Global Research Wants to Hear From You!

Many historians believe, as do I, that the happiest period of history in the Christian West was during the High Middle Ages within the towns that had grown up most notably within Germany, Italy, France, and England.
Probably the most accessible chronicle of what life was like then may be found in Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales.”
At the centers of these towns were the Gothic cathedrals which were both spiritual and technological hubs. Characteristic of the economic life of the era was the fact that the Church had outlawed usury. This was the key to personal freedom.
The dividing line between that era and our own came into being around 1500, when the German Fugger family persuaded the Pope to begin to allow usury, a practice which quickly spread.
This practice assured that, gradually, all the wealth of society would inevitably accrue to the bankers, especially when they gained the privilege of creating paper money or book-entry credits “out of thin air” and then lending it at interest.
This was the greatest crime of the ages.
We need to remember that the Christian era began when Jesus made his last visit to Jerusalem by going to the Temple and throwing out the money lenders who had desecrated it.
The Temple symbolizes, of course, all human God-given life.
When usury became widespread after 1500, citizens gradually lost all their rights and their human sanctity when they became debtors to the money lenders and were legally mere chattel whose entire well-being, and even their lives (debtors prisons), were sacrificed to the bankers’ greed.
This was understood at the time. It’s what Shakespeare depicted in the “Merchant of Venice.” It’s what the Faust legends were about, with people now selling their souls to the devil as they ruined their fellow humans.
Now, 500 years later, the process is complete. The average person is a debt-slave, subject to regimes of endless war, subject at any time to being imprisoned for the most trivial offenses, and now worthy only of being killed off by the latest “plandemic.”
But humans would be free, so a handful of nations, led by the BRICS, are breaking away from the paradigm of slavery.
These nations are all marked by strong government-owned central banks that see their role as promoting societal welfare, not as prison-guards and propagandists who work for the bankers and other elites.
It now appears that the nations of the West controlled by the regime of usury have given up on world control and are trying merely to “secure the realm” by the ever-more perfect enslavement of their increasingly unhealthy and oppressed subject populations. Meanwhile, they push and probe around the perimeters looking for weaknesses among those nations who have said “no.”
There are indeed people in the West who seek to escape, but any organized movement is immediately crushed. Still, some few individuals may find a way…..Blessings to them.

Comment: Steve Bannon is a British Asset. So are our Top Banksters, Top Military and Top Politicians. That being said there are Cabal people who are not happy with the cabal. At this point what I am seeing is that the Cabal’s power is so encompassing they will not ALLOW anyone into office with a desire to represent the American People! All politicians have been filmed having sex with Cabal’s Monarch Child Sex Slaves and this went on with Trump’s mentor Roy Cohn who RAN the little Boys for the CIA. This is Classified by the CIA whose Child Rape Rings for Mind Control were funded by the Rockefellers & Rothschilds who Colluded with the British Monarchy to Create Tavistock for mind control & Social Engineering to Force people against their will to do what this Crime Syndicate wanted.

Our government is out of touch with the people! Speaker Mike Johnson handed the democrats everything they ever dreamed of and more. Hakeem Jeffries, a Marxist and the Democrat minority leader in the House of Representatives, brazenly brags on national television that he and his band of communists are now controlling the legislative agenda through the Republican speaker’s office. America is $36 trillion dollars in debt and even with a so-called arch conservative in the Speaker’s seat we are unable to extricate ourselves from the massive financial collapse that will eventually come. When that happens none of the endless war policy, spying on our own citizens without a warrant, or government benefit payouts will matter. I tell you though, that we can still save the country, even now, when many false Republicans have been re-elected to their seats of power in the Congress, we still have opportunities to change things. Every two years, that is the election cycle for the House and for good reason, to enable us to remove bad actors there and the challenge is, do we have the will to get the job done. We present to the voters today, another opportunity to do so. My guest today is Speaker Mike Johnson’s primary opponent in Louisiana’s 4th Congressional District Josh Morrot. Josh is a Louisiana native born on Fort Polk, the son of a US Army veteran who grew up in a small town where he learned the value of hard work, community service, and family. He is a dedicated father and husband, a school teacher and former insurance agent.
