Forced after seventy five years of anti-communism to finally define itself based on what it stood for and not what it stood against, the United States entered a house of shadows in which it continues to wander. Stricken by decades of economic and military excess, its mission has become confused, its legal, moral and philosophical foundation abandoned and its role as leader of the western world questioned as never before.
America is clearly not the country it was before 9/11 but what has it become and what do the current candidates for the 2016 presidential election tell us about the direction we're headed?
Join us as we explore the little-analyzed facts and covert agendas that the United States must now reconsider in the 21st century, and what those agendas mean to America's role as "the dark force that orders the universe," in our next installment of America, an Empire in Twilight Part II.
