Cold Facts

This site is targeted to be destroyed. In the past five years, it has been taken down twice, and the process has begun again. It happens every time traffic begins rising rapidly. As long as I stay alive, I will keep bringing it back. Don’t give up on finding it.
What follows is what’s missing from the typical war analysis.
There is only one war. It’s the big one — the one every person is born into. It doesn’t announce itself, and it doesn’t need to. It’s the permanent power struggle that sits underneath every society, every government, every era. It’s so constant and so familiar that most people never notice it at all.
Every shooting war — even the world‑shaking ones — is just a skirmish inside that larger, ongoing conflict. When one of those skirmishes ends, power doesn’t disappear. It shifts. Sometimes it scatters. More often it concentrates into fewer hands. And once that happens, the next conflict is already guaranteed.
The logic is simple:
Power corrupts. Concentrated power corrupts faster. Near‑absolute power corrupts absolutely.

And then, almost without notice, it disappeared.
