History Repeats Itself
Connection made between present collapse of rule of law and the past fall of the Roman Empire
According to Martin Armstrong, the collapse of the rule of law in this country demonstrates itself to mirror eerily similar circumstances to the decline of the Roman Empire:
Historians agree on one point. The reign of Commodus (180-192AD), who followed his father, Marcus Aurelius, is where the line is drawn for the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. He abused the law just as the Biden Administration is doing currently. Commodus ordered his sister Lucilla’s execution after a failed assassination and coup attempt when she was about 33 years old. Commodus was eventually assassinated. Like the Biden Administration, Commodus also targeted the rich and targeted anyone who had been aligned with his father, as the Biden Administration has done to Trump supporters.
Armstrong also asserts that history can be predictive:
Yet history is also a road map to the future, for you will see that given similar circumstances, human nature will respond the same way no matter what culture or century.
