If you’ve ever tried to understand why civilizations rise, why movements catch fire, or why humans keep repeating the same grand mistakes and breakthroughs, chances are you’ve already wandered into Howard Bloom territory—whether you knew it or not.

By Howard Bloom This is not the same world it was on January 20, 2025.  Things we are accustomed to are being yanked away.  And things we were taught to believe are true are now being called false.  Plus some of the things we’re being told are not true at all.   The trend in governance is turning upside
