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.
