    Sharyl Attkisson Retweeted Ray Maxwell

    H/T to @dolphinfish55 : Marcus Tullius Cicero, from a speech given to the Roman Senate, recorded in approximately 42 B.C. by Sallust. See thread.https://twitter.com/dolphinfish55/status/998682926920413184 …

    Sharyl Attkisson added,

    Ray Maxwell @dolphinfish55
    Loving the Cicero quotes on Twitter. Here's a thread. "A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city." (1)

        Replying to @SharylAttkisson @dolphinfish55

        I approve of Mr. Brennan's sense of historical resonance. It was Cicero who exposed & destroyed the Catilinarian conspiracy, when a network of the entitled elite, angry about the results of an election, attempted to commandeer the Roman Republic.

        Replying to @captainspicks @SharylAttkisson @dolphinfish55

        If there ever was a "Catalinian conspiracy". Note Roman law was broken by the murder of the so called conspirators And Cicero's enemy, Julius Caesar, is the person primarily responsible for the end of the Republic. Nothing straightforward here.

        Cicero was the Obama of his time. Don't be fooled. Read Jerome Carcopino on Cicero's letters...

        Didn't they kill Cicero at the end? Nobody likes the smart guy. Sort of explains Breitbart and Hastings' deaths.

        We're being occupied by just one of a handful of cultures existing within our increasingly fragmented society. Its grip is so tight that the host culture has passed out and there seems to be nothing our "leaders" can or want to do but participate and benefit from our demise.

        That's an interesting way of putting it. Hmmm. Should we reconsider the push to #multiculturalism?

        Yes, we should all be American. Just as I don't consider myself English, I don't think a society can stand together when it feels like a bunch of subcultures cohabiting.

        Wondering if those recordings had two way consent. Also curious if Cheatin' Mark Antony planted spies in the Cicero campaign....
