There is a solution to all of this and it will come, it cannot be voted on nor can it be avoided at this point, revolution. As the debt increases per household and the rich hold out their loving arms for more of the poor's money the tempers will flare. General populations (including Romans) get easily misled but when they see their children starving, arms will be raised. Education has been a serious downfall of the entire world (not just in America); the rich who own the schoolings for the poor and always will, have insisted we bend to the lowest common denominator. What this means in real terms is children are being taught the same (information and methods) used on less intelligent members. Anyone of an intelligence level high enough to think for themselves can see where the generation of Leave No Idiot Behind is going. So what we have is an oppressed mass of people too stupid to think for themselves...and now they can own semi-automatic weapons. Revolution is coming and it will not be fun or peaceful. Rome's fall was not peaceful. It was bloody and very long. The country even today bears the scars of fearful men and women.
So we print money to save everything around us from collapsing. We adjust our debts to our liking, (I tried this with a credit card and they would not let me...in fact they hung up on me), we get full on the high cost of free money. Free money with no backing. Gold fell and when it did took our lush back droppings of checks and balances with it. Now we create money based on a few wealthy men and women's interest. A nice way to keep people in their place is to value a coin so they can buy a shiny new gadget while you grow more and more impoverished without noticing. It has always worked in history. Rome built nice sculptures and churches to keep her people happy, America built the iPhone. Of course that would have worked great if we actually built the 300 million after the first but we outsource everything we could produce. So we produce almost nothing and consume almost everything. This is Rome circa 500. Our currency is a little better then the Euro since we only answer to our mistakes and not anyone else’s, but then again our country has done a fine job destroying itself by itself. Our currency will buy you a shiny new piece of nothing as long as you do not ask questions.
Wars have always been generated by a few people who stand to gain off the backs of the fighters. The war on a verb started when a group of fat cats started talking about controlling oil supplies. I am sure KBR being Dick's daughter company had nothing to do with them controlling everything that happened in Iraq. I am sure American soldiers were just too stupid to build anything for themselves. Wait a second I was an American soldier in Iraq in 2004 and we built EVERYTHING ourselves. When I was an American soldier in Iraq in 2007 we were not even allowed to clean our own camps. What happened in three years? KBR wanted a bigger piece of your money. Any soldier saying they never had to deal with KBR between 2006-present is a liar. They control all of the movements, supplies and camp layouts in the country. When generals start saying your commander in chief has no idea what the hell is going on, take it as a big indication that maybe he does not. Rome did a bit of invading in her last years and all of it was to try to control a resource all the while blanketing it as Empire growth. Sound familiar? The next time you think a war on a verb is a wonderful idea think about what you are saying. A high school bully is a terrorist by definition, do I send in the United States Army and shoot him? I should if war was declared. I believe the carpet bombed Japan would agree. The good news is with no child left behind we forgot to teach our children (now voters) it still takes congress to declare WAR and the executive branch can only entangle us into a disgracefully long policing action. War sounds better in speeches though.
The constitution of this country has been molested enough to make anything legal and if you have the tongue of a serpent you can twist the words into anything. Right to bear arms....sure in an organized recognized militia. Freedom of the press, until it has disregard for personal privacy....etc. That is the foundation the men that stood and signed wanted. They died for it. They willingly signed a death warrant for freedom. Not this corruption. Actual freedom. The United States was a beacon of hope that one day you could work your butt off and own a piece of this country and raise your children without fear of getting shot by a rioting populace. That is ending and almost ended completely.
This is not fear propaganda. I really hope it turns around. I shed blood for this nation and lost friends to the lies we all believe. I want the country to live and breathe again. We are so close to collapse that with luck lessons will finally be learned and listened to. These are my points of view, you can agree or disagree but chances are if you read to this point you agree.
Thank you for reading and also thank you for this website. I read all the topics and find it an eye opening experience.
