Burner Prime says: "Finally John likes to
that his predictions around Generational Dynamics
were "true or trending true". He hasn't talked
about this for a while, and it's clear that
statement is false, given Russia's alignment with
BRICS, new currency regimes, cooperation with
Saudis and China, and India. So John's alignments
for the "coming clash of civilizations" are false
or trending false. So GD is a dead-end theory,
with limited value, hence why this forum is
dead. Dalio's thesis does have generational
components and that's probably how GD should be
looked at - as a component, not as a thing that
rules them all."

It's always such fun to respond to idiots like
burner prime and CB. I'll just respond to a couple
of things.

First off, this forum is far from dead. To the
contrary, traffic is actually quite high right
now.

Hundreds, and often thousands, of people come to
this forum every day, most without posting,
because this forum is unique in providing
information about what's going on in the world,
without the burden of political or ideological
idiocy. There's is no forum in the world like
this one, which is why people come here.

By the way, I don't know how long I'll be able to
keep posting, but I've made an arrangement With
Higgenbotham and my son that they'll make sure the
forum will exist and be paid for for at least a
year more if I disappear.

Idiots like you believe that history always begins
this morning. So when Russia and China declare
that they support each other in a marriage of
convenience to oppose the United States and the
West, people like you declare that they're forming
a new regime that will supplant the West. That's
actually the delusionary fantasy of the Chinese
Communists, of whom you're apparently an admirer,
supporter and troll, joining CB who is a Russia
troll.

The contributors to this forum have a strong sense
of history and several are military
experts. That's why they aren't fooled by some
press release issued by China and Russia . They
know that Russia and China have been enemies for
centuries, and that any alliance is temporary and
ephemeral.

For example, relations between Russia and China
are currently in turmoil in Kazakhstan and
elsewhere in Central Asia. An article linked to
recently by Mazanec describe some of the issues
separating China and Russia in Central Asia:

As for currencies, the US dollar is by far the
strongest currency in the world today, after the
recent Fed meeting, with with other central banks
rushing to raise interest rates in order to
strengthen their own currencies to catch up with
the dollar. Nobody gives a shit about the yuan or
the ruble.

Burner is like a paid troll coming to stir up trouble. Haha.
How about detailing the weakness of potential combatants? China's list will surely be long and damning. A winner in a full global thermonuclear exchange of 10,000 warheads?
Any survivors will count themselves lucky and vow "never again". Haha
You are missing his point. The US relies on legacy and tech, and the dollar is going away soon. All others have to do is wait it out. I'm not sure exactly what your true counterpoint is (willing to hear), rather than just using emotional or pejorative response tactics.
The other suspected paid troll comes for backup. Haha
Every actor in this battle has weaknesses. And nobody knows who will win. We may be down but hardly out. And our adversaries are weaker by much. No need to air out the family grievances whilst stuck in an existential battle.
Worry not, if you show courage and valor, finding a wife and helping rebuild will be the work of a hero. Stop whining.
Troll? Hardly. I care enough to have warned everyone about inflation (and was right). We all know the American leaders are actually socialist/communist, and "I'm the 'paid' troll" but they are worse communists than the accused russians, who aren't even at all. How does any of that make sense?

You are right that every actor has weaknesses in this. If our adversaries are that much weaker, why do we fight in other countries and sacrifice the people we are "trying to save"? We don't give a DAMN about the Ukrainians or Ukraine. We just want no Hunter investigations so the Big Guy, Romney, Kerry, Pelosi, etc can get their families and their friends, corps in on the grift for decades.

News flash, anyone can find a wife and anyone can have kids. But what's the point if they aren't quality? It's just fake ego. The west is lost, men turned feminine, women turned masculine, and lies abound.

I've found it the most bizarre thing that people around here act as if they are betraying the US if they talk about how disgusting it is. It is truly disgusting on the institutional levels which run the place - not necessarily all of its citizens, most of whom are good but are leveraged or compromised by keeping up life/materialism, or appearances. Let's be frank, the enemy has never been Russia, and the only reason why anyone thinks it is is because of propaganda from the very sickos that run the swamp, the parasite dual citizens that care about their other country and not the US, the communists in the Democrat party.

We have a half dead president! Wake the F up people, this shit is obvious.

I hope Higgenbotham and your son make sure it goes on well beyond that. This forum can't die.

On a related note, I didn't know you have a son. Is he a user on this forum or otherwise involved in Generational Dynamics? If not, what does he do?

John is right. The forum is unique and beneficial. Nothing like it in the world.
I'm one of the thousands who come here regularly and I'm grateful John has made this resource available.
Many times I feel like a little kid in a room full of intelligent adults. It's probably out of fashion but I find it educational to sit quietly and listen to knowledgeable people discuss topics I am not personally an expert on. It helps me form, refine and sometimes abandon my opinions. The contributors aren't a bunch of yes men who rubber stamp John's theories. They call BS when its necessary and John requests (requires) supporting links. John and the other's who post here are generous with their time and knowledge and I'm grateful for the opportunity to listen and learn.
John will be greatly missed when he is gone.

I'd quibble. Everyone has a worldview. One's own might be seen as free of ideological idiocy. Those that are much different are often perceived of as tainted by ideological idiocy. John has a worldview which has attracted more or less compatible contributors and listeners. That is not to say it is not partisan or biased. Unique. Unusual. Focused on a definite perspective. All that, sure.

That said, if Higgenbotham wants a little financial help in keeping things going, he should let me know. I would guess others feel that way as well.

Yesterday Jeremiah Babe called the US$ the "least sick puppy in the liter." But it's still sick. I disagree with JX about the dollar and inflation, but agree (as far as I have an opinion) with him on just about everything else.
