A Historical Reminder of What Defines the United States, As Told by Frederick Douglass We live in tumultuous days" one could say "the end of an era". It is clear that there is a storm coming, however, the question is will it be the sort of storm that provides sustenance and relief to drought-stricken and barren lands, or will it be the sort of storm that destroys indiscriminately and leaves nothing recognizable in its wake?

Propaganda is Vital In Upholding The Illusion of a Democracy Democracy is at every moment of its existence defined by the character of its citizenry. Democracy only exists if it is upheld, and if a citizenry fails to do so, it renders itself defenseless to an ever-creeping tyranny.

Wild Conspiracy Theory? The Truth Behind the Biggest Threat to the 'War on Terror' Narrative The question thus stands; in whose best interest is it that no peace be permitted to occur in the Middle East and that U.S.-Russian relations remain verboten?
