    For all you morons who joke about conspiracy theories when it's just you are either in denial or flat out don't understand something. Here is a little primer in cycles and the Fourth Turning as it applies to generational change and what's going on in

    Very interesting stuff from 2014 ... it is all of us "old people" that
    are the "problem" right now.

    Soylent Green was a 1973 prediction ... not yet!

    Not the only "original" version of the quote, but one that I like:

    “All empires fall eventually. It is the way of things.”
    ― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

    Seems like we're entering the Turner Diaries timeline really.

    I hope not ...

    I grew up during Jim Crow and was at LSU when David Duke was in operation.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Duke

    When I moved to Dayton, Ohio, for my four years at Wright=Patterson AFB
    in 1969, I was surprised that there were so few black folks in all the neighborhoods on the east side of town but was told that "they" mostly
    kept to themselves on the west side. I was surprised. During all my
    extensive travels during those four years, all over the USA (California
    to NY and in between), I was surprised at the way non-white folks (not
    just black folks) were "considered").

    I learned about black folks from my Mammie Tee and George, who helped in
    the yard. Tee was ironing one day and seemed to me to be hurting
    somehow ... I asked. "What's the matter Mammie Tee?"

    She said she had "the miseries".

    I asked "What are "the miseries". She replied: "Oh, just a headache and
    a little sore." And I in my innocence remarked: "Mammie Tee, you get headaches!?"

    Her reply causes me to tear up even now when I relate the story ...
    "Why, chile, I flesh and blood, just like you."

    Many restaurants were "Restricted" in my childhood summers in Miami Beach.

    Folks need to study a little about "prejudice" in our history ... or
    pick your own word to use.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics_in_the_United_States

    All this

    one size fits all ... "I know the truth" ... you know nothing and I know everything ...

    Maybe always was and always will be ... I hope not.

    Having felt alluded by your invitation, I started a read over those articles. Will continue reading.

    BTW, they should update the Last Updated lines (2012 everywhere). Besides elemental accuracy, that would support the actuality of the concepts being presented.

    If you are really curious, go read some of Neil Howe's books....Generations was the first I think.....He just came out with "The Fourth Turning is here" and I just got my copy...haven't opened it yet...not even sure it'll say anything I don't know, but
    it's fun being aware of the time we're going thru and the events that should occur.
