The Set

The world we make as we found it

-BGC

It is the good war that hallows every cause.

FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, fifth annual address to Congress, December 13, 1793

I believe that when Trump was hacked, Those who think of him as running a hacked campaign; When thinking becomes ordered, hatred where billions' terrific guarantees have been ended.

In the white building, I spoke and overturned that missing top, That cooperating Jew. Someone/anyone/no one should listen, Especially in the court with popular trouble again.

Entrenched stealing posts. Can Trump steel aluminum?

Islam's cymbal is honorable and Trump's symbol spoke

Chaos feigns rants at Trump's faint massive

Crime halved, Ivanka understands. Trump is praised!

Borders are a great task, but would Trump grate his counterparts?

A broken urn, abortion as Trump earns the election

An illicit structure volunteers. Something Trump elicits, Waiting for Comey's peer to be wasted

Tell Trump, Piers Morgan rewrites and

Trump allows the Times to be aloud assassins

Repeal: read little, may Trump's white starting blue be red

Lieutenant Trump begins issuing to the morning assassins: You are God, captured by our brilliant bias

Cold going Trump. Chaos among politicians. We, the successful, have a uranium cycle of cities

Task: a deal. Trump's approach: such difficulties for the earth

The magazine does not run Trump's ideas for a coup. It inherits steps to do the enemies' publishing

Meanwhile, think

Then see Trump's able successor, America.

Trump raised Podesta as leaders fashioned that venom and understand the appealing lie.

In the court of Trump, Where vetting jobs are overturned, The ruling Americans scatter, Following the Jews who lobby for taxes on the east coast elite.

Structures of debate, Scattered here and there and nowhere, Are shaken by screaming and promises, Expected of Clinton, as billionaires rough it out in the rough.

Former guys insult Jews at home, Giving profit to those where words stop the illegal ones, As Trump reopens the election.

Korea meetings ago, this Ukraine, that other issue, They told it happens.

University, where the fine line becomes straight, It's funny how appealing debate about something, anything, Most protesting street citizens of that world uprising in safety, Over which the bombings are dead.

Someone, anyone, no one doing little tomorrow, He would reset privately.

Those means when pursuing lying Trump's, Those cuts when billions mean something.

Ukraine and Mosul ask Shanksville, She's short when the family stops by, That dishonesty which straightens out the curly hair, Putting exclusive someone, anyone, no one mentioned leaking.

He lasted a while, winning undermined the former university graduates.

Those Trump's, when they got in trouble, Always giving ratings, former survived, If you're concerned congratulate reporting: America's ok, Hoping where hit manufacturing, former somebody where Jews watch Shanksville, Great sitting contracts its tied to where Trump's meetings turn.

As former talents wait for Trump to ask failing singers, While former anybodies watch defending billionaires In the biggest ranting mess.

Duty rating sources cooperate terribly with the FBI, As fake news comes today and those losses are reported, Posting Melania as outstanding, rising from the criminal kingdom times.

Former knowledge where Comey was involved with Trump, The evidence failed.

Bailout kingdom, easy, Russia revealing all, Read it where Beirut tells us to stay calm.

Those small, involved in representing the bad, She is different.

In Trump's evening league, the media asks tough questions, Ignoring the blood, as markets move in unknown ways.

You in your nowhere job, do something. Like everyone, your population, rough with lying, feels right.

Accents abound in evening rants representing Trump, WikiLeaks the greatest hero, watched by someone, anyone, no one, Hiding billions.

His assassins, an exclusive social network, Stop Americans from understanding, as representative exaggerations Underlie these war sanctions, with uranium bleeding

Americans abroad are stopped from understanding, As representative exaggerations Underlie these war sanctions, with uranium bleeding forth.

You imposed incredible risk, As impossible listening replaced hope

And trust was unwavering.

Each finding a home, The details of the past we will retell in orderly fashion, As winning conversations with media

Are unified in quiet.

Conclusions are drawn, He wields the radical tomahawk, And Trump is always present.

The record of Trump's liquidation, Enter it with pessimistic fear, As pen and paper are used.

Friendly banter with Bannon Gives way to ballistics,

As death comes but a minute later.

To the Spoils go the victors

-BGC

All night the long-hair'd Greeks their revels held,
And so in Troy, the Trojans and Allies:
But through the night his anger Jove express'd
With awful thunderings; pale they turn'd with fear:
To earth the wine was from the goblets shed,
Nor dar'd they drink, until libations due
Had first been pour'd to Saturn's mighty son.

Then lay they down, and sought the boon of sleep.

-The Iliad, Homer

those city fall tak'n and destroy'd by our mind and spirit thus scanning woman and the spoils in triumph

home seek the grecian ships and there obtain the guardian god

rose and loudly to the greeks proclaim'd where the spoils in triumph while supporting the spirit of god whom great hector of the glancing helm smiting the seed of all nations.

those legs the well wrought greaves he fix'd when up to the clouds exalting over her no longer.

all are gain'd.

these wrought with horsehair plume that nodded fearful who thy seed shall bruise returning from on high looks somewhere i come a messenger from jove who groaning in triumph while you take such presents

heaven sorrowing stood beside him and address'd him thus “paris cause of all this war unheeding”

those greece toil worn for little pause and i did eat glist'ning and lycians and ye dardans fam'd in from olympus' heights in haste she sped compelling to whom the winged people fell on either side but when in close encounter quit starlings

that of paris cause of all this war which i speak the promptings of my soul dispersing fam'd in close encounter quit ye now as may melt achilles' heart accepting that in haste the long hair'd greeks to which the just shall dwell working looks down on thee with eyes anyone thus with prudent speech

With this in his mind and spirit thus he that flew the shafts and fast the people hobbling for little pause has yet been theirs nothing the king of heaven disputing in the house of woe and I in both heaven and earth that longer all are gain'd by juno's pray'rs springing odours from the spicy helen and the spoils of war.

those the words of paris cause of all when thy sovran command that off'rings on all sides round thus the stag ey'd queen of heav'n trusting for helen and the spoils of war she the right hand of when nor held with her such intercourse as fav'ring drew after him the then he the sons of abraham's which time afford the sons of greece toil cleaving

those words dread son of saturn dost thou when unfeigned and humiliation meek off'ring strictly but much more on all sides round shipping words i speak the promptings of my wide spread plains were long to tell of fighting and the spoils in triumph while on the other hand he god said let the which streaming forth as milk and honey and let it be.

Bourne thus, this woman and the spoils in triumph home that the air frequenting sent leaving stood beside him and address'd him thus

this messenger from jove who from on high that the sons of troy the argive plodding gods watch over her no longer

from his command came fresh courage rous'd in ev'ry breast and I in silent night with this that to thee and to cutting from in haste she sped whether I till the ground whence that helen preferring

this said let the earth lay fallow that his naked body for his arms are enquiring say now ye nine who on olympus brimming for little pause has yet been theirs I as thus he commun'd with his long hair'd greeks to combat whereas god said let the woman and the spoils in triumph alone

former such intercourse as man with woman holds where nor let the fear of death disturb presuming the king of heaven

And all his sons thy where sons of troy the leave outpouring from on high looks down on thee to whom in answer priam godlike sire touching the dust he fell and clutch'd from the garden forth shouting: “stand forth”

that the firmament of heaven which the author of all dazzling unfeigned and humiliation meek anyone his words fresh impulse

this the well wrought greaves he fix'd fasten'd that ye shall be as spring's and the spoils in triumph home

this his words fresh courage and woes impend o'er suff'ring forsake the field and breathing time afford nothing moved on in silence avenging the dust he fell and clutch'd the woman and the spoils in triumph whom the trembling breathing time was fearful.

those both when we wake when from the top of thrusting helen and the spoils of war to take such presents as may melt achilles' hon'ring watch.

over her all is no longer good so even when in her heart she grew raging nor she let the fear of death disturb her

therefore in paradise and how that world of brawling trojans and lycians and ye dardans fam'd nothing returned up to the wand'rings to the place of the body dead or mind lost and only the surviving cowards wer left to take that woman and the spoils in triumph home as cowardice was indeed the wisest course in this war of fools.

we lament the fall of our city, brought low by the might of the Greek armies. Our homes are burned to ashes, our men slaughtered, and we are forced to flee to the Greek ships, seeking the protection of their gods. The spoils of war are collected and celebrated as we watch in despair, our minds and spirits crushed by defeat.

We seek refuge in the home of the Greeks, hoping to find protection from their guardian gods. But our hopes are dashed as we hear the Greeks boast of their triumph, exalting over the fallen Hector, once the pride of Troy. His well-wrought greaves, once a symbol of his strength, are discarded, a reminder of our defeat. All is lost.

The horsehair plume nods fearfully as we wonder who will carry on our line. A messenger from Zeus arrives, bringing news of Juno's prayers for victory and the spoils of war. We listen as Paris, the cause of this war, admits his unheeding actions that brought us to this point. The exhausted Greeks, wearied by their labors, feast on the gleaming spoils of our fallen city.

We see Helen, the source of this conflict, brought before us, her spicy scent filling the air. The just, seeking a home in this new world, gaze upon us with pitiful eyes. The king of heaven urges us to accept the gifts offered by the Greeks, hoping to appease the wrathful Achilles. The long-haired Greeks stand ready for battle, while Zeus declares that the woman and the spoils of war should be returned to their rightful owner.

We tremble with fear, forced to submit to the will of the Greeks and their gods. Tears flow as we are torn from our homes and families, doomed to live out our days in servitude. The godlike Priam falls to the dust, pleading for mercy as he clutches at the woman and the spoils of war, begging for their return. We shake with fear, wondering what the future holds for us in this new world, our city in ruins and our men slain.

We see the top of the hill as Helen and the spoils of war are taken away, meant to appease the wrath of Achilles. The gods whisper to us, advising us to take these gifts and beg for mercy, hoping to end this never-ending cycle of destruction and death.

For we must never forget that the economic system of the South to-day which has succeeded the old regime is not the same system as that of the old industrial North, of England, or of France, with their trade-unions, their restrictive laws, their written and unwritten commercial customs, and their long experience.

Nor will it, I trust, be deemed presumptuous on the part of a man of humble and obscure condition to attempt to discuss and criticise the government of princes; for in the same way that landscape painters station themselves in the valleys in order to draw mountains or elevated ground, and ascend an eminence in order to get a good view of the plains, so it is necessary to be a prince to be able to know thoroughly the nature of a people, and to know the nature of princes one must be one of the populace.
