Until three months ago
the 2016 presidential election was in control of the establishment. The Party
was putting forth their chosen crony capitalist figureheads – Jeb Bush and
Hillary Clinton. They are hand-picked known controllable entities who will not
upset the existing corrupt system. They are equally acceptable to Goldman
Sachs, the Federal Reserve, the military industrial complex, the sickcare
industry, mega-corporate America, the moneyed interests, and the never changing
government apparatchiks. The one party system is designed to give the
appearance of choice, while in reality there is no difference between the
policies of the two heads of one party and their candidate products. But now
Donald Trump has stormed onto the scene from the reality TV world to tell the
establishment – You’re
Fired!!!
As Hillary’s crimes and lies catch up to her and Jeb Bush
drowns in a sea of irrelevance, low energy, and passionless rhetoric, Trump and
Bernie Sanders have surged ahead in the polls. The country is tired of the
Clinton and Bush dynasties. They are tired of the existing ruling authority. My
initial reaction to Trump’s entering the presidential race was scorn. He’s a
bloviating, egocentric, self-promoting, reality TV parody of himself. After
seeing him in action for the last three months it has become apparent the country
deserves a president like Trump……………
No matter who is elected in November 2016, there is no turning
back. Winter is here and Spring is many years away. Grim times will befall the
world. The potential for tragic consequences is growing by the day. The storm
clouds are gathering on the horizon. There will certainly be famine, chaos,
death, destruction, and war. Let’s pray our Grey Champion can lead us through
the valley of death to a new High.
“The risk of catastrophe will be very high. The
nation could erupt into insurrection or civil violence, crack up
geographically, or succumb to authoritarian rule. If there is a war, it is
likely to be one of maximum risk and effort – in other words, a total war.
Every Fourth Turning has registered an upward ratchet in the technology of
destruction, and in mankind’s willingness to use it.” –
Strauss & Howe –The Fourth Turning
In Part
3 I will try to assess which channels of distress are likely to burst forth
with the molten ingredients of this Fourth Turning, and lastly make some
educated guesses about potential climaxes.
