          It's been three months since you received that dreadful notification on your phone. At first you thought it was just another amber alert as the phone screamed in your pocket, you didn't even think it was all that weird that everyone else at the grocery store had the same alert going off. Its happens a lot, at least once a week. This time though the whole store went quiet for about thirty seconds until you could hear feet shuffling quickly down the aisle next to you, and then more. Then more. Soon enough the whole store was in a panic and people began to scream and cry, rushing out of the doors without paying. Ballistic missiles have just landed in five major U.S. cities. It wasn't long before you saw on the news that the President had activated National Security Presidential Directive NSPD 51, of course you didn't know what it was or what it meant- no one did. All you knew was that the statement from the White House said to stay indoors except in emergen

                We as a nation have indulged in the peace our constitution has given us for years and years but how long does that feeling of safety and comfort last?  The Strauss-Howe generational theory also known as the "Fourth Turning Theory" is the idea that in America we as a nation run in cycles. Every 80-90 years is the start of a new cycle or " saeculum" and each cycle is divided into four "turnings" which are around 20 years long. I'm not going to go into extreme detail on the entire theory because what has happened in the past cycles isn't relevant so I want to focus on our current cycle the "Millennial saeculum".        Lets start with the Baby Boomers who were born between 1943 and 1960, this first turning (the High) was born mostly after world war two and experienced America as the superpower of the world and a great golden age of western capitalism. When I think of this turning I usually revert to the stereotypical

Well maybe not a "Vietcong clause" but it definitely opens us up to the possibility of insurgent warfare on home soil in the event that our government goes to hell. Something that I hear from a lot of people about the second amendment is that it gives us the right to own firearms. This is true but there is way more to it than owning guns and shooting at tannerite attached to a station wagon in the back of the trailer park. The second amendment is our ticket to freedom and liberty in case our country falls apart and our government becomes tyrannical. It truly is astounding that our fore fathers actually took the time to think about the fact that governments tend to not last too long in their glory state and eventually deteriorate so they made it not only legal but our duty as U.S. citizens to take up arms and fix what needs to be fixed.       Obviously there is a difference between communist Viet Minh veterans and capitalist (for the most part and I will get to that later) 

I have often wondered about what people will be thinking twenty years from now about how this republic got to where it is now and if they will wonder "what was wrong with everyone?" News continues to come out about surveys of US citizens and how close they think we are to actual civil war. The general consensus is about two thirds of the way to the brink. That really is a scary thought, I'm not sure how many people were surveyed but even if it was only one hundred random people that is alarming. As of right now we stand on the cusp of a potential conflict this country has never seen. If a civil war were to truly commence here it would be one hundred times bloodier and a thousand times more chaotic than our previous civil war. I am a big advocate of the fourth turning theory and if you don't know about it maybe you should look it up, it is scary. Where we are now is according to the theory at the start of a large conflict. This conflict could be civil war, world w
