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…

Nasty Nazis and the Not-Sees

Dear Reader, I’ve decided. After a lot of thought, I’m plumping for 1st July 2007 as the date the fourth and final turning of the Millennial Saeculum probably occurred.

Regular visitors to the LoL may know that I’ve mentioned The Fourth Turning before, but if you’ve missed those posts, they can be found by…

Clicky speaks

*/jumps… Oh hello, Clicky! Don’t sneak up on me like that… Ah, you’ve got the link. Excellent! …pats snout… I’m writing a post for any Not-Sees out there…*

*Thanks! …/inhales… Well, there’s a lot of blathering going on in politics and media right now about nasty Nazis… /exhales… Seems pretty much up for grabs…*

*Naturally, I replied… /drags…*

*/blows smoke ring… And ‘the Law‘ has been relaxed, somewhat…*

*Exactly! Michael has spoken …/cough… I’d thought I’d see if I can’t help some of them Not-Sees to maybe, I dunno… /taps ash… look past the trees for once…*

*/sharp intake of breath…*

*Well, quite! History doesn’t repeat but it does rhyme… /exhales… And if you will religiously and unquestioningly implement and apply a nasty Nazi ideal… Well, just be careful what you wish for, that’s what I say… /puffs away… Anyway, I thought I’d give it another go…*

*/sigh… Prolly… /stubs butt…*

Dear Reader, the previous fourth turning occurred in the Great Power Saeculum…

The Great Depression & World War II (Fourth Turning, 1929–1946) began suddenly with the Black Tuesday stock-market crash. After a three-year economic free fall,
the Great Depression triggered the New Deal revolution, a vast expansion of government, and hopes for a renewal of national community. After Pearl Harbor,
America planned, mobilized, and produced for war on a scale that made possible the massive D-Day invasion (in 1944). Two years later, the crisis mood eased with America’s surprisingly trouble-free demobilization.

… The parallels are there to see…

*Mm… Orange is a Shining colour, Clicky…*

Fanta originated as a result of difficulties importing Coca-Cola syrup into Nazi Germany during World War II due to a trade embargo.To circumvent this, Max Keith, the head of Coca-Cola Deutschland (Coca-Cola GmbH) during the war, decided to create a new product for the German market, using only ingredients available in Germany at the time, including whey and apple pomace—the “leftovers of leftovers”, as Keith later recalled. The name was the result of a brief brainstorming session, which started with Keith’s exhorting his team to “use their imagination” (Fantasie in German), to which one of his salesmen, Joe Knipp, immediately retorted “Fanta!”

It seems to me, Dear Reader, that Tobacco Control is the ultimate propaganda leftover of stale leftovers from the original Nasty Nazis… Can you knot-see?

*Clicky, you read my mind… /flicks lighter… You know… /chases tip… I read last night that quite a lot of Not-sees on the Left…

*…/puffs… are experiencing PTSD… ‘President Trump Stress Disorder… /sniggers… Smoke, don’t smoke? …/shrugs… Perhaps what they really need is massage…*

*Invigorating…*

Enjoy your Friday evening, Dear Reader, and… Have a Song 😉
