“Campus Chaos” Echoes Historical Lessons - - Year of the Six Roman Emperors – Public Safety is the Highest Law Not Free Speech--

The Safety of the People Shall Be the Highest Law

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Marcus Tullius Cicero

?

As one keen eyed journalist noted on her visit to the makeshift encampment on the Columbia University Campus

…that we are told was spontaneously created in this haphazard manner is that all the “tents” appeared to be of the same brand.

Using her deductive reasoning

A & B = C

That there is nothing spontaneous and disorganized about these eruptions of chaos, anarchy and civil disobedience that threaten others’ rights and the basis of public safety.

Follow the $$-Who is funding these Hate Fests in these once elite spaces?

Why is there such silence by Prez. Biden in the face of such a Moral Crisis?

?

The answers to these two questions explains everything about the many dimensions of the current Ivy League Protests that due to absence of check and balance of effective leadership have denigrated into a Domestic Terror Matter.

?

Yes- we treasure Free Speech as it is the foundational basis of a pluralistic society – the Spirit of the Great Enlightenment that forged the American Constitutional Republic

Yet- such liberties come with responsibilities and cannot be left unfettered to become the source of anarchy that harms Public Safety.

?

These protests find their acceleration during the tenure of the former President when his elite adversaries unleashed massive national protests in order to destabilizes his Administration.

?

Well-funded and organized with Dark Money they created a new level of criminal lawlessness that now has become the standard of the New Normal

While they achieved their objective of pushing #45 out of office

…..the template of this anarchy is now the successful recipe of political agitation used to influence policy and subvert the rights of their opposition

Congresswoman Omar and AOC praised the peaceful protest and encouraged further disruption of public safety

They are but figureheads of a Special Interest Leadership Class that have unleashed dynamics forces that once allowed to gain further and further influence in American Society become a state of mind that is difficult to nearly impossible to put under control.

History teaches valuable lessons.

There recently is this fascination with the Roman Empire as we attempt to correlate its history to our present society.

While a side by side comparison is not completely possible.

One lesson it does teach is when Mob Rule becomes the foundation of Societal Power

When those that operate at the extreme ends of the political perspectives and enforce their self interest of their agenda objectives; civil society deteriorates.

?

Pluralistic Societies require a majority moderate middle that relationally possess a shared vision of what they collectively believe, their mutual responsibilities and shared humanity as a defined national group.

?

This is the core of consciousness that maintains a health rhythm of life that perpetuates the vigor of society

Yet if that consciousness core is suppressed, systematically degraded and eliminated all the elements of the civil society falls away

Such is the story of Rome when Commodus became emperor at the end of second century. His poor leadership in a rapid period of time destroyed society.

Foreign wars, disruption of trade, inflation, political-tribal infighting, massive societal upheaval that were left unchecked

The Romans took for granted the mighty administrative state of this vast well-organized empire that was impervious to any threat.

It would right itself as the Pax Romana(27AD-190AD) –this period of two hundred years of prosperity became the expected quality of life.

Well ….the Time of Troubles began and things eroded

The concern of public safety due to the turmoil brought to power brutal military emperors that ruled with a large totalitarian thumb.

This killed off all the peacemakers in the middle and within a generation this once pluralistic society became one that was dominated in the leadership class as the survival of the fittest.?

Such primal Darwinian leadership was propped up by massive funding of the Praetorian Establishment –a select small cluster of special interests that behind the figurehead emperor—ruled the Roman State

Now two generations had passed since the Time of Trouble began with Emperor Commodus

The glory days of the Pax Romana was the nostalgic tale of a society that no longer existed

The Crisis of the Third Century came in 238 A.D. as the Roman Leadership Class was a mere shadow of its past glory.?

Upon Maximinus I death…Gordian I (22 days) followed by Gordian II (22 Days) then on to Pupienus (99 Days) ..next was Balbinus (99 Days and finally Gordian III

For the next forty year twenty two emperors would come to the throne with Silbannacus ruling only for several days before he was murdered

It would take Diocletian's assumption of the throne and his institutionalizing the Tetrarchy with two other co-emperors to stabilize Roman Society.

From the time of Commodus almost one hundred years of absolute terror and anarchy that rocked the Roman State to its core

Prospectively …its hundred years of chaos was a complete turnabout of the prior Pax Romana that was two hundred years in length

History teaches us a strong lesson here….

As we exist in the Post American Century Period for the last fifteen years that ended a period of little more than one hundred years of our own Pax Americana all of the same factors that paralyzed the Roman State have been unleashed into our society.

A failed Leadership Class that we saw on display this weekend in WDC as the Aid Package dollars will find their home in what Senator Rand Paul calls the greatest money laundering scheme in American History invested back into the American Military Industrial Complex and into the portfolios of those who voted.

A Rule of Law System under stress with new precedents that threaten the validity of our Constitutional Rights of Sovereign Wealth.

The NYC- James- Trump Case and now this “reach and apply” forced taking of TIKTOK that are all done in the light of day and not in smokey backrooms demonstrates a naked abrogation of fundamental rights that have been established for centuries

Yet these are passive events compared to the mightiest of challenges that we observe in the silence of the Leadership to Hatred in the form of Free Speech targeting our minority Jewish Citizens

Still worse endangering Public Safety and promoting more pernicious criminal activity.

The silence by the Leadership Class is deafening and their ignorance of history and how such forces can bring to its knees even the greatest empire that ruled the earth. ?

This WOKE Anti American Civilization Culture threaten to just like during the Pax Romana diminish both the quality of life in our society but to weaken American Resolve on the international scene.

The underlying battle here is for unilateral power and both sides appear willing to destroy our society in the process.

Jewish Hatred is a powerful symbol of the mental illness that the WOKE Culture has acculturated into a generation of our children.

While the Right would like to blame George Soros for everything

…..the hidden truth is this---

There is an insidious well-funded effort to penetrate the American Psyche to create this type of chaos that disrupts public safety all in the name of Free Speech.

This is not the challenge here….

The Failed Leadership Class so focuses on self-enrichment who foolishly believe that they can escape to their cloistered compounds

During this sacred week of Passover…for our Jewish Brothers and Sisters we are having our own version of a New Century American Kristallnacht

As Biden-Trump- Congress-Fortune 500-University Intellectuals all are silent as a seminal moment is passing right before our eyes.

Our comfortable society just like the Pax Romana is not guaranteed to last into perpetuity

….but like a fruitful garden must be tended, weeded, watered and loved to bring forth its bountiful beauty

Next time you see one of your WDC elected officials give them a piece of your mind for they are weaken the societal fabric that was once called the American Dream

While I am not so na?ve to think that it is just that simple

The lesson of history tells me how accurate my perceptions are

Cicero is correct….

Public Safety is the highest law and those that create harm in our society need to be held responsible.

Silence is acceptance....

That may very well be the biggest harm of all.
