A Fourth Turning Tale – Rendered Deaf, Dumb AND Blind…

Dear Reader, this Fourth Turning Green Colour Revolution post starts with a Song…

*Credit where it’s due, Leggy posted it… /lights up and smokes…*

… that inspired a movie, released in 1972, directed by the Mitchell Brothers…

*Wrong Mitchell Brothers, Clicky… /rolls eyes…*

… one of whom aspired to be an “important” director like Roman Polanski…

*/shakes head… No, wrong Polanski… /drags… Although I’d say drugging and raping a child is pretty darn green…*

… and is credited with ‘ushering in the ‘Golden Age of Porn’…

*/cough splutter… That had better be clean, Clicky. We don’t want to go embarrassing Dear Reader now, do we..?*

… The movie ‘Behind the Green Door’ was one of the first hard-core porn flicks to be widely released in American cinemas. In terms of the Fourth Turning, 1972 fell during the height of this saeculum’s Second Turning. Interestingly, the word ‘porn’ was coined in 1962, just before the the Summer turning began…

*It is the growing season, Clicky. Plant the seed in late Spring and watch it grow…*

*Same year as the ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’…/taps ash…*

*Scary…*

… And it got me to thinking about ‘Fear Porn’, psychology and Psychological Operations, or Psy-Ops that could have been deployed in this Fourth Turning Kelly (War) Green Colour Revolution…

*Coined in 2009… /drags… and the UK government’s Nudge Unit was set up in 2010… /plumes smoke… Interesting timing, no?*

… And the types of Fear Porn we’ve been subjected to since 1997, the start of the this Winter (Crisis) Turning…

*Global warming caused by humans – Green…*

*Global breakdown of the digital/Matrix – Green…*

*Global war on Islamic terror – Green…*

*Global pandemics and epidemics of sickness – Green…*

*Global Financial Crisis – Green… /stubs butt… It’s mazing, Clicky, how many of these fear porn generators are global…*

… Now, ‘Pessimism Porn’ or ‘Fear Porn’ are current Fourth Turning neologisms, that is newly coined phrases or words…

*”The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” was from FDR’s inaugural address in 1933, the previous Fourth Turning…*

… And we’ve had a couple of beauties coined since 1997…

*I think we’ve left it a tad late there, Clicky… /grimaces…*

*Islamists are scary…*

*Yeah, cancelled or killed… /shifts gaze…*

*Fear and love, the two most potent e-motional stimulants…*

*Addiction to porn is a terrible thing…*

*The Politics of Envy is seriously fucked up, Clicky…*

… It’s no wonder, Dear Reader, that anxiety levels are skyrocketing and doomscrolling – another recently introduced neologic word – seems to have become a global pastime.

If we’re totally honest about it, the instigators of the Fourth Turning Kelly Green Colour Revolution were merely nudging at an open door. It just so happened to be green.

Extended CLICK5… CLICKB8: A Fourth Turning Tale – The Battle of Bikini Britain…

A Fourth Turning Tale – Sauce For The Goose Is Source Code For The Proper Gander…

Sew… Dear Reader, at the very start of the month I posted on my sync thinking that not only are we experiencing a colour revolution, that’s theme is GREEN…

*Indeed Kelly ‘War’ Green, Clicky… /lights up and smokes… and the internet is very much involved, which is just so Matrixy green…*

… but also that our current Fourth/Winter/Crisis Turning probably started earlier than most people think, with the Dot-Com financial crash in 2000 (money/green), closely followed by the felling of the Twin Towers on 9/11 in 2001 (Muslim/green). All Fourth Turnings start with a bang, financial or physical; ours started with both… 

*Published in the last First Turning and was some fucking epic foreshadowing, Clicky… /taps ash…*

… Then add a massive outbreak of Foot & Mouth disease in Blighty in 2001, chipping in a wholesale ritual burning of livestock (sickness/green) to really set the tone…

*Ugh. He makes me feel sick, Clicky, that’s green… /dry retch…*

… Of course in between then and now we’ve had:

  • The EU (flag/blue+yellow=green) introducing the Euro currency (money/green);

  • The War on Terror and invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria (Muslim/green);

  • The Arab Spring (green/green);

  • Ukraine War (flag/blue+yellow=green);

  • Catholic Church covering up pedo practices and immigrant Muslim rape gangs targeting British and European white girls (youth/green); 

  • Outbreaks of SARS, Swine Flu, Ebola and Covid-19 (sickness/green);

  • Northern Rock crash in 2007 followed by The Financial Crash of 2008 followed by the European debt crisis in 2010 (money/green);

  • Climate Change and Net Zero policies (eco-bollocks/green);

  • Social Justice campaigns (politics of envy/green);

  • Digitization of everything (Matrix/green).

This is just a brief listing from the past 25 years off the top of my head, Dear Reader. I’m sure there are more green colour revolution examples and if you think of any, then please do pop them in the comments, below 😀

*Ha! The idiom mutilated for the post’s title. Thanks Clicky… /puffs contentedly… You know, EM Burlingame reckons the Estrogens are behind it all…*

… Speaking of comments, it was in the comment section of my post of 1st December that I noticed that the movie Magnolia was also released in 1999, the same year as The Matrix. It occurred to me that perhaps an opposing force was running a Green counter-colour revolution. Perhaps the film should have been called MAGAnolia 😉

… Whereas The Matrix is about escaping from a digital green prison, Magnolia deals with the fallout from generational relationships – all very Fourth Turning Generational Theory – topped off with a sudden storm of green frogs cascading out of nowhere, creating chaos and changing everything…

*Did you know Hillary Clinton’s Secret Service code name was ‘Evergreen’, Clicky? …/stubs butt… Of course the witch is ever green. Thank goodness she didn’t win in 2016…*

… And precipitating a healing process for the cast of characters. Great film, Magnolia. Sorry for the frog spoiler, Dear Reader, but it is definitely worth a viewing…

*There is no ‘QAnon’, Clicky. There is Q, a military operation backing Donald Trump, and there are The Anons, an army of digital frogs, interrogating the Q drops and battling the lamestream media Wormtongues. Seriously, SNL shouldn’t have brought a witch to a wizard fight…*

*Healing the sovereign…*

… The colour green has many positive associations as well as bad, perfect for a counter-revolutionary force as this Winter Kelly Green Fourth Turning comes to an end and the next Spring Green First Turning unfurls…

Dear Reader, green also means GO 😉 Have a Song…

A Fourth Turning Tale – The Kelly Green Colour Revolution…

Dear Reader, I have been saying it for years – see Clicky’s posts here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here – but yesterday, narrative guru Walter Kirn on X nailed the naming of the colour revolution that we’ve all being subjected to…

… Kelly Green, it is a Pan–tone…

… And, as we’ve been noticing at the LoL for the past few years, there has been a confluence of ‘green’ during this Fourth Turning:

That’s a lot of clicking, Dear Reader, but as the famous Irish (green) comedian used to say, ‘there’s more‘…

… One of my favourite films has a lead character called Kathleen Kelly. What does ‘Kelly’ mean?

… Which makes sense…

… as ‘You’ve Got Mail’ came out in 1999, along with another film that was completely enveloped in green, capturing imaginations from it’s very first scene. So much so, that people think it’s their reality…

… And was directed by brothers who became sisters (trans). So, I’m now starting to think that this Fourth Turning started earlier than originally thought, with the 2000 Dot-com crash (money), quickly followed in 2001 with the infamous attack on 9/11 (blamed on Islam)…

… Which would mean that this Fourth Turning revolution is a colour revolution and is now already 25 years in duration. That brings us back to Mark…

… So, perhaps this Fourth Turning is approaching its end, Dear Reader… Or am I just being green about it? Have a Song…
