Christ, (apologies), just when you think things couldn’t get worse, what with having a lecherous, traitorous, bloviating fat-ass in the White House (don’t get me started on Drumpf) Huffpo lets it all hang out there and informs you that said lecherous, traitorous, bloviating fat-ass is also an adherent of Glenn Beck’s favorite doomsayers William Strauss and Neil Howe…
“Describing it as “eerie,” Beck said each transition is marked by the same characteristics throughout history and that at the end of each cycle, there is an “awakening” that leads to a “crisis.” Currently, Beck said he believes the U.S. is in the transition season between the “awakening” and the “crisis.”
“It’s at the pinnacle — the zenith — and then it starts falling apart and we go from a high optimism [in the awakening] to now,” Beck said. “This is the unraveling period where everything begins to come undone.”
Christ on a bicycle Glenn Beck’s been talking about things coming undone for 15 years and hawking gold as a hedge against Apocalypse the whole time… but Bannon has bought it.
“ 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.
