“When a national government needs to raise funds for its various activities—be it building infrastructure, funding social programs, or managing its debt—it turns to the bond market. It issues government bonds, essentially borrowing money from investors in exchange for regular interest payments and the promise to repay the principal.

“Philadelphia

Your liberty Bell still rings.

Freedom, from Philadelphia
Still rings.

Freedom rings....
Liberty
Rings.

This is the heart of the USA,
The point where our heart
Incarnated.

Men gathered here
To sign three sacred contracts:

First, The Declaration of Independence,
Then, the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

And they said to the world
"By God,
Let Freedom Ring.”

“The Eternality of Good and Evil
It is possible for good to conquer evil.
But, an inconvenient truth mirrors the convenient truth -
The convenient truth is that the seeds of good are ever present with evil. And the inconvenient truth is that the seeds of evil are ever present with good
This is why war never ends, and never will.
This is why only two realities exist in this context -
(1) War; with the goal of defeating the enemy. AND
(2) War; with the goal of preventing the enemies conception/birth.”

“E Pluribus Unum
The United States of America (USA)
Is a meeting place
For peoples of varied backgrounds.

And from the Great Plains of Nebraska and Wyoming
To Maryland's Eastern Shore.

From the Great Lakes adjacent Minnesota,
To the Everglades of Southern Florida.

We are one.

From the corals
Off of California's coasts.

To the mountains
Of the Shenandoah, in Virginia.

We are one.

From the steel and concrete towers
Of New York City
To Liberty Bell
In Pennsylvania.

We are One.

Out of many:
A
single,
We've become.

Out of many:
A
single;

We are one.

As the many stones that make the Obelisk In Washington,
Many individuals
Make the United States Of America.
And the best of all the world
Is here with us.”
