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:
·
This further cements the coming showdown between the people and the
establishment (politicians, bankers, mainstream media).
·
The EU is dead. France, Italy and other EU countries will push for
the same referendum and the people will vote out.
·
The insolvent banks across Europe were never fixed. The central
bankers just extended, pretended, and printed more debt. Bank failures will
trigger further economic strife.
·
The credibility of central bankers around the globe will completely
disintegrate as their one trick pony method of easy money has proven to be an
immense failure for the people.
·
With the disintegration of the EU, the possibility of civil chaos
and war with Russia goes up dramatically.
·
It will be interesting to see if the Fed and their Wall Street
banker puppeteers can stop the stock market from dropping by its destined 30%
to 50%. The overvaluation is drastic and this could be the Lehman moment, or at
least the Bear Stearns moment.
·
The credibility of the corporate mainstream media has further
disintegrated as they again have been revealed as nothing but propaganda
mouthpieces for the establishment. Their anti-Brexit poll numbers were fake.
They are not journalists, but cheerleaders for their corporate sponsors.
·
The constant media bashing of Trump and cheerleading for Clinton
will be disregarded by the silent majority in the U.S. Their polls and opinions
can be completely ignored and dismissed. The people of this country who don’t
live in NYC, DC, LA, or SF are pissed off. Their mood is dark. They want
change. The only person who will give them change is Trump.
·
I’m more convinced than ever that Trump will win the presidency in
November. This is a Fourth Turning. The status quo never wins during a Fourth
Turning.
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.
