This video deals with a subject not taught in schools anymore -- the nature of governments.

It is an EXCELLENT history lesson, and, quite sadly, a first-class demonstration as to what we have to look forward to.

It should be REQURIED viewing for every citizen, politician, and school-age child/young adult!

Please watch the video and ping your FRiends and neighbors to it:

We seem to be right on track for this to happen in the US.

I have watched this video before and have passed it on to all of our friends and family. It is an excellent video and I highly recommend that everyone watch it and share it with others.

Thank you for posting it, Taxman. We must save our Republic and educating the masses would sure help our cause.

Great start.

It needs to show

How corporate media manipulate majorities,
The tyranny of regulation devolving to administrative law
How bureaucracies hand out bogus legal favors
How tax-exempt foundations and courts rig the legal game

In short, it should discuss the excesses of internationalism and mercantilism, and how that system was the threat at the founding and remains so today.
