I know that we often say that 'Nixon closed the gold window' or that Secretary of the Treasury Connally made that happen... not to split hairs, but Nixon, Connally and the rest are essentially figure-heads that occupy puppet posts. They are selected and installed at the behest of those that occupy the various global financial houses within the international banking cartel. The incremental ratcheting of monetary inflation is engineered, by design, to diminish the wealth and power of individuals and remove their sovereignty over their respective futures. Given this understanding, it's important to take steps to reduce or eliminate as many tentacles that the State uses to trap the individual and develop relationships with others in terms of the mutually beneficial exchange of value for value.

It's not a wonder that both my husband and I worked our entire lives and never seemed to get anywhere. We finally were able to retire and thanks to a large inheritance, pay off our remaining debts including our mortgage. We are now debt-free but struggling a little because of inflation. Most of our equity is in our home. So, we are a little better off, thankfully, but it took until we were 64 years old... Now the young people here don't have a prayer. Getting ahead in any way, without a lot of family support, is next to impossible.
