Thank you for posting that. This is the most profound message I have seen on this board in years. It accurately describes what is happening to us now.

This is why Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and the corruptocracy of the Deep State in Washington DC get away with their crimes. There are two tiers to our system, and they are part of the invisible group of "Masters" to whom the laws do not apply.

I ask all of you to read the statement from Lysander Spooner and the other statement from Philiip Freneau, and then ask yourself "Is this not happening now?"

“Now, therefore, see briefly what it all comes to. First, you spend eighty millions of money in fireworks [war], doing no end of damage in letting them off.

” Then you borrow money to pay the firework-maker’s bill, from any gain-loving persons who have got it.

” And then, dressing your bailiff’s men in new red coats and cocked hats, you send them drumming and trumpeting into the fields, to take the peasants by the throat, and make them pay the interest on what you have borrowed, and the expense of the cocked hats besides.

“That is ‘ financiering,’ my friends, as the mob of the moneymakers understand it. And they understand it well. For that is what it always comes to, finally—taking the peasant by the throat. He must pay—for he only can. Food can only he got out of the ground, and all these devices of soldiership, and law, and arithmetic, are but ways of getting at last down to him, the furrow-driver, and snatching the roots from him as he digs.”

—” Fors Clavigera,” Part II., p. 27. By John Ruskin, LL.D. New York: John Wiley & Sons, 1882.
