2100 years ago Rome fell into civil war
The same is going to happen in America
Julius Caesar was the most successful commander in Roman history,
But after conquering the entirety of modern day France, the Roman Senate gave him an ultimatum.
Return to Rome, be accused and convicted of corruption under false pretences and sentenced to exile,
Or be declared an outlaw and executed by the Roman state…
Caesar chose secret option number 3, he took his army, marched on Rome and started a civil war that killed 100,000 people and lasted for 4 years,
All because the Roman senate was scared of Caesar’s popularity, and wanted him convicted of crimes so they didn’t have to worry about him winning more elected offices.
Donald Trump is the most polarising figure in recent American history,
He is literally hated by 50% of the population, and near deified by the other half.
And when he is inevitably re-elected at the end of this year, he will find himself in a very similar position to Julius Caesar.
When he leaves office again, he will be prosecuted, and sent to prison, regardless of what he does.
He is being incentivised by his political opponents to do whatever he can to hold onto power,
He is being incentivised to change laws so that he can remain in power,
He is being incentivised to start a civil war to ensure he isn’t persecuted.
This won’t happen overnight, but I guarantee in 10 years the US will be unrecognisable, because of exactly what we are seeing today.
And the only way to protect yourself as the world changes overnight?
It’s to be your own man,
To make your own money,
To run your own business.
Online, from anywhere in the world, so no matter what happens, you’re able to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Truth be told, this is the main driving force behind the work I do to build my business,
And if you want to learn more about what business I run to make money,
How it works, and how you can get started too,
It’s 100% free, but places are severely limited so save your space now.
Stay stoic,
