THINK ABOUT IT

Welcome to Amerika 2024…

 

This is the nation where THE DARK AGES, THE GILDED AGE, and THE CRUSADES have morphed into one deadly era of history with the added ingredient of Fascist Italy and Germany.

 

If you have never read about history, or in fact, thought that history was about a bunch of old people, you might not have an inkling that HISTORY DOES REPEAT ITSELF!  Why bother studying facts? Let the wealthy do that for you…

 

THE DARK AGES. The Dark Ages refers to a period in European history from around the 5th to the 10th centuries, characterized by a perceived decline in economic, intellectual, and cultural activity following the fall of the Western Roman Empire. (American Heritage Dictionary)

 

THE GILDED AGE. The Gilded Age refers to a period in U.S. history from the late 1870s to the late 1890s, characterized by rapid industrialization, economic growth, and significant social inequality, alongside widespread political corruption. (American Heritage Dictionary)

 

THE CRUSADES. The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated, supported, and sometimes directed by the Christian Latin Church in the medieval period. (American Heritage Dictionary)

 

FASCISM. Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
