Mark Twain suggested that “of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.” The principal apparatus that man depends on to direct his cruelty or violence at others is the institution that we call government, or the state. This unit of authority (the structure that we call government or the state) is the instrument that most men are unceasingly striving to get in control of its machinery to satiate its intricate and complex systems with the pleasure of pouring their torment and ruse on others (i.e., putting fallacy above truth), including debasing the fittest (the rich).

Since the beginning of the second millennium, the western European monarchs and republics (also known as the old powers) have been vigorously competing with each other to dominate the international order. The goodness that the old powers locked away in the last one thousand years transformed them from being petty societies (or monarchs) into becoming the king of kings. Yet despite all the evil, cruelty, pain, and ruse that the old powers spread and, to this day, are causing in their ongoing search to keep their dominant role, which even included becoming themselves entangled in internal conflicts to determine who could make the weakest consider the opinion of the fittest before taking action of their own, their gains since 1945 appear completely irrelevant and unbeneficial to them.

This book tries to understand if the decision of the heirs of the old powers to reject the counsel of their fathers (the victors of WW2) to rest from wars in the aftermath of WW2 and to opt for letting non-state and international institutions (United Nations, World Bank, IMF, NATO, EU, Arab League, African Union, ASEAN, NAM, NGOs, G7, G70, G700, etc.) devise wicked plans and add cruelty besides the plans that national governments are already adding has increased the number of people who started making them (the families/dynasties that control the western European monarchs and republics) their priority and working toward making them an option instead of a necessity or not (i.e., began to consider their opinion before taking action on their own). The main aim is to understand if the decision of the heirs of the old powers to reduce the stock of men with moral courage since 1945 and increase the stock of people who are becoming their enemies or sources of grief will fare best in the end for them or if the partiality in all matters of law (violation of the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights) that their two servants (national government and international institutions) are compelling in the international order would accelerate their collapse. In particular, I want to understand if this apparent rise in gossip, violence, conflict, intolerance, grumbling, turmoil, wickedness, and other tragedies that swept the world recently could make “the love of most grow cold” until the power of the heirs of the victors of WW2 fades and falls away or if those heirs would be able to overcome this rejection of morality and law that their critical thinkers and servants (national governments and international institutions) are spearheading, thus permitting them to continue to get their way despite the resistance of others.
