You have to understand that the reason that our system doesn't work is because the Constitution of the United States of America has only acted as the Supreme Law of the Land, as it was intended to be, during only two small periods of time in America's short history. During all other periods it was subverted by crooked banking systems and treasonous politicians. Also note during those two short periods of true liberty we were incredibly successful and peaceful.
Believe your history books if you'd like or do your research and realize that the British banking cartels that we're, in the words of Ben Franklin "probably the prime cause of the revolution" were back in business in America as early as 1801. Which means we had not even 30 years of real freedom before the oppressive "money manipulators", as good Mr. Franklin once called them, were back in full swing and stealing wealth from the hard working people of the era.
It wasn't until the civil war under Lincoln that we again pushed the Central Bankers from out of this land and established the Greenback as our non-inflated currency, and again for a short time we experienced prosperity. It is ironic, however, that that which brought us this second wave of prosperity is what ultimately undid it. You see the declaration of "Martial Law" that was enacted during the Civil War was never officially lifted by congress and is, in fact, technically still in effect to this day. It is because of this loophole that again in 1909 (or maybe 1919, can't remember right now) the Federal Reserve Bank was founded (actually this is not a federal institution at all, it is a private cooperation. The name is just to play at Americans' ignorance) and our money was again in the hands of the oppressors. To mark the occasion of America's return to oppression, we in this country experienced the beginning of The Great Depression in that very same year. I for one do not believe in coincidence. So in total that gave us about 50 to 60 more years of true liberty in this country until the FED came about.
So to sum up, for less than half of this countries history, (about 80 years) we have truly been living under the code of conduct (The Constitution) that is so willfully advertised in all our history books and within its own pages as "The Supreme Law of the Land". However, in reality, The Constitution in its current state amounts to little more, in this day and age, than as a means of defense, or in other words, a nice excuse to send your children to war. Unfortunately in doing so you are sending them to fight on the side of the very same group of peoples who subverted the Constitution in the first place.
Say what you want about America being so much better, but in all honestly, and for all intents and purpose, Britain, and European royalty in general, effectively owns this country through the use of the same banking schemes that they practiced and perfected on that side of the Atlantic so many years ago.
I'll just leave you with a quote by the man who found the Theory of Economic Inductance, Mr. Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild
"Give me control of a nation's currency and I care not who makes it's laws"
I for one believe in the power of The Constitution of the United States of America, and I believe that it is because of that power that it allows its people, in theory (unfortunately no longer in reality), that it has been so cunningly and completely subverted without you ever knowing a thing about what really took place in this country. Call it conspiracy theory if you'd like to think your educated, but anyone who is a, Economics or Poli Sci major knows full well about the plans for Globalization and it is already the accepted and official end decided upon. Truly its not even hidden anymore. Its sad to me that it is Americans themselves who are most ignorant of the truth of American History, as well as about the true Great American individuals who once called this land their own (the best example I can think of this statement is the common public's ignorance toward Nikola Tesla's achievements).
I will gladly give you references were you to ask for them so that you can verify this information for your very own. But sadly few rarely ask for it, and I find my hands full just trying to stay on top of reality myself let alone convince you of what I already know to be true. It is your duty under the Constitution to educate yourself, and I as a fellow American, will gladly help you find the truth if you actually give a shit to know it. I am not, however going to spend a few hours collecting my references (there are literally hundreds of books and laws I can make aware to you) so that they will go completely ignored by someone who just wants to believe what mommy and daddy preached to them as children. I have done it before and do not mind doing it for those who wish to see it. Which is why I ask for further inquiry, and nothing more, before I bother to take the time and prove my above statements beyond a shadow of a doubt to the investigative mind.
