Introduction:

Post 20 presented a 30,000 foot view of the broad, underlying causal factors for this period of strife. The Cusp of Collapse and War discussed a predictive analysis trend suggesting an impending war, attributing it to various factors such as historical cycles (Fourth Turning Events), financial debt cycles, and the potential for imperial (civilizational) collapse.

The Fourth Turning theory posits a cyclical pattern in which crises lead to revolutionary periods. The theory suggests a recurring pattern of societal moods and crises every 80-100 years, currently placing us in a "crisis" period. Financial debt cycles, as explained by figures like Ray Dalio and Lyn Alden, are seen as linked to these turning events.

The post contends that central banks, particularly tied to big banks, play a significant role in stimulating wars to maintain and expand their power. A historical timeline was presented to illustrate instances where banking interests influenced major events, including wars. The concept of civilizational collapse is explored, and although debated, a cyclical pattern is scene in larger data sets.

The article also touched on dividing lines within societies, emphasizing how leaders historically used divisions to maintain control. Key players, including central banks, big banks, globalist organizations, nation-states, and multinational corporations, are identified with their respective motivations.

Finally, the conclusion suggests a trend toward war, orchestrated by those in power, exploiting unfolding crises for their benefit.
