Down the Rabbit Hole

Last night I decided to visit a local restaurant.  Nice meal, BTW.

When it came time to pay, I pulled out some paper bills and handed them to the waitress.

But a thought from out of nowhere suddenly hit me:  "I just handed over several pieces of (worthless?) paper dollar bills to pay for my meal".

~A Little Bit of History~

The actual dollar hasn't existed since 1913.  Before 1913, the dollar was backed up by gold and was indicated on the front of a dollar bill -- in other words a dollar bill, if exchanged for the commodity that backed it up, was worth its weight in so many ounces of tangible gold.

However, that all changed on December 23, 1913 when the Federal Reserve was created under The Federal Reserve Act.  

The dollars printed after that date have the words "Federal Reserve Note" printed on them.

The Federal Reserve has nothing to do with the federal government.

It is a privately held, untraded and unsupervised banking corporation owned by a very small group of people.

It has been a guessing game for some time as to the identities of these people.

When you are issued (use) a Federal Reserve Note it is considered a debt instrument (a debt obligation, a promissory note) that you owe to the Federal Reserve.

~How it works~

If government needs a loan to pay for things, they go to the Federal Reserve and ask for a loan at which time the Federal Reserve tacks on a bit of interest.

So, if you ask for $1M and the interest is 2%, you now owe $102M.  If you can't pay the additional $2M in interest, you ask for another loan to pay that off in which case you are now saddled with an additional amount of interest.

And around and around it goes.

So if this country's money supply is printed by a corporation, and the Federal Reserve refuses to be audited to let the rest of us know what is going on and that they don't have anything to hide, can you consider the country you live in soverign anymore?

And another question, is the United States of America now considered a corporation and not a Republic as it was originally set up?

~Let's Talk Credit Cards~

American Express, Mastercard and VISA are multi-financial services corporations.

When you use your credit card and sign that little piece of paper, you are actually engaging in a contractual obligation with the corporation.

At the time I grew up, people only used cash to pay for things as we didn't have credit cards.

And yet, even at that time, this country was slowly losing its sovereignty as the Federal Reserve was gaining power over the people and they didn't even know it.

We all take for granted the use of credit cards and outrageous debt today, without even blinking.

We are being conditioned to accept what was once thought impossible.

We are being used and led by secret organizations and people with secret agendas.

When we are conditioned so that we lose the ability to question those things we don't understand, and then are singled out and demonized because we dare to, you know you're on to something that a select few don't want you to know.
