IS ANOTHER WAR IN EUROPE OUT OF THE QUESTION? A new World Order is forming, and its calling card is Disorder. The big headline isn't that Sarkozy lost, it's that the so called "fringe" groups moved closer to power. In Greece Neo-Nazis won parliament seats. In Germany, Angela Merkel's party lost seats. And in France, the conservatives lost everything. That move away from anything that was in office shows one thing; the people are fed up with what their leaders delivered, nothing, except maybe putting money into their own pockets. So, what we're seeing in Europe is a voter-box version of the so called Arab Spring. And if you've been following the news, the Arab Spring is a bloody mess, literally. Whether Europe's voter revolt will turn into its own war of guns and violence remains to be seen. But it's not out of the question. What we're seeing is a classic transition from what Sarqar and Batra describe as an Acquisitor Age to a Laborer Stage in the Social Cycle. An Acquisitor Stage is one where the rulers covet money and nothing else and where wealth is so poorly distributed that society snaps. A Laborer Stage is one where disorder is the rule of the day and where economies struggle to meet the basic needs of the people. What follows a Laborer stage is usually a Warrior stage where the military takes over. Just look at Egypt for guidance on that front right now. France just went from an acquisitor stage to what could be the beginning of a Laborer stage. Greece has been in a Laborer stage for over a year. The U.S. seems to be in the death throes of its own Acquisitor stage. The bottom line is that the Social Cycle is playing out in textbook fashion. Disorder rules before order returns. decisionpoint.com GZ
