Power is risking our way of life
Our way of life is at risk; it is not only about money, it is about control. One of the greatest weapons used by the “ruling aristocracy” to protect their financial interests and advance their power agenda is to use little known civil laws, to make felons out of most any law abiding citizen.

They have gained control of every facet of our life. Their long arm of control extends over the entire judicial system, law enforcement, legislation, all major media. For example, their ignoring of candidate for president, Dr. Ron Paul, the only presidential candidate with a real concern for the American citizen, the Constitution and the sovereignty and freedom of each of us.
