“Still another danger is represented by those who, in their insatiable greed for money and the power which money gives, do not hesitate surreptitiously to evade the laws designed to safeguard the public from monopolistic extortion. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.”
Henry Wallace
I took a long walk on the boardwalk with my wife and mother last night, after a long day of packing, doctor appointments, travel, unpacking, food shopping and buying enough liquor to get me through the next week. I was confident the oligarchs had the Brexit vote rigged in their favor. I went to bed exhausted at 10:00.
I wake up this morning to global pandemonium. I just wanted to ride my bike on the boardwalk in peace, but Noooo. First it was raining, so I have to wait for the showers to end. Then I flip on the radio and hear about stock markets around the world crashing because the British people grew some balls and told their keepers to fuck off.
My first thought upon hearing the news was “Fourth Turning”. It’s all about the mood of the people in these countries. The establishment is constantly baffled during Fourth Turnings because they think their old methods of propaganda, fear and control will continue to work. They don’t realize the cyclical nature of history and how the current generational configuration will lead to earth shattering change and a complete destruction of the existing social order. Brexit is just another brick in the wall.
I also find it interesting that over the last month or so some of the most renowned investing billionaires in the world have announced their bearishness and had placed large bets on such an outcome. George Soros is the perfect example. He switched his position to shorting the market recently. Then he constantly blathered in the press about what a disaster Brexit would be for global markets. Then the captured legacy media convinced the world Brexit would never happen. When it “shockingly” happened last night, stock markets around the world crashed. Soros and his billionaire cronies made hundreds of millions in profits. Meanwhile, the poor schmuck with his 401k gets clobbered again.
Since I was 100% wrong in my prediction regarding Brexit, you can take my following observations with a grain of salt. But this is what I see:
Fourth Turnings never peter out. They intensify to a crescendo of turmoil, chaos, violence, war, and bloodshed. This Fourth Turning intensification just got turned up dramatically. It will eventually be turned up to 11.

The moon over Miami was bright and full as we drove over the JFK causeway. It’s reflection made Biscayne Bay look like a dancing sea of lights. With the backdrop of downtown Miami’s skyscrapers jutting up from the ocean like giant colorful Lego creations, the scene made me want to soar like an eagle over the entire bay just to take in all the beauty. But our marina destination held a greater calling.
My nephew and I had awoken at 3:30 am, stuffed down a quick breakfast and swallowed a few ginger caps to ward off any future motion sickness. All the essentials were packed the night before in boyish anticipation of the next day – coolers, lunch, water, and some fishing gear for any interesting roadside culverts that we might happen across. The ride down 95 from Pompano to Miami was fairly deserted, only having to dodge a few big scary trucks and old pickups packed with illegal migrants weaving from lane to lane at 90 mph. The saying “no license, no limit” drifts through my tired consciousness.
Many of you (including me) are headed for the FEMA Camps when TSHTF. You use nasty words and have bad ideas about those elected to govern us. “So what! We still have freedom of speech!“, you say. Oh, really?
The man in the video was just arrested by the FBI. No reason for his arrest has been given. None. However, we do know that he is extremely distrustful of the government. He has tweeted such horrible words as this —–“This country will NOT be fixed by down loading an app. or playing with your keyboards. GET INVOLVED! Be one who actually did something! CALLING PATRIOTS TO UNITE.” Clearly, this man is demented, and his arrest is warranted.
Here is a 90 sec video of Bill talking about making a fallout shelter in the mountains. Who needs a stinkin shelter when our government is here to protect us with thousands of nukes? He’s a batshit crazy dude, fer sure.

Yesterday morning, around 9AM, I watered the two hanging baskets by the front door. I didn’t lock the door after I was finished … cuz we live in a nice neighborhood with no crime.
Sometime around noon Ms. Freud checks her voice mail. Somehow she missed a call from earlier in the morning. It was Bank Of America, and they want her to come into the nearest branch office, ASAP. She leaves just before 1PM.
It’s time for my annual trek to Wildwood to mingle with the obese tattooed masses. My posts will be sporadic as I ride my bike, take my son and his friend deep sea fishing, read a book on the deck, sit on the beach, walk on the boardwalk with Avalon, drink heavily at the Shamrock, recover from nights at the Shamrock, listen to my mom tell me the same story for the 4th time, and learn some new curse words from Joyce, my Section 8 neighbor.
Section 8 ain’t doing so great. Mike is doing 3 years in the State Penitentiary for selling heroin in a school zone. Luckily, Joyce has shacked up with a new dude, who weighs about 350 pounds. A match made in welfare heaven. For all the newbies, I’ll repost my classic opening to summer, written five years ago.

We talk a lot on here about propaganda, lies, BS and such. Let’s turn it around. What do you believe? I’ll start.

It’s interesting that the car That Makes Sense – economically and functionally – gets almost no press while cars that don’t (like the Tesla and other electric cars) do.
Elio Motors (company web site here) had a near-production-ready car on on display at the New York Auto Show last week. Company founder Paul Elio gave a presentation to reporters and took questions.
Bet you didn’t hear a thing about it.
This is downright Weird.
You’d think the media would be champing at the bit to let the public know that there is a car on the verge of production (with 41,000 of them already spoken for via cash-down reservations) that – according to Paul Elio – will cost well under $10,000 (under $8,000 is the target) and go well over 80 miles on a gallon of gasoline.
Something wicked happened in Idaho’s rural Magic Valley. The evil has been compounded by politicians, media, and special-interest groups doing their damnedest to suppress the story and quell a righteous citizen rebellion.
On June 7, a brief news item appeared on local Twin Falls, Idaho–based KMVT about a “reported sexual assault that possibly occurred near the Fawnbrook Apartments” five days earlier. Unconfirmed accounts of the alleged crime on conservative-leaning websites, plus reports from area members of anti-jihad activist Brigitte Gabriel’s Act for America group and longtime watchdog Ann Corcoran’s Refugee Resettlement Watch blog, culminated in coverage on the powerhouse Drudge Report.
The social-media groundswell, untethered from the constraints of political correctness, forced government authorities to respond.
Police and the local prosecutor’s office grudgingly confirmed that an investigation had begun into the incident. The victim: a mentally disabled five-year-old girl. The alleged perpetrators: Three boys, ages 7, 10, and 14, from Sudanese and Iraqi immigrant families (predominantly Muslim) who have been in the country for less than two years — all but confirming that they are refugees.

If you read the presstitute media, Brexit—the referendum tomorrow on the UK’s exit from the
EU— is about racism. According to the story line, angry rightwing racists of violent inclinations want to leave the EU to avoid having to accept more dark-skinned immigrants into England.
Despite the constant propaganda against exit, polls indicated that more favored leaving the EU than remaining until a female member of Parliament, Jo Cox, was killed by a man that a witness said shouted “Brexit.” Cox was an opponent of leaving the EU.
The UK government and presstitute media used Cox’s murder to drive home the propaganda that violent racists were behind Brexit. However, other witnesses gave a different report. The Guardian, which led with the propaganda line, did report later in its account that “Other witnesses said the attack was launched after the MP became involved in an altercation involving two men near where she held her weekly surgery.” Of course, we will never know, because Cox’s murder is too valuable of a weapon against Brexit.
“The state — or, to make matters more concrete, the government — consists of a gang of (wo)men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can’t get, and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time it is made good by looting ‘A’ to satisfy ‘B’. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is a sort of advanced auction on stolen goods.”
