You don’t think this is true? Then you are guilty of not thinking.
Liberty does not consist in mere declarations of the rights of man. It consists in the translation of those declarations into definite action.
We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the world – no longer a Government of free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men.
Woodrow Wilson
(1856-1924) 28th US President

We are a country of SERIOUS decline…and loss of rights and freedoms….We will be the next Roman Empire to fall.

Mayer Amchel Rothschild (1743-1812) said “Let me issue and control a nation’s credit and I care not who writes it’s laws” .... Thomas Jefferson, who was born the same year as the abovementioned Rothschild, and was US President between 1801 and 1809 said “Banks… are more dangerous than standing armies”.
There’s a history to the story of the Fed, kids.
H M Bascom replied
We are slaves to the Federal Reserve and we don’t even know it.

I’m sorry, I should have quoted Jefferson fully “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberty than standing armies”.

Thank you Helen. I love how you stand up for what you believe and point out injustice to all.

I worked for the largest bank in Australia for ten years. The Commonwealth Banking Corporation. A federal Government Instument. Three years after I quite, the Government sold the bank for billions. The Goavernment later gave my health file to the new private Bank the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
A Government can make billions by starting a bank then selling it, or simply selling a license.
Money is an abstact creation that is issued by a government to ensure trade and civil harmony. Yet there seems to be no money for Child infant mortality, poverty, health, human rights, etc etc.
How much did the USA increase its’ defence budget by ?$400,000,000,000.00 . The fatest peoples in the world sit back to die early, watching children starve to death every day of their fat lives.
And here I am, fat and sitting.

is there anything you DO like about your country?
H M Bascom replied
Federal Reserve Board is a global issue, not just in my Country’s problem. This Country allowed it to be created, but every economy in the world suffers the consequences.
Violence, greed, hate, racism, and economic oppression are global issues, not just a problem in the United States.
Is there anything I DO like about my Country? Yeah, I don’t have to wear a burkha.

Helen, I’m not up on the financial constraints of countries, But I understand the the image and the message it portrays, and it is very very good

aint that the truth

@badart…We still have the freedom to criticize and evaluate our nation. That is one of the principles that made us who/what we were. That really is changing. We have come to glorify money more than freedom, status quo rather than doing things better, “fat” rather than lean and eager to change the world. MHO

Great detail here – that really looks like blood too! What are you using to get that effect? (Or is it real blood?)
H M Bascom replied
It’s a trade secret. :-)

Alrighty then! :-P (I’m guessing water with red dye…)

Wow!!! Such a great photo!!! Really says it all!!!

My highest compliment- you are like a Jedi
The problems of the western world are like agressive cancers- West Envy is really destructive to other countries, as what they seek is only a fleeting view of decadence. Power will corrupt most people, and seeking shallow and decadent persuits only makes the corrupters job easier. I hope messages like yours will get through and be salvation to the young people of China and other nations, that are abandoning culture and morality for Levis and a ps2
