Steve Bannon and the Fourth Turning

 
I think that we need to become familiar with Steve Bannon and his thinking as he is playing such a central role in unravelling the Biden scandal

Steve Bannon, it turns out, is an adherent to the idea if the "Fourth Turning", one of the authors of which is positing that we are in a war cycle which will be with us until at least 2030.

Perhaps there are other cycles - such as that of life on earth which, this time, would seem to have no respect fro the sensitivities of the human species.  If we don't go full Venus life may return to Earth in a few million years.

That is also a cycle.


Steve Bannon became obsessed with a dark theory of history predicting the rebirth of America's institutions every 80 years - and became convinced the US was on the brink of a bigger conflict than the Second World War, a report said Thursday.

Donald Trump's chief strategist became fascinated in the early 2000s by The Fourth Turning, a 1997 book in which William Strauss and Neil Howe explain their theory of American history, Time wrote in a profile of Bannon.

The former Goldman Sachs investment banker and Breitbart executive chairman appears on the cover of this week's magazine, on which he is dubbed 'the great manipulator'.

At one point, the piece delves into Bannon's captivation for Strauss and Howe's book - which led to Bannon's 2010 movie Generation Zero, about the 2008 financial crisis.

Strauss and Howe's theory sees American history as a series of 80-year cycles each divided into four phases.

Each cycle begins after a moment of crisis. Over the next 80 years, institutions are embraced, challenged and rebelled against - until they are destroyed and rebuilt during the next crisis.

It doesn't sound so ridiculous now as we face mayhem and destruction across the planet, especially in the United States of America.

This is what Bannon said a few days ago to Sebastian Gorka.


Here is his documentary "Generation Zero" about the 2008 financial meltdown in which he lays out his ideas.

Here is the book and an interview with one of the 
authors, Neil Howe.
