Possibilities are endless when the collective heads are pulled out of the collective asses. Taking the good and avoiding(or getting rid) of the bad of the past(and learning from it) is the best path forward to a much brighter future. Nice summarily done piece. God Bless!!!

Thanks Matt. Having grown up in Detroit and run back and forth to Windsor more times than I can count I can remember how differently Canadians viewed the world then Americans like me did. I always enjoyed the differences while thoroughly enjoying all the time I spent in Canada.

I have enjoyed your Breaking History show with GBPH. Growing up I loved history but my 1st College history class (and my last) stomped on my enthusiasm but your show reminded me of what I loved.

With all that said I find that looking at history now with post Awakening eyes forces me to be very skeptical. So I will continue to absorb data like what you and GBPH put out but I won't anchor myself in historical "facts".

God Wins!

God Bless!!!

What a tapestry...

Wanted to add that this is further complicated by actions taken by these players which were noble in their own right. Even if misguided or (documented as such), Andrew Jackson for example was the only president to successfully kill a central bank in the USA once it was established. It's been many years now so the details evade my memory, but it was one issue he felt compelled to complete before his passing.

The next central bank to survive was the Federal Reserve and we've seen how that went...

Matthew, TY for a historic panoramic overview of the push & pull btwn innovative virtue-inspired capitalism versus predatory greed-driven power-mongering meglomania. It is time to revive a more evolved worldview free from myopic scarcity-consciousness fear programs. Abundant wealth in this world is plentiful for one and all. Hidden parasites need to be exposed in order to expunge their negativity in favor of a world filled w/ opportunity.

We need 1st class railways across the USA. In Germany they run parallel with the autobahn. Why we have not a better transportation system is due to corruption that has severely stunted our growth. Our Representatives are useless scum on the dole! That pile of money in the Apple pie box is what they do best! AUDITS are needed! Lock up the Corrupt! Constuction zones every summer of junk material that doesn't hold up a year. Metro airport Detroit has been under construction for 40 yrs on the same one road in and out. These never-ending contracts to keep one road under construction for 40 plus years, as one example of corruption, have ripped taxpayers off! I hope Trump also authorizes Japan to build us a real railway system like they have, above and below ground, as they are tops when it comes to this! The construction Mafia has every piece of worthy machinery in Dubai, building them a world class place. We need them here, only WE ARE BROKE because of CORRUPTION by our REPRESENTATIVES who became millionaires at the cost of every generation's demise!

“The man who is today celebrated for having “killed the bank” and “paying Americas debts” was in reality a force of pure destruction.”

Isn’t Trump a fan of Jackson?

He’s a fan of the only man who killed the federal bank…..the federal reserve central bank is the key to globalist control of the US and the enemy. Common goals can be respected without being a fan of 100% of one’s actions.

Economists and historians acknowledge the huge contribution to the economy made by unpaid indentured servants in the colonial and early national period. In the revolutionary period the use of wage laborers rose and use of indentured unpaid "bound laborers" decreased.

The tobacco farms and other agriculture industries could not have thrived without these unpaid unfree workers. Mortality rates were high for indentured unfree workers, and conditions were gruelling.

Philadelphia archives show that the majority of indentured servants coming in from overseas were under the age of 20 and most died before their contracts finished.

Subject to total control of the master, indentured servants could be harshly treated, underfed. They needed permission from the master to marry. Minors who were indentured servants were legally under the masters control til age 24 or sometimes 21.

Indentured servants could be bought and sold to other masters. The bound servant had no choice, could not leave, was not paid a wage. They were given some food.

I did not review every region, but I noted that in in Antebellum Mountain South, any citizen or immigrant, adult or child could be sold by the county into indentured slavery-servitude if they could not support themselves, eg man fell into debt, a family's husband/dad died. Two thirds were women and children sold into servitude. Free whites, blacks, indians who ended up in a poorhouse met this fate. No wonder the principle of self-sufficiency is ingrained in so many good people. The consequences are not good if you let an institution take over the care of you.

Orphans were bound into servitude to the master that bought their servitude until they were age 24 in some places, or 21 in Eastern Kentucky.

Unpaid bound child labor, Unpaid bound Adult labor, amid sometimes cruel conditions for these indentured servants, helped to build the USA in numerous regions and contributed to agriculture and artisan-type industries between the 17th century and 19th century.

That's a brilliant summary of U.S. history, and more current world history with a primary focus on economics.

No discussion of the fight around the economics of slavery is complete without at least an honorable mention of the brave souls John Brown, and Nat Turner.

Alfred McCoy's brilliant book, " In The Shadows Of the American Century: The Rise And Decline of U.S. Global Power" explains how empires rise, and fall, and also the importance of the Russian Eurasian land mass to world economics. BRICS began in earnest in about 2010 its plan to subvert the U.S. petrol dollar fascist hegemony. It's all going to plan. When Trump is more firmly back in command, he never really left anyway, things will go well. It takes time to take down the Fourth Reich International that was formed after the Nazis won WWII in reality but lost in on paper.

What an excellent assessment of how people from various backgrounds, cultures and countries can work together toward a common good for all the countries participating; toward peaceful, independent societies vs. globalist tyranny. The US itself has demonstrated clearly something I’ve observed for ages: everything designed for good will be used for evil by people determined to control and enslave mankind. Those who stood in the way here were killed and it also clearly showed the influence of other nations to fulfill their plans.

Yes, the US has always been divided intentionally and because of this has done much evil in the world for the last 140 years or so.

What we see today are the visionary leaders of a few countries who have a common goal for their country and population that completely thwarts the desire for a one world feudal system. Thankfully, we are poised to join our visionary leadership with others who are proud nationalists. We need to ensure that all nations can cooperate to achieve individual freedom while respecting economies and borders…..to the long term benefit of all mankind.

God bless you for sharing your research through this thoughtful article!🙏🙏
