I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies ... If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
(Thomas Jefferson, 1743-1826)

Ron: I recommend that everyone carefully consider this comprehensive explanation of how the matrix was established and operates in the US if only so that they can make sense of the criminality and chaos that is growing in Amerikka and the rest of the world today. This is how it is folks! Ya better believe it.
The creation of the fraudulent strawman corporate fiction and all the other government and judicial corporate fictions constitute not only the way that the US is governed but the broad control blueprint for the governance of most countries, and certainly all ex-British empire countries. It outlines how the US population is manipulated, enslaved and controlled. Sooo, this information is of interest to everyone no matter where they live.
I urge everyone to become aware of and fully understand the Strawman Illusion and its place in the continuation of the matrix in order to communicate their knowledge to as many people as possible. If that is done this monstrous scam will unravel as awareness increases and with it global consciousness. That would abort the matrix controllers’ New World Order scheme to formally enslave the whole world in a single feudal fascist state. Esu Immanuel said 2000 years ago: ‘You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.’

As people became seemingly free to choose whatever they wanted to do the uncertainties of living were further exacerbated by the exploitation of their isolation and vulnerability by their economic masters. A major social phenomenon that arose from this situation was the psychological condition which Erich Fromm labelled as a fear of freedom. People had become free from the restrictions of the old feudal life style but their personal insecurity led to a fear of their new-found freedom. That condition made them easily manipulated since the instinctive reaction of those suffering from fear of freedom was an unthinking emotional desire to blend into the human herd in thought and deed. Then as now, no one can tell humans how to know who they are. As Mary Croft has said: ‘To become free and to feel free is not a process… it is a realization.’
The 18th century Agricultural Revolution made feudal serfdom redundant, expelled serfs from the land forcing them to congregate in towns and cities where they constituted an enormous new cheap labour pool. These workers fueled the Industrial Revolution. The “freed” agricultural serfs became “free range” industrial serfs – wage slaves - forced to go to the cities to find work and to assume responsibility for their own and their family’s food, shelter and wellbeing. Whenever the work dries up free range workers must move on at their own expense in the hope of finding work elsewhere. The matrix propaganda mills have now successfully sold the free-range wage-slave idea to the masses for more than two centuries.

Not only do they not teach it in highschool, but my poli sci professor in college suggested that Butler was a fascist and willing conspirator in the business plot. He had no idea that Butler had been printed in socialist magazines or that he had testified to congress regarding the plot, nor that he had threatened to raise troops to counter the plot if needed. It took some doing to show him the light on that one.
“... Over the last quarter-century, historians have by and large ceased writing about the role of ruling elites in the country's evolution. Or if they have taken up the subject, they have done so to argue against its salience for grasping the essentials of American political history. Yet there is something peculiar about this recent intellectual aversion, even if we accept as true the beliefs that democracy, social mobility, and economic dynamism have long inhibited the congealing of a ruling stratum. This aversion has coincided, after all, with one of the largest and fastest-growing disparities in the division of income and wealth in American history....Neglecting the powerful had not been characteristic of historical work before World War II. ” hnn.us...
