The ‘Sword of Damocles’ is an ancient moral parable featured in the book “Tusculan Disputations” written by the Roman philosopher Cicero in 45 B.C. Cicero’s focus is the tyrannical king Dionysius, who in the fourth and fifth centuries B.C. ruled over the city Syracuse in Sicily.

An iron fist to enforce tyrannical rule caused Dionysius to have many political enemies leading to constant fears of assassination.
In the parable, Dionysius is dismayed by a court flatterer named Damocles, who showered the tyrant in remarks about his posh and lavish lifestyle as a king.
In his annoyance, Dionysius asks Damocles,“Since this life delights you, do you wish to taste it yourself and make a trial of my good fortune?”
In his experience, as Damocles slipped into the daydream of ruling a kingdom, he observed a razor-sharp sword dangling from the ceiling directly above Dionysius’ bed where he laid his head and where it dangled by a single strand of horse hair.
The fear for his own life made it impossible for Dionysius “to savor the opulence of the feast or enjoy the servants.”
Cicero’s tale of Dionysius and Damocles was for him emblematic of the constant pressure of anxiety and death experienced by those in power and where “there can be no happiness for one who is under constant apprehensions.”
At a United Nations speech in 1961, President John F. Kennedy said with respect to what would become the Cuban Missile Crisis, “Every man, woman and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident or miscalculation or by madness.”

A 31 Jan 24 piece featured at Zero Hedge and penned by Off-Guardian posed a question in its title: Is ‘World War 3’ Really On The Horizon?
The article poses another question getting to the crux of the matter:
Is it possible they are dangling a nuclear Sword of Damocles over the world in order to scare people into embracing “world peace” through a global new world order?“
Off-Guardian
The author’s question is the obvious basis for the title of this piece so credit goes where credit is due [noting that the parable has been discussed before.]
The article goes on to state that, “There’s a lot of “World War Three” in the news right now…” further going on to provide several recent quotations from people who matter indicating that’s exactly what’s happening.
This is also the exact moment that the author’s analysis goes off the rails, but only slightly and only as it applies to the timeline, which is the spine to the whole thing.
For one, what the author has identified is pretext; however, it’s pretext that is several years late and draws down to the exact date of 19 Dec 20.
19 Dec 20 marked a point in time that an abundance of evidence examined in the analysis here was indicating that a newly and fraudulently installed Biden Administration, its Intelligence Community principal and their mainstream media propaganda arm were engaged in establishing the pretext for a Biden foreign policy shift.
Specifically, the Biden foreign policy shift identified was away from the Trump Administration’s appropriate hyper-focus on China and the CCP and back to the Western Empire’s [and its NATO enforcement arm] favorite boogeyman, Russia.
Importantly, that analysis encapsulates the entire matter of COVID-19 as a mechanism of enterprise fraud and platform for biowarfare by the CCP and domestic hostiles.
The last article lays all of that out in review:
Most importantly, what that article does is revert back to 19 Dec 20 in order to move forward.
In straight war analysis, it’s nearing 200 pieces and if COVID-19 factors in as biowarfare, the full corpus of analysis and evidence stands at around 500 items.
Inside each piece is a multitude of primary and secondary source evidence to underpin the analysis.
Inside the full corpus, the analysis stays on straight rails with consistent dialogue underpinned by an expansive and growing catalog of evidence.
The volume of that accurate analysis will play an important role here, momentarily.
The article does a very particular thing: it incrementally and sequentially moves through time to establish a chronology of primary and secondary source evidence indicating an escalating march to a thermonuclear World War III on several specific fronts: Russia/Ukraine, China/Taiwan/South China Sea and the Middle East/Iran/Iraq/Syria, etc.
I will continue to say this until I don’t have to anymore or I’m dead, whichever comes first: A lot of other folks make accurate projections contained in accurate analysis but it’s almost always late and often by years, which is why the analysis here keeps you ahead of the curve by the same years.
The evidence for that substantiated claim is once again reviewed in the above-linked article.
Digressing, the answers to the author’s questions are patently obvious.
Yes, World War III is really on the horizon.
Yes, the thermonuclear Sword of Damocles is hanging over our heads.
Longstanding analysis positions Syria as the kinetic flashpoint for World War III acknowledging our discussions of other plausible flashpoints.
The importance of Syria is understood by its proxy status to Iran relative to the development of rogue nuclear arms including former Barack Obama’s funding of the Iranians with pallets of cash in a basket of currencies.
It was the same Obama that purged the military of hundreds of upper brass officers deemed to be off-reservation for the Intelligence Community and too bound to their Constitutional oaths.
The net effect is a rogue nuclear arsenal that functions like a global bargaining chip to whip nation states into desired geopolitical positions and the same template overlays North Korea [this is all review back to 2020 analysis.]
Overlay that analysis with this development from last night:
The distinction between the analysis at Off-Guardian and Moonshine is also patently obvious and it’s the four-year gap in the timeline for that analysis.
It is imperative to discern the nuanced distinction of what I’m saying here if it’s not been discerned already.
Here’s that distinction based on the assumption that a thermonuclear World War III currently dangles over our heads from a single strand.
Both sets of analysis reach the same conclusion and one of them is backed by a corpus of thousands of pages of the same analysis documenting the years-long, step-by-step march to this very point.
At this very point and as the author has noted, the propaganda arm has intensified the narrative around World War III on the exactly projected timeline featuring the loose bookend of the 2024 election.
The analysis holds that WWIII practically falls into a window of time defined by two ends: 1-interceding on the 2024 elections to prevent them from being held and ushering former President Donald Trump back into the Executive [assuming he’s still on the ballot and it wasn’t stolen for Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom] and 2-a post-election flashpoint in the first several months after the January 2025 inauguration.
If history repeats itself as it tends to do and on the assumption that President Trump is in the Executive, according to the 1981 Reagan timeline, the worst-case scenario would be the assassination or attempt thereof of President Trump followed by the outbreak of World War III as the deflection point away from it.
It would be at that moment sometime around March 2025 that Marxist communism would be forever galvanized in the former United States of America.
It would also be at that moment that the actual purpose of the unmitigated illegal immigration of 12+ million people into the U.S. as a fifth column would be fully understood.
A Trojan Horse of widespread terror executed by millions of infidels already inside CONUS and the backdrop of thermonuclear detonations will certainly derail any national dialogue about a magic bullet, a grassy knoll or a dead president like it did for the IC when it factored-out JFK.
Not to mention the myriad ways to assassinate with ease where those ways aren’t detectable.
That scenario began with”If” meaning that it’s hypothetical and not one that I’m saying will happen but rather could plausibly happen.
If I were evil and I were looking to do what I think they’re trying to do, that’s how I’d do it.
The utilitarian value of anything is an excellent lens for learning about that thing.
The point is that when so much incremental escalation and narrative propagation has brought us to the exact moment established in the pretext years ago; and when we arrive on the exact projected schedule; and now others are starting to see what is already contained in our archives; it means that the thermonuclear Sword of Damocles is dangling over our heads by a single strand of horse hair and perhaps unwitting to most, it’s been there for years.
Most concerning is the decision of the U.S. Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense to target the long projected kinetic flashpoint of Syria as informed by the Biden/Russia pivot in late 2020 and the fact set around Syria’s longstanding diplomatic and military relations with Russia.
Puzzle pieces don’t fit together so precisely if the puzzle’s picture isn’t clearly seen.
Lastly and asked but not answered is this: Is the thermonuclear Sword of Damocles functioning “in order to scare people into embracing “world peace” through a global new world order?
Any “global new world order” requires an enforcement mechanism, which is Marxist communism, which in this day and age equates to living on a technocratic global plantation.
Search “technocratic global plantation” at Moonshine and it’ll rack-up another 70 articles for reading.
With all my breath, I’ve been screaming about this designed march and escalation to a manufactured World War III and now the message echoes from others.
Beyond hollering, it’s also arduously evidenced in a copious amount of analysis.
A thermonuclear Sword of Damocles is dangling over our heads by a single strand of horse hair and Cicero reminds us how the Intelligence Community uses the constant threat of chaos and fear to elicit emotional control over a population that writ large fails to think independently and critically.
The fear and anxiety of an ever-present and escalating World War III will seem like summer vacation if humanity’s mindless march arrives at its kinetic flashpoint.
If that happens, it will be a result of humanity being sick; sick of the mind, and consequently too meek, timid and afraid to rise-up and intercede on the minority of abject psychopaths intent on depopulating the world and enslaving the survivors.
World War III dangles.
World War III started with bioweapons.
By all measures, it will end with thermonuclear weapons.
Unless we all want to do something about that.
-End-
Be all this as it may, I will continue to live my life with courage, with Love and joy in all the blessedness that this earthly incarnation offers.
The Sword of Damocles dangles... and We the People suffer a “demented, criminal puppet-pretender posturing in the Oval Office.
Dangerous business.
