“Plunderers of the world, when nothing remains in lands where they have laid waste by wanton thievery, they search out across the seas. The wealth of another region excites their greed; and if it is weak, their lust for power as well. Nothing from the rising to the setting of the sun is enough for them. Only they are compelled to attack the poor as well as the rich. Robbery, rape, and slaughter they falsely call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace.”
Tacitus
“How are the mighty fallen, and their weapons of war destroyed.”
2 Samuel 1:27
Amazing how much things have changed, and how little they actually have once we strip away technology.
Instead of city criers, we get MSM liars, my guess is there isn’t much difference, other than a couple of thousands of years, between the two.
