THE RISE OF "STRATEGIC AMBIGUITY" & The Decline Of Civics
"THESE INSTRUCTIONS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN OMITTED FROM THE PARENTAL MESSAGES OF A YOUTHFUL ANGLO SAXON. HIS HISTORIC RECORD WILL SHOW THAT HE WAS A PILLAGER."
My parents made me to understand that “by the sweat of thy brow thou shall eat bread.” (in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; (Genesis 3:19).
To me it meant that I have not only to depend upon my own abilities, but also to refrain from being a thief. “Do not steal or attempt to deprive others of the fruits of their labor; “Work honestly for a living’ and “do unto others—as you would have them do unto you.” (Luke 6:31).
These instructions seem to have been omitted from the parental messages of a youthful Anglo Saxon.? His historic record will show that he was a pillager. His preference was to go into the village and show his antisocial proclivities. Claiming ownership of whatever he can acquire through the use of force, intimidation or murder.?? These two examples describe (1) a villager: someone who wishes to live with a social compact, and (2) a pillager: someone who prefers to take by cunning.? Are we witnessing here the beginnings of socialism and capitalism? The irony will be unavoidable….
?civics:
The study of the rights and duties of citizenship; the study of subjects, related to social-science
Joe Biden said the U.S. maintains the One China agreement and he does not have plans to change it.”
What is the 'One China' policy?
It is the diplomatic acknowledgement of China's position that there is only one Chinese government. Under the policy, the US recognises and has formal ties with China rather than the island of Taiwan, which China sees as a breakaway province to be unified with the mainland one day.
The One China policy is a key cornerstone of Sino-US relations. It is also a fundamental bedrock of Chinese policy-making and diplomacy ??
Taiwan is not recognised as an independent country by much of the world nor even the United Nations.
Joe Biden again says US forces would defend Taiwan from Chinese Forces
He made it sound like a complex mathematical formula, citing: “the one-China policy”
IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WE HAVE SEEN THESE EUROPEAN SETTLERS RENEGING AND OR VIOLATING THEIR TREATIES WITH THE INDIANS, SO MUCH SO THAT THE INDIANS HAVE COINED THE PHRASE, NOW MADE FAMOUS, "WHITE MAN SPEAKS WITH FORK TONGUE.”

Excerpts from “IRONY”:
?????? These pagan conquerors were eventually converted to Christianity by St. Augustine’s mission from Rome at the end of the sixth century. Thus, the Catholic Church – of Rome – initiated the Romanization of the Jutes, Angles and Saxons whom we now call Anglo Saxons.
?The Western World saw Rome as the first super power. Rome’s powerful military forces were very ruthless in the beginning and expanded through invasions and occupations. After the Punic Wars (146 BC) and the destruction of Carthage, the Roman Emperor Augustus (27 B C – 14 AD), adopted a new policy to assimilate the people of North Africa. Augustus built a very sophisticated city – far from the center of Rome called Timgad. In this ancient North African city, we may find some answers to how Rome was able to maintain and rule its vast empire and enable its citizens to becoming empowered.
Did you know that Rome had emperors who were Negros? Septimius Severus,11 April AD 145 – 4 February AD 21l, also known as Severus, was Roman emperor from 193 to 211. Severus was born in Leptis Magna in the Roman province of Africa. As a young man he advanced through the Cursus honorum—the customary succession of offices—under the reigns of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus.[7]
The Emperor Caracalla: (4 April AD 188 – 8 April AD 217), Roman emperor (AD 198–217). The eldest son of Septimius Severus, Caracalla reigned jointly with his father from 198 until Severus' death in 211.[8]
History records support the notion Rome wished to co-exist with the nation it conquered, with a statue that portrays the figure of an African couple dressed in Roman garments and above the couple the figure of Roman God Saturnus stands between the sun and moon. The sun and moon were worshiped in the region before the Romans came, and Rome wished to show its desire to integrate with the culture and not?? impose its own tradition as it had done in the past.? We can see here that Rome had learnt and was acting out and moving forward from the lessons of past conquest.
?????? “There is a deep strain of violence which has permeated Western Civilization and it has existed from the birth of the West.?? Only the West has made war on such a grand scale...all over the world and with unmatched destructiveness.”
After the decline of Rome’s imperial power, the influx of the Eastern Germanic tribes (barbarians) took and ruled the lands once held by Rome (the Western Empire fell, AD 476, ushering the Dark Ages).? These Barbarians were known as Angles, Saxons and Jutes, who hailed from Northern Germany and Denmark. In time, the Barbarians came of age with his religion, laws, and system of governance. Despite his appreciation of philosophy, art and other sophistry, and despite his writings on the rights of man, he has not lost his primal instinct for barbarity.
F. Roy Willis, Professor of History University of California wrote in the International World History Project, on The Germanic Tribes, and Huns, “There is a deep strain of violence which has permeated Western Civilization and it has existed from the birth of the West.?? Only the West has made war on such a grand scale...all over the world and with unmatched destructiveness.” He noted, though Western Civilization was born from war and has lived and thrived by war in order for it to survive it now must abandon total war. [9]
The history of the arrival of the Anglo-Saxon on the world stage provides us with an array of vexing conclusions.
While France retained original inhabitance, who became Romanized and outnumbered the invading Franks, the situation was quite different in England. The Barbarians expelled most of the indigenous Celts to Wales, Cornwall, and Scotland in the far western regions of the British Isles. These invaders gave scant attention or virtually ignored most of the Roman achievements already in place.? They introduced a Germanic tribal system of governance and discarded the Roman laws. These pagan conquerors were eventually converted to Christianity by St. Augustine’s mission from Rome at the end of the sixth century. Thus, the Catholic Church – of Rome – initiated the Romanization of the Jutes, Angles and Saxons whom we now call Anglo Saxons.
?The Roman historian Tacitus (56 – 126 A.D.) wrote about the early German tribes who flowed into Europe during the first and second centuries A.D. The most significant of these early German tribes -to name a few - are the Chatti who were ancestors of the modern Hessians, the Treveri, Tungu, and Alammanni.? Chatti means “to breakdown by violence and to make afraid or terrify.”
These German ancestors were called Assyrian Chatti and had lived mostly in Asia Minor before they began migration to the area, where they remained in constant conflict with the Romans who called them “war men,” hence the name “Germani.”??…
James McCabe, the author of History of the World wrote that the Assyrians were a “fierce, treacherous race”, who took “delight in the dangers of the chase in war” He also noted that they were regarded with suspicion by their neighbors because of this characteristic and the fact that “they never kept faith when it was to their interest to break treaties.”
The historian Jerome who was born in A.D. 340 is said to have been quoting from Psalm 83:8 when he wrote of the Assyrian migration. He did so because it happened during his lifetime. This flood of Germanic tribes into central Europe, laid the path for the old Assyrian empire “to again rise for world domination.”
In case some of you don’t know about the dominance of the Assyrian empire, let me refresh your memory.
The Assyrian invasion into Hezekiah’s Judah in 701 BC is well documented in the bible and in archaeology. Sennacherib the Assyrian King conducted the siege of Jerusalem. This siege is documented in three books of the bible, 2ND Kings, 2ND Chronicles, and Isaiah.[10]
