RE: Are you a Slave? I was a slave to the American Dream. Learn how I escaped.

Thank you for sharing.

The crisis occurred because banks were loaning to people even when they new that the majority of it could not be paid back. The banksters did not care since they get nice bonuses for approved loans, so they did everything in their power to loan as much as possible.

The crisis of 2008 was a good indication of everything that is wrong with this system. And what did we do? We saved those banks and the fat CEO's from going broke but did nothing to prevent it in the future.

Big banks manipulate market values every single day, from food prices to gold and silver. One does not have to be a genius to realize that the system is rigged in favor of big interests and the wealthy few.

Mind you this is very simplified but you get the point.

To give you something to think about, every note/bill that you spend your country has to borrow with interest. Even if you earned it slaving away your precious time, you are still creating more debt out of thin air.

I agree with each of your points. However, people need to know they can do something about it. If not, they are just hopeless without any chance of escaping.

I have seen many cases where people get into debt to fill some void or unhappiness in their life. They buy stuff to feel better without actually addressing the root issue. In turn they end up being in more debt and still unhappy.

We can only strive towards self-sustainability and move away from consumerism and government. I am debt free myself and still consider myself to be a slave as anyone else. The birth certificate is a bond that the government uses as collateral to acquire more debt. We are all stock to the ruling few. We have privileges in this system, but no rights.

We all get our own corporation at birth (corpse - dead body) and are considered to be lost at see. The Phoenician kind of doing business. Even our souls are legally considered to be in ownership of the Vatican.

I thank you sincerely for informing other people, but as you see its not that simple. Change will come for sure pretty soon as the majority is fed up. I just hope it will be a gradual one without nuclear warfare.

My hope is save those that what to be saved and willing to make the hard choices.
