Franks, Romans, Feudalism, and Doctrine : An Interplay between Theology and Society

With all the upheavals and lashing outs by the collective west led by the hegemony USA, an intellectually honest person will reasonably wonder how long before this group of Neo-liberal minded states unravel. Along with the rampant cancel culture of anything and everything of Russian origin, an honest soul is witnessing the depravity, rank corruption at many levels of the societies within that group of western countries and its copy-cats elsewhere beyond the continental Europe (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea etc.). This lecture will quickly open your eyes to understand the machinations of how this unholy construct known as Western Europe and its "eastern European vassals" was conceived and established by the barbarians right down to the present day imploding and decaying morass -- hellbent with envy and hatred as it seeks to destroy the third Rome, the descendant of the Christendom of the ancient Eastern Roman Empire which Emperor Constantine built from ground up away from the rotting pagan Rome. Again the common people of Western Europe is left in the dark to suffer while the rulers possessed by the same spirit of the barbaric hordes scream in its death throes against the Lord as they try again to destroy the true Christendom it had imitated to subjugate the populace with its false god, false religion and its protesting spawns.
