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 Pantone

… 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…

Fool, Vainglorious Fool!

By Roo B. Doo


Was it worth the waiting for?
Labour’s Nineteen Eighty-Four?
Everyone of them is cru-el!
Ev’ry Tory let us down
Losing seats to Labour clowns
Tossing out our Brexit renew-al!
There’s not a hope, not a crumb of comfort to find
In this skank government that’s installed
And there’s nothing to stop us from going downhill
With a worse Prime Minister that’s hard to im-ag-ine

Fool, vainglorious fool!
Keir Starmer’s a bastard!
He’s a lying tool
It’s written in Hansard!
Small eyes lost a face of dough
He craves acquiescence
Demands we watch the TV show –
Ad-ol-escence!

Fool, vainglorious fool!
He thinks he’s in the big league
Bestriding the world stage
With a Ukrainian in fatigues
Just picture the hugging freaks
Oh fuck, we are screwed!
Oh, fool,
Wrong-headed fool,
Treasonous fool,
Vainglorous fool.

Fool, vainglorious fool!
Don’t care what we’re demanding
Deaf!
Willfully blind!
Rude!
So long as he looks commanding
Just don’t think of tweeting that
Or do online revealing
Plod will come and then you’ll know that
Banged-up feeling!

Fool, vainglorious fool!
What wouldn’t we give for
A general election soon
Not that there’s much else to vote for
Why should we be fated to
Be replaced and denude
By that tool!
Malevolent fool!
Wrong-headed fool!
Treasonous fool!
Fatuous fool!
Murderous fool!
Vainglorious fool!
