Topic: War Cycle

Reflecting on a prediction made ten years ago, the hosts revisit the concept of 80-year historical war cycles. They discuss how the 2020 cycle, rather than manifesting as a traditional foreign war, appeared as domestic turmoil involving lockdowns and civil unrest. The discussion explores the idea that the "fourth cycle" conflict is being fought against the government rather than an external enemy.

The Federal Reserve is criticized as a "criminal banking system" established in 1913 under President Woodrow Wilson. Historical analysis suggests that major global events, such as wars or pandemics, occur roughly every ten years to "clear the books" and reset the financial system. This cycle includes 9/11 and the current pandemic as pivotal moments for fiscal control.

The hosts discuss the "Fourth Turning" theory, which posits that history moves in 80 to 90-year cycles ending in major crises. Previous turnings include the American Revolution, the Civil War, and World War II. The current period, marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and political strife, is identified as the start of a new historical crisis that could last several years.

A theory is presented regarding 80-year cycles in American history, linking the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II to the current crisis. The hosts play a clip of FEMA Director Pete Gaynor accidentally saying the government is taking steps to "attack" the health and safety of Americans before correcting himself to "protect."

An 80-year cycle of major American conflicts is discussed, citing the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II. This pattern suggests a new major conflict will occur around 2020. Current military drills in urban areas are interpreted as preparation for potential domestic conflict between the government and the citizenry rather than a war against an external foreign power.

Jean-Claude Juncker, Prime Minister of Luxembourg, reportedly warned that 2013 could mirror 1913—the year before World War I—where a period of perceived peace preceded a global conflict. The hosts link this to their "cycle theory" of recurring historical warfare and note that the statement was largely ignored by the American press.

A theory of 80-year historical cycles predicts a major "dislocation" or war in 2020, following the patterns of the American Revolution, the Civil War, and World War II. The hosts anticipate a secondary economic collapse in 2017, followed by a period of growth. They speculate that the next major conflict will be a "cyber war" involving attacks on the power grid and potentially a domestic false flag event in 2013.

Analysis of historical economic cycles suggests a major systemic collapse may occur in October 2012 or 2013, potentially leading to a global conflict by 2020. The Federal Reserve's policy of purchasing $40 billion in debt monthly is viewed as an insufficient measure to prevent this inevitable downturn. Historical 80-year cycles of major American wars—1776, 1861, and 1941—point toward a significant conflagration in the early 2020s.

Former Goldman Sachs analyst Charles Nenner predicts the Dow Jones will drop to 5,000. He bases his bearish outlook on "war cycles," suggesting a major global conflict will begin between late 2012 and 2013. The hosts discuss the risks of using triple-leveraged ETFs to bet on this crash.

A theory is presented regarding an 80-year economic cycle that predicts a massive worldwide depression followed by a major war, citing historical precedents in 1780, 1860, and 1940. The prediction suggests a ten-year period of stagnation starting around 2020, with the current credit crisis serving as a precursor.
