When, in the course of time, there was an empire that was different, all were glad. All that were tyrants, that is.
Back there, far back, there is a cooing sound...do you hear it? It is beautiful (so they say) humming cooing power. You have to want to feel it; that's the thing, you have to
want to feel it. Really bad. Bad oh yes worse than bad.
These are sad times indeed, for they are Caesar's times. We have the Machiavellian dream for overlords, and I suppose some would say, we should be so lucky to have such overlords, in these perilous times. Well, I don't know. I would beg (on knees of course, Caesar) to differ.
They had their senate; we have ours. Caesar pretty much disabanded his, proclaimed himself emperor...you know the story. A family purchase, of a nation. An empire. You do have to ask yourself the question of (imposed) heredity rule over the U.S., care of - well, yes, you guessed it, the Bush family. Jeb in line may not be a question; it may be a certainty, like summer's heat...Caesar disbanded his senate and that was that (yes, they still met but they were a neutered senate with zero ballsacks post-Caesar). In the last 2 days we've heard about the FBI searching a congressman's office, and how that is unprecedented in America's history. Let me repeat that: unprecedented. It's heavy shit. The heavist, most cumbersome shit.
Turn it over in your mind. Caesar. Rome. America. Bush. Easy. Remember this always always: in human history, every tyrant/despot/king/emperor/president/prime minister/queen (well, if not every one of those, a hell of a lot of 'em) burns with a singular lust that, when it drips, drips dreams of you - yes, you reading this, and me, and every "subject" in the kingdom, whatever kingdom you choose, including one called America. What does this age offer that no other age has ever? The bountiful gifts of advanced technology. Unsurpassed surveillance, for said watching of said subjects. To make a revolution-proof system. The first in the history of this beleaguered, battered old world.
I do not want to think of what's coming. I say, extrapolate from Rome, x3. That is, think of Rome's rise and fall and multiply by 3, and you will get a compressed number, a hyper-number for a hyper-empire. Ours, or. Yes.
In Rome, it was always: republic or empire? Passion burned on both sides. In the new Rome, which will win?
