FOURTH TURNING \u2013 OUR RENDEZVOUS WITH DESTINY<\/a><\/h3>\n

We are now in the seventh year of this\u00a0Fourth Turning<\/strong><\/a>. A famous quote from the seventh year of the last Fourth Turning portended the desperate, bloody and ultimately heroic trials and tribulations which awaited generations of our ancestors. What will be our rendezvous with destiny?<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\u2013\u00a0Franklin Delano Roosevelt \u2013 June 27, 1936 \u2013 Philadelphia, PA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Rendezvous With Destiny<\/u><\/h2>\n

\u201cThe seasons of time offer no guarantees. For modern societies, no less than for all forms of life, transformative change is discontinuous. For what seems an eternity, history goes nowhere \u2013 and then it suddenly flings us forward across some vast chaos that defies any mortal effort to plan our way there. The Fourth Turning will try our souls \u2013 and the saecular rhythm tells us that much will depend on how we face up to that trial. The saeculum does not reveal whether the story will have a happy ending, but it does tell us how and when our choices will make a difference.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 Strauss & Howe \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The Fourth Turning<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe people have been permitting a small cadre of elitists, billionaire financiers, corporate chiefs, propagandist media moguls, and crooked politicians to make the choices dictating the path of our country since the 2008 dawn of this\u00a0Fourth Turning<\/strong><\/a>. The choices they have made and continue to make have imperiled the world and guaranteed a far more calamitous outcome as we attempt to navigate through the trials and tribulations ahead. Their strategy to \u201csave the country\u201d by saving bankers, while selling the plan to the public as beneficial to all and essential to saving our economic system, has proven to be nothing more than the greatest wealth transfer scheme in human history.\u00a0 The ruling class is deliberately blind to their own venality and capacity for evil.<\/p>\n
