The Truth about the Colonization in the Americas

By the way, slaves in Rome were not Africans… They were in their majority Roman citizens and clients who could not afford the reimbursement of their debts to their creditors. They were freed after working for their creditors to reimburse their debts… The concept of a racialized slavery is a recent fabrication of the 16th-19th centuries to colonize Americas…

Quietus was an African Prince who became a Roman General with very extraordinary skills, talents and competencies in conducting wars that helped to shape almost all critical military campaigns and victories of Trajan… The reason why Trajan made him not only his Deputy among his Generals but also a Senator and finally the Governor of Judea, which has become Israel and the Palestinian territory today that was then Samaria…

 

 

Roman provinces under Trajan rule

To better understand the context of the Rome Empire under the rule of Trajan, it is essential to notice that Rome was at that time, not only at its apogee but also at its greatest territorial size.

Be the Solution

The past, for example, is filled with repeating cycles of strength and weakness, wisdom and stupidity, empire and ashes. To study history is to study humanity. And to try to foretell the future without studying history is like trying to learn to read without bothering to learn the alphabet.

 

 

 The lies that people have to tell themselves when they either quietly or joyfully watch their neighbors mined, spirited away, killed. Different versions of this horror have happened again and again in history.

 

 They’re still happening in places like Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo and East Timor, Israel  wherever one group of people permits its leaders to convince them that for their own protection, for the safety of their families and the security of their country, they must get their enemies, those alien others who until now were their neighbors.

 

 

 I don’t believe we can do anything at all without side effects — also known as unintended consequences. Those consequences may be beneficial or harmful.

The birth of NAZISM

How the Nazis Were Inspired by Jim Crow | HISTORY

 

 

Here’s are Prince’s exact words:

 

If so many of these countries around the world are incapable of governing themselves, it’s time for us to just put the imperial hat back on, to say, we’re going to govern those countries … ’cause enough is enough, we’re done being invaded. …

You can say that about pretty much all of Africa, they’re incapable of governing themselves.

 

Prince’s co-host Mark Serrano then warned him that listeners might hear his words and believe he means them: “People on the left are going to watch this,” said Serrano, “and they’re going to say, wait a minute, Erik Prince is talking about being a colonialist again.”

Prince responded: “Absolutely, yes.” He then added that he thought this was a great concept not just for Africa but also for Latin America.

 

Prince and Serrano either do not know or do not care that previous bouts of the European flavor of colonialism led to the  deaths of tens of millions of people around the world. Then in the 20th century, the ideology of colonialism gave birth to Nazism.

Appeals court rejects Trump's immunity claim in federal election interference case

Two con-men arrive at the capital city of an emperor who spends lavishly on clothing at the expense of state matters. Posing as weavers, they offer to supply him with magnificent clothes that are invisible to those who are stupid or incompetent. The emperor hires them, and they set up looms and go to work. A succession of officials, and then the emperor himself, visit them to check their progress. Each sees that the looms are empty but pretends otherwise to avoid being thought a fool.

 

Finally, the weavers report that the emperor's suit is finished. They mime dressing him and he sets off in a procession before the whole city. The townsfolk uncomfortably go along with the pretense, not wanting to appear inept or stupid, until a child blurts out that the emperor is wearing nothing at all. The people then realize that everyone has been fooled. Although startled, the emperor continues the procession, walking more proudly than ever.
