It is ...I related to the book, as a fellow cusper. It is probably a bit dated now, as it contained a running a thread of Xer culture at the time. But it's concepts remain influential to me. It sort of predicted a new great depression around this time. The basic idea is a four stage cycle of history every 80 years (length of human lifetime). <BR/><BR/>As for Cruise, as for anybody, you probably don't have it all together; you search, stumble around. Scientology is an alternative that the jews apparently feel threatened by, and that makes it a bit interesting. They don't attack Madonna studying Kabala. They both state to help you with personnel growth. Both get you tax deductions (which, along with putting down their psuedoscience psychology and their drug industry, may be the big rub with the jews - only they are supposed to have a tax deduction by donating to yourself via a religion of self-worship). But Cruise has that bubbling over enthusiasm and presence that, outside jewish control, would make him "dangerous". How dare he tell people to stop taking drugs and seeing their shrinks! That's attacking profits! Note his reputation took a dive just when he parted with the hollywood jews who made him. Nobody does that and walks away, but Cruise is surviving it. His latest movie (I'm not a movie goer either) is about (what do you know?) an attempted military coup led by the Cruise character. I imagine it is an attempt to send a message. He bears paying attention to. <BR/><BR/>Leaders of any revolution will not be found within the political system. They will either come from the battlefield, or from some reach of popular culture/media. Cult of personality would drive it. Without the personality the best you get is Ron Paul going nowhere then dropping out.<BR/><BR/>Do you see any other way?Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622307265249551216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-481838326205496616.post-13007420852249641932009-01-03T08:02:00.000-05:002009-01-03T08:02:00.000-05:00I have not read that book.

But I threw Cruise out there not entirely facetiously. He has the name/face recognition, natural charisma and enthusiasm it would take. Apparently the jews thought he was dangerous enough to attack, so that works in his favor. But he also has that flake factor, which makes my last of three long shots to make something happen.<BR/><BR/>Have you read "The Fourth Turning"?

I have a little theory about the generation issue that is roughly this: those born in the cusp between the boomers and Gen X have the morals of their parents (born in the 30s). They will lead us out, but there aren't too many of them.<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://editorseye.com/WordPress/?p=20<BR/>http://editorseye.com/WordPress/?p=482<BR/>http://editorseye.com/WordPress/?page_id=661A.

I do think there is a critical generation gap in terms of worldview that may result in a big change when the torch changes hands. The big question is the leadership one.
