The goal is to get in charge of the state, and force your will onto every...

The U.S. government is forbidden from counterfeiting money, so they outsourced it to a "private" cartel of banks. This is similar to how the government outsources censorship to "private" social media companies. Ever since 1913, the Fed has destroyed the value of the dollar, along with the U.S. economy; and it has financed endless wars and debts that cannot b...
