It happened around 415-416 AD – but History seems to be repeating itself.
Alexandria had the GREATEST Library in the History of Classical civilization – and one day, on a day just like today – it was no more. Burnt to the ground by a mob of slaves led by Cyril, the Bishop of Alexandria. Mankind slipped into an ignorant slumber for nearly 1200 years after its fall.
“There is no record, in the entire history of the Library that ANY of the illustrious scholars and scientists who worked here, ever seriously challenged a single political or economic or religious assumption – of the society in which they lived.
The Permanence of Stars was Questioned – the Justice of Slavery, was not“
- Carl Sagan

The Internet is OUR Library of Alexandria.
Will it see the same fate as the papyrus filled one of Ancient Alexandria?
This time – it may be the Elite – who finally shut it down – forever.

Does the Rule of Law apply in the United States?
The simple answer – is, NO.
The Law is now an illusion which allows the general public their comfortable delusion that they are still FREE and SELF-GOVERNED. That is the way it has been for some time. Julian Assange should know this. Maybe he does. But the rest of the World has yet to come to grips with the fact that they are dealing with a totalitarian Empire – no different from that of Germany’s Third Reich – when dealing with the U.S. Government.
