Key Takeaways
1. America is a Zombie Nation: Mindless Consumption and Eroding Freedoms
“A continuous series of such acts pursued through both Democratic and Republican administrations clearly proves there is a deliberate and systematic plan to reduce once-free Americans to slavery.”
Mindless existence. The book argues that many Americans exist in a zombie-like state, going through daily routines without awareness or purpose. This is attributed to factors like drug use, media bombardment, and a general loss of individual freedoms. The author uses the term "zombie" to describe this condition, highlighting a society that is barely alive and living mindlessly.
Economic and social decay. The book points to economic decline, increasing debt, and the erosion of individual freedoms as key indicators of America's zombie-like state. The shift from a vibrant republic to a decaying empire is blamed on a financial elite seeking global socialist domination. The author suggests that the nation is merely mimicking its former self, lacking the spark of life, verve, or enthusiasm.
Wake-up call. The book serves as a wake-up call, urging readers to recognize the true horror story: the deliberate and systematic plan to reduce Americans to slavery. It questions whether this is simply a case of inattention, natural evolution, or a deliberate conspiracy. The author sets the stage for exploring the forces behind this transformation and how to break free from the bonds of a zombie nation.
2. The Trillion-Dollar Conspiracy: A Deliberate Plan for Economic Enslavement
“These globalists, who have manipulated world history for decades, if not centuries, are working a plan to turn the once-free and prosperous Republic of the United States into a socialist state populated by dumbed-down and destitute zombies by draining dry the nation’s money supply.”
Globalist agenda. The book alleges a conspiracy by globalist financiers and industrialists to control the world through a "New World Order." This order is characterized by a small group of wealthy individuals centered within secret societies, manipulating Western history for their own gain. The author claims that these globalists have taken control of the United States and are changing it in ways that were unimaginable just two decades ago.
Financial manipulation. The author accuses globalists of creating the Federal Reserve in America through deceitful political machinations, funding communism in Russia, and financing National Socialism in Germany. The book asserts that these globalists are now working to debase the U.S. economy and impose a socialist system, draining the nation's money supply and turning Americans into "dumbed-down and destitute zombies."
Call to action. The book urges readers to understand the true nature of the conspiracy and to take action to reclaim their country. It emphasizes the need to identify and confront the real rulers of America, arguing that no amount of hand-wringing, letter writing, or demonstrating can have any meaningful effect until this is done. The author frames the situation as a "trillion-dollar conspiracy" that requires a revolutionary act of truth-telling.
3. Political and Financial Collusion: Hacking the System
“There is an inseparable blend of political and financial control in modern America.”
Political hacking. The book asserts that politics is a necessary partner in any widespread and high-level conspiracy. It highlights the inseparable blend of political and financial control in modern America, found within the Federal Reserve System, in the corridors of Washington and Wall Street. The author suggests that the nation is past bankruptcy, with debt far exceeding gross domestic production.
Foreign trade and bonds. The book criticizes international trade deficits and the movement toward globalization, which have weakened American industry and agriculture. It raises concerns about foreign creditors moving away from the United States and the potential for a new global currency to replace the dollar. The author suggests that the economic meltdown was not accidental but a deliberate effort to shore up the U.S. dollar and transfer wealth.
Liars' loans and deregulation. The book accuses banks of engaging in fraudulent practices, such as creating "liars' loans" and failing to check the information provided by loan applicants. It also criticizes the deregulation of the financial industry, particularly the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which removed Depression-era laws and contributed to the sub-prime mortgage crisis. The author suggests that these actions were part of a deliberate plan to undermine the U.S. financial system.
4. Creating Debt Slaves: A Cycle of Dependence
“One sure way to create a slave is to ensure a person is indebted.”
Debt as a tool of enslavement. The book argues that debt is a key tool used to control and enslave individuals. It suggests that anyone who cannot do the things a free person can do because of mortgages, bills, and the need for a monthly paycheck should be considered a debt slave. The author claims that the economic crisis of 2008 was engineered to increase debt and force Americans into a state of dependence.
Stimulus package and austerity. The book criticizes the Obama administration's stimulus package, arguing that it was merely throwing good money after bad and exacerbating the debt crisis. It suggests that the stimulus plan served the interests of Wall Street, defense contractors, and oil conglomerates, while leading America into a spiraling public debt crisis. The author claims that the American taxpayer has been made the lender of last resort for failing financial institutions.
Before the crash. The book points to the government pressure on lending institutions to issue subprime mortgages as a key factor in the economic crisis. It accuses both Democratic and Republican administrations of colluding to undermine the Glass-Steagall Act and deregulate the financial industry. The author suggests that the economic collapse was orchestrated to push America into a tightly controlled socialist society.
5. Debilitating the Population: Food, Water, and Pharmaceuticals
“The real purpose behind water fluoridation is to reduce the resistance of the masses to domination and control and loss of liberty.”
Unhealthy food and water. The book argues that Americans are unhealthy, obese, and overmedicated due to the poor quality of food and water. It criticizes the food industry's "Smart Choices" program as a deceptive marketing scam and raises concerns about genetically modified foods and growth hormones. The author also alleges that water fluoridation is a means of mass control, reducing resistance to domination and loss of liberty.
Drugging the population. The book accuses Big Pharm of drugging the population with psychiatric drugs, such as Adderall, and promoting disease-mongering to increase profits. It raises concerns about the safety of aspartame and the potential for drug interactions. The author suggests that the pharmaceutical industry is more focused on marketing than on developing safe and effective drugs.
Health-care crisis. The book criticizes the American health-care system as being in a shambles, with high costs, inadequate coverage, and a lack of integrity. It suggests that the government takeover of health care is a move toward regulated socialism and that the globalists are using the health-care crisis to further their agenda. The author also raises concerns about the Codex Alimentarius Commission and its potential to restrict access to vitamins and mineral supplements.
6. Mind Control: The Weaponization of Psychology and Media
“All Socialism involves slavery.”
Media control and fearmongering. The book argues that the corporate mass media is used to control and manipulate the public, promoting fear and suppressing dissenting voices. It criticizes the government's use of perception management and propaganda to shape public opinion. The author suggests that the media has become a tool for the New World Order, promoting a globalist agenda and silencing those who challenge it.
Psychiatry and eugenics. The book traces the history of psychiatry and its connection to eugenics, particularly in Nazi Germany. It suggests that modern psychiatry is being used to label and control individuals who deviate from the norm, drawing parallels to the Nazi euthanasia program. The author raises concerns about the increasing number of children being diagnosed with mental disorders and medicated with psychotropic drugs.
Dumbed-down education. The book criticizes the American education system as being designed to dumb down the population and create workers, not thinkers. It suggests that controversial educational programs, such as those promoted by the General Education Board, are part of a deliberate plan to undermine critical thinking and individual freedom. The author also raises concerns about the influence of the intelligence community on education and the erosion of traditional values.
7. The Rise of the Police State: Surveillance and Control
“All Socialism involves slavery.”
PATRIOT Act and surveillance. The book argues that the PATRIOT Act and other legislation have eroded civil liberties and created a police state in America. It criticizes the government's use of electronic surveillance, data mining, and other intrusive technologies to monitor the population. The author suggests that these measures are part of a plan to control and suppress dissent.
FEMA and government camps. The book raises concerns about the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and its potential role in establishing government camps for dissidents. It cites reports of government camps, stockpiles of coffins, and plans for martial law as evidence of a growing police state. The author suggests that these measures are designed to frighten the population into submission.
American Police Force and deficient border patrol. The book criticizes the rise of private security contractors and the militarization of local police forces. It raises concerns about the lack of border security and the potential for terrorists to enter the country. The author suggests that these factors are contributing to the erosion of American sovereignty and the rise of a police state.
8. Three Boxes of Freedom: A Path to Reclamation
“It does not take a majority to prevail…but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”
The soap box: An unfettered news media. The book emphasizes the importance of an unfettered news media to combat corruption and tyranny. It calls for a return to investigative journalism and a rejection of government-dictated news. The author suggests that an informed and engaged citizenry is essential for maintaining liberty.
The ballot box: Audit the Fed and fire Congress. The book urges readers to take action through the ballot box, advocating for an audit of the Federal Reserve, term limits for Congress, and the enforcement of the Tenth Amendment. It suggests that these measures are necessary to restore constitutional government and limit the power of the federal government. The author also calls for nonviolent noncompliance with unjust laws.
The ammo box: Gun and ammo sales booming. The book acknowledges the importance of the right to bear arms as a final check on government tyranny. It notes the booming sales of guns and ammunition as a sign that Americans are preparing to defend their freedom. The author suggests that an armed citizenry is the ultimate deterrent against government overreach.
