Steve Bannon Believes The Apocalypse Is Coming And War Is Inevitable
Trump’s top adviser thinks we’re in “the great Fourth Turning in American history.”

WASHINGTON ? In 2009, the historian David Kaiser, then a professor at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, got a call from a guy named Steve Bannon.

Bannon wanted to interview Kaiser for a documentary he was making based on the work of the generational theorists William Strauss and Neil Howe. Kaiser, an expert on Strauss and Howe, didn’t know Bannon from Adam, but he agreed to participate. He went to the Washington headquarters of the conservative activist group Citizens United, where Bannon was then based, for a chat.

Kaiser was impressed by how much Bannon knew about Strauss and Howe, who argued that American history operates in four-stage cycles that move from major crisis to awakening to major crisis. These crises are called “Fourth Turnings” — and Bannon believed the U.S. had entered one on Sept. 18, 2008, when Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke went to Capitol Hill to ask for a bailout of the international banking system.

“He knew the theory,” Kaiser said. “He obviously enjoyed interviewing me.”

Bannon pressed Kaiser on one point during the interview. “He was talking about the wars of the Fourth Turnings,” Kaiser recalled. “You have the American Revolution, you have the Civil War, you have World War II; they’re getting bigger and bigger. Clearly, he was anticipating that in this Fourth Turning there would be one at least as big. And he really made an effort, I remember, to get me to say that on the air.”

Kaiser didn’t believe global war was preordained, so he demurred. The line of questioning didn’t make it into the documentary — a polemical piece, released in 2010, called “Generation Zero.”

Bannon, who’s now ensconced in the West Wing as President Donald Trump’s closest adviser, has been portrayed as Trump’s main ideas guy. But in interviews, speeches and writing — and especially in his embrace of Strauss and Howe — he has made clear that he is, first and foremost, an apocalypticist.

In Bannon’s view, we are in the midst of an existential war, and everything is a part of that conflict. Treaties must be torn up, enemies named, culture changed. Global conflagration, should it occur, would only prove the theory correct. For Bannon, the Fourth Turning has arrived. The Grey Champion, a messianic strongman figure, may have already emerged. The apocalypse is now.

“What we are witnessing,” Bannon told The Washington Post last month, “is the birth of a new political order.”

Strauss died in 2007, and Howe did not respond to requests for comment. But their books speak for themselves. The first, Generations, released in 1991, set forth the idea that history unfolds in repetitive, predictable four-part cycles ? and that the U.S. was, and still is, going through the most recent cycle’s tail end. (In Generations, Strauss and Howe became perhaps the first writers to use the term “millennials” to describe the current cohort of young people.)

Strauss and Howe’s theory is based on a series of generational archetypes — the Artists, the Prophets, the Nomads and the Heroes — that sound like they were pulled from a dystopian young adult fiction series. Each complete four-part cycle, or saeculum, takes about 80 to 100 years, in Strauss and Howe’s reckoning. The Fourth Turning, which the authors published in 1997, focuses on the final, apocalyptic part of the cycle.

Strauss and Howe postulate that during this Fourth Turning crisis, an unexpected leader will emerge from an older generation to lead the nation, and what they call the “Hero” generation (in this case, millennials), to a new order. This person is known as the Grey Champion. An election or another event — perhaps a war — will bring this person to power, and their regime will rule throughout the crisis.

This week Steve Bannon was talking apocalyptic nonsense:

Steve Bannon suggests Trump could become president after constitutionally mandated inauguration date

Bannon: January 20th “is still an interim date”

STEVE BANNON (HOST): Stephen Miller the assistant to the president, lays it down -- the only date in the Constitution is the 20th of January. And let me say something else. The worst thing that happens on the 20th of January if we have not had a full adjudication of the steal is that the Speaker of the House that's chosen and let's assume it's going to be Nancy Pelosi becomes acting president until it gets sorted out. So the 20th is still an interim date.

In competition with Bannon for who is the Biggest Belligerent Nutjob, Trump tweeted his own brand of apocalyptic nonsense this morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
.@senatemajldr and Republican Senators have to get tougher, or you won’t have a Republican Party anymore. We won the Presidential Election, by a lot. FIGHT FOR IT. Don’t let them take it away!

No third option? What a terrible choice you only get to pick team A or team B?

The media was scared frightened, they seen Trump as a Hitler, Joe Stalin or George Wallace character or at least for 4 years almost the entire of the US media including Fox seemed to be against Trump
They wanted you to pick a Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton instead.

One side wants More wars for Israel? Also greatly corrupted by the Neoconservatism movement, interventionism their 'axis of evil' theory they even got Kissinger and Bolton back into the Whitehouse.
The other Leftwing choice wants Open Borders, America to kiss the ass of Jihads, tv media Degenerates, Bolseviks and kiss the ass of the Islamists?


This Friedrich Nietzsche word, a strange mix of word...A neo Jew-Christain idea or cult, an idea or cult people, a will to fight and war and corrupt and kill over some Abrahamic mythology? I know Orwell talked of “the Judaeo-Christian scheme of morals” in a letter but when I hear these so-called conservative Republicans and other elites say the world must defend 'Judeo-Christianity' are they talking about an ethno-state of Israel? Are the talking about the values during the ear of George Bush Jnr, maybe the ethno-state of Saudi also where mix of religion and race mixing is banned? Maybe they want to defend the theocratic and apartheid values of Israel. I'm still not sure what they mean, as they attend those Bohemian-Grove ritual parties with booze and pentagrams and a big Pyramid with a burning Eye on top and strange pagan effigy that go up in flames?
If American open values were the same as others then why no open borders for the Saudi or why not have open borders for Israel?

The “Judeo-Christian West ...

War is coming, Bannon has warned. In fact, it’s already here.

...think the Judeo-Christian West is on the retreat.

I dont think Biden or Kamala are going to be any major difference, domestically it will maybe be a few months of more lockdown and government control to try drop death numbers and try fight a virus?
Overseas? Biden seen Libya go to shit and guys in the Admin alongside France, Britain and NATO wanted Assad gone and wanted ISIS to take the place in Syria...you had some of a bio and chemical weapons program laying around and jihads about to get their hands on those weapons....what an absolute cluster fuck that would have been if Assad hadn't turned that tide and started to kick the terrorists ass.


The VP might be different, Kamala's roots of sorts might push her back in the direction of Canada politik or maybe the Carribean islands, Jamaica, Dominica, Barbados or that H1B Hindu street-shitter visa you get coming from India?
and yet she is a woman so maybe that tv clown show will be a little different?


I'm not really one for religion. I dont really have an opinion on religions until religions start to come in and dictate our lives, then I can become very Anti-Religion or Atheist or a Religion Basher

You know whenever I hear someone go on and on about 'Judeo-Christian' again and again it just rubs me the wrong way, did a Jew sail across the oceans on a boat and found the modern United States of America? this 'Judeo-Christian' thing it just puts some weird SouthPark Simpsons PirateNews photoshop story ...a bunch of faggot Freemason guys in those Frat Party College Robes doing it for the team and Taking it up the Ass by some Israeli Grand Master at the Banker Lodge.
These guys they do know the Judean cult of Jewish Christ Killers do not believe in Jesus Christ?

I dont know maybe now that kamala is going to be in power they will finally get a new buzz word like 'Hindu-Christian'??
or Shinto-Christianity?

Jews and America / the West sometimes do not have the same goals

More fucking wars for Israel? and the USA wasting blood, time and treasure, young men going to die and fight for Israel? Is the theocratic ethno state of Israel suddenly populated by a bunch of disabled handicaps, are they too mentally a

This is why patriotic Americans all voted for Biden in record numbers. People who love this country don't want it to be the fourth reich.

That's a Republican thing.

Right now Islam has no place in the West other than subversive cancer. Not all muslims will be terrosist and some muslims as individuals will have good qualities. Islam might be able to reform someday but their book and religion was founded by a child molestor and a terrorist, was Muhammad a Pedophile? yes he married a 6 yr old, right now 'islam' has no place in the Western world other than to create problems, its not just America every where islam goes in larger numbers it will create probelms. The strange thing is sometimes both Jews and Moselms support each other, both like Open Borders and Dual Citizenship, both support the genital mutilation of kids, both of them like their Animal Torture rituals like Halal or Kosher... sometimes the goal of the Jew radical and the islamic is one and the same.

I heard the same about Communism and I signed up for Vietnam to fight it. But the Communists won because America doesn't have methods to change people's beliefs except by killing them. More recently, Americans signed up for Iraq and Afghanistan. But the Muslims won because, once again, America doesn't know how to change people's beliefs except by killing them.

If you think about it, America did not have a method to change slave-owner belief in slavery except by killing the owners. America needs work on its methods to change beliefs.
