This is a very long and complex article.
IMO EVERYONE needs to read and understand it.
It explains how our government went off the rails.
In brief: We are no longer a Constitutional Representative Republic. A fourth branch of government-The Intelligence branch, (unelected and answers to no one), has been created.
It ultimately controls everything.
The article concludes that the only way to protect ourselves from these unelected tyrants is to get involved with our state/local government.
FYI
It ultimately controls everything.:::::
This fourth branch doesn't have even a hint of a "check" or a "balance". Even if the House, which supposedly holds the purse strings, stops funding the 4th branch, they will be funded through black accounts or the corporate/activist/elitist overlords.
