Authors Bio:
Financial Consultant - screenwriter
A self proclaimed "Patrick Henry" who truly believes that death is better than slavery. I call America, a playgound for the elite and a welfare state for the rest. Democracy as defined cannot survive outside the Constitution. Biblical revelations reveal our fates. I have spent twenty five years following the conspiracy of the Mayflower NWO and the historical conspirators from Alexander Hamilton to date. There is no doubt, a high stakes game of Monopoly playing out in America and it puts Americans at best on Baltic Avenue or at worst, Jail.
