CIA/FBI = Praetorian Guard

Guess who else had a problem with an unaccountable federal paramilitary force who saw itself as above the law and acted as the "power behind the throne"? The Romans.
>The Praetorian Guard (Latin: cohortes praetoriae) was an elite unit of the Imperial Roman Army whose members served as personal bodyguards to the Roman emperors.
>Although they continued to serve in this capacity for roughly three centuries, the Guard became notable for its intrigue and interference in Roman politics, to the point of overthrowing emperors and proclaiming their successors.
For centuries, these elite urban paramilitary troops executed palace coups and assassinated emperors with near impunity. The did not see themselves as answerable to the Senate, and regularly overthrew the established order to serve their own interests. Pic related is the Praetorians elevating Claudius to the Imperial throne after murdering his predecessor:
>For the right price, or at will, they assassinated emperors, bullied their own prefects, or turned on the people of Rome. In 41, Caligula was killed by conspirators from the senatorial class and from the Guard, along with his wife and daughter. The Praetorians placed his uncle Claudius on the throne, daring the Senate to oppose their decision.
"B-but the FBI and CIA are different! They serve at the pleasure of the federal government, and are ultimately trustworthy public servants!"
>While the guard had the power to make or break emperors, it had no formal role in government administration, unlike the personnel of the palace, the Senate, and the bureaucracy.
Make no mistake, these agents of the Deep State do not at all see themselves as bound by the law. The memo shows us that they will twist the law and distort the truth as they see fit, and their veiled threats to take down anyone who opposes them - in government or not - are becoming increasingly explicit.

...But:
>In 312 the Guard was ultimately disbanded by Constantine the Great.
Rally behind the God-Emperor.

Stop being so Jewish. THE DEEP STATE IS ISRAEL. ALL THE JEWS IN CONGRESS ARE TRAITORS TO ISRAEL.

inb4 i am the senate

fpwp go back to /leftypol/ with your lazy false-flagging

This really makes me think, and activates me almonds

It's really difficult for me to overstate how much my almonds are activated by this

>implying there were no or less shenanigans before Augustus created the praetorian guards

Like, exceptionally so

well there really is nothing new under the sun after all and humans are too stupid to learn from their past mistakes.

rally behind the emperor? no.

FOR THE REPUBLIC

One can cite other instances where a governmental law enforcement agency secretly pulled the strings of government, for either personal or political gains, but you picked a good classical analogy.

Mis almondes son...activadoa

Good post. Have a bump

Good thread. You fsgs finally got the idea after a few nudges in the right direction.

They were also destroyed by immigrants
It’s almost like history is destined to repeat

You can't do anything so why bother

The situation isn't exactly the same; there was no Sup Forums back in the day for people to call them out on their bullshit, for example. Our representative republican government is definitely on life support and the process of its being strangled to death by the NWO Corporatocray is nearly complete - but we managed to elect Trump. There's still hope, if only we can be roused to even a basic degree of awareness and action.

Kike detected

Good thread

There's a difference between "valid criticisms of the Jews which bring us closer to understanding The Truth" and "wild polemic against the Jews which bring us farther from The Truth, and also make us look like insane conspiracy theorists". It is a tactic of leftist culture warriors to come here and false flag as exaggerated, ridiculous versions of the "typical Sup Forums user" to delegitimize everything we say. I'm not saying we shouldn't see if Schiff has contacts with Mossad, but I'm also not about to suggest every Jew in Washington gets together on the Sabbath to sup the blood of goy children.

cycles of history bub
big, dirty, shit cycles

And yet Trump is a corrupt scumbag with a long history of corruption, mafia ties, cheating on wives, scandal, pedophilia and degeneracy.

>fucking drumpf!!!!

>Release fake emails and memos!
>It's okay that Trump had actual convicted mafia goons on the board of his casino!
Hypocrisy. Degeneracy. Scum.

>fascist blumpf is a criminal!!!!

Memes aside, he literally is.

He's the OP faggot. Does this thread look like a kike thread to you? Lurk more newfag

Are you also the kind of person who believes that Hitler was a scat fetishist?

Are you the kind of person who ignores the fact that Trump used mafia money to build his casino and had mafia members on the board? These are verified facts from long before the election.

Their placement was a favor for Hillary and Bill. Don’t you know?

>Hypocrisy. Degeneracy. Scum.

saved.

>The situation isn't exactly the same; there was no Sup Forums back in the day for people to call them out on their bullshit, for example.
Yes there was. It was literally called "The Forum".

Only two things matter at Sup Forums. The truth and bants. As soon as you have to namefag the truth is lost. The ancient forum was not anonymous. Participants were subject to social mores, and the very real threat of retaliation if the wrong things were said. In addition, not every retarded fuck was able to speak there, like they can speak here.
