n the movie The Matrix, Morpheus offers
Neo a choice: take the blue pill and remain
in ignorance of the illusion, the fabricated
reality of the Matrix, or take the red pill and
embrace the sometimes painful truth of
reality, which would allow him to escape from
the Matrix and experience the real world.
More and more people are “taking the red
pill”, discovering the truth about the global
monetary system. And many are no longer
content to simply remain ignorant and enslaved
by a matrix created by a global financial system
designed to keep 99% of the world’s people
from true personal and financial freedom.
The truth is out. People around the globe are
waking up to the reality of the “real world”
– in which “money” is no longer backed by
gold reserves, making it essentially worthless.
Instead, private central banks, as well as
individual f inancial institutions, use the
fractional reserve system to create “money”
from thin air, based on “promises to pay”.
Instead of governments issuing interest-free
money, they are borrowing “money” at interest
rates (which we now know are manipulated)
from privately-owned central banks, enslaving
their populations into debt to these private
corporations for generations.
It is a system that has been vehemently
opposed by many, who paid the highest price
for their attempts to free the people from this
wicked system. Benjamin Franklin, founding
father of the United States explained the
Revolutionary War as follows: “The refusal of
King George III to allow the colonies to operate
an honest money system, which freed the
ordinary man from the clutches of the money
manipulators, was probably the prime cause
of the revolution.” Many leaders have been
assassinated and countless soldiers have died in
wars designed for one purpose: to enslave the
people to private central banks to ensure untold
riches for their private shareholders.
As such, the debt can never be repaid. By
simply “printing” ever more “money”, not backed
by gold reserves but simply based on “promises to
pay”, central banks create inflation and enslave
entire populations with huge debts for which
each and every citizen becomes personally liable.
Not only do governments need to raise evermore taxes to service the interest on the debts
they make on behalf of the people, this debt

must also be repaid, and this, as the people of
Cyprus recently discovered, can and will be done
by appropriating money from the bank accounts
of private citizens.
