Whenever a large mixture of these elements are combined within the superpower and those
elements mix in such a way that they energize each other, that superpower's speed of
collapse increases. Whether these elements are actively present or latent, they need an
assisting element to activate them and cause the downfall of that superpower and its
centralization (of power), no matter how much military power it possesses. As we have said,
this is because the power of its centralization, embodied by the overwhelming military power
and the deceptive media halo, can only be in a cohesive society.

What if this assisting element is the decree of God which He ordained in order to act upon
these three axes?
It would not only work to activate the latent elements of cultural
annihilation but confront the military power with exhaustion.
This confrontation and
exhaustion directly affects the third axis, which is the deceptive media halo. It removes the
aura of invincibility which this power projects, that nothing at all stands in front of it.
This is exactly what happened to the Communist superpower when it was put in a military
confrontation with a power weaker than itself by several degrees; it was not even
comparable. However, (the weaker power) succeeded in exhausting it militarily and, even
more important, it activated the elements of cultural annihilation in (the superpower's)
homeland:
- The dogma of atheism versus belief systems that believe in the next life and a God.
- Love of the world, worldly pleasures, and opulence versus individuals who had nothing to
lose.
