I am of the opinion that Western Civilization ended when the First World War started up and that it took about a century for anyone to notice.  I use that point because that war appears to me to be the catalyst that paved the way for the era of the total state which may be ending now due to simple bankruptcy.

That said I have no problem with giving Trump a chance since the usual suspects are known crooks, completely incompetent or both.

I have read from two sources that WWI was the start of the decline of Western Civilization because many decided  after the war that the German philosophers were correct in asserting that " God is dead".

This echoes my astrological theory of the cycle of civilization, which states that Neptune conjoining Pluto at the end of the 19th century heralded the end of a cycle, which lasts almost 500 years. The previous cycle began with the Renaissance and the voyages of discovery and imperialism. This cycle is quite visible in the arts as well as politics, etc. But since the new civilization will last 500 years from 1892, it will not end soon as Galen predicts. The power of the corporate state will be around for a while longer yet.

Trump of course is the biggest clown on the planet.
