The Fourth Turning

What RFK Jr's run could portend

Sunrise on an early spring morning, more golden than orange today - perhaps to match the abundant daffodils happily littering the landscape. Accompanied by a chorus of birds who without knowing the why, know what to do - it’s just in them. Birds sing-in the morning.

It’s a good way to greet the new day; song, light and color. It also happens to be Easter, and so the idea of resurrection is on the minds of many this morning.

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate.

Most of us don’t tend to think of our lives as happening within cycles. Or at least big celestial cycles, like yugas, where thousands, or even millions of years are included. We stick closer to the yearly recurring holidays and religious rites. Some are alert to astrological influences and so may include the movement of the constellations in making plans, but for the most part, most of us keep our cycles, small.

Given our media and its ever narrowing, ever-agenda-filled focus/purpose, it reflects largely political cycles above all - yikes - and the rhythms and recurrences that go with them. (I don’t watch any of it, but I’m certainly familiar.) The message being that it is the cycle of our political world that matter most. And it the political world where the distortions are the greatest.

As readers of my stack, you will know, I tend to think of the current version of our manufactured “reality” that we’re living through as basically over; in the last gasps stage, and this is why so much feels fake and hollowed out.

As evidence of that, we have an “officialdom” that is anything but official and operates fully outside our laws and constitution. Its endless issuance of lies are on full display and no matter how egregious, go un-redressed. Lies are fully expected now, and it’s why so many don’t seem to notice or even care. What’s the point?

For those who believe truth matters, this is a hellish landscape where they find themselves unable to breakthrough the maze; confined to an echo-chamber of others who feel the same, locked in to perpetual outrage, astonishment and sadness.

It’s an odd time to be a human being on earth in 2023.

For those who’ve been following Katherine Watt and Sasha Latypova’s work, the legislative betrayals and legal loop holes necessary to pull off the march towards full-on tyranny by our elected officials, (and the astounding lack of value for human life) has snapped many of the how-they-did-it pieces of the puzzle into place.

I don’t think there are words to capture the level of treasonous abuse and disdain for human life we’ve endured.

So, yes, in this backdrop, it’s hard to get excited about a “candidate”.

The question of why don’t we see serious, good people of integrity and substance enter the political ring (a question I used to ask) is a no-brainer. It’s the same reason we don’t see them join the circus. (I don’t mean to tarnish circuses here; I rank them high above the political underworld.)

Clearly, in terms of the overall political system, I’m not a fan. Not a believer. Not interested. Can someone fix this? Anyone? I don’t think so.

And yet… still, there is something about Robert Kennedy Jr.’s running that compels. And not simply because he does seem a man of integrity and substance. Which surely matters.

And not simply because he’s been an advocate for truth with the vaccines and a strong critic of the corrupt, captured agencies. All that matters too. In fact, his book alone makes him a more viable candidate than anyone else, for this time. (The promise of the many deceits behind COVID being exposed and its role in the advancement of a transhuman world - these things must come to light and be understood.)

Yes, Kennedy’s contributions and actions point to a man of courage, integrity, and intelligence. A man with a spine, who understands what he’s up against.

Still, even with all that, what makes him most compelling is his family legacy.

He is after all, the nephew to John, and the son of Robert. Two popular political leaders (here, not used facetiously) who were assassinated in public. Heinous acts of incredible audacity, whose intentions were not just the elimination of men who refused to yield to the power structure behind the scenes, but to also warn off future challengers while traumatizing an entire nation.

Bold, brazen acts that announced the presence of a nefarious force who would stop at nothing to retain, and gain, power. A presence that has not gone away, but has only grown in its reach, its influence and infection into nearly all facets of our lives.

The slaughter of these brothers was tragic on multiple levels. The obvious shocking loss to their families of course, their larger personal communities and then the entire country. And more significantly for the country, this was a deeply symbolic attack that doused the inner flame Americans carried and placed a pall over the belief in what was possible in pursuit of the American Dream* in the “land of the free”.

Kennedy’s run then represents a new chapter in the United States story that comes with near mythological proportions; the son returns to face the very forces that took his father and uncle out. (The individual players may have changed, but the underworld they operate in, remains.) A generations-in-the-waiting moment of potential redress, atonement, and even - shall we hope? - triumph over those forces.

And while triumph is likely beyond what any human can do against such entrenched forces, it’s still a full-circle completion that we have - however unconsciously - been waiting for.

(Just as with families when secrets are kept hidden for generations, it’s only when the secret is brought to light, that everyone is freed from the burden of carrying it - whether they knew it or not. Life demands we deal.)

If these blatant, violent power-grabs that changed the course of our history, are something we do come to terms with, we not only reclaim some semblance of reality with this part of our past, we also begin to grasp the criminal foundation that was cemented with them, and the subsequent pathways that have led us here - to this moment in time.

Could the truth of those murders come out officially? Could this deep state cult be lifted out of the shadows for all to see? I don’t know but I also don’t see how it’s possible for Robert Kennedy Jr to run without the ghost-sins of our past being called forward and those behind it, called out.

It’s hard not to think in terms of The Fourth-Turning theory. From the book:

Sometime before the year 2025, America will pass through a great gate in history, commensurate with the American Revolution, Civil War, and twin emergencies of the Great Depression and World War II. The risk of catastrophe will be very high. The nation could erupt into insurrection or civil violence, crack up geographically, or succumb to authoritarian rule.

The book was written in 1997. They sorta nailed it. And while nothing is set in stone, these less-than-happy possibilities are looking more likely by the day.

If Kennedy were to be successful with his run, he would start his presidency in January of 2025. Maybe this portends something genuinely new?

With the announcement of his running, this defining chapter of our history is coming around again. His candidacy necessarily includes this past. It can not be ignored.

For me the significance then is not his entry into the current zombie-zone political world. Rather, it’s the legacy that comes with him that holds promise. The chance for the long overdue resurrection of this destiny-changing chapter; the murders of his uncle and father and their cover-ups. It’s been buried in lies but perhaps we can reclaim it in something closer to the truth? If we do, then there is the chance more Americans will see through the facade of our hijacked and tainted history, and reorient ourselves back into at least a truer version of reality.

If we can come to terms with what was done, what we lost and that we have been fully off track since, then maybe we can begin to see - begin to imagine - the cancerous presence that has only grown since then. The creatures who have undermined us to such a degree that we find ourselves now with a gutted, glutted, debased government and a divided America on the brink of tyranny.

Will that happen? I don’t know. But on this Easter morning, that reminds us of what’s possible, that echos of mysteries and powers beyond our comprehension, I’m making room for it.

Thanks for reading.

Buy me a coffee. 😊 https://ko-fi.com/kathleen87247

*(Quick acknowledgement that “The American dream” was a “given” (as in given to us) and part of the larger manufactured reality-show that goes back far further than our young country’s history; so they too were also part of an imposed reality. Even still, that manufactured reality was a much gentler brand, and still offered humans hope and ignited qualities that could inspire and elevate.)
