"The collapse of the monetary system is only Act One in the destruction of the rule of law, of democracy, of the republic itself. Just what time is it exactly? How bad is it?"

' H.L. Mencken once said of democracy, "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard." '

We deserve what we get if we don't pay attention to what's happing now, and in history.

The collapse of the monetary system is only Act One in the destruction of the rule of law, of democracy, of the republic itself. The military industrial complex has trumped all the elected institutions through K-street lobbyists -- in plain view; and under the table through the corruption of elected officials who with out the lobby of mass movements to hinder their voting, are free to rake in illegal corporate cash in exchange for votes in our democratic institutions.

Just what time is it exactly? How bad is it? We all need to know.
