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?"

Average pillow that might be great for some folks, not for me
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I should have know this would be like every other pillow I've ever ordered. It's too puffy for me. No give. It claims to offer better support for side sleepers but instead it's giving me kinks in my neck. Not for me. Not adjustable. Not versatile. Standard materials. White. Can't speak to washability and durability as I have had it long and haven't washed it. fair price for two standard pillows. I really wish all these bedding companies would stop rolling and vacuum sealing pillows and such.

Neck posture/sleep pain improvement
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: King
Pleasantly surprised. Only had for a week now, but bought to replace these old bamboo pillows that were so flattened it was causing shoulder pain or neck tightness maybe. But that has already improved my sleep just from using this week. Ordered the kings, they come vacuum sealed and so I opened and they sat for approx 24 hours or close enough. They didn't appear as puffy so I was a little doubtful but I punched and fluffed them myself and they were good. They have improved the quality of my sleep so far. They are soft and sounds weird but it's almost like your head weight or fluffing them activate it to be fully expanded afterwards. I like them, they're comfortable for me as a mainly side sleeper/sometimes back sleeper.

Didn’t hold its shape after 1 month.
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Queen
been using this pillow for about a month now, and here’s my honest take. At first, it was super comfortable — soft, supportive, and perfect for getting a good night’s sleep. It gave great neck support and felt like a solid upgrade. But after a few weeks, I did notice it started to lose its shape a bit. It’s still comfortable, just not as supportive as when I first got it. I find myself fluffing it more often now.
