How I’m Thinking About Money, AI, Quantum Disruption, And Civil War As We Head Into The Climax Of The Global Fourth Turning… (Part 1)

Anyone else feel like we’re heading into the 3rd act of a world-wide action thriller?

Look outside your window and you’ll find the sparks of a global world-war, space alien disclosures, the rise of AI, terminator drones and robots, political assignations, quantum tech that can break the world, and a growing movement towards civil war in multiple Western nations…

It feels like we’re headed towards the climax of a movie that 8 billion of us came to Earth to witness and participate in… 😅

So what’s actually going on, and how can you prepare yourself for what’s coming?

Simply put, we’re entering the final climactic years of the Fourth Turning, and things are about to get serious…

In other words…

Buckle-up Dorthy Because This Is Going To Be One Heck Of A Ride…

First, we need to set the foundation…

The Fourth Turning is a theory developed by historians William Strauss and Neil Howe that describes how history moves in predictable cycles, each lasting about the length of a long human life (80-100 years).

Each cycle consists of four distinct phases or "turnings," each lasting roughly 20-25 years. Think of them as seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter.

We’re interested in the Winter season because that’s what we’re in right now, and that’s when the the world falls into chaos…

“Winter” seasons represent a massive period of upheaval when “society passes through a great and perilous gate….”

Everything that once held society together starts to crack. The institutions you trusted betray you. The stories you believed in stop working. The systems that produced stability begin producing chaos instead.

So Far, Every Winter Season Has Ended In War…

• America’s first Winter ended in the American Revolution...

• It’s second ended in the American Civil War…

• Its third ended in WW2…

And we’re quickly headed towards the fourth “Turning” war which could head in many directions that we’ll explore in a future email in this series…

What you need to know is that during the climax of a Winter Season, rival factions go to war in order to establish a new idealogical and cultural path for the next 80-100 years.

You can see this happening in specific stages we’re experiencing right now…

First, trust evaporates as faith in institutions collapses… Government, media, academia, corporations, banking, all of it. The scaffolding that held society together becomes brittle under increasing contradictions…

Government officials and judges are revealed as corrupt. Voting systems are revealed as fraudulent, banks steal wealth instead of protecting it, universities teach lies and propaganda instead of widows, boys are girls, and evil becomes good…

Second, polarization hardens… People divide and group themselves around competing visions of the future. There's no middle ground anymore. Every issue becomes existential. Political discourse stops and people choose sides.

Today, the two primary sides are the “left” who are aligning themselves with authoritarian censorship, marxism, radical Islam, socialism, open borders, and the destruction of traditional American values…

And the “right”, who are aligning themselves around capitalism, the Constitution, and traditional Christian values.

Did you ever imagine you’d ever seen the most important buildings in New York City lit up in “Islam Green” for an entire month, as the city, (now run by a Muslim Socialist), declares January as “Muslim Appreciation Month”….

This isn’t about “appreciation”… This is a symbol of conquest, just as you’d raise your flag above any city your army conquers.

Third, the future becomes urgent… During good times, people don't think much about the future. During a Fourth Turning, the future is all anyone can think about. What kind of world will emerge? Will we even survive? Right now, that’s most pervasive when we talk about the current and increasing disruptions from AI…

Fourth, everything speeds up… Changes that would normally take decades happen in years. Events that should take years happen in months. The pace becomes overwhelming until systems and people break. Anyone else feel like years are going by in months? I do…

Fifth, uncertainty peaks… No one knows what's coming next. Financial experts can't make predictions. Long-term planning becomes impossible. Even massive companies stop providing guidance. The degree of impact is "unknowable."

For the past three months, the government has stopped releasing unemployment data, the markets can’t decide if they’re going higher, or about to crash, and no one has any real answers…

Finally, old methods stop working… The playbook from the previous era no longer applies. What worked for 40 years suddenly fails, the rules change and the game board flips.

Right now entrepreneurs see this happening daily when it comes to AI, but by the time this Turning is over, everything will be different…

Politicians and leaders will be arrested, (Maduro), coups will take place, banks will collapse and money will become digital.

Soldiers will turn into robots, and we either make it out the other side of this alive, or we’ll find ourselves living in a post-WW3 nuclear dystopia…

Because there’s one tiny little detail that makes this 4th Turning extra spicy…

Which is the fact that it’s the first one we’ll be navigating with the addition of 12,000+ nuclear war heads.

In our previous Turning, the (2) nukes used on Japan brought that Turning to its completion.

So If Things Feel Chaotic And Wild Right Now, They’re Supposed To…

You’re not crazy…. But the world is. And that’s how it’s supposed to feel right now.

Going through the final years of a Winter season is as serious as it gets...

The world hasn’t tasted this level of tension and conflict since WW2, which means this is new to all of us… And it’s 100X louder thanks to modern social media and smart phones…

If you wanted to know what was going on during the last Winter Turning, you had to pick up a newspaper or turn on your radio…

Today, there’s a million voices shouting to billions of people on a daily basis at an unprecedented level…

This will be continue to weaponize the populations of the world in a way we’ve never seen before, and the citizens of every country will be living in their own state-controlled reality.

So what you really need to understand is that…

This Isn’t A Game, It Can’t Be Avoided, And It’s Not Going Away...

The future of our nation and civilization literally hangs in the balance right now…

Everything we know and love will be tested, and like it or not, war will determine the outcome.

Why is that guaranteed? Because there are people in power who are willing to go to war in order to get what they want, and once that choice is made by them, they make it for all of us just like Hitler and Stalin did for the people of Europe, the US, Japan, etc…

My goal in telling you this isn’t to scare you… 

It’s to inform you of the inevitable so you can prepare and protect yourself and your family...

What We’re Willing To Accept And Tolerate Will Determine The Outcome Of This Fourth Turning…

Americans are the last free civilization standing.

We are the last country where free speech and the ability to defend ourselves with firearms hasn’t turned us into criminals by the State…

The UK, Canada, Australia… They’ve all fallen to authoritarian dictatorships disguised as Democracy’s…

Today, men and women across Europe are being thrown in prison for mean tweets while invaders rape and murder their women and children without consequence…

They have no recourse because they no longer have the ability to defend themselves.

And by the way, the actions of these countries are a preview of the “other side” we’ll be fighting against during the final conflict of this Winter Season…

This Fourth Turning is a battle between the powers who want to replace freedom with authoritarianism, and those who want to protect it…

And this time we aren’t just fighting openly Communist countries…

We’re fighting truly evil leaders in the West who have sold out their people like Macron, Trudeau, and Keir Starmer...

So America Matters More Than Ever, But Most People Think They’re Too Small And Insignificant To Make A Difference...

That’s an illusion…

When many of the “small and insignificant” rally together and unite, we make a large and singular new whole… An individual giant made of cells, rather than singular cells scattered across the wind on their own.

And my hope in sharing this email and the ones that follow with in you is to strengthen your mind, bodies, spirits, and bank accounts, so that you may become a strong cell in the greater whole as we navigate this historic period together…

We are the last free nation on Earth…

We must not let the light of freedom be extinguished.

We must not let the torch go out on our watch.

And like it or not, we are the generation that will save it, or watch it flicker out into darkness.

Thank you for your leadership, and may God bless you and your family.

More to come on what you can do to practically support yourself and freedom in the days ahead…

Sincerely,

Mike Dillard ✞
