Add Clapper and Brennan to the list of corrupted Obama administration officials fearful of prison2/4/2018 CIA, FBI Agents Respond To Nunes' Memo The potential for prison is the reason both Clapper and Brennan have recently come out so hard against the memo. They know they are far enough down the pecking order to become the go-to sacrificial lambs. Something they will have no power to stop. Comey is in the same boat. The order will seek to keep Obama and Hillary out of trouble and will let most of those below go if necessary. Right now the minions are trying to calculate a plan which will result in no losses and turn the truth back on the Republicans. This seems to be a nonstarter. More below. We are in a generational period of significant flux. It began in 2008 with the housing mortgage crisis which triggered the Great Recession and seems to be coming to a head now with the realization that the premier law enforcement and intelligence agencies have been weaponized by the Democratic Party against the Republican Party, the President of the United States and the American people.
We are in a phase of history which has traditionally resulted in severe existential conflict with America has met with aggressive military force and total war. The first American "Fourth Turning" occurred at the American Revolution (1773-1794). This was the English civil war between the colonists and Britain proper. The colonists/rebels won. The second occurred at the American Civil War (1860-1865). The rebels lost. The third happened at the Great Depression-WWII (1929-1946). Unlike the first two, this was not a civil war but an existential war against nationalistic Socialism. Socialism lost. The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy - What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America's Next Rendezvous with Destiny These events occur about every 80 years. Today our crisis appears most in line with the last Fourth Turning. The Great Recession started almost 80 after the Great Depression. That turning took 15 years to resolve; we are now nine years past the start of the Great Recession. WWII occurred 12 after the beginning of the Great Depression. It is not clear whether the crisis conflict associated with the current Fourth Turning will be external to the US like WWII or internal like the first two which were civil wars. Right now either is entirely plausible. Remember that the Civil War happened as a surprise after the election of Lincoln. Likewise, the Revolutionary War was a surprise anticipated by neither side. The weaponization of the Deep State by the Democratic Party is as yet unclear, but it could provide the basis for a civil, political split in the American polity, already Californians are agitating to leave the union. I do not know whether this Fourth Turning will require war, it commonly does, but it would not need to. Regardless, it will require a serious political spasm which results in national unity and catharsis. Such could happen without out war, but it would be all but guaranteed from a civil war. The other wars we could see which could trigger it would be a war of the Europeans against Islamists, a pan-Middle East war between the Sunni and Shia, a war in the Korean Peninsula, a war related to Russian economic collapse and expansion in the Baltic nations, Ukraine or elsewhere, or a war related to the Chinese expansions in the South China Sea. We live in interesting times.
