The Lessons From Atlantis

Nobody’s Opinion:

Here’s a video that was emailed to me that I haven’t seen, and unless you have nothing to do but sit around and watch C-Span all day, you didn’t see this either. It’s nothing new under the sun…the bankers and the top leaders of our government (let’s not forget the Brussels people) have been having secret meetings for years now. It’s chess on a global scale, and it’s not reported, but it’s a class of the .01 percent of the powerful who have gotten together to put in process certain scenarios to get the results that we have seen happen since 2008. The global crash, was caused by what Daniel Hannon would call “crony capitalism” and the rest of us call theft.  They got very rich, and gave themselves huge amounts of money, while the rest of the world collapsed.

It’s the reason we see riots everywhere. The leaders of all nations: from the Wall Street Boys, to our own billionaire Congress, to the Saudi Kings of Arabia, to the Queen herself…the gold halls of Atlantis, for all it’s value, could not compete with this small group of..around 400 people.

As the people struggle, the rich have lost all morality.

As I was watching this video, I couldn’t help but think of what Plato wrote about the ‘lost’ city of Atlantis.

Whenever you hear about “Atlantis” you hear mostly about how “wise” etc. the place was. But according to Plato, Atlantis was known first and foremost for it’s spectatcular wealth. The buildings were all of gold, ivory, silver, laced with beautiful marbles beyond imagination. And every five or six years, the King and the princes of nine districts, would meet and for the most part…ruled well.

(Probably because they ONLY GOT TOGETHER EVERY SIX YEARS!)

Atlantis and its people lived in harmony. They had beautiful gardens, and mansions, and just about as much gold as you could imagine. And then it happened: at the height of its glory, the rich got…greedier.

 “Then above all they appeared to be superlatively fair and blessed yet they were filled with lawless ambition and power. The portion of divinity within them was now becoming faint and weak. They were unable to bear the burden of their possessions and had lost their virtue. The wealth they possessed was so immense that the like that never been seen before in any royal house nor will ever easily be seen again.”

According to Plato, Zeus got angry…and caused earthquakes, floods, and tsunami’s’ to sink the whole island.

What would Plato say today I wonder?

If history repeats itself, then Atlantis will be destroyed. The rich will go down with the poor.

Now, you have to ask yourself: Did Plato make up this little island of wealth to teach some kind of morality lesson to the rich lords of his own age? Was this a “fable” handed down as a lesson of what happens when too many people get greedy and destroy the rest of the people?

Or was Atlantis…real? Nobody Knows.

According to THIS guy. It’s still here. And isn’t it funny, that when you hear about the lost city of Atlantis, you never hear about the “lawless ambition and power” of its rulers?

Something tells me…in the future, our own ambitoous and greedy rulers of the world, will write their own histroy (as they are doing now) and that bit of information, about how a mere handful of people who ruled the world, got very greedy and helped destory the once great wealth of many… will be lost to future generations, just as surely, as the story of the lost city of Atlantis.

In the future, it will be told to little children, that once upon a time: a great civilization lived where all the men and leaders were wise.
