    Default The Longest Conflict in World History may be the Root of War Today

    Markab Algedi
    Jun 25, 2018






    The number one enemy of the US/NATO side of world power is Iran. Libya was first, now they want Syria, but the real target has always been Iran: why? The answer to this question may be in part found in ancient history. Ever heard the expression “all roads lead to Rome?”
    That means that the Western power cliques find root in Ancient Rome, whether it’s simple reverence for their ways, like the way the White House was situated on “Capitol Hill,” named after the Roman Capitoline Hill, or if the root is more literal.




    England was once territory of the Romans, as was most of Western Europe. The Roman Empire once extended all the way to Syria, and that region of the world has always been the battleground between different Persian and Roman Empires.


    Persia is Iran, and the on and off but quite consistent conflict between the Persian Empires and Roman Empires constitutes the longest war in the history of humanity.
    The European royal families are father to son, direct descendants of the rulers of Europe hundreds of years ago today: it’s safe to say that kind of power tends to persist and be passed down through the generations.
    Understanding that power is passed down, and it’s the historical norm for rivalries to last centuries, why wouldn’t it make sense to think that the modern day US/NATO conflict with Iran could find root in the conflict between Rome and Persia?
    There may be reasons that the NATO side wants to control Iran so badly, that we don’t understand, that have roots in antiquity. Could there be ancient reasons why they want Syria, Iran, and modern day Persia?


    Perhaps a bit of the historical details will trigger some imaginative theories.
    The Roman-Persian wars lasted for 694 years, between the years of 66 BC and 628 AD. This is the longest conflict in human history. The conflict had been over for about 1,200 years prior to the modern day conflict between the West and Iran, but geographically, this region has been a crossroads forever.
    Afghanistan, and Persia by extension, has historically been referred to as the “place empires go to die,” or the “graveyard of empires.” Nobody could colonize or conquer Persia during the reign of colonialism, when India, Australia, and other territories were ruthlessly conquered by the British, and the Americas were conquered by the Spanish.
    It is the land where empires go to die because the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan and Pakistan shielded the Iranian, Persian homeland from attack.





    Syria however, and the surrounding area, unfortunately does not have as great a defense against attack: and that brings us to where we are today. The Syrian conflict is no “civil” war.
    States from the Greco-Roman world continuously engaged in conflict with two successive Iranian or Persian empires, the Parthian and the Sasanian empires.






    It was the closest thing to constant world war that the world had really seen until the 20th Century. Several vassal kingdoms provided the role of buffer states, and several nomadic nations that were allied played roles.
    The beginning of Islam, with the Prophet Muhammad rising up out of the Arabian Peninsula to begin the Arab Muslim Conquests, was the fall of the Sasanian Empire and thus the near 700 war.


    Then, the Muslims held down the territory of Persia against any intruder for the entire duration of the Colonialism Era.
    The war began in Southern Armenia in 69 BC, when the Roman general Lucius Cornelius Sulla decided to invade the territory of Tigranes in Southern Armenia, despite the wishes for an alliance between the Roman and Parthian kingdoms, on behalf of Persia.





    Iran wanted peace in the very beginning ironically, but under Lucius, the Romans attacked the Persians over 2,000 years ago.
    To read more about this, click this link for a starting point. The details get a little dry, but if you like to read about this type of thing, it could be very entertaining and informative.


    So again: is the modern day rivalry between the NATO side and Iran based on something more than we know?
    Royal families carry secrets, as do the fraternal orders and secret societies they participate in. I’m sure it’s the same way on the Iranian side of things, but perhaps not the same morally.

    I remember flying over Iran on a clear day and seeing the ring of mountains around the country - with central plains well protected. I remember thinking that this country is a natural fortress, and that in the past , invaders would find it almost impossible. In today's world, an invader would face Afghanistan style guerilla tactics, so would opt for air bombardment.

    I see your point but there are other factors that are relative to the Iranian and western conflicts.
    If your idea has merit then the genes would have to have something to do with it along with the, as you say---generations.

    But regarding Persia, there’s a lot of religious history that has bearing on the matter. One point to consider is that it was the ancient Persians that freed the Hebrews from bondage to Babylon; I think the modern Israelis and Iranians might want to think about that the next time they start roaring at each other.

    Then, in terms of religion, we have to consider the venerable Persian descended and super respected by the West, Agha Khan and his heritage.

    In the world of elite powers, this guy is a major force and undoubtedly has an impact on east/west world politics.

    Quote Aga Khan is a title used also as a name by the Imam of the Nizari Ismailis, whose current holder is the 49th Imam (1957–present), Prince Shah Karim Al Husseini Aga Khan IV (b. 1936).
    We all know about the influential and very mysterious Nazari Ismalis

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nizari

    Quote The Nizaris (Arabic: النزاريون‎ al-Nizāriyyūn) are the largest branch of the Ismaili Shi'i Muslims, the second-largest branch of Shia Islam (the largest being the Twelver).[1]Nizari teachings emphasize human reasoning (ijtihad, the individual use of one's reason when using both the Quran and Hadith as resources), pluralism (the acceptance of racial, ethnic, cultural and intra-religious differences) and social justice.[citation needed] Aga Khan IV is their religious Imam and leader.
    Of course, in the hidden realm of power things go on we know little about but the Agha Khan is definitely present at the world table of Power

    I was not expecting to post this vid as it popped up on the U'tube link as I was
    watching a Alex Jones news segment just now. So I clicked on this vid out of
    curiosity and it compares the size of the two militaries as it stands today without
    external aid, though in the event of a conflict it would not be long before the US
    or Russia intervened with weaponry depending how long any conflict lasted.

    Published on 27 Jun 2018
    The two countries we’re going to talk about today are seldom off the front pages of
    the international news media. We won’t get into the politics of it all, but with these
    countries being on everyone’s mind, we thought we’d match them up militarily.
    Without further ado, welcome to this episode of the Infographics Show, Iran vs Israel.
    Let's compare the military power, strength and budget of Iran and Israel.

    I would just like to say that this post is phenomenal.

    Truly gives you a different perspective on what modern wars mean and why they are fought, where their true sources lie, how long they have been going on and how long rivalries between various factions (of the cabal in this case) can truly last. I'm not saying that the historical rivalries are the only reason why they are fought, but I would definitely consider that they do play a part - looking at it from an ancient perspective like that truly makes you think and connect dots differently.

    I wonder how many factions of the cabal there actually are on this planet....I strongly doubt there is one unified venue of psychopaths behind the wars and insanities, as some believe.

    On the J.P. Farrell videos posted yesterday by Helvetic, he does state that various factions are fighting among themselves right now!
