A decade before the release of the Star Wars prequels, the Americans were still fighting a war against the Soviet Unions. The Cold War was funded, on both sides, by a web of financial institutions. Those institutions ended up being the true winner of the war as they benefitted regardless of how the war ended.
During his military career (1898-1931), Major General Smedley Darlington Butler said "I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes, and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket."
We're within a financial system that, while invisible, is influencing our lives... The below are books that helped me understand this system:
- "1913" book by Oliver DeMille explains what happened in 1913 that helped give more power to the financial system.
- "The Financial Matrix" book by Orrin Woodward gives the name "Financial Matrix" to this financial entity that is all around us. The book explains what "it" is as well as how to navigate within it.
- "Insidious: The Rise of the Financial Matrix and the fall of Economic Freedom" book by Orrin Woodward is a follow-up to his earlier work above and exposes the entirety of the scheme and proposes a solution.
Finance is too important of a subject to be ignored. The better the information we have, the better the decision we can make.
"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold."
-Alan Greenspan
