Puddle of Mudd - Drift and Die

A buddy of mine once told me about a painting in Wa D.C. (Inc.).

It, the painting, was representative of the war of 1812(?). Depicted was the English leaving on boats - allegedly having been defeated by the Americans. The point he, my friend was making was to pose the question: Why would a defeated army be holding their arms up with guns in hand if they were defeated?

Gets me thinking of the war castle/nation states. They are (or were, since things ARE shifting):
Washington DC - War - now imported (world-wide and) on it's own people - w/CV_i9.
London UK - Finance - the British lb.'s used to be the currency of value.
Rome - Religion - controlling the multitudes by way of beLIEfs.

If you've read any other video comments, you might find me sort of anti-religious. My personal thing about belief is that KNOWledge, is well beyond belief or faith. Not gonna judge your view(s), and they are allowed and valid. However.. well, there's more to it than I can type out in under 3 minutes. Just give it some thought:

War- Control by conquer
Finance - Control by value (real/imagined).
Religion - Control by beLIEf.

Sort of lacking.. the video I was hoping to share, had this guy (link), but it was a series done called War Castles - and I think the info and background given was better than the following:

However it does touch upon what I am attempting to get at. Hope you got the attention span. It's great info about Maritime law vs. law of the Land.
