which is why many MSM stories read like articles from The Onion.
So it's very difficult to make distinctions. Our markets are manipulated all the time. I'm just not educated enough in all of that to make even
an educated guess about information like this blogger is suggesting.

to jerk around DC and the People like puppets on their strings, while stealing us blind.

Thanks to the Internet, it's not only harder for them to do it, it's more easily uncovered when they do. But we all must be vigilant, vote for the right kind of politicians, and reform the government and even the Constitution.

There's at least a decade, maybe 50 years of hard work ahead. The 1% will fight us every step of the way. We have to put them in jail or exile, and asset-strip them. The tactics they employ against the poor are "legal", so why not?

It's war. And it's important. And if we do it right, innocents will not die.
