Warning From History

by Norm Beznoska Jr., Contributing Author: Two thousand years ago, Rome was the epicenter of the world. Rome was the.world's greatest power. Then it "ROTTED from within" by its' morally bankrupt, narcissistic, psychopath Emperors who gave "bread and circuses (welfare) and persecutions of Christians to Rome's ignorant masses" and it fell to foreign invaders in chaos and anarchy.

The following speech by renowned Roman Senator Marcus Tullius Cicero could have been given today on the floor of the US Senate:
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”Does this remind you of anyone?
