The Fourth Turning with Jim Quinn
Strauss & Howe’s “The Fourth Turning prophecy” (published in 1997) envisions a period of profound transformation for America, marked by a climactic crisis that reshapes society. Imagine a national—and likely global—eruption of events, spilling into channels of distress carved out during the preceding era of unraveling. These channels, widened by a triggering catalyst, guide the initial flow of upheaval, but predicting the exact trajectory is as uncertain as pinpointing the fault line of an earthquake.
The molten core of this climax could bring economic chaos with financial collapse and rampant poverty, social unrest fueled by divisions and armed factions, political turmoil with institutional breakdown and authoritarian shifts, and military conflicts involving catastrophic weapons. This prophecy challenges us to consider not just the inevitability of change but also the forces shaping the future of civilization.
Jim Quinn, presents four possible outcomes, each shaped by a crisis of immense magnitude. It could signify the end of humanity, an apocalyptic event triggered by a catastrophic blend of social collapse, malevolence, advanced technology, and sheer bad luck. Alternatively, it might mark the end of modernity, with Western civilization’s centuries-long rhythm abruptly halting, potentially due to global conflict and societal collapse.
A third scenario could see the dissolution of America itself, as the nation faces an existential crisis akin to those during the Revolution, Civil War, or World War II. Yet, there is a hopeful possibility: the Fourth Turning could simply close the current era, leading to a rebirth of America and a new societal cycle, transformed but enduring.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
