Neil Howe: The Entire Power Structure Will Be Shattered During This Unfolding Fourth Turning (PT2)​


Here in Part 2, famed researcher and demographer Neil Howe, co-author of the best-selling book The Fourth Turning, explains why the weight of history strongly suggests we are headed into a decade-plus period of economic and social disruption that will transform our political, economic, financial and social systems. 45:29
 
And here's a couple of the devils that will try to help us get there:

"What do we need so many humans for." 2 1/2 min


"we can hack humans." 6 1/2 min
 
Eleven minutes in, this genius (Howe) tries to tell us that inflation is the Great Equalizer.

Only in that it brings about a collapse that wipes everyone out.

Short of that, Inflation is the result of money-printing, paid as seigniorage to the Rentier Class...their Free Money sucking the value out of those dollars belonging to savers and investors.

Anyone who thinks inflation is a savior...either works for FedGov or is controlled by them.

I just lost a lot of respect for this guy. I haven't read much of him; only the overview on the Strauss-Howe Generational Theory. Which appears to be playing out, exactly.

But...inflating the currency, gonna save us? Did we learn NOTHING from forty years ago?

The Old Testament portrays King Solomon as the wisest of all men. In addition to recording his wisdom in the book of Proverbs while dealing with 700 wives and 300 concubines, he also became a chart-topping songwriter in the 1960s (some 3,000 years after his death) with a little help from Pete Seeger and the Byrds.

Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season) is borrowed almost entirely from Solomon’s Book of Ecclesiastes. People knew, even in the 10th century BC, that life had seasons, that the best and worst would come and go, then later return. It was a message that clearly resonated in the 1960s and would probably resonate now if today’s popular musical tastes allowed it.

Today we’ll continue reviewing Neil Howe’s magisterial new book, The Fourth Turning Is Here, focusing on the Millennial Generation’s important role in the coming crisis. Then we’ll think about what the crisis may look like. Finally—because I always try to look on the bright side—we’ll consider what Neil expects in the “First Turning” that will follow.

How A Book Perfectly Predicted Our Current Crisis Nearly 30 Years Ago And What We Can Learn From It​

One book precisely predicted the current crisis we are in now, almost 30 years ago. I outline the book’s thesis, its predictions and what we can learn from it about the future.

Not having watched the video - yet - but history will repeat. With rhymes.

But patterns emerge. With every Fourth Turning, and America has been through four, now...each one first is surrounded by a crisis. First, British oppression. Then, the moral-panic regarding slavery. Then, the fear, not totally imaginary, about German racialist totalitarianism taking over the entire civilized world.

Now, it's the mindless Elites fomenting chaos, agitating for war (to hide their financial crimes) and looking to launch a democide.

After the crisis, comes war. Revolutionary; between the States, world-war, and now, a Russian nuclear war.

IN the crisis, comes - in our history, and others' - the threat of totalitarianism. In some places and cases, it comes to be.

The Revolutionary War, once wound down, had a faction that wanted to make Washington a king. There were others who DID want to be king - Aaron Burr (Hamilton would rather have been the King's Royal Banker) and perhaps Benedict Arnold.

Lincoln basically wadded up the Constitution and its protections - AND its unstated, but obvious, premises. Such as how the States (acknowledged as having Plenary [all-encompassing] Powers, and having entered into a contract with the Union [ratification]) had no right to WITHDRAW from that contract.

AND that that was a matter of law, properly fought in the Courts. Instead, Lincoln chose to fight it using other people's children.

Roosevelt's war - which, for us, is what it was - was Roosevelt's structuring. He wanted in and engineered it, by ignoring warnings of an attack on American property (Pearl Harbor). He wanted to manipulate the mood of the Sheeple.

This AFTER creating the Regulatory State that violated spirit and section of the Constitution. Roosevelt was an obvious tyrant - cautious in how he chose to grow power, but power and control were his aims. It was our fortune that he only lasted 12 years.

Now we are in another such push - this time the enemy is faceless, shapeless; unseen players using money off computer controls. Their leadership answers to Davos and Renton and Omaha, not to us. To the extent they even answer.

Biden was no tyrant - he was a demented stooge. Barry has the heart of a tyrant, but the mind of a shine-boy. Trump is obviously no tyrant - he's a lot of noise, but he is a competent manager and has a love of country.

Which will be his downfall - you can't abide the law and fight the lawless. Revolutions seldom finish out with the same leaders they start with - and this one will be no different. Trump will be displaced, quietly or messily.

I expect that we're gonna see our own Nationalist leader who's not afraid to use the same Identy Politics the Left has used, against the moronic Left.

At this point, I no longer even fear it. We could do far worse. If whoever it is, is an effective leader...so be it. The table has been set; and it's time to take out the garbage. Both from office and the garbage that our garbage leaders brought in.

I turned that lying son of a b!tch OFF.

The ONLY people who lost their jobs, were in USAID and other propaganda outlets. NO air-traffic-controllers were laid off. NO cuts in vital services.

So he's worried that we won't get our compelled mRNA Jabs this winter. Mostly, he's worried that DOGE doesn't have the masses frothing at the mouth.

He needs arrest for Insurrection. Lying propagandist POS.
