Will No Kings Be A Repeat?

This weekend’s No Kings Protests are being billed as a march against a tyrant — President Donald Trump. Will the protests turn into riots, mirroring the great Nika uprising that wracked Constantinople in 532 A.D.?

No Kings will unfold in hundreds of cities, so it’s more dispersed than Nika. But the Democrats’ biggest lefties, the scum like Antifa, will likely be leading many of these processions, so what better time to round them up and ship them out?

In the Constantinople riots as many as 30,000 died. The populace pillaged against high taxes by the Emperor Justinian I and corruption by members of his court. But the citizens also were split and divided into factions, called demes. The demes enjoyed intense rivalry in sports and also roamed the streets of the city, fighting each other.

The riots culminated in a bloodbath at the Hippodrome, the sports arena attached to the palace of Justinian 1. It was here that chariot races were conducted, with the most dominant teams being the Blues (Veneti) and the Greens (Prasini). Here’s more from Michael Jaco, a former Navy Seal and CIA officer.

 

Rise And Fall: Byzantine Empire

On the heels of the Roman Empire came the Byzantine Empire to the east, based in Constantinople. The arts and sciences continued to flourished there long after vandals had ransacked ancient Rome.

The fall of Constantinople, in 1453, led many of its artists and scientists to venture westward. They contributed greatly to the new Renaissance era that ended the Middle Ages. Here’s more from TED-Ed.

Unmasking Money Magick

How did the Central Banks arise in the Ancient World? They came together in the city of Venice, particularly after the capture and sacking of Constantinople in present-day Turkey during the Fourth Crusade in 1204. The bankers minted the bulk of the coinage used by most dukedoms and courts across Europe. These bankers also lent out money, relying on high-interest rates and corruption to control Europe’s dukes and nobles.

Eventually, the power brokers moved northward, first to Amsterdam, and ultimately taking up residence in London. The nobility enjoyed masked balls — the masquerades of the Baroque era — first popularized in Venice, but spreading rapidly to Paris, London and elsewhere. Edgar Allen Poe addressed these charades in his short mystery “The Masque of the Red Death.”

Here, anthropologist and author Robert Sepehr traces the evolution of these central bankers. They remain with us to this day, as evidenced by the Rothschilds’ surreal 1972 party at the Chateau de Ferrieres east of Paris, where guests including Salvador Dali and Audrey Hepburn wore antlers and grotesque masks. The assassinations of at least two American presidents — Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy — are linked to this seditious clique and their endless intrigues.
