Every 80 years or so, Western civilization goes through a major period of change. 80 years, not coincidentally, is the same as a typical lifespan, just long enough for people to forget the lessons of the past. We had the Glorious Revolution in the late 1600’s, the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Great Depression/WWII, and now this. This period of change began in 2008 with the financial crisis, and it’s only going to get worse.

The period we’re in now will be the most significant period in the history of mankind. I cannot stress this enough. Most people do not realize how historical these years are. The most powerful empire in the history of the world is about to collapse, and that means suffering for hundreds of millions of people.

But the question is, when this period of change is over, will we be ruled by some sort of one-world socialist oligarchy, or will we take back our country and rebuild society on the principles of freedom? That depends on You.

In the past several years, we have made incredible progress in advancing the cause of liberty. People all over the world are waking up and realizing their governments and the banks that fund them are stealing from us and lying to us. And that is why, despite all the opposition, we should not be disheartened. We should be excited!

We have the opportunity to make this world into a wonderful place. A place where individual rights are respected. A place where we are allowed to keep the fruits of our labor. A place where we are free to work together to wipe out poverty, disease, and any other problem that comes our way.

The period of change we are going through will come to an end before you know it. Our time is short. This is our window of opportunity. And when it’s over, will you be living in poverty under the iron fist of the state, or in abundance under the assurance of freedom? It’s up to you.

Please learn all you can about political and economic freedom and spread that message wherever you can. The future depends on it.

You're describing the slow, but definite death of the State.

Sounds like you're loosely describing Strauss & Howe's, The Fourth Turning (http://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Turning-American-Prophecy-Rendezvous/dp/0767900464/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311499812&sr=8-1). I haven't read it myself, but Jim Quinn @ The Burning Platform (http://www.theburningplatform.com/) is a big fan. He's also a Ron Paul fan.

Yea, I've read The Fourth Turning and I think it's completely true. We are definitely going through the winter part of the saeculum, but there's no guarantee that things will improve once it's over. In the book it says, "The nation could be ruined, its democracy destroyed, and millions of people scattered or killed. Or America could enter a new golden age, triumphantly applying shared values to improve the human condition. The rhythms of history do not reveal the outcome of the coming Crisis; all they suggest is the timing and dimension."

That's why I think it's so important that we work hard to educate the people about liberty while there's still time. We can still affect the outcome of this crisis.

I know most people here already realize how important this time in history is, but I just wanted to share it and see what kind of responses I got. I'm going to share it with friends, family and some other sites.

Here is where I first read about the fourth turning: http://www.lewrockwell.com/spl3/fourth-american-revolution.html

I've read a little bit of the Fourth Turning stuff. I think it has some validity to it, but I also feel a strain of determinism that sticks in my craw.
