** 28-Oct-2019 World View: A teaching moment for forum members
Trump's announcement of the killing of al-Baghdadi provides me with
a teaching opportunity for those who read the Generational Dynamics
web site and forum, and have been making snarky comments directed
at me with the implication that the only reason I wrote about
it is because you imagine I love Trump.
So, in response to these snarky comments, here's what I wrote
on May 2, 2011, when Osama bin Laden was killed:
So as you can see, Dear Snarky Reader, what I wrote about the bin Laden
killing has the same tone as what I wrote about the al-Bagdadi killing.
This is a good example of how I treated Obama and Trump in exactly
the same way.
The real evil today is the total demented obsession that Democrats
have with Trump.
The result is that Democrats are becoming stupider every day. The
reason is that there's a lot going on in the world, but Democrats know
almost nothing about it, since they know little to start with, and
then the Democrats spend 24 hours a day obsessing over their
impeachment carnival instead of paying attention to the world. So
they know less and less about the world every day (except for the ones
who read my web site). So I'm not joking when I say that Democrats
are getting stupider every day. And Hillary Clinton, particularly,
seems to have become psychotic.
Finally, I'll address zzazz's idiotic comment about the significance
of the death of al-Bagdadi.
I'll start with an example. World War I was triggered when Austrian
Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a Serb high school
student. It's not that Ferdinand was some fantastic leader who was
controlling history. It's because the killing was an event that
triggered other events.
So the killing of al-Baghdadi will almost certainly provoke revenge
attacks, as the killing of bin Laden did. During his press
conference, Trump repeatedly said that al-Baghdadi died like a coward,
died like a dog, whimpering and crying. He said that repeatedly so
that it would be clear that al-Baghdadi was no hero, but a pathetic
figure who should be forgotten, not avenged.
Another interesting thing about the killing, which I mentioned in
the article, is that the US received the cooperation of Russia,
Turkey, and others in the operation.
Generational Dynamics is a non-ideological methodology for
interpreting and analyzing history and current events. The Core
Principle of Generational Dynamics, which I've stated many times, is
as follows:
The Core Principle applies to Trump, to Obama, to al-Baghdadi, to
Ferdinand, and to all politicians.
I've written 6,000 articles in the last 15 years, containing thousands
of Generational Dynamics analyses and predictions about hundreds of
countries, all of which have come true or are trending true. There is
no journalist, politician, analyst or web site anywhere in the world
with a better record of accurate analysis and forecasting.
Generational Dynamics is a major development.

Generational Dynamics is a non-ideological methodology for
interpreting and analyzing history and current events. The Core
Principle of Generational Dynamics, which I've stated many times, is
as follows:
Quote: Core Principle of Generational Dynamics:
"Even in a dictatorship, major decisions are made by masses of
people, entire generations of people, and not by politicians.
Thus, Hitler was not the cause of WW II or the Holocaust. What
politicians say or do is irrelevant, except insofar as their
actions reflect the attitudes of the people that they represent,
and so politicians can neither cause nor prevent the great events
of history -- but can only bring about marginal
adjustments."
The Core Principle applies to Trump, to Obama, to al-Baghdadi, to
Ferdinand, and to all politicians.
I've written 6,000 articles in the last 15 years, containing thousands
of Generational Dynamics analyses and predictions about hundreds of
countries, all of which have come true or are trending true. There is
