What happened at that time in history (circa 400 C.E./A.D.) also happened in modern times around the year 2010, and became known as the “Arab Spring.” It was a time when the people began to question the authority and legitimacy of their government and its ability to provide for their needs. The “Arab Spring” movement extended into many non-Arab countries and was called the “Occupy Movement,” where educated and seemingly logical people attempted to move against their governments for the exact same reasons that the ancient Roman citizens did: economic justice and equality. “Gold and silver” were the means in Rome, and are the symbolic means today, that reflect the money system that controls human life upon this earth. Accepting this reality, the ancient Romans, joined by current people across the world, were/are making an attempt to stand up to the governments that control their lives and demand social and economic justice and equality. But this time around, many of the people are too smart, or rather, too aware, to be herded by a canon of esoteric and inspiring scripture that controls their hearts and minds, and therefore, their actions. Few options of economic justice and equality are as easily acquired as military service. Joining the military provides people with economic opportunities that would otherwise not be at their disposal. And as long as there is “gold and silver” to pay the soldiers’ salaries, those who control the soldiers, can also control the people. The end of the Roman Empire actually came from the Empire’s inability to pay its soldiers’ wages. Without the military to enforce its laws, the Empire was doomed. This will never be the case today. Today, we can print “gold and silver” anytime we need it. And the greatest expense, of the greatest “empire” that exists in our world today, is the military. Here is the actual proposed budget for the United States of America for 2015:
