State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

A revival appears to be taking shape in the US, with a noticeable resurgence of religious interest among young men and women that emerged during President Trump’s “America First” campaign and intensified following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
In our “Is A Holy Awakening Unfolding Across America” report in mid-October, we cited numerous research firms that showed Christian media content – from Bible sales to religious smartphone app downloads, and even Spotify streams – indicated that consumer behavior was gravitating toward revival.
The latest sign the revival has gained momentum through the fall into winter – around the Christmas holiday season – is new data from Box Office Mojo showing that independent faith-based studio Angel Studios’ new animated biblical movie David is a blockbuster hit.

American Greatness
Western civilization arose in the 8th century B.C. Greece. Some 1,500 city-states emerged from a murky, illiterate 400-year-old Dark Age. That chaos followed the utter collapse of the palatial culture of Mycenaean Greece.
But what reemerged were constitutional government, rationalism, liberty, freedom of expression, self-critique, and free markets—what we know now as the foundation of a unique Western civilization.
The Roman Republic inherited and enhanced the Greek model.
For a millennium, the Republic and subsequent Empire spread Western culture, eventually to be inseparable from Christianity.
From the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf and from the Rhine and Danube to the Sahara, there were a million square miles of safety, prosperity, progress, and science—until the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD.
What followed was a second European Dark Age, roughly from 500 to 1000 AD.
Populations declined. Cities eroded. Roman roads, aqueducts, and laws crumbled.
In place of the old Roman provinces arose tribal chieftains and fiefdoms.
Whereas once Roman law had protected even rural people in remote areas, during the Dark Ages, walls and stone were the only means of keeping safe.
Finally, at the end of the 11th century, the old values and know-how of the complex world of Graeco-Roman civilization gradually reemerged.
The slow rebirth was later energized by the humanists and scientists of the Renaissance, Reformation, and eventually the 200-year European Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries.
Contemporary Americans do not believe that our current civilization could self-destruct a third time in the West, followed by an impoverished and brutal Dark Age.
But what caused these prior returns to tribalism and loss of science, technology, and the rule of law?
Can we get letters of marque to seize assets from Congressmen and other government officials who have received kickbacks from our enemies?
I continue to read people’s statements that they are no longer supporting MAGA. Although they are really saying that they are no longer supporting Donald Trump, they do not understand the difference. Do they still support our Republic (or what is left of it). Do they want to live in a great nation again? Are they just frustrated with the same cast of liars supposedly representing the people?
I am currently reading Jack Carr’s latest novel: Cry Havoc. This novel is set during the Vietnam war and outlines many facets of what was taking place behind this proxy war. A point was made in the book that wars are either fought for or against something or someone. Wars that are fought for something are more likely to be won. The soldiers can fight “for” something tangible (property) or intangible (freedom). Wars that are fought “against” something usually are a means for the military industrial complex to make profits and gain power in their nation’s government. The United States’ excuse for war has been to install democracies in the world. Soldiers quickly recognize that their lives are being sacrificed to fight against an enemy with no moral purpose. Who will fight to win a war once the real reasons are exposed?
Are we waiting for a false flag or is Trump actually trying to obtain peace around the world? Is Israel manipulating our government for their nation’s goals? How many terrorist threats will occur over this holiday season? I personally do not see or want a “united” States as we have become too divided and our culture has been destroyed. So I suppose that I do not want to see America great again. That would mean that I am not willing to fight for this country which then leaves me to ponder the obvious question: what am I willing to fight for?
I know that every journey begins with a first step. Look into a mirror and ask whether you are willing to fight for anything. If your character and prayers give you an answer, develop a strategy to move forward. Hopefully, you will receive guidance because we will not come together and win this war until we are willing to fight for it.
