We live in interesting times. Even as our own civilization hangs on the precipice of financial solvency, the priorities of the uninformed masses are so distorted that many will actually camp out in front of a Best Buy store in order to be the first in line to save $100 on a big-screen TV. In a time when the very problems of society are rooted in over-consumption and too much television, the everyday pleebs place such high importance on expanding the size of their mainstream media hypnosis devices that they will physically fight each other to get one of these TVs at a slightly lower price.

Meanwhile, the federal debt has plunged past $15 trillion, the freedoms and liberties upon which America built its economic strength are fast eroding, and the U.S. has practically entered a fighting war with Pakistan.

Pay no mind to any of that, friends. Wal-Mart has teflon-coated waffle makers on sale for two bucks off!

Sleight-of-Mind Distractions

Meanwhile, the 2012 presidential election races are underway, and the mainstream media seems determined to catapult anyone into the White House as long as his name isn't Ron Paul. The last thing the globalist controllers really want is someone who dares to tell the People the truth about topics that matter -- the Federal Reserve, national debt, foreign wars, the Bill of Rights and more. Presidents are supposed to be entertainers and distracters, didn't you know? When a nation's collision with financial reality is all but inescapable, that nation inevitably turns to bread and circuses.


And so sleight-of-mind distractions invite the masses to invest their attention in dancing with the stars, lusting after the latest electronics gadgets, and tuning in to staged news footage from the front lines of the fabricated "war on terror" where U.S. troops are now openly engaged in planting, harvesting and protecting the opium trade in Afghanistan. You can talk about anything you want in America, it seems, as long as it's not the Bill of Rights, or buying something with cash, or exercising your Free Speech rights -- because all of those things are now considered signs of being a suspected terrorist.

Layers of Deceit

The most astonishing thing about it all is how many layers of wool have been pulled over the eyes of the American people, most of whom suffer under the illusion that they still live in a "free" country. Where to begin in educating people about this? First, there's the engineered "war on terror" which was entirely invented, carried out and sold to the American people as a way to justify more war spending and the stripping away of fundamental human rights.

Then there's the economic quackery taking place right under our noses as the Federal Reserve -- a private corporation that answers to no one -- has been quietly and deliberately stealing America's wealth for nearly a hundred years. Following the money is simply too difficult for mainstream Americans, who are unable to grasp how purchasing power is deliberately stolen from them through the dilution of the money supply. You're never supposed to get ahead, don't you know? A common wage earner can no more save money and make it into the ranks of the ultra wealthy than a frog can transform into a magical unicorn. That's because a small percentage of your wealth -- everything you've worked for -- is stolen from you year after year, much like the way in which rain erodes a pile of sand that you might have stacked and shoveled into a mound.

The economic deceit is designed to keep you enslaved; to keep you working for the globalist corporations that pocket the profits of your labors -- and usually tax-free! Two examples: Bank of America pays NO taxes, and General Motors also runs a sweet offshore tax shelter structure that makes it virtually immune to paying taxes at all.

Meanwhile, YOU are taxed when you earn (payroll taxes, paid by your employer), taxed when you save (capital gains taxes) and taxed when you spend (sales taxes). You're even taxed when you just sit on a pile of money and do nothing (monetary devaluation/price inflation). And remarkably, some of the more ignorant members of society have been out protesting, calling for more taxes on the People as a "solution" to all this!

No, my friends. We do not need more taxes on the People. In fact, let me explain something to you that will absolutely astonish you once you grasp the simple truth of it: The U.S. government needs NO TAX MONEY whatsoever to operate!

The Myth of Government Needing Tax Money

How's that? You've all been told the government needs a few trillion dollars a year in tax revenues to build bombs, make roads, pay social security benefits and the like, right? It is the Great Lie of our time. Allow me to explain...

The idea that the U.S. government needs us to send it our money is rooted in the false assumption that the government cannot simply create the money it wants to spend. And yet, we all now know that to be false. For example, in October 2008 during the first investment banker crisis, the U.S. government (via the Federal Reserve) simply created nearly $1 trillion and handed that money over to the richest, filthiest banksters on the planet. Here's a partial list of who received the money (and this list isn't even up to date).
