Most Americans believe that the United States of America is a beacon of democracy and raw capitalism, the leader of the “free” world. The founding fathers had every intention of transforming the new world into a full-fledged democracy, devoid of any monarchy or source of totalitarian power. The Constitution itself requires that our government be “of, for, and by the people” and be divided into complex units of checks and balances, designed to thwart any potential power struggle by a specific branch. In essence, the United States Constitution is a perfect model for democracy in its purest form, with power and control in the hands of its citizens. Unfortunately today this is not the case. By giving up the right to print its own currency in 1913, the United States government bequeathed its powers to a select few, who have owned and operated this country ever since. They are the true masters of the domestic and foreign policy of the United States. Just as a company issues stock to function as a manufacturing entity, a country must issue currency to finance its operations. This currency is the lifeblood of a nation, creating wealth for its citizens by promoting economic development and providing infrastructure and public services. In a true democracy, the government is owned by the citizens and is run by representatives of the population as a whole, who control and, most importantly, regulate the issuance of this currency. This is a key point to remember. Just as a public company [that issues too many shares] can be punished by public markets for diluting its share structure, a nation's currency can suffer the same effects through inflation if the government prints too much money. compared to the value of the economy. This can be maintained... mid-paper... into the 21st century and beyond, it depends on it. Thanks to innovations like the Internet, the public's ability to access information that was once kept hidden from view is now possible. This instills hope that, just as the LOTR Fellowship ultimately succeeded in thwarting Sauron's efforts, we, as citizens of the United States, can succeed in abolishing the Federal Reserve system and help return this nation to the democratic vision of our ancestors.http ://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/frseries/frseri.htmDelaware Corporation n. 0042817, https://sos-res.state.de.us/tin/GINameSearch.jsphttp://www.lib.umich.edu /govdocs/jfkeo/eo/11110.htmDiLorenzo, Thomas J. 1994.
