Is democracy done? Historian Dr. Cesar Vidal explores the expressions and failures of democracy throughout history, and the current threats to its existence around the globe in A Changing World. Vidal, author of over 180 books and possessing Ph.Ds. in history, philosophy, law, and theology, connects the dots between the collapse of national sovereignty and global warming, illegal immigration, gender ideology, national debt, and a globalist agenda. A Changing World details in five parts-- a history of democracy, its threats, and options for the future, explaining the "Far from democracy and freedom being almost naturally imposed realities, both are more threatened than ever. This threat is not only external but also, to a large extent, internal. A Changing World is an attempt to explain what democracy is and its fragility as well as what the globalist agenda is-a colossal threat to the continuity of democracy itself," says the author about his new book.

Well, this was an unexpected gem. I can’t imagine why more people haven’t spotted it, apart from the fact that the author is Spanish, and so doesn’t frame every reference from an American point of view. I discovered it quite by accident, whilst searching on Amazon specifically for books on this subject. (I’ve come to the conclusion recently that globalism vs patriotism is a more useful debate than right vs left or conservative vs liberal). This book is extensively and meticulously researched, and makes its points in clear and logical language. It also takes the time to explain many issues (from the history of Freemasonry to the fall of the Soviet Union) in high level but sensible timelines that provide excellent background. I was surprised at how even handed and thoughtful much of this book was. For example, it’s probably the first time I’ve read about Putin without him being portrayed as a Bond villain. The author is patient and reasonable enough to explain why that’s not the case. Okay, so I’ll never be sold on Vidal’s objection to abortion, but he’s joined a massive number of dots for me that I always kind of suspected might be related, such as the historic links between Catholicism and poverty. This is a useful wake-up call for anyone with a functional level of political and social literacy. It’s a great work of anti-woke knowledge that more people should know about.
Extraordinary book. Reading required. Anybody wanting to understand what's been going on in the US and around the world in 2020 and beyond needs to read this book.
This was not an easy read for me. In fact, I skimmed some of the chapters that dealt with countries I was not interested in. He is obviously well-studied on this topic and had very good footnotes. I really benefitted from his explanation of the globalist agenda using 1. global warming 2. gender ideology 3. Population reduction and 4. de-nationalizing countries. He also talked about how the globalists instigate racial tensions to attain their goals. The appendix on Israel was disappointing to me because he almost came across as being anti-Semitic. This book helped me to make sense of some of the observations and questions I have had for years. Not a book for everyone, but truths that everyone should be aware of!
