In the 4th century BC, the forces of the Roman Republic conquered all of central Italy. After the 48 years of war with the Samnites, victory for Rome came in 295 BC, increasing the Empire territory through Campania and Puglia. The forces of Rome were now very close to the Greek settlements of the Southern Peninsula.
The Roman Republic sent an emissary to the Spartan Greek colony of Taras, modern day Taranto in Puglia, in a peaceful effort to take over the Greek colony but it ended up very badly. Taras, by the way was named after son of Poseidon.
The Roman envoy arrived to Taras in formal togas in an attempt to impress the Greeks, but the Greeks thought they looked ridiculous and broke into fits of laughter. One of the Greeks, according to the historian Cassius Dio, shit (or shat or whatever floats your faeces!) all over the formal clothes of the chief envoy, Lucius Postimius Megellus, who promised the clothes would be washed in the blood of the Greek colony.
I think that it can be argued that the Greeks never bought into Romanisation despite their subjugation. Rather, over time the Greeks Hellenised the Romans despite defeat on the battlefield.
In the archaeological museum of Taranto the head of Heracles has been recreated and it is huge. Quite how the Romans managed to transport it to Rome is a feat in itself. Taranto today seems more proud of Magna Grecia than the Romans.
I was looking for a picture of the Taranto Heracles last night! Ammon Hillman classifies the Latin language as "fit for the mud-hut dwellers" that came up with it...
Very Interesting. I don't know when Fasces or the Phrygian cap first showed up - they may be symbols that existed long before their use by Rome - perhaps stolen from the Greeks. Their appearance on US seals, coins, and architecture - I think may have a more sinister meaning much like the satanic masonic symbols that are ever present. The Declaration of independence states: "......all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness".. which makes it clear that Liberty is bestowed by God and not governments. The use of the Phrygian cap (which is believed to have been given by slave owners/governments to individuals that had been granted their freedom from bondage and used to distinguish between those still enslaved) would be a poor symbol of freedom for a people that professed their Liberty was granted by God. What it suggest is that the Liberty granted the citizens or the newly formed entity was granted by an earthly source and is not an innate or inalienable right. Also the Fasces were carried by Lictors which were the private security of the nobility. Their presence on seals, within the chambers of government, and on our coins (1916 mercury dime) suggest to me that the US and its governments are the protectors of the real rulers.

What is happening right now with the border, fentanyl, etc. Not everything they put out is disinfo. I would not have posted it to you if I did not think it was important enough. Maybe read it first before commenting? Or take your AI on it if you want to save time. The question is, did he give this speech or not, and what about this for example:
"If you get on the website using key words to search, you will find out that a while ago comrade He Xin pointed out to the Hong Kong Business News during an interview that: “The U.S. has a shocking conspiracy.” According to what he had in hand, from September 27 to October 1, 1995, the Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev Foundation, funded by the United States, gathered 500 of the world’s most important statesmen, economic leaders and scientists, including George W. Bush (he was not the U.S. president at the time), the Baroness Thatcher, Tony Blair, Zbigniew Brzezinski, as well as George Soros, Bill Gates, futurist John Naisbitt, etc., all of the world’s most popular characters, in the San Francisco Fairmont hotel for a high-level roundtable conference, discussing problems about globalization and how to guide humanity to move forward into the 21st century. According to what He Xin had in hand, the outstanding people of the world in attendance thought that in the 21st century a mere 20 percent of the world’s population will be sufficient to maintain the world’s economy and prosperity, the other 80 percent or 4/5ths of the world’s population will be human garbage unable to produce new values. The people in attendance thought that this excess 80 percent population would be a trash population and “high-tech” means should be used to eliminate them gradually."
The question is= are we talking 100% BS here or are they informing us like they also do? If you throw it all away when you see the first line and then make up your mind= not smart, nor wise to do, and you know that!
Last time I wasted time here, bc that docu on BBC with those REAL witnesses with those nuke tests (all fake witnesses too?) and that new trial that is going on now? You also trow overboard like it was BS. Maybe look first before you think you already know. I see this mistake all the time... people get too wise ass smart for their own good and who knows if CIA is playing this card too and you wise men trow it all the time in the trash without any research on it. There are facts here that need open unbiased research. Not wise ego-idocray-thinking-we-know-it-all in a second. Save me some time here! Why do I even bother...
I feel that those monks in the past were extremely proficient at resisting epistemical-warfare, immune to propoganda. They themselves are dangerous in that dimension.
Did you ever read "Zen in the art of archery"? It's a short little book, quite good and did a very good job of teaching me a) what Zen is, and b), how to apply it. (I didn't go to an archery range, though, I chose instead the batting cage… It worked quite well.)
Oh my! Wow! No surprise, they will use the "freedom fighters " to bring us into further control. We just gotta stay in the light and only follow the true guiding Spirit
I did an loom of substacks app reading it to familiarize my FB following with it and your work, no Duke report in fb to link back to it seems... Keep up the great work.
I had to go through their vetting system of sorts, I had to pull some strings, raise a little hell, I got my account reinstated 3bdays later and I don't get censored anymore.
I sent ID, they sent links, none work... I had 2FA set up and I never get the texts... no one can tell me what number they send on (in case I inadvertently blocked it), so IDK
I know someone who's friends with the zuck... I have no valid id only a birth certificate. If you really want it back i could put in a good word for you. 😉
Your work brings to mind our slavery to fear and ignorance, I promise as a newborn I tried to teach my parents better wrapping them around my tiny fingers I patiently taught them to love slowly beginning to notice they were slow learners. My eyes later became dimmed by cataracts although just last night I could see the cold almost full moon move across my window panes! Where was I when that moon was hung and the table was set for reading your substack words today about empire and “liberty”⁉️TY🤗
This article brings to mind Balkanization, Yuri Bezmenov's "normalization," Spanish reductions, and spreading democracy, such as a free Syria, etcetera.
Have you heard the “I shit on your toga” story?

Did you find one? Here is a link to an article with a photo of the head in the museum foyer https://archeologiavocidalpassato.com/tag/dea-in-trono-a-berlino/
I found a good photo for the museum it is in, but it is cut out, so there's no reference for the size of the thing 🤦🏻♂️

I concur
Nothing new under the sun. Language is the first target for a takeover. It warps the mind.
Everything is a psyop until it goes kinetic.
💯
Your mind is conditioned from early on and to start realising that you are a slave to your mind is the beginning of wisdom.
”For I was conscious that I knew practically nothing..." (Plato account of Socrates, Apology 22d, translator by Harold North Fowler, 1966).
That’s a good start. Question your most inveterate beliefs.
In an epistemological war, all we have is metadata and a few principled methods to parse it.
@The Duke Report Have you read this one? https://jrnyquist.blog/2019/09/11/the-secret-speech-of-general-chi-haotian/ another big piece of the puzzle here, but how is the Power Elite so sure that these Chinese will not screw them over?

This post made me think of a "definition of Zen" that I came up with earlier, you may find it curious. https://x.com/im_yaanis/status/1631515918420287491?t=a2hiuoEjLTPVhoD1ODcUyA&s=19

Stupidly the UI is not allowing me to reply to my earlier post.
I guess I recommend summarizing this book and seeing what happens https://www.google.pt/books/edition/The_Way_of_Zen/FycOEAAAQBAJ?hl=en
Traditional four-phrase summary of Zen:
Outside teaching; apart from tradition.
Not founded on words and letters.
Pointing directly to the human mind.
Seeing into one's nature and attaining Buddhahood.
(Quote from that book)
