The times as we see it is not what it seems. Political parties continue to spew their rhetoric and demonize each other. Then in the distance came, what seems to be a shining light. A light that will guide us to the Promised Land. Places where we are not judge by the money in our bank account, ethnicity of our lineage or the creed that you follow. No, this will be a wave of change. Brought to the world by a chosen one, who came from meager means. This is a time of revelation for all of humanity.
This may be the smoke screen that is stoked by a more sinister element at hand. What is the one thing that ties most of the world together? Is there a common denominator that can be used to control outcomes around the world? The sad truth of the matter is there is a common thread. The fiber of currency is the demon within the details.
There is an unscrupulous group that has been searching for the right time to pounce on the world and take it for themselves. These men have no allegiance to a god, country or race. The have one allegiance and only one that is the acquisition of wealth. They create wealth from nothing, yet they produce nothing that is tangible. The production of this wealth comes from the creation of debt. The ability to take debt and use it to create more debt and hold the assets of that debt as collateral is a brilliant scheme that transpires with every passing moment.
These are the times that we live in. At this very moment, those who represent us are acting as if what they say matters. They are but puppets being pulled by the strings of the puppeteer. Who are these men that wield such influence? How can it be that the world is unaware of their plot?
Like every great civilization, there comes a time when the populous becomes complacent. The citizenry loses sight of how the nation was created and why it was created. A nation that was born from the right to pursue freedom and happiness without having to pay taxes to a monarchy. That right was constituted with the blood of patriots who would rather die than pay homage to a king.
Now the nation has been hoodwinked by the same menace that the colonies had fought so hard to free themselves from. That menace is a Central Bank. Now, not only is there talk of a World Bank but a New World Order. A World government that will be run by bankers and corporations and your country will no longer be yours. All that sustains life will be taxed; all efforts will be made for the greater good, good of the World government and those who hold the currency from the World Bank.
This is the story of what may come to pass. Just like the story, "A Christmas Carol", there is still time to change the outcome of Christmas' to come. Seek the truth and be a skeptic. Look beyond the Tivo and research how the world really works and there may be a chance for the salvation of the Republic.
