Part II – Understanding the Wizard’s great machine

Economic slavery is a system whereby a minute class of economically privileged people (elite, 0.01%), dominate all other classes of people through a means of totalitarian control over the money source in an economy.  This totalitarian control causes tremendous disparities in wealth between the privileged and all classes within the economy resulting in oppression and a government controlled by the elite through the use of their economic power.  In simpler terms, the haves control the money and government and the have-nots don’t control anything.  Due to the covertness of the system, and the fact that most people are able to put food on their tables, have a roof over their heads, enjoy internet and cable along with a few other creature comforts, they are either unaware of or too confused to understand the dire straits of their situation.

Although, the Founding Fathers did not design it to be such the American Dream is merely the carrot used to distract the populace from the truth of their role in economic slavery.  The American people are the slaves and don’t even understand that.  Often times, members of the oppressed class give thanks for their standard of living.  They are like slaves that are glad just to get pig’s feet while the masters get the bacon and sirloin chops.  Along with their slave masters, they both smile and go on with their lives, albeit for different reasons much like the hostages and hostage takers in a Stockholm syndrome scenario.  After being subjected to terror, the hostages often develop affection for their abductors.  If you are not one of the elite slave masters aka the 0.01%, wake up, to them you are the enemy!  Like the rest of us, you are a slave to this economy.  Welcome to the club.  Now stop smiling!

To break the bonds of economic “slavery with a smile” that has oppressed you and will surely oppress future generations of your descendants you must first understand what the Wizard’s great machine is.  To accomplish that monumental task, one has to do the following:

1. Understand the purpose of the great machine and who benefits from it
2. Compare your current financial status to that of the wealthiest Americans, which includes income, net worth, taxes paid, economic opportunities
3. Compare the interest rates on your debt to the rate set by the Federal Reserve aka The Death Star
4. Understand the current role that the government plays in the economy versus what its role is supposed to be.
5. Understand the banking system

The great machine has one and only one purpose.  That purpose is to at all costs, make money and growth the wealth of the elite by any means necessary.  At all costs literally means, costing the lives of you, your family, friends, the destruction of this country and even this planet as evidenced by global warming and the failure to do anything about it.  By any means necessary throughout history has been proven to include war, human slavery, illegal child labor, overthrowing foreign governments, austerity, creation and distribution of genetically modified organisms (GMO) developed by Monsanto and other such companies.  The elite also are, not above genocide, ethnic cleansing, globalism and even treason as openly displayed by our very own Wizard of Oz, President of the United States, Donald J. Trump and his conspiring with the Russians to defraud the American people by helping him win the 2016 presidential election.

Children are the future of this planet.  Any company that abuses children is a member of the elite and a co-owner of the great machine, regardless of where in this world the children live.  Motivated by greed, the following companies are known for child labor abuses^{1}.   

1. Chocolate Companies – Nestle, Hershey Mars, Kraft, ADM (Archer Daniels Midland)
2. Fashion Brands: Gap, H&M, Forever 21, Nike, Urban Outfitters, Adidas, Wal-Mart, Victoria’s Secret
3. Other Brands: Apple, Disney, Phillip Morris

While the aforementioned companies are household names, the history of the elite and their atrocities go as far back as the early 1900s.  In a January 18, 2017, article^{2} published by the Smithsonian Institute, the origination of the term banana republic is given. The story deals with the overthrow of the Honduran government by Cuyamel Fruit Company, an American company and an ancestor of Chiquita Brands International.   Together with the United Fruit Company, they created or acquired large fruit plantations in Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and Belize, all of which are Central American countries.  The Dominican Republic and Haiti were also victimized. Through their wealth, they obtained economic control of these governments.  Beginning in 1916, the Banana Wars^{3} were fought by the U.S. military on behalf of these and other companies which led to the use of hundreds of American troops and the deaths of thousands of citizens of these countries.  This resulted in governments of several of these companies being overthrown by American companies with the military help of the American government, hence the term banana republic.

Other atrocities by the elite involve the creation of GMOs by Monsanto.  GMOs are genetically engineered crops and animals created for the purpose of controlling the food supply.  Under the guise of creating more robust crops, unlike other plants, these organisms do not produce seeds, are patented and force farmers into a form of economic slavery because farmers are forced to use Monsanto as their only source for seeds to produce their crops.  A small list of GMO crops includes, corn, soybeans, potatoes, squash, papaya and canola.  Genetically Modified animals in the U.S. food supply include chickens, cows, pigs, and salmon.

Research has been conducted into the health risk of these foods which has expanded to include fish and other animals.  In an article titled “Health Risk”^{4} published by the Institute for Responsibility (IRT), studies are cited that reveal that infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system are problems caused by GMOs.  Currently, there are at least twenty-six countries that prohibit GMOs from becoming a part of their food supply, including Switzerland, Australia, Austria, China, India, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, Italy, Mexico and Russia.  Significant restrictions on GMOs exist in about sixty other countries.  However, despite the research proving their harm to human beings and the banning of GMOs by other countries, there are no laws prohibiting their use in the U.S.  The elite are poisoning you and your children with the permission of your elected officials and all for the purpose of creating wealth at your expense, even if it means your death and the end of your family name via infertility.

As stated in Part I, this article does not propose some insane, unfounded conspiracy theory.  Rather it is based in fact and it provides documented sources so that you can do your own research.  Globalism is the operation or planning of economic and foreign policy on a global basis.  Globalism was started by wealthy private citizens and the corporations that they control aka the elite as a means to increase their wealth and power.  David Rockefeller was the son of John D. Rockefeller Jr. the 20^th-century oil baron whose father John D. Rockefeller Sr. who founded Standard Oil which is now Exxon Mobil.  David Rockefeller is an open proponent of globalism and in his own words has stated that the world would be better off under their rule.  These are some of his famous quotes on the subject matter:

1. “For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure–one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” Source – Memoirs, by David Rockefeller
2. “We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years……It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The super-national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.” Source – 1991 speech to the Bilderberg Group

The Rockefeller family has also been influential in the governments of both China and Russia.  The Rockefeller family has a long history with China.  The Rockefellers helped to fund the Chinese Revolution of Chairman Mao Zedong and the formation of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949 which David Rockefeller referred to as the Great Social Experiment.

In his televised farewell speech to the nation, President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned the American people of the dangers that the military industrial complex posed to the security of the nation.  The military industrial complex consist of companies that produce the weapons for the U.S. Military.  Eisenhower feared that these companies which were controlled by some of the wealthiest people in America would succumb to greed and through that greed gain an ever expanding influence over our elected officials, government and economy.

Prior to Einsenhower’s speech foretelling the growth of the military industrial complex, another warning dealing with the elite and their conspiracies came from John F. Hylan who served as Mayor of New York City from 1918-1925:

“The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation… The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually runs the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties… and control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. It operates under cover of a self-created screen [and] seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection.” – New York Times, March 26, 1922

Aside from these quotes as to the elites and their plans to enslave the American populace, in 1933 several Wall Street millionaires conspired to overthrow the administration of then-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR).  FDR through his administration’s New Deal program brought the country out of the Great Depression.  The conspiracy now known as the Business Plot^{5} was to be a military coup.  But it was exposed by Retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler who the conspirators attempted to recruit as leader of the military forces.  The conspirators were three members of the advisory board of the American Liberty League—T.M. Cunningham, M.S. Lane, and Irenee Du Pont a member of the DuPont chemical magnate family.  All of the conspirators were in direct opposition to FDR’s New Deal and thought that a coup might be necessary to save the nation from FDR.  The incident was investigated by Congress which reported that “In the last few weeks of the committee’s official life it received evidence showing that certain persons had made an attempt to establish a fascist organization in this country…There is no question that these attempts were discussed, were planned, and might have been placed in execution when and if the financial backers deemed it expedient.”

FDR realized that the causes of the Great Depression stemmed from the greed of America’s elite.  It spread worldwide.  The Great Depression started circa September 4, 1929, with a major fall in stock prices and by October 29, now known as Black Tuesday, the stock market crashed.  In a sharp response to the causes of the Great Depression which were greedy stock brokers, stock fraud and unscrupulous bankers, an essential part of The New Deal^{6} centered around new financial legislation, regulations and enforcement agencies designed to prevent this from ever happening again.   FDR was trying to kill the great machine of the elite that was evolving due to the economy which was created as a direct result of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.  To prevent the elite from engaging in acts that would be even more destructive and deadly, the following financial reforms were instituted:

1. The Economy Act – passed on March 14, 1933, required a balanced regular (non-emergency) federal budget
2. The Banking Act of 1933 (Glass-Steagall Act) – created the separation of commercial and investment banking and created the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
3. The Securities Act of 1933 – Passed to prevent securities fraud, the law required the disclosure of the balance sheet, profit and loss statement, and the names and compensations of corporate officers for firms whose securities were traded. The reports had to be verified by independent auditors.
4. Securities and Exchange Commission – Founded in 1934 to regulate the stock market and prevent corporate abuses relating to corporate reporting and the sale of securities.

All of these reforms were put in place to protect the nation from ever experiencing the greed of the elite again.  This is how the government is supposed to work.  But, due to big money and lobbyist that work on behalf of the wealthy aka The Evil Empire, lawmakers are bought and paid for and the government stops working for you.  A prime example of that was the 1999 repeal of the Glass-Steagall act.  Under heavy lobbying pressure by the banks, Democrats led by President Bill Clinton and Republicans led by Senator Phil Graham repealed the law that since 1933 had prevented another depression and serious recessions.  The act was also successful in preventing banks from getting too-big-to-fail.  The repeal of Glass-Steagall is what created the environment for the 2008 great Recession and it was done by both The Republican and Democratic Parties.  Economic slavery is not a partisan issue.

The Great Recession of 2008 led to the Obama administration and the Democratic passing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ^{7} signed into law in 2010.  The Act changed then existing regulatory structure, created a number of new agencies (while merging and removing others) increasing oversight of specific institutions regarded as a systemic risk, amending the Federal Reserve Act, promoting transparency, and additional changes.  The Financial Stability Oversight Council, the Office of Financial Research, and the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection were agencies created in an attempt to streamline the regulatory process and protect consumers.  The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) from its inception until April 2017 returned almost $12 billion to 29 million consumers and imposed about $600 million in civil penalties.

In 2017, under President Donald Trump and a Republican-controlled House of Representative and Senate, The Financial Choice Act – BILLS-115hr10ih ^{8} was passed.  This law has effectively muted the Dodd-Frank act and nearly eliminated all of the consumer protections that had been put in place.

Usury is the illegal action or practice of lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest.  These laws are supposed to prevent unethical people and institutions from taking unfair advantage of people that in response to economic desperation will put themselves and their lives at risk.  Not all states have usury laws.  Here is a link to a Guide to States with Usury Laws ^{9}.  The federal government does not have any usury laws at all.  Your elected officials by not acting on your behalf and passing usury legislation have fostered one of the principal tools of economic slavery.  In support of usury practices, in the 1978 case of, Marquette National Bank of Minneapolis v. First of Omaha Service-1 ^{10}, the U.S. Supreme Court in a unanimous decision ruled that state anti-usury laws regulating cannot be enforced against nationally chartered banks based in other states.  In essence, the Supreme Court of the United States has made usury by national banks legal.

Based upon the evidence provided, it is evident that the elite through their great machine of banks, corrupt politicians, corrupt judges, corrupt laws and unimaginable economic power, have plagued the American people with economic slavery.  There are other elements of the great machine that were not mentioned.  Some of these elements are as listed below but are not limited to:

1. American Capitalism whose only purpose is to make money at all costs – needs regulatory legislation and enforcement
2. The cost of higher education – graduating college with a debt of $45 thousand to several hundred thousand dollars is instantaneous servitude
3. The lack of living wage laws keep people in a constant state of poverty
4. Right to work laws which do not protect a worker’s right to work. They give employers the right to fire employees without cause.
5. The implementation of laws and Supreme Court decisions that stripped labor unions of their power to protect workers.
6. Lack of regulation over food and chemical manufacturers such as Monsanto and Archer Daniels Midland.
7. Tax laws like the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017^{11} cut the taxes for corporations and the wealthy far more significantly than it did for poor and middle-class citizens. Based upon early 2019 IRS reports, it actually increased the tax burden on the bulk of Americans by more than $1,500 – $2,300
8. The high costs of healthcare – most industrialized nations including the UK and Canada provide universal healthcare

The case for economic slavery has been presented.  The proof is evident of a plan to dominate food production, which includes costs and food quality, is evidenced by Monsanto’s creation of GMOs and the federal government’s refusal to protect its citizens from the health hazards caused by GMOs.  Major Corporations have been found to abuse children through their labor practices or lack of.  Supreme Court decisions have overturned state usury laws designed to protect you.  Our government, on behalf of corporations and purely for the benefit of these companies, has placed the lives of American troops at risk to overthrow foreign nations.   Legislation passed during the Great Depression to protect against economic slavery has been rescinded.   In 2017, new legislation was passed to facilitate economic slavery.  Also, proof of a planned coup by Wall Street millionaires, members of Americas Oligarchy has been detailed and documented.  And finally, out of the mouth of David Rockefeller, the quintessential elitist comes an unsolicited admission of guilt while detailing his intentions and plans before a representative world body of bankers, corporatists and global leaders.

To some elite, you are their enemy.  As such, they employ the use of a quote from The Art of War by Sun Tzu: “The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy, so that he cannot fathom our real intent.”  Our very own Wizard of Oz, Donald J. Trump stated: “This country is doing better than it’s ever done before, economically.”  He continued with, “But it’s all working out. Just remember: What you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening.”  In other words, “Don’t pay any attention to that man behind the curtain.”  Considering that Trump has a strong base of 35%-40% of the American population that believes that he can-do-no-wrong and that he will “Make America Great Again” is there any wonder why the American people are suffering from economic oppression in the form of “Slavery with a smile!”
