HOW A POWERFUL NATION IS DESTROYED

HOW A POWERFUL NATION IS DESTROYED

It’s not because the enemy has superior firepower, and it’s not because of the state of the economy, and it’s not the threat of terrorism or subversion: these are all … Continue reading HOW A POWERFUL NATION IS DESTROYED

YOU WERE WRONG, ORWELL!

It contains more subject matter, and so the need for two or three parts, but I think I've made it easier to read.
