“I am pro-Sulla.” I’d have to say I’d be too now.

See it’s like this. When I came up with my FReephandle, there was still room to ward off the damage of the Incrementalist Marianettes (heh, heh). I wanted to avoid the need for Sulla.

I’d be interested in knowing who comes close to a Sulla? I’m even more sure the oligarchs want to know too, so don’t tell me of any candidates who you think might fill the position. Wouldn’t be healthy.

However, we don’t have generals who vie for the Consulship like the Romans did. What we have had is two terms of Marius lite (GWB) and now beginning two terms of Marius unleashed (Bummer), but neither of them ever served on the front lines. Fronts for the real powers as Plato told us the Sophists taught. They were both really and truly marionettes, and the number of people in denial of this remains astronomically high.

A personal insight that has stayed with me for 60 odd years. My grandfather in the 1950s would get angry after reading the news and say something like “Americans are so stupid that should a demagogue take how here he’d make Hitler look like a piker.”

Should a Sulla come along he’d be hung out to dry by all the Lilliputians surrounding him. TWANLOCs would kill our best chance because my grandfather was far to clear sighted.
