Dear Kings and Queens;
As I've been attempting to point out, a Fourth Turning (winter) exponential paradigm shift is unfolding with the global matrix (societal system). It appears to my eyes to be a major super cycle event, which is very rare.
One lesson I learned in my time in the army was that the leadership of any organization set the tone, which has a strong influence on the level of group effectiveness, independent of the quality of leadership and decisions made. Conditioned humans hate uncertainty, and recent polls show that, in the west, there is more pessimism than even at the lows of the GFC. That 'tone' is being set greatly by the master of chaos himself, the leader of the west.
Trumpty Dumpty, who after his first 100 days, is barely getting started. His goal is now clear, namely nothing less than a last ditch hail mary attempt to MAGA through a complete reordering of the global economic and power system. The fatal flaw imbedded within his approach is that of the implementation of 'Force' through a misuse of power. Force breeds resistance, and is thus a sub optimal approach, fuelling failure. So far the Donald is losing on all fronts, and there is nothing more dangerous than a failing bully!
Second Half
The second half of this year will present a number of important tests for the already stressed system (and especially for the failing bully):
- massive debt rollover for corporations and governments
- strong indications of a major decisive ground assault by Russia in Ukraine
- decision on Iran
- decision on China Tariffs
- tariff impacts unfold in US
- US (global?) recession precipice
- India/Pakistan war decision
Note that failing bullies are not known for meeting stress tests with rational decisions/action!!!
