In our modern American society, we find ourselves amidst a disheartening breakdown, where chaos prevails. The dominance of a few corporations stifles diversity across numerous sectors of our economy. Complex and biased laws and tax systems cater to special interests, while the upbringing of many children and the quality of education are skewed towards wealthy areas. Moreover, our online platforms inundate us with fraudulent schemes, adding to the societal disarray.This thought-provoking book offers a fresh perspective on historical change, presenting the idea that the Western world has undergone three distinct civilizations: the Greco-Roman, the Medieval, and the Enlightenment. With the passing of each civilization, we have witnessed a gradual deterioration of institutions and the erosion of social consensus. Examining the challenges we face today, the book delves into the concept of 'Justice' and questions what truly constitutes a fair society. It then presents a range of potential improvements to our current institutions, serving as a temporary measure until a new civilization emerges. Additionally, the book explores America's place in the global context and delves into the complexities faced by other civilizations experiencing their own periods of institutional breakdown.By offering a critical analysis of our present state and proposing alternative perspectives, this book provides a guiding light for navigating the turbulent waters of societal transformation. It inspires hope for a future where our institutions can be reimagined, fostering a more just and harmonious society.

This book is not about women, it's about what's done to women so let me ask you a question. When you put on makeup in the morning or for a date, who decides the color of the eye shadow? Is it you? Are you sure or did some advertisement or sales person influence you? Should you go with smoky eyes? Do you need it at all?Are you overweight? By how much? Who decides? Your dress size, doctor, significant other, the mirror, what? What about your shape? Are the curves in the right place? Are your breasts too large, too small or, heaven forbid, sagging? What about your butt? Oh my God, is that cellulite?What about other less superficial things like how real is the "Glass Ceiling" and does it matter? What about children and how many? What about abortion? Work or stay at home? Etc.You don't have to answer but we both know that millions of women wrestle with questions like these every day but nobody bothers to ask why. Why are women put in such an awkward position that they have to question themselves in the first place?Is it possible that women question themselves because we are surrounded by ancient myths kept alive by lies perpetrated by people with special interests and a lot of nonsense thrown in for entertainment value? Are these myths, lies and nonsense designed to keep you, the 21st century woman, from achieving true social parity?The answer is a resounding yes and this book provides the answers to questions you may have never thought to ask but should have.

OPERATION STORM is the inside story - told by those who took part - of the greatest secret war in SAS history. The tipping point, Mirbat, South Oman, 19 July 1972 is one of the least-known yet most crucial battles of modern times. If the SAS had been defeated at Mirbat, the Russian and Chinese plan for a communist foothold in the Middle East would have succeeded, with catastrophic consequences for the oil-hungry West. OPERATION STORM is a page-turning account of courage and resilience. Mirbat was a battle fought and won by nine SAS soldiers and a similar number of brave local people - some as young as ten years old - outnumbered by at least twenty-five to one. Roger Cole, one of the SAS soldiers who took part, and writer Richard Belfield have interviewed every SAS survivor who fought in the battle from the beginning to the end - the first time every single one of them has revealed their experience. OPERATION STORM is a classic story of bravery against impossible odds, minute by minute, bullet by bullet.
