A lot of things caused us to get to the point we find ourselves in today. The worst part of it is, none of it is anything new! We are experiencing the methods refined through centuries of practise, and handed down for many generations. The anti-vaxxer movement, the police brutality, the confiscation of lands, the wealthy people's habit of ignoring human rights, all of it and more are something that goes back to the Roman empire and further.
For instance, the anti-vaxxer movement predates the revolutionary war. Smallpox was one of the most feared diseases in the 18th century. A high percentage of those infected died; many who survived were blinded or badly disfigured. Consequently, inoculation often encountered fear and opposition. Thomas Jefferson was an early advocate of smallpox inoculation. He traveled to Philadelphia at age 23 to undergo an inoculation. In many colonies the procedure was discouraged, and in some even outlawed. When the procedure was brought to Norfolk County, Virginia, in 1768 and again in 1769, it provoked riots on both occasions. Dr. Archibald Campbell, whose house had been burned as a result of the inoculations carried out there was defended by Thomas Jefferson, who then was practicing law. He had became involved when he agreed to defend victims of the Norfolk riots.
That is an example of how far back that tradition of opposition to vaccines go. That is nothing compaired to the desgusting tradition the Trump administration carries out. His methods go back a couple thousand years. As far as I can tell these methods of power got honed to a razor edge by the Roman Empire. Their campaigns of conquest, the enslavement of whole populations and their brutal disregard for human life has been carried on to this very day.
Look what was done to the people of Britannia. When the Roman armies of conquest plowed a trail of blood through those lands, they came with a smile and a gift. Comply and they would provide so-called protection. Defy them, and they would provide a blood letting. They would provide loans of gold, or other things. Then call in those loans at the worst possible time. If the people couldn't pay up, the payment was extracted by enslavement. Keep the Romans happy in their enjoyment of blood sport in the arenas in Rome by handing over their youth. If the persons were not handed over, the Romans took them at the point of a sword.
Examine Boudica, the warrior Queen of the Iceni. Boudica's husband Prasutagus ruled as a nominally independent ally of Rome and left his kingdom jointly to his daughters and the Roman emperor in his will. However, when he died, his will was ignored, and the kingdom was annexed. According to Tacitus, Boudica was publicly flogged and her daughters raped. Because of that outrage, Boudica led the Iceni, the Trinovantes, and others in revolt. They destroyed Camulodunum (modern Colchester), earlier the capital of the Trinovantes but at that time a colonia, a settlement for discharged Roman soldiers and site of a temple to the former Emperor Claudius. Boudica then led 100,000 Iceni, Trinovantes, and others to fight Legio IX Hispana, and burned and destroyed Londinium and Verulamium (modern-day St Albans). An estimated 70,000–80,000 Romans and British were killed in the three cities by those led by Boudica. In the end she and her armies were defeated by the might of the Roman method.
Skip ahead a few centuries and we look at Sir William Wallace and King Edward I of England. Many people know the story of Braveheart, and the murder of his wife. Many people have seen the movie starring Mel Gibson who depicts him. This was another instance of the Roman method applied to a bloody conclusion.
In colonial America this method of enslavement was an integral cog in the machine of colonial conquest. We all know the fate of millions of Africans. Without regard for their personhood, they were kidnapped, transported across the Atlantic ocean, and put under the yoke of slavery. All in the name of profit, luxury and power for the few at the expense of the many. The Roman method at work.
Few people know it, but there were a great number of white slaves during those times. The African slave trade was only a part of the Roman way applied here. King James II and Charles I also led a continued effort to enslave the Irish. Britain’s famed Oliver Cromwell furthered this practice of dehumanizing one’s next door neighbor. Sound familiar?
The Irish slave trade began when 30,000 Irish prisoners were sold as slaves to the New World. The King James I Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.
Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white. During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.
Many people today will avoid calling the Irish slaves what they truly were: Slaves. They’ll come up with terms like “Indentured Servants” to describe what occurred to the Irish. However, in most cases from the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish slaves were nothing more than human cattle.
I have a good reason for going on about the Scottish and the Irish, all the descendants of the Celts. The reason is, Trump and his supporters. Look at the people who support Trump. You can see for yourself that the majority of them look to be from Celtic stock. So why in the hell would they support a man who employs the same barbaric tactics of the Roman method so skillfully employed to enslave and murder their ancestors? How about a heavy dose of cultural genocide? That might work to erase some memories. The British have a long history of cultural genocide, which was imported and used against the native inhabitants of the American continent as well.
The descendants of African slaves and native people at least remember the sickening plight of their ancestors. They need to keep on remembering, and fighting back too! In large part they, and to some lesser degree all the rest of us are still slaves, economic slaves. We all suffer under the Roman method.
Trump employs that method to horrific result. A case in point is the Aberdeen Golf Course he and his traitorous lackeys in government forced upon peaceful people there in Scotland. Look at the history of that event and you will see a striking similarity in method to the methods Trump employs today. A method I've described here in previous paragraphs, the Roman method. A total disregard for the rights of people who have been living there for many generations. The outright stealing of land, the lies, the brutality and government collusion, just like what happened all throughout the history of the Scottish people, starting with the Roman invasion.
Now we have this Trump as president. A person who employs all of the Roman method. View this film "You've Been Trumped" (2011) The Real Donald Trump - The Aberdeen, Scotland Golf Course and you will hear him say and do many of the things he says and does today. Calling people "pigs", dehumanizing people, lying and having a total disregard for other people and their way of life. He has fast tracked the Roman method in the first few days of his administration. The Republican and the Democratic party too employed the Roman method, but with Trump it has been put on steriods. Just like with the emperors of ancient Rome, King Edward I of England, King James II, Charles I, Oliver Cromwell, colonial America, southern slavery and Jim Crow, this method of enslavement and servitude is carried on.

I mentioned the Trump supporters apparently seeming to be largely from Celtic stock. Unlike the African descendants and the indigenous people of America, they have forgotten their past. That makes for a very dangerous situation. These descendants of slaves have fully given themselves over to the very people who enslave them. They have unwittingly bought into the lies and deceit lock, stock and barrel! It will all be to their detriment too! Remember Boudica, and the betrayal of the Iceni. Remember the betrayal of Sir William Wallace by his own people who were bought off with promises of power and wealth. Remember the betrayal of the people of Aberdeen by their own people in government because of empty promises made by Trump. You better remember it all, or you all will be damned, just like your celtic ancestors.
The people better wake up. This is serious in the extreme! We are witnessing the further enslavement of Humans by the Roman method. If these supporters of Trump do not come out of the fog of a forgotten past, one day they will wake up to their enslavement. I hope the people who remember the atrocities committed on their ancestors, and are still being committed against them will help to wake up these sleeping partners of the Roman method.
Shake them and wake them all up. Make them remember their terrible past. Also make them remember the retribution of the Visigoths led by King Alaric. The Romans treated the Visigoths very badly too! All Alaric really wanted was land on which his people could settle and an accepted place within the empire, which the authorities in Ravenna would not give him. Instead they would trade them dog meat in exchange or children to make into slaves. That led to the sacking of Rome. On August 24, 410, the Visigoths entered Rome, after starving the inhabitants under siege, through its Salarian Gate, according to some opened by treachery, according to others by want of food, and pillaged the city for three days. The mother country, and so called light of the world, was no more. Then ensued the long 500 years Dark Ages.
Wake up, you sons and daughters of slaves. WAKE UP, damn you, or be satisfied with the enslavement of your children and a portion of dog meat.
