Influencing American Government

These two articles are very thought provoking. You may have heard peripherally about the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. These two articles help to shed some light on the architects of a New World Order. Don't pass judgment until you read the articles.

Thomas Jefferson wrote: "The Central Bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution....if the American people allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
