Roman Colosseum Insights 00:08:45
Rob Dew reporting for Infowars.com and Infowars Nightly News.
I wanted to show you guys a view of my room.
This is right inside my little hotel room.
It's basically three very small apartment rooms, and we get served a little breakfast in the morning.
Not extravagant, but you can't beat the view.
I mean, if you want history, look no further than the Roman Colosseum.
It began being built in 72 A.D. by the Emperor Vespasian.
It was completed about eight years later by the Emperor Titus.
And it held, they say, between 50,000 to 80,000 people.
They had gladiatorial matches, sea battles.
They would flood water in the bottom of the Colosseum and do naval battles.
They had famous land battles.
They would do hunts with animals.
Just plain old executions, and they'd even do some drama every once in a while.
But what people really liked was the killing.
They loved the gladiatorial events.
And as Rome fell further and further into decay, they would have more and more and more events.
They would have them for 200 straight days of just killing people, Christians, having gladiatorial contests, and you name it, they were doing it.
And it was all to keep the public distracted on what was really going on.
So you could say that this is a monument to the biggest distraction on Earth, right here.
And you can see they have scaffolding built on the sides.
They're doing some repair work.
I think what they actually do is drill holes and then insert concrete in there to keep it from falling apart.
But there only seems to be a scaffold on one side.
But back to the distraction.
This is their number one tourist destination in Rome.
Even today, people flock to it.
And it is super hot out there, let me tell you.
It is Texas-level heat.
The sun feels a little hotter out here.
It really just burns your skin.
And I was out there for a good three, four hours today.
I'll show you what I look like now.
I'm a little tired, a little sweaty.
You know, I felt I had to do this report.
I just put up one on the Alex Jones channel talking about a museum complex that I went to and discovered that they were using it to promote eugenics.
They were trying to...
they distract you with this beautiful architecture and these crazy shapes that are buildings.
And inside, while some of the stuff may be okay...
They have an agenda in there, and it's to promote eugenics and race cleansing.
And that's something that we always have to be on the lookout and at least recognize it when it's there.
Go back to the Coliseum.
There's traffic 24 hours driving by here.
But I don't mind.
It was great waking up in the morning and seeing the sun rise on the Coliseum.
And it was quite a trip to get here.
And there's ruins in the back.
This is the whole Forum area.
There's acres and acres of old ruins.
It's a really interesting area.
I can't wait to explore more of it.
But getting back to Italy and how it's doing on our investigation.
When we landed, we were waiting for our luggage.
It took almost two hours for the luggage to arrive from the plane.
I thought that was a little extreme.
But it just goes to show you that they probably don't have enough workers working the luggage carriers.
I went to get a coffee.
It pops down, and water comes out, and then a spoon.
A cup came out too, but no coffee.
There's no out-of-order sign.
I saw three other people use that coffee machine and not get any coffee.
And you look at the reports that the mafia has infiltrated the local Roman government.
Mainly through weird contracts, overbidding contracts.
So they're just siphoning money out of the central government.
So then there's no money for things like trash pickup.
Although, from where I've been, I haven't seen anything too out of the ordinary.
No overflowing giant trash bins or anything.
I haven't seen that, but I will report on that if I do see it.
But I talked to a guy last night, right when I got in.
He was my roommate.
He actually stayed up out front waiting for me because they knew I was going to be a little late.
And he is Italian.
And I said, well, how is your government doing?
There's trash collection going on right now.
I said, how's the economy?
He said, it's scheisse, as they say in German.
I said, is it worse than Greece's?
He said...
Much worse than Greece's.
We have way more debt.
We can't pay it back.
And he said there's just so much corruption here that he couldn't believe it.
And he said the reason they don't have bailouts and stuff here is because they know, or more bailouts, they know Italians aren't going to follow the rules anyway.
He said Italians don't follow the law.
There's an old saying about that.
And that was coming from an Italian, not from me.
But it was interesting.
He said they were much worse off than Greece as I was pulling my luggage in.
And it was about 1.30 in the morning, so I didn't pull out my camera and interview him, but he does live around here.
There's a Centurion.
Probably going to come out and pose for pictures.
Probably.
It's probably his sole employment right there, is dressing up like that guy and going out into...
Into the Coliseum grounds to do battle.
There were also soldiers at the Coliseum.
I shot some footage of that.
I didn't get right up in their face because of what happened in Spain where I was just shooting them in the corner of my frame and they freaked out and wanted me to erase all my footage.
These guys had submachine guns.
There was an attack here a few weeks ago.
With a guy who was yelling, Allah is great, and he held a knife to a woman's neck, and he was able to be stopped by police.
But this is what's going on.
There's other instances where the Italians are really angry about the immigration policies here.
They're just bringing them in, which was part of the agenda of Bilderberg.
I was talking about how they're going to deal with the immigration problem.
Well, they're just going to let them in and find places for them.
In fact, actually, the Colosseum, after it stopped being used in medieval times, was used...
For temporary housing for people.
And they used it for other purposes.
It just goes to show you that you have giant distractions like this to keep you from thinking about the real problems in your world and in your life.
So you have to overcome those distractions.
And that's where I guess the true measure of what humans are.
Are we going to let ourselves be distracted?
Not by just the Coliseum, but all these events that are going on that have no really big sense in the big picture, like Caitlyn Jenner.
Doesn't really matter, but we're going to be hearing about Caitlyn Jenner and who her boyfriends or girlfriends are for the next five years until that media contract wears out.
Or any other distraction that can come along.
Whether it be somebody who says the N-word, like Hulk Hogan.
I mean, they just...
They want to take every little thing that doesn't matter and try to blow it up into something that matters.
But you look at what Italy has become and Rome has become.
This is the greatest city on earth at one time.
And it has fallen into ruin.
And from talking with a couple locals, they don't seem to think there's any change coming back out of it.
Same in Spain.
While on the surface, the IMF says, hey, it's doing great.
We think there's going to be less unemployment.
I think anything less than 25% is, you know, you're not doing too good.
You've got to get it down to, you know, 3%, 4% if you're lucky.
And they just don't have enough jobs available for people, which is why you have people walking around the beach, you know, selling beers for a euro.
I actually bought water from a guy for two euros here.
He wanted three euros.
Window Frame Time Lapse 00:00:47
I said, no, I'm not giving you three euros for a little water.
I said, I don't care how cold it is.
He goes, okay, two.
It's probably what he wanted anyway.
And that's just the way they haggle.
They're good little hagglers here.
But anyway, I just wanted to show you guys a view of my room.
And actually, if you pull back, you can actually see the window frame.
It's the window frame from the inside of my room.
I've got the GoPro going.
I should have a pretty amazing time lapse.
I've been running it since about 8 this morning.
And let's see what time it is now.
It's 2.43.
So, anyway, there's your look at the Roman Colosseum.
That's what I get to wake up to for the next few days, and it looks like I've got a text message, so I need to check it.
