How do we describe the current shift in American and geopolitics?
The problem with terms is that they mean different things in different contexts. In Russia, the communists are right wing. In America, they are on the extreme left. Libertarianism is extreme right wing, but extreme left wing at the same time. Those terms are meaningless because they shift over place and time. The most helpful paradigm is that the political realignment is no longer horizontal — left vs. right — but vertical — populace vs. the elites. That is now a worldwide phenomenon by the way.
I’m excited about Trump’s foreign policy. He’s right more than 50 percent of the time, but he was forced to compromise with the neocons in his first term. The plus is that he was ALWAYS against foreign wars. He was against Iraq and Afghanistan when most Republicans believed we were fighting an existential threat in radical Islam. Most Republicans in Washington still believe that, but a few are waking up.

The Fourth Political Theory in Biblical Perspective
Imagine if you lived in Western Europe 500 years ago and someone told you that an explorer had just circumnavigated the world. There were now newly discovered vast continents to the West and East and huge civilizations that had never encountered each other before. What if they tried to explain the coming changes in world trade, world reserve currencies, joint-stock investment capitalism, global banking systems, the Internet? What about the Protestant Reformation, Enlightenment science, constitutional government, Liberal democratic republics? You might have scratched your head and thought you were talking to a crazy person.
Things we take as mundane reality today would have been thought of as wonders just a few years ago. Few people today understand that we are on the cusp of a monumental shift in worldview, politics, and civilizational culture that is at least as great as the changes we saw in the West beginning in the 1500s. Of course, change happens all the time, but most live as though the world we see is the only one possible. Innovations on the level described above are inconceivable. These coming tectonic quakes will shift civilizational politics. These changes are coming as fast as they began to come 500 years ago.
Are you ready, Christian, to weather the earth-shaking changes? Are you ready to lead?
This book came about because I read three books that helped me form a more cohesive worldview on geopolitics.
- Ray Dalio’s Principles for Dealing With the Changing World Order
- Samuel P. Huntington’s The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order
- Aleksandr Dugin’s The Fourth Political Theory
