Let me show you how the illusion works. Money is one of the greatest inventions of all time. There is nothing wrong with money. It is not good, bad or evil. It is just an abstraction. Abstractions are used to make complex things simple. Money makes it possible to easily transfer goods and services among those who create and consume them. Thus, the original purpose of money was to serve as a medium of exchange. Unfortunately, money has been hijacked like many other technologies, governments, religions you name it. At least five hundred years before we were born, the technicians of money (bankers) figured out away to corrupted it (steal). Wall street bankers have added more and better ways to steal over time. Money is no longer used as a medium of exchange; it is treated and used as a commodity. Our Money system is corrupt. The source of corruption is  privatization and fraud. What would happen if you commoditize water and air with the help of privatization? Many people would start dying from the lack of water and air. Simple! – The remedy is even simpler.  STOP IT!!!  Because the general population is so mentally enslaved, Billions if not Trillions of dollars are sifted from the money system by those who make nothing and add nothing to the system. Unsustainable! - That’s what you feel and see today in your so called financial markets or dare I say it – Free Market Capitalism.

Here is the bigger problem, education. 50 percent of the people who read what I just said won’t understand it. 95 percent of the people that do understand it, won’t do or say a damn thing about it.

The people in American seem to think they’re in charge of their country. Of course this is far from the truth. It's just another grand illusion. Today we're learning the hard way that there's a big difference between a Democracy and a Republic.We’ve been taught  to believe that our country is the best in the world because we are capitalists and we are a democracy. The United States is a republic not a democracy, “BIG Difference. So if you feel like your government is ignoring you, now you know why. You are not in charge. They only pretend you’re in charge.

“What better way to enslave a man then to give him a vote and tell him he is free”
 ~Albert Camus

So you see, in a republic, It matters very little what we say or what we want because we are not in charge. This is not a real democracy. The sooner we learn this, the sooner we can begin to make real progress. This is why the American people feel so hopeless and disillusioned about real change and their future. They don't see a way out. How can you not feel hopeless?
