"The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall." - Marcus Tullius Cicero
After the death of Caesar, Cicero opposed Marc Antony and told anyone who would listen that the fall of their industrial military complex was upon them. Antony then had Cicero found and killed. Not long after his death, Rome fell.
