The following article was written by a very close friend of mine, named James Bartley. I wholeheartedly agree with what puzzlepieces said about the agenda that is being carried out on those who reside in rural area's, but the assault has been going on nearly as long as we have been a nation.
I have posted a link for those interested enough to read the entire article. James is an incredibly thoughtful, well balanced person with a wealth of information, and I believe that the reader will come away with a sense of knowledge and understanding as to were we actually stand in the great scheme of things.

" I will say this more than once during this treatise: 98% of all Americans are dead or broke by the age of 65 and even that wasn't good enough for the Illuminati.
The minimum retirement age in America is now 70. This is why you see senior citizens working in Fast Food Restaurants. Its not because they are "bored and have nothing better to do." Its because they enjoy having things like a roof over their heads and food to eat.
Virtually every decision people make is predicated on Time and Money or rather, the lack thereof. It is absolutely essential for the reader to understand this. This was all planned and it was planned by an inhuman intelligence that thinks ahead in terms of decades and centuries unlike most Americans who can see no further than the next paycheck.
People are too busy trying to eke out a subsistence existence and consequently lack the time or the intellectual capacity to ponder the truly important questions in life like... why is it so hard to get ahead in this world? As Henry David Thoreau once said: "People are living lives of quiet desperation." And they don't even know it.
Television shows like "Leave it to Beaver" and the "Ozzie and Harriet Show" accurately portrayed the lifestyle of an American family in the 1950's and early 1960's. Ward Cleaver was the sole breadwinner in the family while his June wife stayed home and raised two well adjusted kids. Everything in the home was bought and paid for.
Back then people paid for Goods and Services IN CASH. Contrast that with what is happening today. Americans are up to their eyeballs in consumer debt.
Business Journals are now describing "The Four Income Family" with both parents holding two jobs. This is already happening in places like Hawaii where the cost of living is outrageous. Meanwhile what is happening to the young children of the working parents? Often as not they are shunted off to day care centers to be raised by strangers.
Business journals have stated for the record that in order to retire with any sort of dignity and quality of life, we must each have saved a minimum of ONE MILLION DOLLARS unencumbered by debt. How's everyone doing so far?
The # 1 cause of Divorce in this country is the STRESS and UNHAPPINESS generated within the relationship by DEBT and the Lack of Money. One of the major causes of illnesses in this country is STRESS created by DEBT and the Lack of Money, but mere statistics can never tell the real story.
People in Customer Service Related jobs will tell you it is absolutely normal for customers to call up and make a payment arrangement for a $15 Bill. "I get paid on the 1st and the 15th of the month so I'll send in a payment on the 16th." Bank Tellers will tell you just how low the balance is on the average customers bank account.
Just ask them. You will be amazed.
Now multiply all those anecdotal stories by the 200 million plus population of America and you start to get the picture. Remember that one tenth of one per cent of America's population enjoys the top lifestyle on the planet, and yet it is many of these same elitist who coined the war cry, "Money isn't everything!"
If that is the case why are Americans slowly but surely being WORKED TO DEATH? People are literally DYING ON THE JOB. Its amazing how tossing $50,000 into the equation can solve most family problems. I've tried being broke and miserable. I'd like to try being rich and miserable for a change.
Keep in mind that this poverty consciousness really gained momentum a scant eighty eight years ago with the creation of the Federal Reserve Banking System in 1913. Thirteen is an occulted number. 1933 was the year the "Eye in the Triangle" symbol first appeared on the Federal Reserve Notes.
Thirty three is likewise an occultic number. 1933 marked the first appearance of the Latin inscription "Annuit Coeptus: Novus Ordo Seclorum." The translation? "Our Enterprise is Crowned With Success: A New World Order." Indeed.
One of the first things the American Historical Society set out to do was change America from a country that promoted FREE ENTERPRISE and ENTREPRENEURALISM into a country that embraced BIG BUSINESS and favored the multi-national corporations and banks. This occurred during one of the most under-appreciated and misunderstood periods of American history, the Reconstruction period.
If you look back in America's history, you will find that the further you go back into time, the more likely you will find that Americans owned and operated their own businesses. Whether these businesses were Farms, Mills, Tanneries or Shops, often as not the businesses were family owned and passed down from generation to generation. For those who didn't inherit a family run business, an entrepreneur would often set up his own business in whatever trade that best suited his skills and temperament. Again, the readers can test this for themselves. Find out what your grandfathers and great-grandfathers did for a living and you will find that most of them were SELF EMPLOYED.
This is an important distinction to make. The pilgrims didn't come here because they heard that IBM was hiring. They came here to practice religious and ECONOMIC FREEDOM. They and their successors wanted to own and operate their own businesses and reap the harvest of their own labors just as their ancestors did.
This business mindset has largely been removed from the human consciousness. The world is rushing towards a Collectivist-Communist super state because private ownership and free enterprise is being stamped out.
The Starship U.S.S.. Enterprise of Star Trek fame has tremendous personal and metaphorical meaning for me. One of the greatest aircraft carriers in history was named after free Enterprise. Free Enterprise allowed average business owners the opportunity to make as much or as little money as required to finance their particular lifestyles. I said LIFESTYLES not subsistence existence.
The dangers that FREE ENTERPRISE presented for the Drac-Reptilian overlords i.e. the Illuminati during the Reconstruction period was two-fold. First of all, many of the Entrepreneurs and Businessmen were not taking loans from banks. This was a situation that was simply intolerable for the drac controlled money changers and money lenders.
Secondly America was largely an agricultural society back then. Most of the population lived in the country. Citizens tended to stay in the countryside and work in their family's farms, ranches and artisan shops. The Illuminati had to find a way to get these people away from the family run businesses in the countryside and into the Illuminati controlled factories in the cities. Again, this was a process that spanned decades.
The Illuminati resolved this problem by first ensuring that legislation would be passed that would make it increasingly difficult for Americans to run their own businesses. Today we see this in the form of endless licensing restrictions, zoning regulations, punitive taxation and the like.
Secondly the American Historical Society, having returned from England as trained cadres imbued with the beliefs of COMMUNISM and COLLECTIVISM than began to indoctrinate their academic colleagues with these same beliefs. It wasn't long before the tenets of Communism and Collectivism began to creep into school curriculums. I will give short shrift to this because once again, the Truth is all around us in society.
Have you ever heard the following statement? "If you go to school, study hard and get good grades, you will be successful." Has anyone heard that statement besides me? What is happening is that CONSUMERISM instead of FREE ENTERPRISE and ENTREPRENEURALISM is being taught in todays high schools and colleges.
Small privately owned businesses have always been the backbone of this country yet countless American students are paying good money to be taught how to become someone's employee. The goal for many college graduates is to obtain a position with a large corporation because they equate large corporations with stability. One look at how many employees have been left out of the equation after corporate mergers should disabuse most people of that erroneous belief.
Free Enterprise ensures FREEDOM. Isn't it curious that immigrants come to this country, barely able to speak English and within months establish their own businesses often as not HIRING Americans to sweep their floors and operate their cash registers?
Why is it that immigrants know that FREE ENTERPRISE is the fundamental basis for the "American Dream " and Americans born and bred here study for years merely to become someone else's employee? We are never paid what we are worth, we are only paid what the job is worth. Bottom line, if you are trading hours for dollars, you will NEVER overcome inflation and will probably have to rely on CREDIT which is just a euphemism for DEBT, to make ends meet.
This is absolutely essential to understand because Americans have been brainwashed into believing that we are FREE simply because we live in America. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are only as FREE as we allow ourselves to be and freedom whether or not anyone wants to admit it, and this is where I'll lose the New Age metaphysical crowd, HAS A DOLLAR SIGN NEXT TO IT.
Financial Independence means being debt free and having enough money saved to enjoy a particular lifestyle. It means being in total control of ones own clock and calendar. Often as not it means somehow developing a RESIDUAL INCOME i.e. capitalizing on an existing income stream that never runs out.. And not have to work yourself to death in the process, but American students are not taught any of these things.
They are told that upon graduation they can become "professionals" and accept the fact that they may have to work extremely long hours just to get themselves "established." I see right through "professionals" There is nothing appealing or ego boosting to me about working extremely long hours for so little return just to maintain the facade of the "professional lifestyle.".
Many people have the trappings of "success" i.e. big comfortable houses and nice shiny cars but in reality they are just BROKE AT A HIGHER LEVEL. They still aren't Financially Independent. Once again: 98% of all Americans are dead or broke by the age of 65.
The manipulation of the educational and financial systems ensured that millions of Americans would live in a state of ECONOMIC BONDAGE. Americans are running out of money before they run out of month.
Americans are fed the deceit that if they go to school and study hard, then somehow some way, at the end of the rainbow, they will find financial security. Again this flies in the face of the facts. 98% per cent of all Americans are dead or broke by the age of 65. Many Americans who WILL become dead or broke by the age of 65 are college graduates.. And yet most self made millionaires in this country never went to college. A significant percentage of them never even went to HIGH SCHOOL. So why is so much emphasis placed on GOING TO SCHOOL and earning a degree?
No one has yet to explain to me, how a broke business professor who has never owned and operated his own business, can ever TEACH others how to be successful business owners."
