When Caligula declared his horse Incitatus a Roman Senator did that give pause to some proportion of the Roman citizenry.\u00a0 Did they think, \u201cIs this still Rome?\u201d<\/p>\n
I have to say that is how I currently feel, \u201cIs this still America?\u201d\u00a0 Just look around at the madness that has enveloped almost every facet of life.\u00a0 I won\u2019t bother naming them again.\u00a0 It\u2019s too repetitive and depressing.\u00a0 You can fill in the blanks.\u00a0 But concisely, if someone like Joe Biden is the President then ask yourself, \u201cIs this Still America?\u201d<\/p>\n
A lifelong political grifter whose drug addled son acts as a bag man to shake down foreign governments for kickbacks.\u00a0 A man who can no longer make a coherent speech about the simplest things.\u00a0 A man who has been lying about himself and his motives for decades and someone who can\u2019t keep his hands off of women and even young girls even when the cameras are rolling.\u00a0 If this man is the President of the United States is this still the same country we knew?<\/p>\n
The answer is no, it\u2019s not.\u00a0 In the same way that the Roman Empire wasn\u2019t the Roman Republic.\u00a0 It was a gangster state, an oligarchy that used a once free people as conscript troops to rule a continental empire.\u00a0 And that\u2019s where we are now.\u00a0 An oligarchy rules over us and you and I have about as much say over it as some plebian would have telling Caligula to leave his daughter alone.\u00a0 We are a despised and unwelcome people.\u00a0 The only thing we\u2019re needed for is an army.\u00a0 Soon foreign conscripts will be installed in the army and then they can disarm and enslave us at their leisure.\u00a0 We are strangers in our own land and we are being dealt with as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
The only question worth asking at this point is whether it\u2019s already too late to do anything other than leave.\u00a0 And even leaving is questionable.\u00a0 For this empire isn\u2019t continental, it\u2019s global.\u00a0 Sure, Russia and China are on the outside, sort of, and the really backward nations are client states that only supply sweatshops and immigrants.\u00a0 But the places you can go to escape this mess aren\u2019t certain to last.\u00a0 How many places can\u2019t be pressured or bribed to bend the knee.\u00a0 Recently we found out one of those places is Afghanistan.\u00a0 But imagine living there?\u00a0 That\u2019s how far you would have to go to escape the Empire.<\/p>\n
The hopeful thing is that the Empire seems to have skipped several stages in the familiar evolution.\u00a0 We seem to be progressing rather quickly from Late Republic to Visigothic sack all in a day.\u00a0 After all Joe Biden isn\u2019t Augustus.\u00a0 He\u2019s not even Tiberius.\u00a0 Dementia Joe is more like a 4th<\/sup> century emperor who has to dodge marauding armies of barbarians while avoiding assassination by his successor.\u00a0 The only question is whether there is enough left in the treasure chamber to pay off the Huns for a few more years.<\/p>\n After that we\u2019ll be looking at a new world.\u00a0 And that will be an exciting and frightening thing.\u00a0 Looking for a stable and safe refuge will be an important and difficult task.\u00a0 Eastern Europe?\u00a0 East Asia?\u00a0 South America?\u00a0 Maybe even a rump America somewhere in the red states?\u00a0 It\u2019s impossible to say.<\/p>\n I guess there\u2019s some consolation in knowing that the traitors who destroyed our country have slit their own throats at the same time.\u00a0 No groundswell of brave volunteers will enlist and save Creepy Uncle Joe when he bungles his way into a war with Iran or North Korea.\u00a0 All he\u2019ll have at his back will be the praetorian guard, or in his case the FBI.\u00a0 But when the going really gets rough they\u2019ll sell him out to the highest bidder.\u00a0 Then Jeff Bezos can be emperor for a few weeks until a real general comes along and makes mincemeat of the Amazon Kid.<\/p>\n So, get ready to enjoy the ride it\u2019s bound to be bumpy but I\u2019m beginning to think it might be more interesting than some assumed.\u00a0 One thing that might be worth considering, when the marauders overrun the country, it might be worthwhile finding out what their terms of service look like.\u00a0 It might give you an opportunity for some payback.\u00a0 Who knows, you could end up as the warlord of Silicon Valley.\u00a0 They definitely wouldn\u2019t be de-platforming you <\/u>anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When Caligula declared his horse Incitatus a Roman Senator did that give pause to some proportion of the Roman citizenry.\u00a0 Did they think, \u201cIs this<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[1626,2856,2816],"class_list":["post-15565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","tag-american-empire","tag-dementia-joe","tag-post-america"],"yoast_head":"\n
