Redux - When 2020 Came Early

I really wanted to review this episode and others related to the then-happening Crisis of 2020, because it's far enough out to consider if that really was the start of the peak of this current crisis or, if more is on its way.  An hour or so of reviewing what was happening at that time indicated it was not something I could through together quickly on the last day of 2023, so for now I'm going to simply repost them and let people see what was on my mind at the time. This was Episode 44, first published in November 2019, and is mostly about the Ukraine Scandal that led to Trump's first impeachment.  It seemed clear that this HAD to be what the Crisis of 2020 was going to be about...and, well, no, not really. ========================== Observing that the Crisis of 2020 appears to have begun, and what it might mean for the events and outcome of this Fourth Turning.  Anzio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Anzio Eric Fletcher Waters' body was never found, but the location of his death has been determined: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/10371269/Found-the-spot-where-Pink-Floyd-musicians-father-died-in-battle.html Everyone has discussed Turkey and the Kurds, so search it out. The Glorious Revolution, Charles II and James II and all the rest, is also all out there, including frequent mentions on this podcast.

Not sure if it's still applicable, but worth considering.
