And it’s all about our money.

Listen to this, Ben, while you read through the rest under this pic …

The 1776 revolutionary war was over money systems. It took us from Benjamin Franklin’s good money system, government-created money rather than bank-created money:

“In the Colonies, we issue our own paper money. It is called Colonial Scrip. We issue it to pay the government’s approved expenses and charities. We make sure it is issued in proper proportions to make the goods pass easily from the producers to the consumers… we control its purchasing power and we have no interest to pay to no one. You see, a legitimate government can both spend and lend money into circulation, while banks can only lend significant amounts of their promissory bank notes, for they can neither give away nor spend but a tiny fraction of the money the people need. Thus, when your bankers here in England place money in circulation, there is always a debt principal to be returned and usury to be paid. The result is that you have always too little credit in circulation to give the workers full employment. You do not have too many workers, you have too little money in circulation, and that which circulates, all bears the endless burden of unpayable debt and usury.”

This caused a permanent break from British economic rule. Unfortunately, after the American Revolution, the fledgling Democracy cast off Franklin’s scrip and returned to the ‘accepted’ British banking system.

Lincoln tried to get us out of that system, and it worked for as long as the Civil War. Greenback Dollars were “our own paper money… We issue it to pay the government’s Civil War expenses”.

After the war, he made it clear that since Greenbacks had successfully financed an expensive war, he would retain it. He did not last long after that and Green b ac ks were removed from circulation by the U.S. banker government.

John F. Kennedy tried the same thing with his paper scrip – Silver  Certificates that paid on demand one silver dollar containing one ounce of pure ‘99-fine’ silver.

He didn’t last either, and Silver Certificates were removed from circulation beginning some six months after his execution by the U.S. banker government.

Since then? Banker debt and Trump!
