Wolgrace: Here's your answer: Washington DC USA The United States is a corporation owned by the 13 families controlled by the Jesuits. The Spanish Jews in 1492 converted to Catholicism and they formed the Jesuit military arm of the Church of Rome. The first name of Washington DC is Rome. And Distrist of Columbia is the federal district named after Christopher Columbus. They mixed the Jew Thomas Jefferson with Sally Hemmings and other Negro slaves to create mulattoes like Louis Farrakhan who believe it or not his father is a Jew. All them Blacks who call themselves Greeks and Romans were made from Jewish slave masters breeding. Babylon was known for breeding animals and peoples. This they did in the 13 colonies with Black and Irish slaves. The 13 families owned the 13 colonies and who received their thrones from the Moors. The Moors put the Jew on throne as Jesus Christ and many Black Frremasons are in on it around the world. It's called the Grand Design. My father's family came from the the bottom of the American South called Louisiana French New Orleans and we have a French surname. We came from Choctaw Black American Indians who were share croppers not chattel slaves. Wake up out your slumber

Is America the New Rome? – United States vs. the Roman Empire By Michael Lewis Views 83.6K Shares 73 Share this Article The example of the first great republic in recorded history (509 B.C. to 29 B.C.) was omnipresent in the minds of America’s founders as they created a new republic centuries later. As a consequence of their deliberations and, perhaps, the “protection of divine Providence” as written in the Declaration of Independence, the United States of America, in the mind of many of the founders, was intended to be the modern equivalent of the Roman Republic. The Roman Republic ended with the infamous assassination of Julius Caesar in 27 B.C.. After a protracted civil war, Octavian became the first “Imperator Caesar,” or Roman emperor. The subsequent period – post-republic – of Roman dominance is known in history as the “Roman Empire.” While Rome enjoyed an additional 500 years of world dominance and internal conflict under the Caesars, history reports its disintegration in the fifth century A.D. (476 A.D.) following the successful invasion of the barbarian Germanic tribes. Common Influences on the Founding of Each Society While the facts of the founding of the Italian city Rome are shrouded in myth, the Roman Republic was established in 509 B.C. by the overthrow of the last Roman king (Lucius Tarquinius Superbus) and expulsion of the Etruscan theocratic government by the Latins, one of the three Italic tribes in central and southern Italy. Similarly, the “Republic for the United States of America” was birthed in a bloody revolution against the British King George more than 2,000 years later. According to historian Carl J. Richard in “Greeks & Romans Bearing Gifts: How the Ancients Inspired the Founding Fathers,” the earlier Roman Republic heavily influenced the founders of America who shared many common fears and hopes of the earlier architects of that Republic. These included the following: Fear of Centralized Authority. Having learned the lessons of despots and emperors, both societies attempted to establish checks and balances to avoid abuse of unchecked government power. The Romans replaced their king who served for life with a system of two consuls elected by citizens for an annual term. America’s founders created the executive, legislative, and judicial branches to diffuse potential power and abuse.Open Societies. Rome welcomed other people – particularly its vanquished enemies – into Roman citizenship, even accepting the gods of the newcomers. Likewise, America has long been recognized as a “melting pot.”Selfless Leadership. Rooted in agrarian societies, commitment to family and mutual citizen interdependence were basic in each society. Cincinnatus, a Roman farmer, saved the republic from invading Aequi tribes in 458 B.C. and again in 439 B.C. when a conspiracy threatened the government. In both cases, he was named dictator, but shortly thereafter resigned his commission to return to farming. George Washington, a Virginia farmer who led the fight against the British, resigned after his second term as president to return to his Virginia estate. Both men are examples of leaders who put the needs of their country before their personal interests. As a consequence of its influence with the founders, Roman symbolism is rampant in American society. The Eagle is the symbol of both, and Latin inscriptions can be found on all 13 original states’ seals, as well as the Great Seal of the United States. Roman sayings and symbols are on American currency; early American coins had the head of a Roman on one side because the founders did not want to have a king on their coins. he Latin sayings Annuit coeptis (“He approves of the undertaking”) and Novus ordo Seclorum (“A new order of the ages’) are above and below the unfinished pyramid on the one dollar bill. The American founders clearly desired to emulate the best elements of the Roman Republic in the new republic, while avoiding the excesses that led its transformation into the Roman Empire. James Madison in particular worried that the intemperance and extravagance of the later Roman Empire might also emerge in the new nation. As a consequence, the fourth president was adamant that the country was not like Rome. Writing in the Federalist paper No. 63, he declared that the example of the government during the period of the Roman empire, especially the Senate, was “unfit for the imitation, as they are repugnant to the genius of America.” Parallels Between the Republics Despite the efforts of some American leaders to set a different course than that experienced by the Roman Republic, an analysis of the two is inevitable. Cullen Murphy, former managing editor of “The Atlantic” and current editor-at-large of “Vanity Fair,” identified numerous similarities between the two civilizations in his 2007 book “Are We Rome?” Global Influence and Dominance. Both societies were the preeminent entities in their worlds including “hard” power (military might and economic power) and “soft” power (language, culture, commerce, technology and ideas). Their dominant stature is taken for granted within their own societies and the world at large.Solipsism. Americans have long believed that they are the straw that stirs the drink with qualities and abilities superior to other countries. In ancient days, all roads led to Rome, the center of the Ancient World – or so Roman citizens believed. Publius Cornelius Tacitus claimed that even “things atrocious and shameless flock from all parts to Rome.” According to Murphy, “Both see themselves as chosen people and both see their national character as exceptional.”Political Corruption. Like America today, politicians in the Roman Republic had difficulty differentiating between public and private responsibilities and public and private resources. As a consequence, public services declined while the pockets of the public officials and their patrician sponsors grew large at the expense of common citizens. Numerous reforms were attempted to curb excesses, but were resisted by the ruling patrician class, echoing the partisan battles in American government today.Foreign Wars. For the past century, America has been preoccupied with war, either fighting a war, recovering from a war, or preparing for a war. The list includes World War I (1917-1918), World War II (1941-1945), the Cold War (1947-1991), the Korean War (1950-1953), the Vietnam War (1954-1975), the Gulf War (1990-1991), Afghanistan (2001- ?), and Iraq (2003-2011). The list does not include the continuous fight against domestic and foreign terrorism. As a consequence, domestic problems lack attention and priority. The Roman wars include the initial overthrow of the King followed by 50 years of battle to subjugate the southern peninsula of Italy. Over the next four centuries, they repelled numerous Celtic invasions from the north and fought three Samnite Wars (343-282 B.C.), the Pyrrhic War (280-275 B.C.), the Punic Wars (274-148 B.C.), four Macedonian wars (215-148 B.C.), and the Jugurthine War (111-104 B.C.). These battles do not include numerous barbarian invasions, slave rebellions, and regular skirmishes with pirates who continuously threatened trade routes on which the republic depended.Collapse of the Middle Class. The Roman middle class was crushed by cheap overseas slave labor; the rising income inequality due to technological change and the transfer of jobs to overseas labor threatens the middle class of America today.Loss of Political Compromise. Just as Republicans and Democrats are focused on political gain rather than the public good, the inability of the opposing political parties of the Roman Republic – Optimates (aristocrats) and Populares (populists) – to work together led to the imposition of Caesar as dictator and the end of the Republic. While the Roman Republic survived approximately 500 years and the American Republic has been in existence less than 250 years, America does face a number of major challenges, any of which have the possibility of transforming the country and negatively affecting the populace. Our economic inability to satisfy all constituents, combined with societal disagreement over priorities and the growing rift between haves and have-nots, heightens the likelihood of social unrest, unprecedented political change, and the loss of worldwide supremacy. Most economists project that America’s supremacy in the world will be lost by the mid-21st century to the countries of China, India, and Brazil. Are Comparisons of Ancient Rome and Modern America Valid? Dr. Joseph Tainter, an American anthropologist and author of “The Collapse of Complex Societies,” theorized that advanced, complex, and technically sophisticated societies such as modern America, the British Empire, and the Roman Republic inevitably collapse due to the inability of the resource base to sustain the society. The lack of sufficient resources to meet everyone’s wants and needs invariably stimulates internal strife, class warfare, and political division. Modern issues of this include: The country is less a melting pot today, but a stew of competing ethnic, racial, and social divisionsNational, state, and local debt loads are unsustainableOur elementary and secondary educational system ranks behind many of the other industrialized countries, even as the costs of a post-secondary education require students to assume thousands of dollars in personal student loan debtOur national infrastructure – roads and bridges – is falling apart from neglect and lack of maintenance even as our electronic infrastructure lags many of our international competitorsOur healthcare system is the most expensive in the world, but mediocre by many world standardsPolitical corruption is rife and influence is based by the size of financial donation to the political party and candidateMany political observers believe that in the era of rampant partisanship, America’s system of checks and balances in government is no longer operativeThe growing disparity income inequalitycreates class tension and social stress In spite of a host of seemingly convincing similarities, considering Dr. Tainter’s analysis suggests that the aforementioned issues are often shared across many advanced societies. Therefore, the issues do not suggest a tie specifically between modern America and ancient Rome. In other words, the assumption that America will suffer the same fate as the Roman Republic is coincidental – any comparison of two dominant economic, military, or international countries, regardless of the type of government, would produce multiple parallels. Differences Between the Republics Further, historians and economists note a plethora of significant differences between the Roman and American Republics, including: Role of Technology. Rome’s entire existence was limited to the Iron Age where tools and weapons were primarily of the metal iron. Furthermore, the society was entirely agrarian, and the political system was simple and nascent. The Romans adopted technologies from their subject territories and were heavily dependent upon imports. By contrast, America was a leader of the Industrial Age, extended its leadership through the Information Age, and appears to be the leader of the Biotech Age. Some scientists believe that technological advances – led by nanotechnology and robotics – will create a new era of abundance, replacing the historical and dominant economic model of scarcity.Democracy. While Rome had a Republic, political power rested solely in the hands of the patricians, a small percentage of the educated, wealthy, and powerful in the general population. As Murphy admits, “Even at its most democratic, Rome was not remotely as democratic as America at its least democratic under the British monarchy.”Entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs are respected members of American society. Neither the Roman Republic nor the Roman Empire had a similar class of citizens. As a consequence, America is a hothouse of creativity and innovation while engineering breakthroughs of the older Roman society were limited.Social Equality. While America is seeing a widening gap between haves and have-nots, it still is far less glaring than that of the Roman Republic.Final Word Not only is it inaccurate, but it’s ineffective to think the fate of modern America will follow that of Rome. We are not doomed to a similar outcome, though we need to take steps to prevent it. Perhaps the single best hope for America and the world is the potential of emerging technologies to overcome the limitation of resources that has always existed. If the technological promises of nanotechnology, robotics, and biological breakthroughs can be realized, America’s democratic history, can-do spirit, and belief in social equality might prevail in a world of ideas, not shortages. America the New Rome Rome was into Baal worship and thus homosexuality was the norm. Wake up out your slumber 1 Like

D.C. HIV/AIDS Rate Higher Than West Africa March 18, 200912:00 PM ET Heard on Tell Me More LISTEN·12:0512-Minute Listen Toggle more options According to a new report issued by Washington, D.C., officials, the HIV rate in the nation's capital is the highest in the country. Nearly 3 percent of the city's residents are living with HIV/AIDS, a rate higher than in West Africa. Cornelius Baker, formerly of Washington's renowned Whitman-Walker clinic, and Patricia Nalls, of The Women's Collective, discuss the epidemic. MICHEL MARTIN, host: I'm Michel Martin and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. Coming up popular historian Thomas Cahill who spends most of his time thinking about the past so he can write such bestsellers as "The Mysteries Of The Middle Ages". So how did he come to be friend and write about an inmate on death row in Texas? We will find out in just a few minutes. But first, an alarming fact: Washington D.C. has one of the highest of rates of HIV infection in the country, if not the highest. According to a report released Monday by district officials, nearly three percent of residents in the nation's capital are living with HIV or AIDS. That surpasses the one percent mark that's considered the threshold for an epidemic. And adding to the grim numbers, the study found that every form of transmission is on the rise, with minorities and women at an especially high risk. Joining me to talk about this now: Cornelius Baker from the Center on AIDS and Community Health at the Academy for Educational Development, and Patricia Nalls, Founder and Executive Director of The Women's Collective. Since 1992 the D.C. non profit has been providing services to women living with HIV and leading prevention efforts geared towards women and their families. Welcome to you both, thank you both so much for stopping in. Mr. CORNELIUS BAKER (Executive Director, Whitman-Walker Clinic): Thank you for having us. Ms. PATRICIA NALLS (Founder and Director, The Women's Collective): Thank you for having me. MARTIN: Cornelius, I want to start with you because you have been combating HIV and AIDS in D.C. and on a national level for nearly two decades. You used to be director of the renowned Whiteman-Walker Clinic in D.C. You've seen many reports on HIV and AIDS over the years and you've seen this report. This has to be frustrating, but is it surprising? Mr. CORNELIUS: It's not surprising. As now you must know from years at Whitman-Walker Clinic, we were using the statistic that one in 20 adults in Washington D.C. was HIV positive. And that was just data that we were seeing from our own clinic and where we were coming out with our all estimates of the epidemic. And now of course, this D.C. report does confirm what we've known for a while. And what it tells us is that the action that was needed then is even more urgently needed now. MARTIN: And what was the action needed then that's still needed now? Mr. CORNELIUS: Well, certainly we need to have a full scale plan in the district, and that we need leadership - from the mayor to every single citizen - really committed to what we're going to do to combat this in the district. We also need resources. You know, so long, agencies in this city have struggled -from paycheck to paycheck - just to keep their services going and that's no way to fight an epidemic. And we need a constant reminder. There need to be pubic education in our schools, on our streets, in our churches, everywhere. And, every single citizen needs to get an HIV test. Those… MARTIN: Everybody. Mr. CORNELIUS: …everybody. Everybody. You just cannot presume. We're in a full fledged epidemic in this city. And you cannot presume that you are negative. MARTIN: Patricia, you founded The Women's Collective in response to a lack of services for women and their families. This report confirmed that women and girls are still at a very high risk and the risk is growing. I think a lot of people are used to thinking about women and girls at risk in developing countries like Africa, where people say, well, you know, cultural factors -women aren't as able to negotiate their sexual relationships and things of that sort. People talked about you know labor market patterns, oh well, a lot of men need to leave home to earn a living and they, you know, transmitting the disease that way. But what about here, in the nation's capital, why are women and girls have such great risk? Ms. NALLS: Well, women and girls are at risk for several reasons. One prevention messages are not addressing women's needs. And women - you are not seeing women in the face of the campaigns and the messages that's out there. When the tools that are put out there, are not a tool that women can use. It's condoms, it's male condoms. So when you are out in the streets you are getting a male condom. Now women can't use a male condom. There is such a thing as female condoms but they costs three dollars as compared to 10 cents for a male condom. So it's not affordable or accessible to women. Then we have to look at the violence against women. We have to start looking at violence against women as a part of HIV and AIDS. MARTIN: What do you mean by that. Many women - even the report that came out -almost 50 percent of women in the report are experiencing domestic violence, sexual violence. And it's even higher, those are just people who are saying… I know from what the women we serve, it's more than 50 percent. So we have to start looking at these two issues together and not separate. And there are many, many issues. Many of the women are not… Many of the women are not, you know, going out to get tested because they have so many things on their plates to deal with - they're single head of household. They are dealing with domestic violence, sexual violence, substance use; they're dealing with cancers, losing their kids to violence in street, hunger, homelessness… MARTIN: So they're not making their own self a priority? Ms. NALLS: No. And they don't want to deal - for finding out another thing to deal with. You know, reality is I have to deal with something else. And that issue of time, you know, there all kinds of, you know… So we have to kind of look at all of those things. The messages it's not addressing women. And we saw in the report that women - that came out that - 40 to 50-year-old - when you look at them, the messages, you're not seen women in that age group in the pictures that you see - if you do see the messages out there and if you do see women in the campaigns. MARTIN: If you're just joining us, you're listening to TELL ME MORE from NPR News. I'm speaking with long time HIV/AIDS advocates Patricia Nalls and Cornelius Baker about new data about Washington D.C.'s HIV and AIDS rate. District officials tell us that it's now at epidemic level. I want to talk about prevention messages. There is a whole generation of young people that came of age after this epidemic was known as HIV/AIDS. And so I just think a lot of people don't understand how it is that people could still not understand that they are at risk. It's like the all thing about, you know, smoking. There's before the Surgeon General's Report that said, you know, like this stuff will kill you and then there is after the Surgeon General's point… So people say, before you can say - well I really didn't know this was the culture, this was just what we did. Now you have to know. So Cornelius I guess a lot of people just don't understand how is it possible that people could still not know that they are at risk and that they have to protect themselves. Mr. BAKER: Well, I think there are a couple of things. I mean, I think, you know, if we look at smoking, we should recognize that still one quarter of American public does smoke. And so it's not surprising that when you look at HIV, and you look at several factors, that people are still at risk. I mean, one element is that people aren't always quite sure what to do? There is a generalized risk out there but they don't know how it pertains to them. Especially young people in our culture, really don't understand the fundamentals of sex or of their bodies and sexual healthiness. And you look at a culture that is very squeamish about it and also inconsistent. It praises life, it praises youth, and it sells sex, but yet doesn't give young people the tools to have life, to have healthy bodies and to have healthy sexuality. And you look at even just this week, the Pope, you know, condemning condoms, basically. And so at least young people in particular - very confused. We also live in a pill society, where there is a pill that cures almost everything. Well there is not a pill that cures HIV. But for a long time, I think, that if you were an 18-year old, 19-year old right now, all you have heard is there are these drugs for HIV and it makes you okay. It makes you better, it doesn't makes you okay. And so I think that we have to think about the cultural context in which younger people are now living this epidemic. MARTIN: And also, Patricia, you made this interesting point that older women, 40 and 50-year old women, are now at far greater risk and that the numbers of infected people in this age group, in this demographic, are rising rapidly. And yet, what you're saying - you're saying that when people go around talking about education, it's just they just they don't talk to these women. They act like they don't exist. That the ads still have like young men, particularly young white men in them. Ms. NALLS: Precisely. Precisely. And you know, when we talk about, you know, asking a partner to put on a condom, we have to think about for women, what does that entail? MARTIN: What's the script? Ms. NALLS: And that can induce violence. And we have to talk about that. MARTIN: Can we talk about, just in the couple of minutes that we have left, what would you like to happen now? What should people learn from this? What should people be doing? Ms. NALLS: Well for one thing, I think our government need to call this a state of emergency. Because the District of Columbia, we - for years we have been asking our government to say the words. Our District of Columbia is in a state of emergency. Before this report came out, a group of us, met with our district government and asked that we say these words and we're still not willing to say these words. I think we need to say them. We are in a state of emergency and we need to act as though we are. And we, you know… MARTIN: One we were facing if we were facing a horrendous storm, someone would get up and say, you know what? We are facing a terrible storm, we need to protect ourselves. And you're saying that this is the situation. Ms. NALLS: This is where we are at. And this three percent is only the people that we know are positive. MARTIN: Cornelius we have only a minute left, what do the people need to be doing now? Mr. BAKER: Well all sectors. MARTIN: All government officials, citizens. Mr. BAKER: We certainly we all need to recognize this for what it is, and we need to take urgent action. And I think the things that I mentioned earlier, in getting tested, but I think that also one of the things we need to make sure that we do is we look at the district as an opportunity. That we say that here is a place that we know what is happening, lets do something about it. For young black gay men, for young black women, all across the country, this is happening. It's not just a district, it's Oakland, it's New York, it's Atlanta, it's Birmingham. And we need to take action now or this picture is going to look like this, not only here, but it's going to look like this across the country. MARTIN: Is this a specifically black issue? Mr. BAKER: It is becoming an increasingly black issue as well as a gay issue, still. And we know that there are factors in the black community that are not well understood, and we need research to tell us why this is happening? MARTIN: Cornelius Baker, a senior communications director of the center on Aids and Community Health at the Academy for Educational Development. He is a long time HIV/AIDS activist and the District's former director of the Whitman-Walker clinic which many people will know. Patricia Nalls is founder and executive director of The Women's Collective here in Washington D.C., also a long time HIV/AIDS activist. The Women's Collective was founded to offer services to women who were underserved. They were both kind enough to join us here in our studio in Washington. Thank you both so much. Mr. BAKER: Thank you Ms. NALLS: Thank you Allah punishes sodomy with death and He doesn't care if they are slaves. Sodomy is a religion that is at war with Allah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnlqkNeMvPI Wake up out your slumber
