In this episode, Dr. Carl Sagan talks about generational cycles and how they are like the seasons, and how to understand the cycles of human history. He explains the four turnings in American history, and why they are so important.
00:41:58.680To have had a little stream of the morning sun till die for save.
00:42:09.680Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind, should old acquaintance be forgot and days of old lang syne.
00:42:34.500Beautiful. Make sure you get the birch gold into the dollar empire. We try to make sure you're up to speed on all the big ideas because ideas have, in the world of the war room, ideas have consequences.
00:42:48.040Earth-shattering consequences, ideas like the fourth turning, ideas like techno-feudalism, ideas like what is a pandemic, what is herd immunity, and ideas like modern monetary theory, an idea that was never really debated but ended up breaking the world monetary system.
00:43:09.740You're going to find out why in the new free installment. Birchgold.com slash Bannon. Get it today. It's a holiday weekend assignment. We need you up to speed on this.
00:43:18.820So, Ben, at the Christmas dinner that we do every year with the Bannon clan, I was given a gift from my beloved younger brother, kid brother, Navy pilot.
00:43:31.840And he gave me the t-shirt and I just held it up. Free Constantinople. And I think Rahim had dinner with us. Sir Rahim was with us. And it went viral. Millions of hits. And particularly in Turkey and Greece sucked up a lot of media time.
00:43:51.700Why is this such a hot issue in Turkey, brother?
00:43:58.540Because only in the secular West is history considered to be something that has very little relationship to today.
00:44:09.280The rest of the world, and especially in the Islamic sphere, history is a key part of – it's not just yesterday's politics.
00:44:18.340It's the directional arrow that explains where you are, how you got there and where you're going.
00:44:23.960Look, look, Constantinople fell in 1453, right? Almost a thousand years, slightly more than a thousand years after the fall of Rome itself, second Rome, Constantinople.
00:44:41.640It's a big issue in Turkey because the Turks are – there are people via Asia Minor that go back to at least the New Testament times.
00:44:54.260They have a history. They have a very proud history, a noble history via the Ottoman Empire.
00:45:03.620We in the West, you know, thanks to the progressive education, we've brainwashed the last three or four generations into being absolutely ashamed of all the good points of our history.
00:45:16.580That doesn't really exist elsewhere in the world where they'll take elements that they're proud of and there'll be vibrant points throughout the culture.
00:45:26.660So, yeah, I mean, it was a – your T-shirt is a provocation.
00:45:30.460I mean, you know, free Constantinople, I don't know who we would free it for.
00:45:36.300There were only a couple – 2,000, 2,500 practicing Orthodox Christians left in Istanbul.
00:45:45.180Well, when I mentioned earlier that Europe is heading to perhaps a Constantinople point rather than a collapse of the Holy Roman Empire,
00:45:58.100what I meant is a full-on cultural change.
00:46:04.520We've pushed Jesus Christ out of our culture.
00:46:06.860We haven't been interested in a supernatural sense in divine revelation, in the true faith, probably since the 60s, not in any serious capacity.
00:46:20.160And, as I say, nature abhors a vacuum.
00:46:23.540For the last 30 years, 35 years, the fastest growing religion in the UK is Islam.
00:46:29.200But, whilst we have conceptually hamstrung ourselves, Islam is growing ever stronger.
00:46:36.400In fact, it is encouraged by the weakness that we Christians seemingly show at the highest levels.
00:46:43.900And that is the fate that faces occupied Europe.
00:46:47.720And I've mentioned this before on the show, and I always say America is not yet in the dire situation that we are in occupied Europe.
00:46:57.860And I said this before, I'll say it again.
00:46:59.620You guys, you can still turn things around.
00:47:06.980And I always say that fundamentally our last dying act as a civilization in Europe will be to convince America not to walk down the path that we have walked down.
00:47:18.740But to come back to Constantinople, you know, history for them isn't just something that happened five years ago.
00:47:25.560Look, when 9-11, right, 9-11, when Osama bin Laden flew those planes, open brackets, perhaps with the CIA's help, perhaps with Mossad's help, into the Twin Towers, right?
00:47:39.260That date, 9-11, that represents something Islam.
00:47:43.060It was the day after Jan Sobievsky lifted the siege of Vienna in, I think, 1683 or something.
00:47:56.420That was the last, when the Poles lifted the siege of Vienna, that was it for 400 years.
00:48:04.340At an institutional level, that was the end of the Islamic Empire's attempts to take over continental Europe.
00:48:14.540And that date by Osama bin Laden was picked.
00:48:17.920Because I say, in the Islamic sphere, history isn't just something dead and forgotten and of interest only to some obscure eccentrics.
00:49:12.680Let me close by wishing you and the war room posses and the great team, the production teams, both in D.C. and in Denver, a very happy new year.
00:49:24.640A happy new year to you, sir, in the eternal city.
00:50:09.680That's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements.
00:50:14.400And of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.
00:50:17.540For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.
00:50:26.380And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.
00:50:38.980So we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com and cheers to your health.
