Ancient empires and their symbols, from the Parthenon of Athens and the pyramids of Egypt, to the Great Wall of China, the epic monuments of the ancient world not only remind us of the builders, greatness, but the forces that toppled such vigor and genius – the powers and pitfalls of career politicians, scheming religious leaders, jealous aristocrats and merchants and military disasters on which the lives of millions depended.

The best and fastest way to do that is to truly get down to the principles laid out in the Constitution by the Founding Fathers – not just the Supreme Court. The alternative is a global political and economic Armaggedon as predicted by the Sumerians and Mayans.
