The Secret Government [View all]

I am not sure if this qualifies as a conspiracy theory. Posting here so I am not in trouble for posting in GD

In doing a little research on the "shadow" or "secret" government that actually runs our country, I found this speech from all the way back in 1922. The then Governor of New York City, John Francis Hylan, gave a speech that is quoted, in part, on the meme below.



I created that in order to be able to tweet the speech.

It is very interesting to me that with the same players were accused in 1922 as are accused today. More accurately, relatives thereof, and leaders of the same corporations.

How do we knock down a "club" so influential for so many years, nearly a century that we know of? Though there was a time when they at least had to pretend to give in from time to time, that is no longer true.

We are no longer a republic. We have become an oligarchy. The police are the military for the rich in a war on the US citizens. We are watched, spied on, brutalized, marginalized, slandered, or minimally, ignored. The two parties have become hard to tell apart in so many aspects. Money is god and we are to worship those who have it.

Are we doomed? Can we fight? If so, how?
