Brilliant and completely fascinating. Extremely long but absolutely worth it. Suggest putting aside until you have the time and frame of mind to totally absorb.

One Jefferson quote and a few paragraphs near the end of the piece.

“The path forward isn’t about partisan politics but about fundamental questions of consent and sovereignty. Thomas Jefferson noted that an informed citizenry is the only true foundation of democratic governance, warning “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”

If we are to reclaim our sovereignty, we must first take action to understand what is being done without our consent. By asking better questions about the nature of sovereignty, money, and citizenship, we begin the essential process of restoring genuine understanding – without which no governance system can truly claim legitimacy.” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/what-if-america-you-pledge-allegiance-isnt-one-running-show
