Perhaps the most explosive insider historical account of significance ever written, Procopius' "The Secret History" claims to voice the untold story of the latter stages of Eastern Rome and it's swift degeneration, specifically under Justinian and Theodora.
This respected scholar and historian was no enemy of the Emperor and Empress - at least at the outset - and in fact was chosen by them to be the leading Byzantine court historian. He subsequently became the man responsible for documenting the Gothic wars, spearheaded by Eastern Rome's most famous and capable general of the day, Belisarius.
So explosive was the work, and so extreme were certain claims, that the entire work has been largely ignored - a serious mistake and injustice, in my view.
This video is a tribute to Procopius, his work, and all similar important histories quietly shuffled away or proactively hidden. One can't help but notice countless parallels with the collapse of Rome and our own degenerate, prideful, ignorant and forgetful age, and important related lessons.. let's not turn our heads.

Perhaps no aspect of our history has been as broadly impactful as the degeneration of our teachers and spiritual leaders.
As part of a recurring theme that continues to this day, the role/label/title these earliest high priests and sages helped imbue with such respect, admiration, power and influence, became an irresistible draw to a class of men looking for shortcuts to undeserved power and influence.. and this most important of institutions - and the all-important positions within it - thus became their foremost target.

It's said that Alexander slept with Homer's 'Iliad' under his pillow.
He considered the great heroes in these masterful epics to be peers, brothers, kin.. and believed himself to be of their lineage.
He seemed to view their courage, competence, their feats of greatness, as a friendly challenge - and took up this challenge, with every ounce of his being.
The great men of past eras who strove for glory and honor are often misunderstood, in our age, as being predominantly fueled by selfish motives. A broader picture view might suggest the polar opposite - such men rarely 'enjoyed' the decadent and hedonistic luxury and ease of life experienced by their opposite type, but instead chose lives of sporting hardship, struggle, and the active overcoming of obstacles.. in exchange for leaving a lasting imprint on the fabric of reality, serving to energize and inspire and provide a living example to all who might come after.

The French Revolution (1789 - 1799) led to the destruction of both the Monarchy and the Aristocracy and high Nobility of France, and set new governing precedent in the process.
Posing as an organic movement of the people, it would serve to help change the trajectory of the western world, and profoundly alter the way western mankind would view nations, governments, and leadership.
Victors really do write the history books - and few instances better illustrate this concept than historical accounts of the French Revolution. Anti-hierarchical sentiments, democracy, humanism, reductionist materialism, rationalism, the modern conception of 'human rights', the term 'Republican' and concepts of 'left-wing' and 'right-wing', the guillotine - all spring from revolutionary France.

It might be said that the birth of secular humanism, 'scientism' or 'rationalism', and the materialist and reductionist philosophies that have come to so dominate modernity, first stepped into the foreground of the western world most profoundly as a result of the French Revolution - and the several similar revolutions it helped spark and inspire.
The ancient and traditional conception of hierarchy, in which God represents the 'capstone', with Kings and Chieftains and Holy Men and ruling Nobility to act as his stewards and right hand to establish right order in the material world, seemed to be the foremost target of the leading players responsible for the events of these years.
Kill off the prevailing conception of God, kill off the earthly Father and Mother of a nation, and you're left with lawyers, sophists, and money men.. and the entire world eventually pays the price for this disastrous trade.

I debated whether or not to use that unfortunately now-controversial term 'Aryan', here - but no other term seems to suffice, as 'Indo-European' isn't all-encompassing enough, 'Yamnaya' and 'Corded Ware' certainly aren't, as these two seem to be essentially the same people divided by what I believe is a relatively artificial line..
So, I'd like to see this far more technically-correct term revived.
And it matters. I believe it matters a great deal. When we're deprived of any term or label for this larger family, we're then unable to even conceive of it once being a singular family, and this almost seems to be the goal of much of modern academia.
These next three videos will hopefully help counter this manipulative effort.
Language is the first clue - the proto-Indo-European language laying at the root of the several branches that would go on to spread across the world, speaking clearly to our shared, singular heritage. Genetics provide another, showing a clear path of travel...
