve and Adam were created with reproductive organs if they were intended never to use them?

I believe there was a great nothing, which suddenly, for no reason whatsoever exploded , whereupon hundreds of billions of random fragments of nothingness neatly arraigned themselves into multiple universes containing all these billions of fragments of nothing, that operate with the reliable precision of a Swiss watch. One of these random fragment became home to the most amazing sentient beings.
So in summary, the great expanse of multiple universes from nothing and the struggle of the curious sentient beings spinning on a sole random fragment of nothingness, desperately trying to understand it all is really just much ado about nothing.

“There is no antidote, he writes, against the opium of time. The winter sun shows how soon the light fades from the ash, how soon night enfolds us. Hour upon hour is added to the sum. Time itself grows old. Pyramids, arches and obelisks are melting pillars of snow. Not even those who have found a place amidst the heavenly constellations have perpetuated their names: Nimrod is lost in Orion, and Osiris in the Dog Star. Indeed, old families last not three oaks. To set one’s name to a work gives no one a title to be remembered, for who knows how many of the best of men have gone without a trace? The iniquity of oblivion blindly scatters her poppyseed and when wretchedness falls upon us one summer’s day like snow, all we wish for is to be forgotten.”

Regarding Creation and Cycles, can you please explain to me your best understanding of the structures built during the World’s Fairs, especially the one with electricity and moving walkways? My best guess is that those fairs showed what White men could achieve without the parasitic sapping of our finances and strength by international jewry – the structures were built as described and torn down. The Satanists always show people what they are going to do – these were built in the classical style to telegraph that the jews were going to tear down everything we built, raze it to the ground to flout us and our achievements to demoralize Whites and our abilities.

What strikes me as strange is that these great scientific minds can reach that point, that point of demarcation as you coin it , where material science cannot explain what happens beyond ,and somehow come to mundane conclusions and be satisfied with it . I really do believe they are great scientific minds ,I am not being catty there , my math just stalls out at a certain point for example ,and I just have to live with that ( my limitations ), but that they are somehow intellectually satisfied with something like -everything supposedly coming out of nothing for no reason at all- I find odd . Yeah , the chair , you , gasses , all made out of the same energy , the same building blocks , different densities ,different frequencies of vibration .. The shuper shmart computer geek types are fond of the simulation theory , I guess cuz when your a hammer everything is a nail , but they dont have any real faith in that particular assertion cuz they arent willing to jump in front of that moving semi to prove the ” underlying unreal “nature of it all are they ? So “constructed “reality” it is then cuz its real enough for our purposes “eh hoser “? ( my Canuck impression )

The western world has been placed under a spell. We used to ridicule our forefathers for believing in things like this but the more I ponder it it becomes the only logical answer. The solution is not to fight the system, but to fight to break the spell. And to break the spell one must fight the wizards. And to fight the wizards one must find the wizards.

Find the wizards and kill the wizards and the spell is broken. But all hell will break loose nonetheless. The world has been painted into a corner.

I’m finally making headway into H.G. Wells The Outline of History and in the section on language he says something to that effect. Once language was developed there were those who learned quickly how to use it to advantage and those were the people we refer to today as mystics, shaman, priests and wizards. They learned how to turn ideas into reality, manifest reality, but reality nonetheless. And they used it to gain control over the larger body of men.

And it continues to this day.

I have been re-reading Herodotus. This guy traveled all over the eastern Mediterranean and he was especially interested in peoples’ customs and religions. He traveled and wrote circa 450 BC yet he does not once mention any people called or resembling “jews”. If he did not mention them, then that means he did not encounter them nor was he told of them by others. And if he did not encounter them, well…

“Jews” were a creation of the Greek diaspora into Coele Syria and Palestine after the Alexander’s conquests. The first administrative mention of them in the historical record comes from Seleucid province of Coele-Syria in the late 3rd century BC. The Assyrians and Persians never mention “jews” despite over-running their territory. There is no record of “jews” paying tribute to any Asiatic king prior to the Macedonians.

Then there is the Khazar Khaganate issue as well. They are a fake people with a fake history. Next time a jew calls you antisemitic, tell them you are not antisemitic against jews because jews aren’t semites.

And as they are a fake people that means all religions they spawned are also fake. Fraud vitiates everything, including sin under the myth of the Roman invention Christ.

The largest debt bubble in the history of the world is about to burst.

As I understand the debt bubble, it’s a paper falsehood created by the scheme to replace money with instruments of debt, called “fiat currency”. That scheme, IMO, is more quickly dismantled than the long process of its creation would seem to suggest.

It can be accomplished by the inevitable collapse of national fiat currencies, along with an organized popular resistance to the planned replacement of fiat currencies with CBDCs. The removal of fiat currencies is inevitable, but the restoration of money is not. It will require popular resistance to the scheduled enactment of digital “money” by the same classes who invented and instituted the paper fiat debt “money.

I keep having the same dream that I am an old soul, witness to the end of a long cycle that has been repeated many times in our planets past. These cycles always end the same…total destruction after total loss of morality, compassion and justice. In the dream the Earth is divided into kingdoms ruled by Oligarchs and dictators who use technology to track and surveil everything and everyone. The sheep are slowly killed and in the end the Oligarchs fight among themselves for supremacy and light the fuse on TEOTWAWKI.

Is the plan already in motion, the kingdoms and the dictators selected and the mass extinction prepared and waiting in the wings? I sense Russia and China have been funded and chosen by the Banksters to be the instruments of destruction and enslavement…the only thing in the way of world tyranny is the lack of a World War to usher in the dystopian vision. The U.S. patriot who still believes in and defends the Constitution will be hunted and destroyed by the enemy within who have taken the 30 pieces of silver and promises of power to betray the nation. In the end, if God doesn’t intervene, we will once more have to crawl out of the mud and begin again. The solution to this nightmare is to wake up and prepare for the few remaining days of freedom and peace we have left…and I do mean wake the fcuk up!

I like it , but crawling out of the mud is just what we’ll have to do and maybe that’s for the best ? As you point out its all part of what seem to be the immutable cycles that govern the ebb and flow of both nature and humanity . Put another way, precisely what the presumptive ” ruling elite “are trying to do , and what is really causing the lions share of the strife are their desperate attempts( by hook and definitely crook ) to stave off that inevitable reckoning with the outcomes of their actions in this cause and effect universe.” Crawling out of the mud “has its own charms and produces its own unique mindset , a mindset that has the grit again to thrive in any environment as opposed to the hothouse flowers that are produced in that “season of plenty “or perhaps” endless summer ” but cannot withstand the elements . I literally crawl up out of the mud with great frequency myself , everytime I build another house in the rainy season( which where I live is damn near all year long ) and for thse who think it beneath them , well the majority of them wouldn’t last the day physically or psychologically . Crawlin up out of the mud is whats on the itinerary and as luck would have it I’ve got like a PHD in that discipline so I say ” meh , is that all you got ? I thought we were in for some real epic extroardinary struggle by the way folks are acting ” for me its just another day at the office .

I enjoy your views on perspective. Even when not the actual subject of your essays, perspective is woven into them and stands out boldly if one chooses to see the essay as a whole rather than focusing on small items such as your bus driving adventures. I suppose what I’m saying is that sometimes we can see our lives as a string of random events. But, from a different viewpoint, those random events are what defines the person we are.

Nations too have random and not so random events that define who they are. I see Fourth Turnings as just the obvious events that are too big to not be noticed. But, there are many smaller ones that if you look you can see transpired & brought us to the point in time we find ourselves.

I live in a home that is 155 years old. Countless people have been born and died here, some no doubt in the very room I am typing this from. Yet, this old house has stood strong over the joys and tragedies of the families that lived here through 2 World Wars, a Depression, and more cultural upheavals than I could possibly discuss. It has been here since before electricity, indoor plumbing, the automobile, and many more conveniences that we take for granted.

I believe this home will still be here long after I am gone providing shelter and refuge to another family full of hope, dreams, and fears. Perspective tells me that I am not very significant in the Grand Scheme, I don’t even know the names of the people that have lived here and not many years from now the new people in this home will have no idea who I was.

eyes wide shut…Or… it is quite the opposite. Abrahamic religions destroyed as much history as they could, and represent the fall of man. You can and will be far more moral and just without it.
An idea worth considering is the fact that the Abrahamic “god” is a self proclaimed “jealous” guy, (jealousy… a real god-like emotion, insane on many levels)… and the Old testament is clearly full of psycopathic violent acts similar (exactly similar) to what is happening in Gaza right now. As in “leave nothing breathing”. It’s an amazing amount of mesmerism that could make anyone ignore plain as day writings in the “black book”, and pretend otherwise… or just cop-out and say “there’s a reason we don’t know”…as Thomas Paine said: “belief in a cruel god makes a cruel man”. No, for actual truth and peace of mind, which is the whole game.. (peace from mind).. look to the east, the stuff that became watered down into Buddhism and Hinduism, but still exists if you care.

The tribes of Abraham and Moses needed a jealous vengeful God, so they imagined that’s what God was. By the time of Jesus, the Israelites were ready for a loving forgiving God, or so Jesus thought.
Really, don’t try to understand the mind or motives of God. I think there’s plenty of reason to believe that God is both vengeful and forgiving, and that which aspect you encounter depends mostly on your actions.

Dale- That is very profound, sums it up well. It’s even worse now, a great many of the current weak men are light in the loafers or dressed like a girl.

Here is my first comment with the new schema. What a sweet story that touches my heart because those “kids” are my age exactly. Why didn’t any of my teachers invite me to a party 46 years later? I got sent to the wrong schools!

There have been planetary alignments in all manner of formations all my life during which, and following, nothing out of the ordinary happened. There have been many solar eclipses also over my lifetime, no cataclysm followed and earthquakes happen regularly with or without eclipses.

I agree that this places in which we live is a big clock, but I don’t think planets aligning are a precursor to global events in most cases. I would have to see a timeline of data to believe fully in that sort of thing Unc.

Luke 21:7-36;

7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.

13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.

18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

In any event, BL, the main point is that The Clock transcends The Cult. And I appreciate you, and K.J., sharing what y’all believe above

I wasn’t going to throw that out there, but you did ask what we think. I agree with you on the whole most of the time. Mostly I appreciate good writing that is outside of the cookie cutter, cardboard sheep-think dribble. Again, very enjoyable piece.

I’m glad you threw it out there. Whenever we don’t think we should throw “it” out there, maybe that’s when we should the most. Yojimbo wrote a stand-alone post to that effect a few years ago in response to one of my comments to someone else. I said that’s when the magic (i.e. good stuff) happens

God is good. All the time.

I trusted Him through the scamdemic and did not get the mRNA injection.

I will trust Him through whatever happens in the world of mankind.
