History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme. We've been here before, if any of you have read "The Fourth Turning" (pub 1997) https://www.fourthturning.com/

The last Fourth Turning the West experienced was the Great Depression / WWII era. Eighty-something years later and the West is in turmoil again... high inflation, possibly a great recession looming, social unrest everywhere, and two might forces polarizing nations and populations.

According to predictions in "The Fourth Turning", we are now nearing the end of this current Fourth Turning, a period of Crisis.

What comes next, whatever it is, is coming soon. I hope to be alive to see what the world (and America) looks like in the coming First Turning.

I'm guessing they are all feds.

Their policies are interesting- hopefully they will apoint Trump as King, though:
