the truth, nothing but the shadow of the truth....

ACT THREE, SCENE TWO OF JULIUS CAESAR BY SHAKESPEARE.... WHO SAID WHAT? SHOULD WE REFER TO THE MOVIE MADE IN 1953, THE FAMOUS WORDS COME FROM ANTHONY (BLINKEN?)....

 

Marc Antony:

Gentle Romans. Gentle Romans, hear me. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears! I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones. So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious. If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and grievously hath Caesar answered it. 

Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest -- for Brutus is an honorable man; so are they all, all honorable men -- come I to speak in Caesar's funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me. 

But, Brutus says he was ambitious; and Brutus is an honorable man.

He hath brought many captives home to Rome whose ransoms did the general coffers fill. Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.

Yet, Brutus says he was ambitious; and Brutus is an honorable man. 

You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown -- which he did thrice refuse! Was this ambition?

Yet, Brutus says he was ambitious; and surely he is an honorable man.

I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke. But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love him once, not without cause. What cause withholds you, then, to mourn for him? Oh, Judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason. 

(Bear with me: My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it come back to me.)

MY REFERENCE BOOK FROM 1963 (ACT III, SCENE II), SHOW A FEW WORDS HAVE BEEN CHANGED IN THE MOVIE... POSSIBLY FOR CLARITY.... HERE IS A MODERN ENGLISH VERSION:

 

ANTONY:
You gentle Romans—


ALL:
Peace, ho! Let us hear him.


ANTONY:
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious;
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest—
For Brutus is an honorable man;
So are they all, all honorable men—
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me;
But Brutus says he was ambitious,
And Brutus is an honorable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome,
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill.
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept;
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And Brutus is an honorable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And sure he is an honorable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause;
What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?
O judgement, thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.


FIRST CITIZEN:
Methinks there is much reason in his sayings.

 

.....

 

THIRD CITIZEN:
There's not a nobler man in Rome than Antony.


FOURTH CITIZEN:
Now mark him, he begins again to speak.


ANTONY:
But yesterday the word of Caesar might
Have stood against the world. Now lies he there,
And none so poor to do him reverence.
O masters! If I were disposed to stir
Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,
I should do Brutus wrong and Cassius wrong,
Who, you all know, are honorable men.
I will not do them wrong; I rather choose
To wrong the dead, to wrong myself and you,
Than I will wrong such honorable men.
But here's a parchment with the seal of Caesar;
I found it in his closet, 'tis his will.
Let but the commons hear this testament—
Which, pardon me, I do not mean to read—
And they would go and kiss dead Caesar's wounds
And dip their napkins in his sacred blood,
Yea, beg a hair of him for memory,
And, dying, mention it within their wills,
Bequeathing it as a rich legacy
Unto their issue.


FOURTH CITIZEN:
We'll hear the will. Read it, Mark Antony.


ALL:
The will, the will! We will hear Caesar's will.


ANTONY:
Have patience, gentle friends, I must not read it;
It is not meet you know how Caesar loved you.
You are not wood, you are not stones, but men;
And, being men, hearing the will of Caesar,
It will inflame you, it will make you mad.
'Tis good you know not that you are his heirs,
For if you should, O, what would come of it!

WHAT HAS THE ASSASSINATION OF JULIUS CAESAR GOT TO DO WITH OUR MOMENT? WELL, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN JFK WAS ASSASSINATED AND THE REPUBLIC STARTED TO REALLY BECOME EXPOSED AS AN EMPIRE, WITH AN EMPEROR AT THE HEAD. WHETHER THIS EMPEROR IS ELECTED OR NOT BY THE GOOD BURGHERS OF THE COUNTRY, IS IRRELEVENT TO THE ELITES WHO CONTROL THE PUPPET.

LET'S BE CLEAR HERE, JOE BIDEN IS A DORKY SENILE OLD KOOK WHO HAS DONE A LOT OF MALICIOUS THINGS IN THE PAST (SEE HIS LYING WHEN TEARING DOWN SCOTT RITTER DURING A SENATE HEARING)....

blunderings of the empire....

US President Joe Biden’s administration is “quietly preparing for the possibility” that Ukraine’s much-heralded offensive doesn’t deliver the “total victory” Kiev wanted, Politico reported on Monday, citing several anonymous officials.

While the US government’s public support for Ukraine is “unwavering,”officials have expressed fears in private that the White House could be caught in a crossfire of criticism should the attack fall short of expectations, the outlet said. The ‘hawks’ would claim the US and its allies had not given Ukraine enough weapons and ammunition, while the ‘doves’ would see it as proof that Kiev can’t win.

“If Ukraine can’t gain dramatically on the battlefield, the question inevitably arises as to whether it is time for a negotiated stop to the fighting,” Richard Haass, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations, told Politico. “It’s expensive, we’re running low on munitions, we’ve got other contingencies around the world to prepare for.”

One official, who requested anonymity, said the US had “surged” weapons and equipment to Ukraine and “nearly completed” all that Kiev had asked for. But behind closed doors, the US is “worried about what Ukraine can accomplish.”

The US military believes the conflict has bogged down in a trench war, with neither side able to advance very far or very fast. Politico originally reported that Ukraine had suffered 100,000 troops killed, but later changed that to refer to total casualties, including the wounded. The outlet also noted that Kiev’s forces have gone through “historic amounts of ammunition and weaponry,” and that “even the West’s prodigious output” has been unable to meet their needs.

The Pentagon now doubts that Ukraine can achieve its objective of reaching Crimea, though the US military still hopes it could “hamper” the Russian supply lines.

A negotiated truce would be sold to both the Western and Ukrainian public as a temporary ceasefire, “leaving the door open for Ukraine to regain more of its territory at a future date,” some US officials told Politico. This has been done before, with the 2015 Minsk Agreement – according to recent admissions by the German and French leaders at the time – though the outlet did not bring that up.

US officials also proposed to sweeten the deal with “NATO-like security guarantees” to Kiev, more money from the EU, and even more weapons for the Ukrainian military, while “re-engaging China” to push Russia into negotiating.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION (I MEAN THE ADMIN — the IDIOTS LIKE BLINKEN AND AUSTIN — NOT THE OLD SENILE DEVIOUS IDIOT WHO NEEDS A PROMPT TO FALL OFF THE STAGE) HAS BEEN LYING TO YOU... BY NOW YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS... THE SECRET PAPERS SHOULD BE SEEN AS THE ADMINISTRATION LETTING OFF STEAM BECAUSE THE AMERICAN-MADE KETTLE IN UKRAINE IS ABOUT TO BLOW UP! AS SCOTT RITTER KEEPS REPEATING, RUSSIA IS ON THE CORRECT (RIGHT) SIDE OF HISTORY. AND NOTHING (UNLESS WE GO ALL NUCLEAR WAR) CAN CHANGE THIS. AND THEY TELL YOU MORE LIES ABOUT THE POISED BALANCED STATUS OF THIS CONFLICT... THIS IS A LIE: RUSSIA IS WINNING. 10 TO ONE.
