“The ability of the globalists to direct the world’s economy by means of central banking and Keynesian deficits will be seen for what it is in theory today: an ersatz order that is going to lead to a monumental disorder. We are in the middle of a vast delusion: the delusion of the state’s ability to build a monetary and fiscal tower that reaches into heaven. That monstrosity is going to disintegrate.” – Dr. Gary North in an article entitled “The Tower of Babel vs. The Internet”

Almost every Saturday, I send out a Tip of the Week. It’s just something I have picked up along the way that may make your life a little easier. If you would like to hear from me (almost) every Saturday, just go to the home page of my site and plug in your name and email. You will also get a free copy of my book on learning Latin (and almost anything else). Just go here: https://dwanethomas.com/
If you are interested in learning Latin, you can go through the classes on my site 24/7. I recommend the book Lingua Latina by Hans Ørberg. If you tackle the book and find yourself bogged down, you may find the classes on my site helpful. To join, just click here: https://dwanethomas.com/join/
If you want a more professionally filmed experience, check out the best-selling DVD series: Visual Latin.
Or, if you want to skip Latin, and just jump right into learning English words from Latin and Greek roots, you may enjoy the series Word Up! Warning. Word Up! is a bit wacky. You will learn a lot… but, you may find yourself rolling your eyes, too.
By the way, some of the links in this post are affiliate links. Not trying to pull a fast one on you. I only promote what I believe in.
