If you look at news any given night you can see the reflections of the Roman Empire reflecting in our times . The signs are all there and the trumpets have began to play . Have we as a society forgotten the lessons of our past ? Have we allowed our problems to go on unchecked for two long to fix things ? Rome had a brilliant military and used it to police the known world . For generations no legion entered Rome to protect society from milatarianism . They knew the lesson we are now learning about a militarized police force . It led to the decay of community then as it is in our nation now .
Rome had an enormous homeless problem and a starving population . We only need to look at the foreclosure listings and laws being passed to prevent public sleeping to see the first half of this issue . The second half is evident in the amounts of working poor and jobless in this country .
Our nation's number one retailer and employer operated by the richest family in the land Walmart . They provide information and assistance filling out paperwork for public assistance with food, cost of living and health coverage for its employees . This is a fancy way of saying the richest people in the land have found a way to receive benefits set aside for the poorest . The funniest part of that problem is that most Americans concern themselves with the benefits the poorest receive and pay no mind to corporations and the rich leaching from the top . The Roman hierarchy call the working poor slaves .
We divide ourselves along religious lines in the only nation in the world founded on religious freedom . The Romans had this same problem with those darn Christian back in the day . Attacks on the christian faith forced it into an underground movement that conquered the world . After the integration of the Christian faith into Roman society politicians found a new weapon in organized religion . All religion is control of the faithful . It was and still is used as a business to collect funds to advance the faith . Money collected is not just used to support the faith and the needy . In the times of Rome and now its used to advance the politics of the Church as well . Entire legions and political factions were funded by the Roman Catholic church . This was done in return of granting the church authority over those who would be kings in conquered lands . Today we make war on those of other faith as an excuse to control global trade on oil based products . This can be seen in our efforts of funding Rebels to later call them terrorists and religious extremist and destroy them to establish order .
This practice has kept us fighting wars for a couple of decades . Rumors of false flags and inside jobs eventually become
The similarities in our societies provide grim outlook into our future if the path is not corrected . If you compare on time lines setting the pinnacle of our society at the industrial revolution, and the known height of Roman culture and expansion the decay matches . The overlapping corruption in our two party system is as destructive now as it was in the times of Romulus .
Just as our Emperor Obama he was plagued with ridicule and mockery with little ability to override the Senate . We sit at the ledge and blame the man with both hands tied behind his back by the bureaucrats . Half a nation cries he is doing nothing while the other half cries what do you expect ? Did we all forget what a lame duck is ? Our civil liberties are being slowly stolen away every political pay off . Our leaders concern themselves with the preservation and advancement of those who placed them in office . We fall for the distractions provided by Propagandist . We
This was the message of the Occupy Movement we ignored to avoid looking like hippies . We need to unite in that manner if we plan to stop the destruction of our Rome . I dont think its necessary but ill remind everyone anyway . After Rome we as a species fell into the Dark Ages .
