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…ย 

*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);ย 

  • 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 ๐Ÿ˜€

*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.ย It occurred to me that perhaps an opposing force was running a Green counter-colour revolution. Perhaps the film should have been called MAGAnolia ๐Ÿ˜‰

… 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ Have a Song…

Timing: The Art Of The Sync

So, yesterday, after having a whinge at being silenced on X (I am now officially eX-Twitter), I started my binge of Mad Men season 7 and the very first scene of the first episode was a prime example of a encountering a synchronicity. Dear Reader, it was a sync…

… Interestingly enough, that sync was reinforced by the appearance of ‘Fourth Wall’ as an answer on the episode of Pointless that Thoughtful Man and I watched whilst eating tea this evening. We’ve a backlog and only just started watching series 34 from September. EX-newsreader, Angela Rippon is in Richard’s chair, which thinking about it now is also a sync – in the above clip, Freddie is sitting in a chair pitching on behalf of Donald Draper, whose real name is Dick – but I’ve been thinking about how Freddie is essentially breaking the fourth wall as he makes his pitch to camera. I know that Peggy and I, both members of the audience, said “Wow!” at the same time; however, hers was scripted and mine wasn’t.ย 

Pointless has always been a very syncy tv show for me. I have written posts ๐Ÿ˜‰ This evening, Thoughtful Man asked me I’d heard that the Louvre had been robbed during the first round of the show regarding the definitions of words to do with art and artistic terms. I hadn’t heard about the robbery but then I’d been watching Mad Men all afternoon and staying off of X…

So, French ‘crown jewels’ belonging to Napoleon were brazenly stolen from the Apollo room this morning because the Louvre is under reconstruction. That puts me in mind of Clicky’s post from this week about Trump the expert on construction and reconstruction and my post from the summer syncing Trump to Apollo.

Sidenote: One of the most unfortunately effects of short-sighted actions of X toward me has been to destroy my art. My tweets no longer display, defacing Clicky’s carefully constructed story collages. What can I say, he talks in clicks

And during my few viewings of my X feed, there have been a significant number of posts featuring Donald Trump and crowns. This one also features Times Square, famous for its huge advertisements…

Whilst on X I listened to a couple of podcasts with top quality analysis of what’s actually going on and they are well worth investing some time to listen to. Conversation pieces chaired by Crypto Rich. I have no idea if his name is ‘Rich’, a shortening of Richard but the other shortening of that name is ‘Dick’…

Finally, the last episode of Mad Men that I watched early this morning, before turning in for bed, featured both Napoleon and Apollo, and to my mind, Dear Reader, that is quite the fucking sync…

Spoiler alert: Both Dons – Trump and Draper – both ‘come back from leave’ and win their battles.

I have the last two episodes to watch tonight. It’s a great TV series. I shall miss the excessive smoking, drinking, bonking and advertising, the artform of the 20th century according to Marshall McLuhan. I also have to iron, so I’ll end this post here and leave you with a Song…
