In their 1991 book, Strauss-Howe discussed Turnings -- the cycles of culture that repeat over time and form the basis for predicting future events.
In the August 2023 Book "THE ALPHA QUESTION" the 20-year Strauss-Howe cycles were modified to reflect a more universal 19-year cycle that aligns with astronomy and ancient calendars.
There is also a series of related cycles like the 49-year OMER and the longer 63-year cycle composed of both 7 & 9-year increments.
The above chart shows these cycles or time frames -- including a 52-year cycle in 13-year increments and a 72-year cycle in 12-year increments. The top bar shows where component increments form brief periods of transition.
In the Strauss-Howe analysis, every fourth increment is a CRISIS period within the culture or society. Considering that individuals are born every year, the degree of Crisis then affects them and, in turn, they affect the Societal Crisis. As seen above, a child following the seven-year pattern enters their first Crisis at the age of military service.
Thus, if the society has entered a time of war, the two multiply or intensify each other.
In the larger societal cycles or Strauss-Howe Turnings, America entered its crisis cycle in 2016 and is now moving toward the intense center of that crisis which reaches its climax in 2035. If it followed a Bell Curve, the peak year -- the worst of the events -- would occur in 2025/26. Given the ages of Trump and Biden, if both are the Presidential nominees for 2024, it doesn't matter which one wins, they could each die of old age in 2025/26 and their VP would then determine the state of affairs for the nation.
As pointed out in The Alpha Question, ALL of the POTUS have been descendants of the same individual and when that line of descent is broken, as it has been in Russia, Germany, Spain, and France, the nation falls from its position of global power. Those nations whose leaders were not part of the family never achieved meaningful global status -- the exception was Mongolia after it took over China. But, even there, that power was based on one man and ended with his death.
World War Two ended in 1948, assuming a new 76-year cycle began, we are now in the Crisis phase that ends in 2024. The Crisis phase of a 72-year cycle would have ended with the 2020 election. One need only read (or hear) the news about Trump & Biden to know that does not apply and we are deeply in the process of both men being in their personal Crisis phase. And it is being compounded by the social crisis phase -- which could be related to both the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
1966/67 was the "Season of Love". If that was the start of a cycle, then we are now in the Crisis phase of the 72-year one and entering the crisis phase of the 76-year cycle. So, again, we have about 18 years of the type of drama we are seeing unfold with both Biden and Trump. It's not going to end until 2040.
To top it off, Christian and End-of-Times proponents know this to be the period in Revelation when the Third World War destroys many thongs. Based both on these calculations and calculations linked to the Hebrew Calendar, WW3 is set for 2033/34. If America breaks the ancestral link, it will suffer greatly in ant nuclear war.
