In Part 1 of this article I discussed the catalyst spark which ignited this Fourth Turning and the seemingly delayed regeneracy. In Part 2 I pondered possible Grey Champion prophet generation leaders who could arise during the regeneracy. In Part 3 I focused on the economic channel of distress which is likely to be the primary driving force in the next phase of this Crisis. In Part 4 I assessed the social and cultural channels of distress dividing the nation. In Part 5 I’ll examine the technological, ecological, political, and military channels of distress likely to burst forth with the … Continue reading

For those of a cynical persuasion, it’s difficult to ignore the similarities between Islamic State’s brand of puritanical Islam and Saudi Arabia’s propagation of Wahhabism. Put simply, indoctrinating the masses with an ultra orthodox ideal that breeds intolerance sows the seeds of extremism and on that score, Riyadh and Raqqa are really no different. Indeed, Kamel Daoud, a columnist for Quotidien d’Oran, and the author of “The Meursault Investigation” recently described the Saudis as “an ISIS that made it.” Still, the US (and the international community in general) turns a blind eye to the problem and Washington counts Riyadh as … Continue reading

The game of enabling more debt by lowering interest rates and loosening lending standards is coming to an end. If we define Christmas as consumer spending going up while earnings are going down, 2015 will be the last Christmas in America for a long time to come. In broad brush, Christmas (along with all other consumer spending) has been funded byfinancialization, i.e. debt and leverage, not by increased earnings. The primary financial trick that’s propped up the “recovery” for seven years is piling more debt on stagnating incomes. How does this magic work? Lower interest rates. In a healthy economy, … Continue reading

A stroke is defined as the sudden death of brain cells caused by inadequate blood flow to the brain. It is estimated that there are between 40,000 and 50,000 stokes in Canada every year. Sadly, 16,000 of those unfortunate individuals are not lucky enough to survive the stroke; making stroke-related deaths far more numerous than heart attack and atherosclerosis related deaths combined! The Stroke and Cardiovascular Health Connection Most of us are aware that our overall cardiovascular health plays an important role in determining our heart attack risk, but did you know it also contributes greatly to your stroke risk? … Continue reading

The bloody terrorist attacks in Paris had their genesis not only in the poor Muslim suburbs of France and Belgium, and on the battlefields of Syria, but also in NATO’s operation to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The Libyan strongman gave the West fair warning at the time that his ouster would give an enormous boost to radical jihadists. Because no one in power listened, thousands have died in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Mali and now France. Among the many extremist groups running wild in Libya today is the Islamic State (also known as ISIS, ISIL or Daesh). Headquartered in the … Continue reading

You asked for it AoM readers. And at last we have delivered. Ever since we started putting out our gift guides for men way back in 2008, you all have been requesting that we offer a similar guide, but with gift suggestions for ladies. “I don’t have much trouble knowing what I’d like for Christmas,” you told us, “but I have a really hard time knowing what to get for the women in my life.” We hear you. It can indeed be difficult to come up with unique and classic gifts that will really delight and warm the hearts of the lovely ladies … Continue reading

Here we go again. Another mass shooting incident. And, also again, here go the usual calls to ban this or that firearm or enact more hoops to jump through to buy one. I said in a previous article here that the reason these mass murder events take place is because violence is taught to society as a solution for any problem. I stand by that observation. I say it is being proven each time one of these events takes place. First of all, the social fabric is coming unraveled. Now, by social fabric, I mean a set of values and morals … Continue reading

I think I may safely claim to be one of the few people alive to have flown in a Malian air force DC-3 from Bamako to Timbuktu in the company of a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Nobel Laureate in question was Nadine Gordimer, the South African novelist and short-story writer. We were in Mali for a UNDP conference (I paid my own ticket) on improving the image of Africa in the world’s press, which was presumably thought to be an easier task than improving Africa itself. In any case, I thought that the latter should and … Continue reading

Financial WarfareEconomic AttritionImpeach Obama

While Obama claims that the last 15 years have been an economic miracle for the United States, reality says something very different. The recent Deaton/Case study showing an incre…

Zhang Baohui, a Professor of Political Science and Director of the Centre for Asian Pacific Studies at Lingnan University in Hong Kong who has written extensively on China’s nuclear capabilities, issued a strong warning to Obama that he is provoking a …

“Turkey Paves Way for Another Cuban Crisis,” is the stark title of a Nov. 29 warning article in Sputnik by political analyst Pyotr Iskenderov of Russia’s Strategic Culture Foundation, subtitled, “Asking for Trouble: Erdogan Drags Europe Into New ‘Cuban…

The necessity to remove Barack Obama from Presidential authority, in order to prevent an otherwise oncoming nuclear confrontation of the United States with Russia and China, was made dramatically clear by events and warnings today.

Following Obama’s (and NATO’s) aggressive public support for Turkey’s provocative act of war against Russia, his meeting today with Putin at the Paris Conference was an escalation. According to both the White House and Kremlin reports of the meeting, Obama reiterated his insistence that Syrian President Assad “must go” as precondition for any cooperation against terrorist gangs in Syria; that Russia must join the “U.S. led coalition” and must stop bombing in the areas of strength of al-Nusra and other jihadi groups being armed by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United States and Britain. Obama disregards the views and reports of military and military intelligence, to continue escalating the confrontation with Vladimir Putin.

A Russian strategic analyst writing in Sputnik News today warned that the Turkish provocation, backed by NATO and by Obama, is pushing the world toward a confrontation like that of the 1962 Cuba Missiles Crisis — this time not with a JFK to resolve the situation, but with his opposite, the arrogant drone killer Obama.

And a senior Chinese expert on Eurasian affairs, based in Hong Kong, gave an even more dramatic warning: If Obama continues to conduct provocations in the South China Sea, China may well respond “asymmetrically,” with nuclear war.

EIR Founding Editor Lyndon LaRouche, insisting there is no way out but Obama’s rapid removal from office, said today,

“Putin was right in estimating his position vis a vis Obama. There will be no change of course or backing down by Putin; and he understands fully, that no cooperation is possible with Obama. Putin is not experimenting. He is determined, and looking at the confrontation from a global standpoint. It is Obama’s White House, which is making serious blunders, but everything it is doing, is with full intention.”

This was LaRouche’s emphatic point about Chinese Professor Zhang’s warning of a U.S.-China nuclear war triggered by Obama’s provocations. This analysis of the situation is “absolutely right,” LaRouche noted, but for one thing — the nuclear confrontation is not “unintentional” or an “error” on Obama’s part.

“Obama DOES know what he is doing,” LaRouche said. “He is a killer, and British-controlled.”

Obama is threatening nuclear war, arrogantly believing in a Russian or Chinese “backdown” which does not exist.

“But he can lose his grip on the situation, if challenged by people and forces moving to get him out of office.” That is the mission — if we can do it in time.

I’m ready to help.
