1. Everyone should read Lee Smith’s excellent piece ‘The Thirty Tyrants’.

Lee uses the Spartan imposed oligarchy on Athens in 404 BC, to explain the current oligarchy in America.

Lee’s comparison between Sparta and China is clever, although I disagree in two areas.

2. Firstly, the Athenian oligarchy was NOT friendly. Much like the Biden junta, it was insanely corrupt, coercive and (as is coming) violent.

Second, the oligarchy in America is not new. It has been around for DECADES.

Trump exposed it for all to see.

And the CCP did not impose it. This oligarchy is organic, home grown, ‘Made in USA’.
3. The American oligarchy is in fact one elite caste.

The defining feature of it is GREED.

A group of individuals, organizations and institutions that exists to sustain, protect and extend their own WEALTH, above all.

And that DESPISES the serf class, aka the deplorables.

This American caste needs power to achieve its objectives. Anyone who threatens that power is destroyed.

It also needs COVER. That cover is (or was) the illusion of a Constitution, a Republic and a free and fair vote.

4. POTUS Trump BLEW their cover.

And threatened their wealth.

But he didn’t manage to take their power away, fully. The Swamp still functioned.

However, a second Trump term would have finished them off.

They HAD to get back the Oval Office and Congress, or they were going to be in real trouble.

The ONLY solution was to steal ten election, which they did - BADLY.

Exposing them even more.

Be in no doubt.

5. These crooks are TERRIFIED. They know full well that tens of millions (IMO 90+ million) of furious Americans know exactly what’s going on.

And that unlike the Athenian demos, tens of millions of said furious Americans have, shall we say, ‘the tools to defend themselves’.

Illegitimate and despised, like the Athenian oligarchs, these American versions will have no option but to use coercion, intimidation & violence, to remain in power.

6. Just my view but the key objective of these awful people will be to DISARM the population.

This will be priority #1.

Watch - they will either create a pretext to do it, or goad a citizen to (stupidly) take up arms and do something foolish.

You can see these despicable individuals deliberately trying to provoke a reaction, right now.

They will use it, to take away 2nd amendment rights from every American citizen.

It is therefore VERY important that no one falls into their trap.
6. As long as Americans can defend themselves and have the ability to assemble, the power of the oligarchy to assume total control is checked.

There’s another lesson to be gained from The 30 Tyrants. While their reign was violent, frightening and corrupt, it was short lived.

First, the moderate oligarchs who wanted to extend power to 5,000 upper class citizens, started fighting with the more extreme oligarchs (who wanted to keep power to 30).

7. Second, they ran out of money and started looting money from Athenian citizens, to pay for their mad schemes and adventures.

And to line their own pockets.

Anyone who didn’t cough up was exiled or executed.

But the more violent their regime became, the more opposition the 30 Tyrants faced.

Eventually they were taken down by a violent hoplite uprising in 403 BC, led by a group of exiles and commanded by a senior naval officer.
8. Their GREED destroyed them in the end.

They destroyed themselves, in ONE YEAR.

There are many lessons to be drawn here, that bode badly for Biden & Co on their current trajectory.

Unlike the Athenian crooks, the American oligarchs don’t have the advantage of an unarmed and unaware / sleeping population.

The smart play is to be patient, bribe the population and essentially, to put them to sleep.

The dumbest of all dumb plays is to provoke such a population.

9. If the unthinkable happened and kinetic action started, the American oligarchs could very well LOSE.

They would certainly lose much of their wealth, which these greedy crooks cover the most.

But they could lose everything else, too.

But let’s assume that their plan to provoke violence fails (it is at the moment).

My prediction is historically proven - they will collapse. Their greed will be their undoing.

The collapse is inevitable. And may happen far sooner than any of us think.

10. So take heart, folks.

It is bad at the moment.

VERY bad.

Right now, America is controlled by an illegitimate oligarchy, that thinks it is untouchable.

But then again, so did the 30 Tyrants in Athens.

Before they destroyed themselves, and Athens was liberated.

#MAGA

The end.

Cool. I had been wondering what debauched society we most resembled. Will give a read.

That is a very well written and compelling piece of writing.
Thank you for sharing
