Summary

Did you realize that there’s a group of incredibly powerful people from all over the world who are praying for the apocalypse? It’s called Traditionalism, with a capital “T." Professor Benjamin Teitelbaum describes it as the "most transformative political movement of the early 21st century." He writes about it in his book, “War for Eternity,” which Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald called “an indispensable text” for understanding “the most profound and tumultuous political shifts defining societies on every continent.” It’s a bizarre story, involving Steve Bannon, Hinduism, Hitler, mysticism, Aleksandr Dugin, the Constitution, and tons and tons of money. And it’s exactly how the Left wants to paint conservatives — but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Staying healthy is tough, especially if you have a sweet tooth.
