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…

Shambles: A Pointless Exercise?

Hugo emphasizes ‘Blackbushe’ in posting the story of the Bin Laden plane crashing into a car auction yesterday.Hugo brings news of a plane crash

Ironically, for the man seen as behind the 911 Twin Tower attack, a lot of his family seem to have been killed in plane crashes.

Osama bin Laden’s stepmother, half-sister and brother-in-law died after a private jet owned by the family exploded into a fireball after overshooting a runway while trying to land outside London.

Stepmother, half-sister, brother-in-law join his father and brother…

Bin Laden’s father Mohammed originally registered the tail number of the aircraft involved in yesterday’s crash in the 1960s.

He was flying the aircraft with the number HZ-IBN, when he died in another crash in 1967, however his family retained the registration.

The aircraft was registered to Salem Aviation – which was named after the dead terrorist’s eldest brother, who himself died in a crash in 1988 when he ploughed into powerlines in San Antonio, Texas.

On the same day, it was reported that Saudi Arabia was making an appeal to be dropped from pending and future 911 lawsuits.

Saudi Arabia insists it had nothing to do with 911

*Ground Zero was a bit of a scar, wasn’t it Clicky? And it was only yesterday that Thoughtful Man was showing me images of sCARification he’d just seen on Facebook page…*

 

*That’s right, Clicky! Scar is Simba’s evil uncle in ‘The Lion King‘… based on ‘Hamlet’, voiced by Jeremy Irons…*

*Of course, I spent quite a bit of time discussing the similarities between ‘Memento’ and ‘The Matrix’ with Hugo last year, Clicky…*

hand is main in french

*Main does sound like Mane, Clicky, and Leo was the main character in ‘Memento’…*

But what of ‘Blackbushe‘ I hear you ask: Hugo specifically emphasized ‘Blackbushe’ in his comment. Well, that’s where ‘Pointless’ comes into the equation and yesterday’s episode featured an obvious black bush… can you see where it is yet? 😉

Pointless Contestants

‘Pointless’ is the only TV show Thoughtful Man and I regularly watch. Obscure answers are best but a pointless one is the holy grail. Because he works on a Friday night, we watch the show in the wee small hours of Saturday morning, feasting on Maccy Ds whilst the children sleep soundly…

So before I’d read Hugo’s comment or even knew about the plane crash (Thoughtful Man told me about it when he got in, in the midst of the grease/brown paper prison-break from his bag laden arms), I watched Pointless, with a warm, oleaginous chin, and wondering about the bushy, blackness of contestant Ian’s facial hair…

Richard brings up Ian's Beard

I love the fact that ‘sidekick’ Richard Osman (a 6’7″ giant) has a laptop for a prop. He addresses the audience and particularly the fourth wall… he is the audience’s confident…

Order of beards

There was banter about the black, bushy beard… Apols, moustache…

moustache banter

I’m just going to focus on Ian in this shamble, though goodness knows the whole show is a syncfest 😉  The first round was ‘Beverages: Types of tea, coffees and herbal infusions from around the world’… this was the board, filled with my answers, shouted out between delicious beefy mouthfuls…

Ts and Cs First Board with Roobee's answers

Ian was up first…

ian gives flat white answer

Flat… White..?

Luckily he survived to Round two or this shamble would end here, but partner Louise completely fucked up her answer to ‘Name a chemical element beginning with the the letters A through to M…’

Louise fucks up with an superfluous R

Before poor Ian had a chance to answer, they were already eliminated from the show…

ian has already lost

Louise stole Ian's answer

Europium is a Pointless answer

Europium is a chemical element with symbol Eu and atomic number 63. It was discovered in 1901 and is named after the continent of Europe.

*Clicky, is it me or can you see a 911 in the year Eu was discovered?*

*Enough, Clicky. Let’s end this pointless shambles on a Song…*
