Fourth Turning - Social & Cultural Distress Dividing The Nation (20% of households on food stamps)
ZeroHedge ^ | 11/28/2015 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 11/29/2015 9:58:32 AM PST by GilGil

There is nothing more volatile to societal stability than millions of unemployed men, growing angry and resentful towards the ruling class for their lot in life.

A simmering rage is bubbling below the surface as 20% of American households rely on food stamps to survive, the percentage of Americans in the labor force stands at a four decade low...

The rise of Donald Trump and Ben Carson in the early polls for Republican presidential candidate is being fueled by a rising anger and discontent with the corporate media promoting offensive social agendas, the flaunting of the Constitution by a president ruling by executive order, a GOP establishment corrupted by power and unanswerable to their constituents, the disinterest of politicians in both parties in securing our porous southern borders from foreign invasion by illegal hordes. Now the repercussions of Obama ignoring the threats of Islamic extremism and allowing tens of thousands of undocumented Syrian refugees to flood into the country immediately overwhelming our insolvent welfare system and refusing to assimilate into our culture as they worship at mosques where they are taught to hate everything about American culture, is further fueling a political backlash.

As Aldous Huxley realized six decades ago, the truth is unimportant to those controlling the “free” press and shallow distractions will keep the masses occupied while the controllers achieve their goals.

I have been reading this morning about the establishment Republicans and the media coordinating an attack on Trump. They are coordinating an attack on tens of millions of Americans and telling them that they are unimportant and to be ignored. The above article explains very, very well that the establishment is on the wrong side of history here and as it keeps pounding on Trump the majority will get more and more furious and drive voters to Trump. Already it is reported that Black Friday sales are down. If we get an economic crash and a market crash as I think we will there will be rebellion in the USA.

We are heading towards a Social War which will break out at any moment. It cannot be stopped as “Diversity” will be its root cause and the left is busy diversifying us as fast as they can. Note the left is now working to get the invaders the vote. It is either fight or go under.

"the flaunting of the Constitution by a president . . "

I wish he would flaunt it instead of constantly flouting it.

I see a National Front developing before the fight unless we get the mutant invasion halted.

Yes this country is involved in a cultural war. The two sides are so diametrically opposed that someone has to win and someone has to lose. Its going to come down to armed conflict at some point in the near future. And a purge of the government. Or a breaking up of the republic into two or three loosely aligned provinces.

More diversity causing greater dilution of social cohesion. Society just falls apart into violence, apathy. A nation with no identity. Very bad.

the flaunting of the Constitution

within the statement he is quite contradicting what he seems to be trying to say. Here is a case where use of words one does not know the meaning of makes the whole thing ambivalent where the author is probably trying to sound clear, even strident.

Well said by Tyler Durden...but there is a spiritual componant as well to this. Paul said “we wrestle not against flesh and blood , but against principalities and power in dark places” (Eph 6) you mix that with the fact some of us are really pissed and you have the makings of one hum dinger donnybrook!

Kind of reminds me of this...

The big food companies love the food stamp program. They have lots of lobbyists in DC pushing the program. Every time I see a grocery cart loaded to the brim, invariably they pull out food stamps EBT card. But the working people must pay for their own food AND pay for the food of those who do not bother to work.

The majorities of republicans in congress are equally at fault. That is the main reason a novice politician outsider is leading in practically all polls.

The war has already started and the statistics of social decay are creating the tsunami of the silent majority.

The fight is not the left vs. the right. It is the establishment Republicans, democrats, and media against the silent majority.

The establishment hacks are saying that their jobs and their wealth must be preserved at all cost and at the expense of the silent majority’s jobs and wealth.

The establishment is in essence saying that it is more important to preserve their interests and the interests of the silent majority has to be sacrificed in the process.

This is very, very dangerous because the establishment will lose.

People who have money from the middle class to the very wealthy are always asked to give something back for the betterment society.

I have never ever heard the media or establishment ever ask the welfare recipient to give back to society for receiving all the free stuff they get. It seems that welfare recipients should show their gratitude for all the charity they are getting and do something for society like volunteer work. Welfare recipients are never ever expected to give anything back. Isn’t that interesting.

In 2014 I spent a week in Singapore on vacation. It now has the largest concentration of millionaires on earth. Every 6th citizen is a millionaire!

Why I bring up this Singapore example? Because it has ZERO welfare for adults in the working age. No food stamps, no unemployment. Result is everybody works. Unemployment is non-existent. Actually there is a shortage of workers to perform low skilled jobs. So, Singapore has 40% imported workers on 2 year work visa’s.

Singapore was just another average Asian country, when the British left. The prosperity now is unbelievable. The infra structure is unbelievable. Crime is non-existent. Drug dealers get death sentence.
