For as long as I can remember, people have predicted the imminent Fall of America, comparing current events to the Fall of the Roman Empire. But I never credited it much, since the Roman Empire was falling for centuries, taking longer to clear itself off the world’s stage than America has even been hanging around bothering everybody.

But I’ve been thinking more about Falls recently. We sure seem to be on a civilizational speedway bypass of some kind, racing past the Romans going about 90 mph.

For example, I wonder whether the Emperor ever tried defunding the Roman Police Departments in Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, and the Empire’s other big cities? I wonder whether the Empire deliberately knocked down parts of Hadrian’s Wall so that the barbarian hordes could clamber through more conveniently, not having to do so much climbing, per se, and so they could enter in larger, much more comfortable traveling groups? Et cetera, ad infinitum.

I’m thinking: probably not. Romans might have lacked A.I. and “smart” phones, and at times their emperors may have been crazier than sprayed roaches, but despite those handicaps the Romans were still smart enough not to do any of those birdbrained things like we are.

I know for a fact the Romans weren’t flying the barbarians all over the Empire, putting them up in hotels, and handing them $2,400-a-month EBT cards for doing nothing. I mean, they literally couldn’t have. They were good at war and plumbing, but the Romans never even considered using airplanes and fiat money to get to the end even faster.

Are the Barbarians inside the gates?

A couple highly-suggestive items popped up on my social feeds yesterday, which seemed to me much like signs of the times. At minimum, I think they show where people’s heads are at these days. We have transcended disbelief and anger and are entering some kind of apocalyptic acceptance phase.

The first example was a tweet from usually-secular Human Events editor Jack Posobeic (2.3 million followers), in a video clip interviewing someone about the Antichrist.

Shortly after spotting that one, I discovered a brand-new video podcast from Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk (1.2 million subscribers), interviewing the excellent, pro-America, Calvary Chapel Pastor Jack Hibbs … about how to recognize we’re in the End Times. It’s a good interview, actually. But it is telling about America’s psychology.

Nero was fucked up...so basically we have MILLIONS of Neros in various flavors now.

We are already under color revolution foreign occupancy by the foreign occupied foreign city state of Washington DC. They have already decided the route and course of the destruction of the Republic, including the various infiltrations and imported militia types.

There are going to be false flags along those lines, count on it, the playbooks are well known now to anybody with half a brain.
