Are we on the cusp of an event of enormous magnitude happening in our country?

Read "The Fourth Turning". I guarantee you Trump and Bannon have.

It's essentially all line up exactly as it always has. We are entering a crisis period that could go either way.

No. Bama will beat LSU........AGAIN

I think so

9/11 was staged by the CIA and foregin intelligence agencies

I wouldn't put it past the CIA/foreign intelligence to stage something else to try and change the direction

No. Step away from the computer and get out and do some fishing.

For real.... The political machine is consuming the consciousness of many Americans. Let it go. Go fishing.

Why people cling to this time period is beyond me.


Relax. Everything will be fine.

The answer to your last question is no, not all of us. Anyone who didn't recognize the last election being something of enormous magnitude isn't awake.

What happens next is open to debate and interpretation, but my take is the election was just the beginning. And it can go either way. The realist in me says it's already too late, the optimist says Trump is indeed a time traveler of sorts. Of sorts. He seems to have the instinct and ability to pull rabbits out of hats.

If this really is about returning some power to the people, we are in for some extremely interesting times.

To me both Hillary and Obama's persona right now seem to be saying, not now, but it's inevitable later. It, whatever it is, has been delayed.

All of this is predicated on the deep state actually existing. If not deep state, than permanent government. That does exist, we just don't know how corrupt it is or isn't.

We are entering a changing of the guard so to speak. Every 50 years or so this happens as the new generations seize power from the old and there is a culture struggle for the new norm. It happens within country and globally.

Right now there are 3 main struggles going on.

1. Progressivism vs Alt Right Conservatism - this is different than your classical liberal/conservative fight. More of a culture war between PC culture and the more classical American attitudes. Progressives are not liberals because they believe in silencing opposition and controlling all means of a narrative. They are more left wing fascists. Alt Right conservatives aren't traditional conservatives because they tend to be ok with big govt policy as long as it reinforces their cultural ideas. They also support nationalism and protectionist trade policy, a sharp change from free trade ideas of recent past.

2. The People vs The Establishment - one of the few things everyone agrees on, the elite in the media and the politicians and big business executives are out of control. The people with newfound access to information via the Internet are awakening, and seeking to put a check on the elites power. The elite are getting noticeably desperate and less quiet about their intentions. Of the 3 battles, this is the most dangerous one to our country if history is any indicator.

3. Globalists vs Nationalist - this is the worldwide struggle going on now. This one is also dangerous as it's the one that could spark a major world conflict. The global elite seek to tear down nation sovereignty and democracy in favor of a new world order and their own seat at the table. Nationalist movements seek to do what's best for each individual country and stop the flow of 3rd world people into the civilized world.

Could be....the Cubs won the world series, the Falcons damn near won the super bowl and Tennessee turned the corner....oh wait,.....never mind...


I think we are definitely living in interesting times....the bill for western civilization mis-treating every group of people who are white, christian males with family connections and wealth is going to come due someday....and that butchers bill is not going to small....

believe it when I see it. Everyone always thinks they're living in unprecedented times.

Its rarely unprecedented. People just don't study history. We repeat the same mistakes over and over. For example the US will eventually go the way of the Roman Empire due to the faults of human nature.
