Let's hope this is wrong, but what if it is right?
THE RACE WAR HAS BEGUN
For all the linear thinking people out there, do you need any more proof of the cyclical nature of history than the last two weeks? Politicians being assassinated in Britain. Then the people of Britain shocking the world by telling the politicians, EU bureaucrats, and central bankers to fuck off. Markets in turmoil. Currencies in turmoil.
Then the rule of law is completely trashed by the FBI, DOJ and the rest of the corrupt establishment running this country. Hillary Clinton commits multiple crimes, lies under oath, and skates away free to become the next president of the United States. If ever rational thinking people needed more proof the system is rigged, they got it this week. The simmering anger among the hoi poloi is palpable.
Then two police shootings of black men in the U.S. Obama doing his absolute best to fan the flames of racial discontent. And now the blowback of black terrorists slaughtering police in Dallas. There is nothing or no one who will keep this from intensifying.
As I’ve said hundreds of times over the last few years, Fourth Turnings DO NOT de-escalate or de-intensify. They build to a crescendo of violence, bloodshed, and war. The world is a powder keg and we are on the verge of a civil war, monetary war, cyber war, and eventually world war.
We can all go about our lives like everything will resolve itself peacefully. We can believe the establishment that everything is just fine. We can pretend the coming storms can be avoided. That’s delusional thinking. There are ten years left in this Fourth Turning. If you think the first eight years weren’t so hot, you haven’t seen anything yet. The two presidential candidates are lightning rods.
I wonder if Obama will call this domestic terrorism. Knowing what a lowlife race baiter he is, he’ll try to blame the NRA, Trump, and guns for this slaughter. I think I’ll take a safer route to my job this morning.
THE RACE WAR HAS BEGUN
Government and politicians really suck!!! They are about to once again, get a lot of people killed and cause terrible suffering. Oh well...the human condition.
Look in the mirror and you'll see the genesis of racial discontent. When then senator Obama was nominated, actually even before, the racists came out of the closet attacking him as not black enough and when that didn't catch fire, as ineligible for the Office of POTUS, then calling him a racist (a typical and all too common response by the new iteration of conservative, labeling others of acting as they do).
Today's conservatives use rhetoric framed by lies of omission and commission, half-truths, rumor, hate and fear mongering, innuendos and character assassination - all of which are the tools - seemingly the only tools - in the toolbox of the New Right, the 21st Century iteration of conservatism.
Reagan, Goldwater and Buckley must be spinning in their graves every time Trump, Ryan and McConnell, et al open their mouth, and speak for them or about conservative principles (what a laugh, conservative principles are one: "I got mine, fuck the rest of you)!
There is no greater dishonesty than those who point fingers at others while doing exactly what they claim to abhor, those who rewrite history & those who echo such bullshit, and especially those who claim to be patriots and Christians with their lips, but trod on our flag and the cross of Jesus with their feet.
