What if Anakin Skywalker EMBRACED Being The Chosen One
D
8:59Darth TheoristHOST
He takes them to active conflict zones, where rival factions quarrel with each other over where corporations try to expand their influence upon helpless worlds.
D
9:07Darth TheoristHOST
All of these places are neglected by the Jedi, all because the Senate does not deem them important enough.
D
9:12Darth TheoristHOST
As they talk to the people, they all discuss the same thing, how the Jedi have gone distant.
D
9:17Darth TheoristHOST
They rule far away from Coruscant and leave the people there to suffer.
D
11:20Darth TheoristHOST
As Dooku steps back and Obi-Wan takes over his training, many in the Jedi Order decide that Anakin is ready to take part in missions.
D
11:26Darth TheoristHOST
Not only does this allow him to cut his teeth on the battlefield, these are missions in support of the Republic rather than simply being mercy missions.
D
11:34Darth TheoristHOST
They are sanctioned by the Senate and are careful to avoid causing too much controversy with their methods.
D
11:39Darth TheoristHOST
This keeps the pair busy, but allows Dooku to abandon the Jedi Order without anyone noticing.
Finland and the Tsars, 1809-1899-Joseph R. Fisher
A
73:32AlistairNARRATOR
The reason is no doubt that, as we have said, the document had been approved and signed by him on the previous night, and the speech was, in its author's mind, a kind of oratorical appendix to it.
A
73:46AlistairNARRATOR
For the great ceremonial of the following day, of which a painted representation hangs in the Senate House at Helsingfors, no schoolroom or hall in the so-called palace would suffice.
A
73:59AlistairNARRATOR
The whole ceremonial was elaborately drawn up under Alexander's personal direction and signed with his approval.
A
74:06AlistairNARRATOR
The Cathedral of Borgo was chosen, the sanctuary of the Supreme Being, as he afterwards called it, as the place where a Tsar of Russia should for the first time solemnly pledge himself and his successors to maintain a constitutional government in one of the lands under his sceptre, and where the representatives of his new subjects, having heard the pledge, should in return take the oath of homage to their Grand Duke.

109:27AlistairNARRATOR
It had not to alter or reform the existing law, but rather, taking the administration of the country as it had been carried on when Finland and Sweden were one, it had to bring that administration into conformity with the new order of things.
A
109:43AlistairNARRATOR
To this end the Emperor, in accordance with the Swedish constitutional practice, laid certain propositions before the Diet concerning the future affairs of the country and the best means to regulate them in a manner applicable to the new situation of Finland and to the circumstances in their different combinations.
A
110:04AlistairNARRATOR
The Tsar's propositions to the Diet dealt with the future military organization of the country, the revenue, the coinage, and the formation of the Conseil de Régence, or Government Council, a local body which, since 1816, has been called the Senate.
A
110:21AlistairNARRATOR
This latter is one of Finland's peculiar institutions.
Gracchi, Marius and Sulla-A. H. Beesly
P
17:11Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
In 232 B.C. Flaminius carried a law for the distribution of land taken from the Senones among the plebs.
P
17:19Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Though the law turned out no possessors, it was opposed by the Senate and nobles.
P
17:25Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Nor is this surprising, for any law distributing land was both actually and as a precedent a blow to the interests of the class which practiced occupation.
P
17:37Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
What is at first sight surprising is that small parcels of land, such as must have been assigned in these distributions, should have been so coveted.
16 MINS LATER
P
33:49Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
But when the fall of Carthage freed Rome from all rivals and conquest after conquest filled the treasury, increased luxury made the means of ostentation more greedily sought.
P
34:02Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Office meant plunder, and to gain office men bribed and bribed every day on a vaster scale.
P
34:10Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
If we said that optimates signified the men who bribed and abused office under the banner of the Senate and its connections, and that populares meant men who bribed and abused office with the interests of the people outside the senatorial pale upon their lips, we might do injustice to many good men on both sides, but should hardly be slandering the parties.
P
34:34Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Parties in fact they were not; they were factions, and the fact that it is by no means easy always to decide how far individuals were swayed by good or bad motives, where good motives were so often paraded to mask base actions, does not disguise their despicable character.
From the Foundation of the City Vol. 01-Titus Livius
M
67:34Mark HarringtonNARRATOR
For, by the strength which it acquired under his management, it became so respectable that, during forty years after, it enjoyed profound peace and security.
M
67:45Mark HarringtonNARRATOR
He stood, however, much higher in the favor of the people than he did in that of the senate, and was yet more beloved by his army.
M
67:53Mark HarringtonNARRATOR
He established a bodyguard of three hundred men, whom he called Celeres; and these he kept constantly about his person, in time of peace as well as war.
M
68:05Mark HarringtonNARRATOR
Such were his achievements in his mortal state.
M
71:45Mark HarringtonNARRATOR
On the other hand, the original Romans spurned the thought of a foreigner being placed on the throne.
M
71:51Mark HarringtonNARRATOR
Notwithstanding this diversity in their views, yet all concurred in wishing for a king; for they had not yet tasted the sweets of liberty.
M
72:00Mark HarringtonNARRATOR
The senate now began to fear, lest, as the sentiments of many of the neighboring states were very unfriendly towards them, some foreign power might attack them, while the state was destitute of a government, and the army destitute of a commander.
M
72:14Mark HarringtonNARRATOR
Every one, therefore, was desirous that there should be some head, but no one party could be induced to give way to another.
Byzantine Empire-Charles William Chadwick Oman
S
53:55speaker_6NARRATOR
Of paganism there was no trace in it, save a few of the old temples of the Byzantines, spared when the older streets were leveled to clear the ground for the palace and adjoining buildings.
S
54:09speaker_6NARRATOR
The statues of the gods which adorned the baths and senate house stood there as works of art, not as objects of worship.
S
54:18speaker_6NARRATOR
To fill the vast limits of his city, Constantine invited many senators of old Rome and many rich provincial proprietors of Greece and Asia to take up their abode in it, granting them places in his new senate and sites for the dwellings they would require.
S
54:36speaker_6NARRATOR
The countless officers and functionaries of the imperial court, with their subordinates and slaves, must have composed a very considerable element in the new population.
S
54:49speaker_6NARRATOR
The artisans and handicraftsmen were enticed in thousands by the offer of special privileges.

139:57Robert HoffmanNARRATOR
But the rioters, showing the same pluck that the Byzantine mob displayed against the soldiers of Ganis a hundred and twenty-five years before, offered a stout resistance.
R
140:07Robert HoffmanNARRATOR
The main fighting took place around the great square of the Augustium, between the imperial palace and the hippodrome.
R
140:14Robert HoffmanNARRATOR
In the heat of the fight the rebels set fire to the brazen porch by the senate house.

Maybe they were working with them and that they branched off and didn't share a lot of information because there's very little information besides what we have with the redacted reports of the FBI.
S

But the Shea memorandum is huge because it actually names names.
S
141:29speaker_46GUEST
And Gerald Shea, what he did was basically on his own dime, run an independent investigation on all the police reports from the southwest to northeast regarding all these israeli intelligence rings that were operating as art student rates and basically he gave this document to the national commission on terrorist attacks known as the 911 uh commission and the senate and house committees on intelligence as well as the joint house inquiry and they basically did

Episode 476 : The Fall of Bob Packwood (part 10) Second Bonus speech To the City Club of Portland Sept 10, 2010 - Dole 17
B
15:57Bob PackwoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In these days, in the 60s, you'd be amazed at the bipartisan coalitions you had in the legislature.
B
16:04Bob PackwoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Some of you may remember that from roughly 1957 to 1972 in the state senate, the democrats controlled the state senate every year.
B
16:13Bob PackwoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And the senate president was always a coalition leader.
B
16:17Bob PackwoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
of what I would call moderate or conservative Democrats and Republicans.
B
16:20Bob PackwoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And so you had people like Ben Musa from the Dells and Harry Boivin from Klamath Falls and Debs Potts from Roseburg, Democrats who were Senate presidents who would be supported by seven or eight Republicans and just enough to put together a 16-vote coalition.
