Written at least 50 years prior to the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 AD, ‘The City of God’ provides interesting insights and a plausible ‘root-cause-analysis’ of the ultimate demise of the Roman Empire; reminiscent of today’s ‘Anglo-American Empire’ who are desperately clinging to their fading power. And like the Roman Empire, they are looking in all the wrong places for solutions and of course scapegoats. My take: unexamined assumptions blind our current power structure’s ability to see the underlying causes and thus are unable to advance any potentially workable solutions. Alternately, this may be a controlled demolition.
St. Augustine was very knowledgeable on the pagan gods of his time, while I personally struggle to keep up with the many relationships, names and detailed critiques of pagan contradictions, activities and the resultant impact on Rome. At the same time, I find this book fascinating in terms of its historical insights into the fall of this great empire. Perhaps a ‘lessons-learned’ for today? – ClearNFO

Science Unshackled | Restoring Causality in a World of Chaos | November 2023, Paperback: 275 pages | By Matthew Ehret
As a young student of Math and Philosophy, I noted many unanswered questions I just didn’t have time or resources to explore further. These questions were swept aside to focus on learning the proscribed materials provided by the university. Decades passed since that time and now I have the grand opportunity to revisit many of these inconsistencies and counter-patterns that stuck in my mind like a splinter:
“You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.” – Morpheus (from The Matrix).
Matt’s treatment of the ‘Leibniz–Newton calculus controversy’ was enlightening and helpful: As a young math student, I often wondered why Newton got all the credit. I also enjoyed understanding the roots of our current science can be traced back to Aristotle and why Plato would have been the better choice.
Matt makes many references to Plato’s Timaeus and Critias. My first instinct was to save time and read or listen to established ‘scholars’ opinions on this piece, but I am thankful I read it afresh –trusting myself– without peering through the lenses and guidance of established ‘experts’. I also skipped the introduction after reading some 20 pages which turned out to be a great decision. The dialogue starts to gain some traction at ‘3. Prelude’.The distinction between being and becoming; the world has come into being as a likeness of eternal being; our account of it can therefore be no more than ‘likely’.) TIMAEUS: We must in my opinion begin by making the following distinctions. What is that which always is, and has no becoming, and what is that which is always becoming but never in any way is?”
Matt also exposes the anthropogenic climate change fiction brilliantly and concisely in Chapter 8.
Sit back and enjoy as Matt exposes the reader to a deeper understanding of our history, art, science, philosophy and geopolitics; and how they have worked together to create today’s World of Chaos. -db

Tavistock Institute: Social Engineering the Masses by Daniel Estulin
Tavistock Institute: Social Engineering the Masses Paperback – September 22, 2015 by Daniel Estulin PhD (240 pages)
Daniel Estulin is an award-winning investigative journalist and author of The True Story of the Bilderberg Group. He is the host of two radio shows in Spain.
The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered. With connections to U.S. research institutes, think tanks, and the drug industry, the Tavistock has a large reach, and Tavistock Institute attempts to show that the conspiracy is real, who is behind it, what its final long term objectives are, and how we the people can stop them.

Comments
Disintegration brings to the table many causative inputs missed during my second look at history using the corrective lenses provided by the likes of Antony C. Sutton, Quigley, Engdahl, and others. This book was written after the US-orchestrated Ukrainian putsch in 2014 but before Russia’s SMO, so represents a snapshot of that time (2021) on the condition of America internally and externally. The trajectory of destruction is well referenced and documented with many footnotes. Since 2021, this self-inflicted death spin of corruption, incompetence and information manipulation has only gotten worse. This is not just another depressing book designed to list the many failures of America, this book brings new insight and evidence of the primary causes that put this great country on the path of disintegration. –ClearNFO
“Martyanov shows that America’s disintegration is irreversible because the ruling elites are an organic part of the calamitous sources of dysfunction that have destroyed the country.” –PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
“Andrei Martyanov’s third book discussing the collapse of the U.S. Empire looks into the social and economic phenomena which all contribute to that collapse. Disintegration is a multi-level analysis of the crisis which is now so clearly plaguing the USA of 2021. I consider Disintegration a “must read” for every U.S. patriot who wants his country to overcome its current difficulties and for every person on the planet who wants to avoid a full-scale war between Russia and/or China and the USA. Indeed, if you want to get a superb summation of what is really going on in the United States—read all of Martyanov’s books.” –THE VINEYARD SAKER
You can find Andrei’s informative podcasts and interviews on many popular platforms, including Rokfin, BitChute, Rumble, Odysee, YouTube and many more.
