The Republic has Flatlined

The comparison of America to ancient Rome is routine for a few reasons. Western civilization and culture are largely an extension of ancient Roman civilization. Even our Judeo-Christian heritage was shaped by Rome with Emperor Constantine and the Council of Nicaea.  Specifically, the American republic is a reincarnation of the ancient Roman republic. Although, the ancient Roman influence was present throughout the Dark Ages and Middle Ages, the Italian Renaissance created a cultural identification with the ancient Roman republic and inspired classical education for centuries in Western Europe.

The Italian Renaissance was the epitome of Charles Dicken’s immortal words “it was the best of times; it was the worst of times”. An age of enlightenment that produced Michele Angelo and Leonardo Davinci, and city state republics creating a short lived new golden age (i.e. Renaissance) in Italy that riveled that of ancient Greece. It also produced Machiavelli’s The Prince and was marked by constant violence and assassinations.

This rebirth of civilization tapped into an energy that laid dormant for a thousand years. The Romans had three distinct political periods. The kings, the republic, and then of course, the empire. The American founding fathers modeled the American republic after the Roman republic and started an experiment that changed the world. The Roman republic lasted approximately 450 years. That is uncommon. The truth is that most republics don’t last that long. The elected representatives’ degree of corruption usually reaches a boiling point, which leads to a dictatorship.

When Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon, he was cheered as he was actually rescuing the citizens from the tyranny of the senators, as their level of corruption and oppression reached a pain threshold that could no longer be endured. The Roman senators were the technocrats of the age. The senate’s brutal assassination of Julius Caesar was arguably not to save the republic, it was to save the gravy train. Civil war followed and then Rome had an emperor Augustus and pax Romana began a new golden age for Rome.

This pattern of republics becoming corrupt and failing is maybe best exemplified by Poland. In the late 1700s Poland’s republic, weakened after civil conflict, had became so corrupt that its legislators gradually sold off partitions of the country to Russia, Prussia, and Austria, and eventually, the country ceased to exist. This was partly due to corruption and partly due to intimidation. Napoleon attempted to create a Polish area of self government, and there was another brief attempt, but essentially, Poland was not a sovereign state again until it was reinstated after World War I in the early 20th century.  

America’s republican roots run deeper than Rome. They actually trace back to the Etruscans. The Etruscans were considered the holy people of the ancient world. Unique from all other cultures, the Etruscans prophesized and knew their distinct culture would only last a thousand years. Although, it did not actually die, as much of it was absorbed by Roman culture. The original twelve cities were on hilltops spreading across northern central Italy from coast to coast. The cities were originally ruled by the Lucumo, the god king. The Lucumoni eventually waned in power and were replaced by oligarchies with elements of early republics that sprung up among the city states. It is thought that the Roman senate originated as advisors to Etruscan kings.

Etruscan culture was decentralized, however, and the cities were a confederacy. The fasces, made up of twelve rods and a double headed ax, represented the twelve original cities. This symbol was later bastardized by 20th century fascists. Arguably Etruria was the most advanced civilization at the time. The Etruscans were so wealthy that their slaves owned property and operated businesses and woman had more equal rights and could own property. The next time you go out to dinner with another couple, recognize that this tradition started with the Etruscans. As a navel power the Etruscans riveled ancient Greece and the Phoenicians.

The wealth and power that accumulated in Etruria may be partly credited to its decentralized confederacy and open society. In fact, this distribution of power was evident in Etruscan cosmology, Tinia, the Etruscan equivalent to Jupiter Optimus Maximus and Zeus, had to consult with his committee of gods before striking you dead with a thunderbolt. Due process. An interesting concept. Although fierce in combat, it has also been argued that the Etruscans were too decentralized, and this hampered military coordination. The original American articles of confederacy may have resembled the Etruscan system more so than the Romans. This thinking that too much decentralization leads to weakness from external threats led to the U.S. Constitution and the creation of a more centralized system.

Caveat. The more centralized system of government envisioned by the American founding fathers is nothing like we see today. It is safe to say that if General Washington were alive today, he would have formed a continental army and replaced our current government in the past two and a half years.

Centralization and decentralization of power is a recurrent theme in politics. The truth is that the correct balance may change with each age. The greatest argument for more centralization of power is enhanced coordination. This argument falls flat in the current technological age. Increased technological advancements enhance communication and coordination, and actually make a strong case for enhanced decentralization, as it is becoming very clear that technological advancement and centralization are two ingredients necessary for totalitarianism.

The truth is that the old republic died in 1913 to a great degree with the formation of the Federal Reserve and the creation of the income tax. This disintegration occurred throughout the 20th century and accelerated in the post WWII world. A major breakthrough in the erosion of the American republic occurred in the 2000 election when Bush and Gore did a dog and pony show with the butterfly ballot scam in order to usher in an age of computerized voting. The 911 police state apparatus further disintegrated the remaining semblance of the republic, which was obliterated with the Covid response and the fake 2020 election.

The sad reality is that the republic has flatlined. In many ways it has been corrupted to the degree that Poland was when it was partitioned off. In our case our elected officials sold our republic off to a two tier deep state. Tier one is the bureaucratic apparatus that out lasts the politicians and the other tier is the shadow government controlled by an international criminal class that creates policy behind the scenes. This is driven by globalist organizations like the WEF, which are dictating U.S. policy to a great degree, and are attempting to enslave humanity before depopulating.

The question is, can it be resuscitated?

This would require a return to paper ballot elections. Busting up media monopolies and big tech companies. Taking over Republican and Democrat executive committees across the country, restoring sound money, eliminating the income tax, and securing borders. Yes, this means gutting the federal government. Banning the jab is also needed as is prosecuting members of government, pharmaceutical executives, along with hospital administrators and board members across the country, for their crimes against humanity, including murder, and conspiracy to commit murder.

The globalist technocrats are seeking to deconstruct human civilization. To resist the globalist technocrats of our age, there must also be a recalibration of the role of the federal government. In the past two and a half years, states’ rights have been turned on its head to mean states can become dictatorships. This is ludicrous as the only legitimate purpose of government, is to promote Natural Rights. The Ninth Amendment is a reservoir of all of you unstated Natural Rights rooted in our history and culture. The weaponization of the federal government has become complete with the creation of 87,000 armed IRS agents trained to kill, and with the Biden Administration’s open policy of criminalizing political opposition for the crime of wanting to Make America Great Again.

Imagine what they will want to do to those of us that also want to Make America Free Again?
