I do not believe in coincidences.

I don't either.  Now, it's my hope the petrodollar does indeed crater.  Said implosion will crash the imperial project and the neoliberal corporatacy.

The end of the empire and technocratic government in general and globalism will be the only good things to come out of this fourth turning.  In the end it will lay a foundation for a smaller and much less intrusive government which will be good thing because I have no problem with the era of the total state ending.  The process is just going to be painful.
