Dear Remnant: The Best Things in Life are Free By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com
An online friend and fellow blogger posted an article on his website last month entitled: “It’s a Fourth Turning, What Did You Expect?”. Since then, the question has roiled in my mind and my answer remains: “not this”. Recent events and circumstances are NOT what I expected because, honestly, they are more bizarre than I would have imagined.
Keep in mind the words you’re reading were typed by someone who has been waiting for the bombs to drop since high school. I’ve always had a sense of doom – perhaps due to my curious mind and my innate willingness to apply logic. As a result, I went Galt in the spring of 2011, or about 6 months before Ann Barnhardt, the commodities broker who joined Galt’s Gulch upon typing her epic letter against the corrupt collapse of MF Global.
As a member of Strauss and Howe’s Nomad Generation, my personal alarm bells went off around the time of the Judge Bork non-confirmation and the concurrent Black Monday, in 1987. Next came the stained blue dress, hanging chads, 911, The War on Terror, TARP, and Obamacare. By that time, I figured the jig was up. Then, it was the Benghazi/YouTube clownshow and by the time the red line in Syria was crossed, I was nestled into my allegorical “bunker” waiting for the TV screens to go static.

Now, Covidism? Nope. Definitely not the Fourth Turning I expected.
For those unfamiliar with Strauss and Howe Generational Theory, it is an ideological construct addressing how 20-year generational turnings consistently cycle into cataclysmic societal climaxes at every fourth generation, or roughly every 80 years since the year 1584 in America.
The last three American Fourth Turnings delivered the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World War II, respectively. Now, here we go again, 80 years later. Look around you. We are engulfed by what authors William Strauss and Neil Howe described as “the core elements of these [Fourth Turning] scenarios”: Debt, civic decay, and global disorder.
Note that each of the past fourth turnings were more cataclysmic than the last; and, seemingly, in direct correlation with the global advancement in technology.
In other words… in the age of the Technocracy, the sh*t is really about to hit the fan; an unbelievable volume of it, in fact. And, like a fuse being lit, it’s already burning toward the inevitable outcome: one way, or another.
