theorganicprepper | A 40-year-old essay predicted the end of an empire and current events
sure make it look like we’re watching it happen in real time.
I spend a fair bit of time scanning the news every day for my site, Preppers Daily News.
And some days, I just have to shake my head as I realize that people
are so desperate for…something…that they just keep going to further and
further extremes to try and find that elusive thing their lives are
missing.
The more I read, the more likeness I see to Sir John Glubb’s essay, The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival.
(It’s only 24 pages and you should definitely read it – it’s
brilliant.) Sir Glubb wrote this outstanding work when he was 79 years
old, after a lifetime of being a soldier, traveling the world, and
analyzing history. It’s well worth a read as he goes into detail about
the fall of empires past.
The final stage of the end of an empire is the Age of Decadence. Some signs of this age are political dissensions (Antifa, anyone?), an influx of foreigners (Europe, anyone?), the welfare state (America, anyone?), despair (350 million people diagnosed), depravity (see below), and the rise of frivolity as people try to fill lives that have less and less meaning.
Sound familiar?
