Children in the US are raised to be communists. Most of the parents are, too, and don’t even know it.

Banking systems around the world have huge effects on our lives, yet few people understand how banks work. Worse yet, even fewer understand the malign powers of central banks and how this system undermines economies. Thus, it is important to demystify these systems.
