Rise of the Tyrant - Volume 2 of Change to Chains: The 6,000 Year Quest for Global Power"The story of the future is written in the past." Lord Acton, 1877. Did you know Greek philosopher Plato predicted democracy would degenerate into anarchy once people lost their virtue, then a tyrant would arise? Did you know POWER inevitably concentrates into the hands of ONE person? What was the first nation in recorded history that attempted to rule itself without a king?

"The story of the future is written in the past."-Lord Acton, 1877. Did you know Greek philosopher Plato predicted democracy would degenerate into anarchy once people lost their virtue, then a tyrant would arise? Did you know POWER inevitably concentrates into the hands of ONE person? What was the first nation in recorded history that attempted to rule itself without a king? (Hint: they left from Egypt around c.1400 BC). How did Caesar fundamentally change Rome's Republic into a dictatorship? George Washington warned in his Farewell Address, 1796: "Disorders and miseries ... incline the minds of men to seek security ... in the absolute power of an Individual ... who] turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty ... and thus to create ... a real despotism." Ben Franklin observed June 2, 1787: "There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh - get first all the people's money, then all their lands, and then make them and their children servants forever ... I am apprehensive that the government of the States may, in future times, end in a monarchy." Yale President Ezra Stiles stated May 8, 1783: "Whatever mutations may arise in the United States, perhaps hereditary monarchy and a standing army will be the last." President William Henry Harrison, warned March 4, 1841: "The tendency of power to increase itself, particularly when exercised by a single individual ... would terminate in virtual monarchy." Of communist dictatorship, Vladimir Lenin said: "The goal of Socialism is Communism." Can 6,000 years of history help predict the future? This volume is an in-depth review of the rise and fall of great republics, kings and tyrants, with profound quotes from notable philosophers, statesmen and historians, allowing the reader to gain powerful insights from the past into what is happening in the world today. By the end of this book, you will be one step closer to answering the question, "is history repeating itself?"

Might be the Goldilocks blanket

Everybody loves these blankets. Couch throw or super comforting blanket on top of bed covers. My wife selected the first. Now we own 4 or 5. Wife, son, couch, gifts to niece and father. Easy to wash; comes out new again. Doesn't feel cheap or low quality textile like. Feels great light-medium weight! Not too hot. Not too thin or light. Just might be the goldilocks blanket.

Plush, cozy, just right.
Color: Cow Print (Faux Fur Bubble + Flannel), Size: Throw (50" x 60")
Love, love this throw. It is not heated, but will keep you warm. It is extremely good looking to throw over a chair or sofa, and is exceptionally plush and soft. I gave one to a friend as well as a gift, she does not ever express much emotion, but indicates really likes hers. I am glad I ordered one for myself. Truly pleased.

Worth the money
Color: A-solid Ivory (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Throw (50" x 60"), Color: A-solid Ivory (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Throw (50" x 60")
Pleasantly surprised at the quality of this throw. I got it on a super discount at $19. It’s double sided fur so you can feel the fluffiness on either side. It’s thick and soft and I’m so glad I bought it.
