=== Roman Colosseum Insights (08:45) ===

[00:00:02]  Rob Dew reporting for Infowars.com and Infowars Nightly News.
[00:00:07]  I wanted to show you guys a view of my room.
[00:00:09]  This is right inside my little hotel room.
[00:00:14]  It's basically three very small apartment rooms, and we get served a little breakfast in the morning.
[00:00:22]  Not extravagant, but you can't beat the view.
[00:00:25]  I mean, if you want history, look no further than the Roman Colosseum.
[00:00:30]  It began being built in 72 A.D. by the Emperor Vespasian.
[00:00:36]  It was completed about eight years later by the Emperor Titus.
[00:00:42]  And it held, they say, between 50,000 to 80,000 people.
[00:00:46]  They had gladiatorial matches, sea battles.
[00:00:49]  They would flood water in the bottom of the Colosseum and do naval battles.
[00:00:56]  They had famous land battles.
[00:00:57]  They would do hunts with animals.
[00:00:59]  Just plain old executions, and they'd even do some drama every once in a while.
[00:01:04]  But what people really liked was the killing.
[00:01:06]  They loved the gladiatorial events.
[00:01:09]  And as Rome fell further and further into decay, they would have more and more and more events.
[00:01:14]  They would have them for 200 straight days of just killing people, Christians, having gladiatorial contests, and you name it, they were doing it.
[00:01:25]  And it was all to keep the public distracted on what was really going on.
[00:01:29]  So you could say that this is a monument to the biggest distraction on Earth, right here.
[00:01:37]  And you can see they have scaffolding built on the sides.
[00:01:40]  They're doing some repair work.
[00:01:42]  I think what they actually do is drill holes and then insert concrete in there to keep it from falling apart.
[00:01:51]  But there only seems to be a scaffold on one side.
[00:01:57]  But back to the distraction.
[00:01:58]  This is their number one tourist destination in Rome.
[00:02:01]  Even today, people flock to it.
[00:02:04]  And it is super hot out there, let me tell you.
[00:02:06]  It is Texas-level heat.
[00:02:09]  The sun feels a little hotter out here.
[00:02:12]  It really just burns your skin.
[00:02:15]  And I was out there for a good three, four hours today.
[00:02:19]  I'll show you what I look like now.
[00:02:21]  I'm a little tired, a little sweaty.
[00:02:24]  You know, I felt I had to do this report.
[00:02:26]  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.
[00:02:37]  They were trying to...
[00:02:38]  they distract you with this beautiful architecture and these crazy shapes that are buildings.
[00:02:45]  And inside, while some of the stuff may be okay...
[00:02:49]  They have an agenda in there, and it's to promote eugenics and race cleansing.
[00:02:52]  And that's something that we always have to be on the lookout and at least recognize it when it's there.
[00:02:57]  Go back to the Coliseum.
[00:03:00]  There's traffic 24 hours driving by here.
[00:03:04]  But I don't mind.
[00:03:05]  It was great waking up in the morning and seeing the sun rise on the Coliseum.
[00:03:10]  And it was quite a trip to get here.
[00:03:12]  And there's ruins in the back.
[00:03:15]  This is the whole Forum area.
[00:03:18]  There's acres and acres of old ruins.
[00:03:22]  It's a really interesting area.
[00:03:23]  I can't wait to explore more of it.
[00:03:26]  But getting back to Italy and how it's doing on our investigation.
[00:03:30]  When we landed, we were waiting for our luggage.
[00:03:32]  It took almost two hours for the luggage to arrive from the plane.
[00:03:37]  I thought that was a little extreme.
[00:03:39]  But it just goes to show you that they probably don't have enough workers working the luggage carriers.
[00:03:45]  I went to get a coffee.
[00:03:48]  It pops down, and water comes out, and then a spoon.
[00:03:53]  A cup came out too, but no coffee.
[00:03:55]  There's no out-of-order sign.
[00:03:58]  I saw three other people use that coffee machine and not get any coffee.
[00:04:02]  And you look at the reports that the mafia has infiltrated the local Roman government.
[00:04:09]  Mainly through weird contracts, overbidding contracts.
[00:04:13]  So they're just siphoning money out of the central government.
[00:04:16]  So then there's no money for things like trash pickup.
[00:04:19]  Although, from where I've been, I haven't seen anything too out of the ordinary.
[00:04:26]  No overflowing giant trash bins or anything.
[00:04:29]  I haven't seen that, but I will report on that if I do see it.
[00:04:32]  But I talked to a guy last night, right when I got in.
[00:04:35]  He was my roommate.
[00:04:36]  He actually stayed up out front waiting for me because they knew I was going to be a little late.
[00:04:42]  And he is Italian.
[00:04:46]  And I said, well, how is your government doing?
[00:04:49]  There's trash collection going on right now.
[00:04:51]  I said, how's the economy?
[00:04:54]  He said, it's scheisse, as they say in German.
[00:05:00]  I said, is it worse than Greece's?
[00:05:02]  He said...
[00:05:03]  Much worse than Greece's.
[00:05:04]  We have way more debt.
[00:05:06]  We can't pay it back.
[00:05:08]  And he said there's just so much corruption here that he couldn't believe it.
[00:05:13]  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.
[00:05:22]  He said Italians don't follow the law.
[00:05:24]  There's an old saying about that.
[00:05:26]  And that was coming from an Italian, not from me.
[00:05:29]  But it was interesting.
[00:05:31]  He said they were much worse off than Greece as I was pulling my luggage in.
[00:05:34]  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.
[00:05:40]  There's a Centurion.
[00:05:43]  Probably going to come out and pose for pictures.
[00:05:46]  Probably.
[00:05:47]  It's probably his sole employment right there, is dressing up like that guy and going out into...
[00:05:54]  Into the Coliseum grounds to do battle.
[00:05:57]  There were also soldiers at the Coliseum.
[00:06:00]  I shot some footage of that.
[00:06:01]  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.
[00:06:14]  These guys had submachine guns.
[00:06:16]  There was an attack here a few weeks ago.
[00:06:18]  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.
[00:06:24]  But this is what's going on.
[00:06:26]  There's other instances where the Italians are really angry about the immigration policies here.
[00:06:31]  They're just bringing them in, which was part of the agenda of Bilderberg.
[00:06:35]  I was talking about how they're going to deal with the immigration problem.
[00:06:39]  Well, they're just going to let them in and find places for them.
[00:06:42]  In fact, actually, the Colosseum, after it stopped being used in medieval times, was used...
[00:06:47]  For temporary housing for people.
[00:06:50]  And they used it for other purposes.
[00:06:53]  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.
[00:07:04]  So you have to overcome those distractions.
[00:07:06]  And that's where I guess the true measure of what humans are.
[00:07:11]  Are we going to let ourselves be distracted?
[00:07:13]  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.
[00:07:22]  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.
[00:07:32]  Or any other distraction that can come along.
[00:07:35]  Whether it be somebody who says the N-word, like Hulk Hogan.
[00:07:38]  I mean, they just...
[00:07:39]  They want to take every little thing that doesn't matter and try to blow it up into something that matters.
[00:07:44]  But you look at what Italy has become and Rome has become.
[00:07:50]  This is the greatest city on earth at one time.
[00:07:52]  And it has fallen into ruin.
[00:07:55]  And from talking with a couple locals, they don't seem to think there's any change coming back out of it.
[00:08:00]  Same in Spain.
[00:08:01]  While on the surface, the IMF says, hey, it's doing great.
[00:08:04]  We think there's going to be less unemployment.
[00:08:09]  I think anything less than 25% is, you know, you're not doing too good.
[00:08:13]  You've got to get it down to, you know, 3%, 4% if you're lucky.
[00:08:18]  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.
[00:08:27]  I actually bought water from a guy for two euros here.
[00:08:31]  He wanted three euros.

=== Window Frame Time Lapse (00:47) ===

[00:08:33]  I said, no, I'm not giving you three euros for a little water.
[00:08:36]  I said, I don't care how cold it is.
[00:08:37]  He goes, okay, two.
[00:08:39]  It's probably what he wanted anyway.
[00:08:41]  And that's just the way they haggle.
[00:08:42]  They're good little hagglers here.
[00:08:44]  But anyway, I just wanted to show you guys a view of my room.
[00:08:48]  And actually, if you pull back, you can actually see the window frame.
[00:08:51]  It's the window frame from the inside of my room.
[00:08:54]  I've got the GoPro going.
[00:08:55]  I should have a pretty amazing time lapse.
[00:08:57]  I've been running it since about 8 this morning.
[00:09:01]  And let's see what time it is now.
[00:09:03]  It's 2.43.
[00:09:06]  So, anyway, there's your look at the Roman Colosseum.
[00:09:09]  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.
