I'm reading a book (e-book @ the moment, physical copy is out next month): Exposed - The Financial Matrix: the author draws a comparison to the Matrix movie where the inhabitants have their energy & productive capacity sucked up by the machines while experiencing an alternate reality. He mentions fractional reserve banking - where they 100 times the money supply by merely typing the loan amount into your paperwork: the same "million" can be lent to 10 or more different people - all of whom must, obviously pay it back.
If we were to type the payments back, we'd be arrested.
Trump upset the apple-cart -- and I believe a ground war will be necessary to address it -- and that's why D.C. is now militarized.
