“He who owns the money supply owns the people.” 

Banking began as a sleight-of-hand, when gold dealers with vaults realized they could issue receipts (IOU’s) for much more gold than they actually had on deposit. This is the origin of currency. Then they got the State to borrow and guarantee their fraudulent IOU’s which became the money supply.    Continue reading “All Wars are Fought for Usury”

The Data is Very Strong - Marijuana Plant Extract Stops Cancers From SpreadingPrevent Disease – by Marcos Torres

22 Facts That Prove That The Bottom 90 Percent Of America Is Systematically Getting Poorer - Photo by Joe MabelThe Economic Collapse – by Michael

The mainstream media is not telling you this, but the truth is that most Americans are steadily getting poorer.  The middle class is being absolutely eviscerated, and poverty is soaring to unprecedented heights.  The fact that 90 percent of the population is constantly sliding downhill is not good for our society.

The United States is supposed to be a land of opportunity with a vibrant free market system that enables average people to make better lives for themselves.  Unfortunately, free enterprise is being strangled to death in the United States today.  Entrepreneurs and small business are being pounded into oblivion by rules, regulations, red tape and oppressive levels of taxation. At the same time, millions of jobs have been shipped out of the United States by corporate giants and sent to countries where it is legal to pay slave labor wages.    Continue reading “22 Facts That Prove That The Bottom 90 Percent Of America Is Systematically Getting Poorer”
