Dear Friend and PLAIN TRUTH Subscriber:
Many leading economists, bankers, government experts now
predict a gradual but real upturn in the United States economy
during the year ahead. Advance reports say: "Christmas Shopping
Biggest. Ever!"
But what if some world famous scientist gained banner
headlines with the sensational prediction: "The United States
will FALL, as Rome did, in seven to ten years!"
"He's CRAZY!" would probably be the derisive answer.
"Such a thing could never happen here!" people would say. "The
United States is the most powerful, productive, affluent, advanced
nation in history!"
Once Seneca, the Roman statesman, warned that the great
Roman Empire would fall. The people snickered. "Mighty Rome
fall? NEVER!" they retorted. Rome was alive with activity, with
progress! Roman citizens basked in affluence -- in the glitter
of the world's greatest empire. To even speculate for one brief
moment that glorious Rome could collapse was unthinkable.
But Rome FELL!
Rome decayed, rotted, from within. Rome died from an
internal social cancer. It became a pushover!
There is a CAUSE for every effect. And often people
don't see the CAUSE, but, too late, try to deal with the effect.
Right now a shocking, eye opening book is ready to roll
off our presses -- a thought-provoking booklet I want you to read.
I am reserving a copy for YOU (gratis, not to be sold) -- titled
"The MODERN ROMANS." Every thinking person in North America,
Britain and Europe ought to read it. Fortunately, Roman history
is fairly well documented.
But the real CAUSES of Rome's fall have never been fully
understood. Yet THOSE SAME CAUSES are now being repeated in our
western world! This booklet contains a shocking message -- a
WARNING for NOW!
This new booklet, of course, deals primarily about US --
