The Concept of the Great Awakening is making the rounds and becoming stronger. A paradigm is morphing into existence, The video at the bottom of this link may be from a month ago, and is just one of several variations on a relatively common theme that have or are going around. Got mine in email. I am thinking that they are being viewed by an unknown but possibly large audience. I see viewership tallies on some related sites reaching the low hundreds of thousands. Don't know the accuracy of the counters. Hard to tell how strongly the general conservative population is being influenced, but most of my contacts appear very sober. Humor is in short supply. Few disagree these days when the enemy is named. If they do, they do not speak up. Perhaps it's the season and the long lockdown. Perhaps it will blow over. But the tinder seems primed. Whence will come the spark? welovetrump.com/2020/02/06/q-video-the-plan-to-save-the-world/

MB that is interesting but is it replete with legs. Is it going anywhere?? These videos have the democrats in panic mode hence the rapid fire actions to impeach Trump (even though they can't) and a stream of executive orders from Biden (Like a poorly aimed artillery barrage) More razor wire topped fences than in Berlin just after the wall went up - and they are still there More troops than have _ever_ been in DC even in the wars with the British - and they are still there Something is rotten in the state of 'USA'

‘Still, a man hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest’ (The Boxer, Simon and Garfunkel) So too with the Truth. It is our own construct through the variety of filters that are our past, our associations, and perhaps a devine spark ... if it is not smothered by the Dark One.

MB that is interesting but is it replete with legs. Is it going anywhere?? Who knows. Small sparks ignite big fires in tinder dry conditions. The rapid fire verbal threats of re-education camps, political and economic disenfranchisement, and all the rest, are either issued by fools ... or they really want a fight. As boys, there was an old saying that was thrown about the schoolyard ... "Don't let your alligator mouth overload your banty ass". The British probably thought they would have a nice little march out to Concord and Lexington.

A no-win-no-fee lawyer could also make a mint here - this is illegal under RICO, the hedge funds and traders are in different states to the Wall Street computers, so this is an interstate fraud organized between hedge funds and the SEC/Wall Street. As a minimum a cease and desist injunction could be raised against the hedge funds and SEC, all the way to a LARGE class action law suit against the _individuals_ involved in the hedge fund companies.

RICO was the first thing that came to my mind with regard to prosecution/demoralization of the Reddit gang and any future attempts on hurting the rulers. The law is apparently a one way weapon.

RICO was the first thing that came to my mind with regard to prosecution/demoralization of the Reddit gang and any future attempts on hurting the rulers. The law is apparently a one way weapon. He who grabs and effeciently applies the weapons dominates the Saeculum. I am repeating the following, which I posted on another thread, but which really belongs here. Seems a shame to let an opportunity to test a theory such as "the Fourth Turning" go to waste. I am launching an experiment to observe the social tendencies and beliefs of the current generation(s) in relation to generational theory, as described by Strauss and Howe and others. The functional ending generation in the any 4-cycle-generation saeculum as been named "the Hero" generation by S&H. These are the "shock troops" of a fourth turning ... those that will fight the fights and provide the generational "push" toward changes that will occur in a new cycle. Their peak is aged 21-30 today. The birth years for these "millennials" peaks in the 1990s and tails from the late 80s and into the early 2000s. The following generation, named "artist" by S&H (and called Generation Z or Zoomers) peaks in the 2000s and tail from the 90s and into the 2010s. Their peak is aged 11-20. They are the functional administrators and entrepaneurs of whatever structure falls out of a fourth turning. My son falls squarely on the cusp of the two, born 2000. So thus, the experiment. While not a random sample by any stretch, I will write down what he and his compatriots feel are the major issues and their tendencies. So far, I find no strong support for either Left or Right in this small group. They will not fight for either Trump or AOC (or whoever represents the Left). They seem to view either side as equally stupid, incompetent and unresponsive to what they believe their needs are. AND. they are strongly opposed to any type of authoritarian government. That's a relief. Instead, they prefer that government stay the hell out of other peoples business. There is however, strong support for some type of socialized medicine, as they view the current system as not only unfair, but perhaps as the equivalent of that "great sucking sound" of Ross Perot, only this one comes from the bank accounts of the rich. They view it as a threat to their financial future. The millennials seem functionally and dogmatically split. This is probably historically true in all 4-cycle packages (a saeculum), although the degree of fragmentation may differ geographically through time. For example, the driving generations of the American Revolutionary Saeculum, while split between revolutionaries and loyalists, was dominated by the former. The Civil War Saeculum was dramatically split between North and South with only a bloody war of conquest settling the issue. The Great Power Saeculum was again largely cohesive in North America, even through the Great Depression and WWII. Europe was the area ripped apart. If this one-on one-off relationship continues, we may be in for a doozy. All the signs point to such a struggle. The two sides are dug in and prepped for a fight. Looks like the Bloody Kansas fight of the 1850s. As usual, the Prophet generation (us Boomers) are responsible , as similar prophet generations have been in previous saeculum. WE are the booming voices of both sides … setting the dominant social dogmas to which the millennials flock. This of course, is theory, but it appears to be playing out again. And this time, we may have an emerging cold period to go along with it.

I read. I saw. I liked. Now who in the States will lead? What organizations become natural magnets for opposition? This should be an interstate effort ... even in otherwise enemy territory. Who will provide the legal cover to ensure that loud-mouthed deplorables are not crushed by the oligarchs and government apparatchiks. This later is very important.

The French have a different approach There was a time in UK when returning politicians or jobsworths would be unceremoniously and repeatedly thrown into duckponds
