I'm going to post a small series of literary works you should read if you haven't already. Because the people who wish to control and enslave and possibly be rid of you, certainly have.

And if it has been a long time since you read them it would probably be a good idea to read them again. You can rest assured that everyone in a seat of power, public or not, has studied "The Prince". This is one book that is in the Globalists' bookshelf and composes their collective "bible".

Know Thy Enemy: Ephesians 6:11-12

Ephesians 6:11–12

11: Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

I have read The Prince twice - once when required for a college course and again when I wanted to. So I just do not understand why Niccolo is considered a bad guy when he very clearly identifies human behavior and what a "prince" or any other top feudal ruler must do to remain in power.

Note that its all in the context of feudalism not a republic.

Niccolo identifies that a successful ruler generally does things that lead to the success of the principality. And that usually involves letting people do what they want. Rule by menace or despotism is not a long-term policy as ultimately the mob will support a usurper.

So pegging Machiavelli as some evil demon is lazy and inaccurate.

I’m sure there are folks on here who do things besides nit-picking, grammar NAZIs, and create circular firing squads. lol. But maybe I’m being hopeful and not realistic. I can’t post a damn thing on here without someone trying pick it apart. And we wonder why the globalist communists are running right through us. I do welcome criticism or other takes but so far i’ve been accused of attacking the author, which i clearly never did. And it would appear the other person didn’t even bother to read the first chapter of the work. smdh

My favorite piece of knowledge from and advice for others is “if you take on the king better take him out”

I have a very old copy of “the Prince” in my library.

It was not an Evil Book.

The Communist Democrats who are gleefully attempting to destroy our nation ARE EVIL!

It is up to US. To end it. It will not be stopped from DC.

It must start at the State Level. I believe that is already underway in a few places.

It’s not just for globalists. It’s for anybody that wants power for the sake of power. And technically even people that want power to accomplish something. It is a guide to acquisition and wielding of power.
