History does repeat since the beginning of time. No empire lasts forever.
I found this a week ago and it explains sooooo much of what we are seeing here and in other western countries. The author died sometime in the 1980’s so he didn’t see what we are seeing today. He was right on.
I highly recommend reading this.

Attempted to read your link but it keeps trying to push new/unnecessary software so I’ll pass. PDF documents should not require any kind of supplementary download.
