New book: American Heart of Darkness

[Laura]

And I did not know that about Cicero! I thought he was one of the cool guys! LOL! The parallels of the US to Rome are surprising and very interesting.

If you want to read a case study of ponerology, read Jerome Carcopino's book: "Cicero The Secrets Of His Correspondence Volumes I and II". http://www.amazon.com/Cicero-Secrets-His-Correspondence-Volumes/dp/B000JL9D76/ref=la_B000AQ3U56_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386401308&sr=1-2

It's gripping and horrifying at the same time when you realize that this pusillanimous, manipulative, cowardly, greedy schizoid psychopath has colored our perception of history for over 2K years.

Of course, the academic community is doing its best to keep the lid on. But there are a few others who have seen the light even if they aren't aware of ponerology and how to apply it to the study of history:

Arthur D. Kahn - The Education of Julius Caesar
http://www.amazon.com/Education-Julius-Caesar-Biography-Reconstruction/dp/0595089216/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386401747&sr=1-5&keywords=arthur+d+kahn
Christian Meier - Caesar: A Biography
http://www.amazon.com/Caesar-A-Biography-Christian-Meier/dp/046500895X

Mattias Gelzer and Peter Needham: Caesar: Politician and Statesman
http://www.amazon.com/Caesar-Politician-Statesman-Mattias-Gelzer/dp/0674090012/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386401799&sr=1-8&keywords=julius+caesar+biography

Adrian Goldsworthy Caesar: Life of a Colossus
http://www.amazon.com/Caesar-Life-Colossus-Adrian-Goldsworthy/dp/0300126891/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386401799&sr=1-2&keywords=julius+caesar+biography

Michael Parenti - The Assassination of Julius Caesar - A People's History Of Ancient Rome
http://www.amazon.com/Assassination-Julius-Caesar-Peoples-History/dp/1565849426/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386401962&sr=1-1&keywords=julius+caesar+parenti

And, if you've got the time and interest there is Mommsen's monumental history of Rome.
http://www.amazon.com/History-Rome-volumes-1-5/dp/1849023050/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386402044&sr=1-2-fkmr0&keywords=mommsen+history+of+rome+complete

Mommsen appears to be the first to have seen through the fraud. But then, he was accused of "worshipping Caesar". He was also accused of drawing too many parallels between those times and his times in Germany. But, from a ponerological point of view, he was correct. The more I read and learned about the times, the lies, the frauds, the more depressed I got and now, I can hardly bear to read another account of the assassination. Knowing what all could have been and what actually happened, it strikes me as the greatest crime in our written history with Cicero as the schizoidal behind the assassination, Cassius the psychopath, and Brutus the most foolish dupe of all time. And Caesar, the Greatest Man of ALL Time that we can know about, no exceptions. So, yeah, I'm in Mommsen's camp. And there is a growing number of scholars who are.

But what IS most horrifying of all is to realize the close parallels between Rome and our present society/situation. In a strange sort of way, I've come to understand our own times better by studying ancient Rome. Mysterious things have clarified themselves and almost every day, when reading the news, I perceive a "replay".

Stefan Verstappen has some really good comments on the topic here:

[Robert Kirkconnell]

Stefan sure does have some interesting comments! And thanks for putting that up, Laura. It was interesting how psychopathy has also flourished in many areas that are not so obvious, such as TV entertainment programs. I don't know very much about this because I don't watch programs such as "Hunger Games," etc. This is disturbing that psychopaths are coming to the top in a variety of fields.

I recently called in to a progressive blogtalkradio program and the host was clueless about this. Further, he did not seem to be interested at all. He and his guests seemed to be on to the idea of evil, but they appeared to come from the position that they could ignore evil and just do the best they could. Keep to themselves so to speak. I was trying to put forth the idea that we are all in the same lifeboat and we just can not let these people run it.

Hey, I am going to have Abraham Bolden on my talk radio program. He was the only black Secret Service agent on JFK's security detail, and he ended up in jail for "truthing." If some of you are interested in hearing from him I can let you know the details.

 

[Robert Kirkconnell]

Sort of a random thought, but I recall seeing a replay a while back of Hillary Clinton on a talk show. The host asked her something about Muammar Gaddafi, and her response was "We came, we saw, he died..." followed by Hahahaha. The host was snickering also. These people are SICK!! The US has played this guy for all he was worth for decades and then put the Pan Am 103 fiasco on him -- something that he had no motive, means, or opportunity to do. The truth behind this tragedy is almost beyond belief, and links into, believe it or not, the US drug trade. This is the reason you won't hear the truth about this. Anyone who "truths" about this ends up having problems, such as Congressman Traficant.

Another random act of sociopathy perhaps: Did you ever see McCain's "Bomb, bomb, bomb,...bomb, bomb, Iran" song on YouTube?

These people are SICK!!

Yep, and stupid. Stupid and sick. Stupid sick. And some are just plain stoopid. That's also a part of the horror as I see it.

Sure please post the details. I have the book he wrote after having read about him in 'JFK and the Unspeakable' that I will get to eventually.

Man, I can't thank you folks enough! What a sharp bunch; y'all rock! It is a pleasure to check this board everyday. There is always something new and insightful here. I am about half way thru The Apocalypse and that is certainly interesting.

As most of you know, Abraham Bolden wrote a most revealing book that documented how the US Secret Service "stood down" before and during the JFK assassination, and then covered it up. The same scenario was written about the FBI, To Kill a President, by Wesley Swearingen; and also the CIA, First Hand Knowledge, by Robert Morrow. All that needs to be done is for the above agencies to just not do their jobs and something will come out of the shadows.... They then all covered it up, to this day. The people that talked caught hell and Bolden was no exception.

I think we have a unique opportunity to hear from Abraham. We will do an hour show which will be on Dec. 17, 2013, at 12AM, noon, EST, which will be 9AM, Pacific time. The call in number is 1-347-202-0257 and you can use SKYPE. If you want to ask questions you can push the 1 and I will be able to see that you are waiting. The internet location for calling in has been posted before but here it is again:
