These guys are so full of it. Don't forget they write fiction for a living knowing that there are always naive people out there who actually believe that what is happening now is a repeat of a past event, in this case ......examples of what are supposed to be past similarities going all the way back to 1903 tinyurl.com Anyway going back to past examples are as helpful as trading in a 240 horsepower car for a horse. The past is no predictor of the future in this case because the world is quite the different place and there are no rules, just as no 2 wars are alike no two recessions are alike. One thing is true though is once an empire starts its decline there is no saving it whatsoever tinyurl.com The first Empire, Babylon, was founded by King Nebuchadnezzar, best known for his hanging gardens - one of the 7 wonders of the world. =========== The Second Empire was the Persian Empire Cyrus the Great, founder of the Medo-Persian Empire. He issued the famous decree allowing the Jews to return and re-build the Temple in 457 B.C. The first great clash between the ram and he-goat (Persia and Greece) occurred about 410 B.C., at the Battle of Marathon. This is where the marathon race originated. ============ The Third Empire was the Greek or Macedonian Empire Alexander the Great, founder of the Greek Empire was symbolized as a leopard with 4 wings. Upon his death his empire was divided up among his four generals: Cassander ruled Greece, Lysimachus ruled Asia Minor, Seleucus, ruled Syria and Babylon, and Ptolemy ruled Egypt. Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, was descended from this dynasty. ======== The Fourth Empire was the Roman Empire Julius Caesar was the founder of the fourth beast: Imperial Rome....Rome was a Republic like the United States and the very idea of a king was repugnant to the Roman Senate who finally got rid of him by assassination....Shakespeare wrote a famous play about his life. Caesar was assassinated on the IDES of March (full moon) as the Roman Senate considered it a very lucky time to get rid of a dictator. Imperial Rome was indeed a killer unparalleled in human history. War was their business and passion. Julius Caesar was reported to have killed over 1 million Celts in his conquest of Gaul alone. ======== The Fifth Empire was the Spanish Empire The Sixth Empire was the French Empire and the last and final empire on this planet, which is in serious decline and decay is the Anglo-American Empire and Bob Hoye cannot save it.
