Machiavelli and the Prince of Peace-updated!

If Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, then does that not mean the state or Leviathan spoken of by Hobbes and set up by the people inhabiting any land to enforce the ten commandments or general rules based on those commands as a social contract to allow for peaceful habitation with common sense without resorting to hand to hand conflict is a tool of the Prince of Peace?  Machiavelli in book 9 wrote and lamented of his need for a central power reminiscent of his ancestor's peace, order and good government over many centuries witnessed in the lands now known for Ital-design and well maintained roads. The empire was anathema to the opposite; that is anything opposite of a civil social order. Machiavelli inspired his reader, in the absence, fall and search for a re-birth of such an order to rely on the spirit of virtu( the Lord said he felt virtue leave Him when a woman with an issue of blood touched Him) This is not unlike Abraham relying on the spirit of virtue to lead Him to safety in a wilderness when there is no definite order except when you encounter a King of Egypt. What is clear is Machiavelli's lament for order and not a desire to write and suggest a life of self-preservation as if the jungle and its proliferation among the cobble stone streets and overgrown gardens and ruins of Rome was the purpose of his writing; quite the contrary. Saint Augustine wrote on this voluminously. Hobbes and his contemporaries such as Locke and Rousseau covenanted tacitly and helped to finalise the arrangement but if the populace surrenders oversight to Leviathan itself, any published answer may, very well, become the unquestionable official truth.  This is the propaganda of which Teddy Roosevelt warned and which McCarthy used to great effect to put away the foreign employees of the continuing war effort where the state ends up fighting the state and all reverts back to hand to hand conflict if the purpose of peace is not upheld beyond the very cause of any social or civil breakdown. The tea crates from the Boston Tea Party are still in the harbour. It takes a while for wood to resolve and decay in salt water.  Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and people tend not to forget; especially when anyone in the employment of the  people is going the other way. He is the good news, way, truth and the life. Read your local news paper more often and have a say. It's a free country. Browning, Smith and Wesson and Ruger  agree with their 1911 research for the maintenance of peace that the farmer and banker should have a licence to carry any hunting rifle or anti-bear shotgun. Research for 1911 also demonstrated that a lack of common sense brings violence. Dr. Diesel read their posthumous reports and found it amenable to his research on energy efficient fuels(google algae based gasoline or diesel-diesel engines are twice as efficient as gasoline engines-why is it that not every vehicle with an internal combustion engine is powered by a good diesel engine on hydrogen as is possible http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx4F5JuCUuk or an algae based diesel?) and combustion engines.  Also, do not forget that the Apple logo stands for "leave some for the future generations."  Ok?
