The Fourth Turning

Written by John Carroll

Something big is coming. Everyone can sense it just beyond the horizon. It’s alluded to every day by two primary terms – the Great Reset and the Great Awakening.  When examined through more of an apolitical and anthropological lens, however, another term which has gained traction recently is the Fourth Turning:

The crux of this theory has been expressed through countless variations of the following meme, which have proliferated during the past several years:

The challenges we now face seem far greater in scope than in any previous Fourth Turning. As we theorized in World War Truth, we are likely already in the middle of WWIII, which is the first literal world war, in that every person on the planet is forced to participate to some degree. The declared pandemic made it painfully clear that the Hegelian Dialectics, mostly employed to slowly chip away at our cultural homogeneity and national sovereignty over the past decades, are now set to become much bolder. Going forward, they will be aimed at violently centralizing our financial systems, filling our bodies with bugs, poison, and computer chips, and ultimately stealing our birthright.

How did we get to this point?

First, let us consider the ramifications of the end of a saeculum. When the men and women who fought in the Revolution passed away, their idiosyncratic vision of America died with them. By the time the Civil War finally broke out, the Southern states had come to see their membership in the Union as an abusive relationship, as explained in The War of Northern Aggression and Hypocrisy. Similarly, today, we scoff at the idea of fighting to uphold “Our Democracy,” which was championed by the Greatest Generation in the last Fourth Turning, but which is now determined to take us in a direction we refuse to go.

That brings us to the next cause of the current crisis. We have reached the Tipping Point, a theory first proposed by Malcolm Gladwell, then refined by scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York: “They found that when 10 percent of the population holds an unshakable belief, the majority of the society will eventually adopt it.” More specifically, we are racing toward an inflection point, because two Tipping Points, which are diametrically opposed, have been reached simultaneously. Case in point: at least 10% of Americans know for a fact that the 2020 election was stolen, and at least another 10% of Americans know for a fact that it wasn’t. Recall the timeline battle discussed in The Arms Race of Ideas:

This particular issue of the 2020 election remains unresolved, since at least 10% of Americans don’t accept the Biden administration as legitimate. Meanwhile, Trump is continuing to force the issue, and his accusations of fraud, along with his proposed solutions, reached new heights in December:

Of course, the truth about the 2020 election isn’t the only inflection point we’re approaching. Tipping Point showdowns have been set in seemingly every facet of society, around life and death issues at the civilizational level. The proponents of climate change, for example, argue that if the governments of the world fail to marshal all the instruments of power to end carbon emissions, all life on Earth will end. These people easily make up 10% of Americans, as do we, who believe climate change is a hoax, designed to take away everything we hold dear. Another inflection point can be identified over the issue of abortion. The pro-life faction believes we are committing the unspeakable crime of infanticide, punishable by divine wrath, while our opponents are convinced that ending it equates to an attack on their bodily autonomy. In an ironic twist, they came to hold the unshakeable belief that failing to violate our bodily autonomy with experimental gene therapies would cost them their own lives.

These issues are crusaded for and against with not just passion, but religious fervor, and rightly so. The Fourth Turning is absolutely a religious struggle, with the two main belligerents being Scientism versus Christianity. This is no longer a simple, civil debate over reason and faith, as the powers behind Scientism have gone out of their way to shape their cause as the exact opposite of Christianity, forcing those sitting on the sidelines to accept an ultimatum. Regardless of which faction people choose, their entire belief system will likely be put to the test via one of the greatest mysteries in our collective human culture.

Are we alone in the universe? We’re going to find out.

Since late 2017, the mainstream media has deliberately pushed narratives acknowledging the existence of UFOs, a notion they previously always dismissed as ridiculous. There is obviously a reason for this disclosure, but we genuinely have no idea what it is. Will it be Project Blue Beam? If so, will the fake aliens be presented as a hostile force, against which humanity must surrender its sovereignty and unite militarily? Perhaps a peaceful force, with a Hologram messiah in the sky explaining humanity’s “true” origins? On the other hand, what if aliens are real, and the media disclosure was launched ahead of a future intergalactic visit that cannot be stopped? What would we learn from them? How would our understanding of the universe change?

The alien question is so consequential that it could probably settle most of our disputes, regardless of which direction we go from there. One thing is for sure – our disputes will be settled. “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Our unshakeable beliefs form the very foundation of our reality, and from these sets of Tipping Points will arise a winner. The fact that Fourth Turnings are a cyclical and reoccurring phenomenon suggests that the laws of the universe demand it.

Along the way, we’re going to have to deal with the collapse of most what we’ve taken for granted all our lives. We’re all eagerly waiting for the “everything bubble” to pop, and for the US dollar to finally fail, as all fiat currencies have in the past. We’re teetering on the edge of nuclear war, our infrastructure is crumbling, and we’re facing food and energy crises in the coming years. These hardships will cause further polarization as each side will blame the other, and something will eventually give.

From the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines and countless food processing centers, and the chemical spills via train derailments, the elites are now accelerating our descent into pandemonium. The Fourth Turning would have arrived with or without them, but they will attempt to guide and control events from on high in the hopes of retaining their privileged status. Unfortunately for them, there will simply be too many unpredictable X factors to control everything, and the future is very much still a blank canvas. That’s where we come in. Each of us will have an opportunity to take some kind of action in what lies ahead. We might as well. Those who do nothing will not be left alone.

This is the Fourth Turning – a perfect storm of politics, religion, science, culture, and economics, which have all been transformed into battlefields, in what will be the culmination of fifth generation warfare. It is total war, and it is holy war. It will be our duty to find our courage and charge into the unknown, to push ourselves beyond our known limits and seize control of our collective consciousness. So, strap in, because we’re about to embark on the most epic adventure of our lives. It’s happening.

It’s just crazy to think about how all this impending chaos and our rendezvous with destiny was triggered by something as small as Gamergate.
