Oh really? The american people or at least most of them will go right along with it.
People like us and this author will be yelling from the rooftops, but we will be considered paranoid.
The movie Gladiator is so instructive. Graccus knew the situation well:
“Fear and wonder, a powerful combination.”
“I think he knows what Rome is. Rome is the mob. Conjure magic for them and they’ll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they’ll roar. The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the senate, it’s the sand of the coliseum. He’ll bring them death - and they will love him for it.”
These quotes are so germaine to our situation now. Just replace Rome with America.
The Rome analogy goes a long way. A couple hundred years of republic, a sudden explosion into world dominant power, then a series of strong men ruling with an iron fist, some well, some madly.
Stay armed my friend
