America hasn't been a democracy for quite a while. It would be nice if it lost the oligarchy and went back to being a democracy. Millions of innocent people there wouldn't have to suffer anymore if it did that
Americans don't seem to know the magnitude of how badly their nation and it's governmental powers is being invaded and citizens robbed of their wealth by the invading nation called the evil coalition of elites. To put the damage into perspective and why Americans are struggling for and even fighting for basic needs, it's no wonder, but what is a wonder why the so- called home of the brave won't fight these evil invaders raping and pillaging their nation. Other nations would savagely attack them for what they are doing to humanity
Suppose a person was paid one dollar to walk one tenth of a mile, about one city block. This is about right for the value of labor, as a person who takes home $800 per week is paid the equivalent of walking 80 miles per week which is the work it takes to walk a little over 10 miles per workday.
To have $6 million, a person would have to walk to the planet Jupiter.
Now there are centi-billionaires. What kind of suicidal nation would ever allow that in their society? To walk 100 billion tenths of a mile, (10 billion miles), They would be outside of the solar system. It would take them over 360, 000 years to get there to be a single centi-billionaire. The light from Earth would take 20 hours to reach them.
Now America is saying there will be trillionaires by 2026. To be a trillionaires they would be outside of the solar system and past the Kyper belt 10 times over. It would take them over 3, 600, 000 years to get there, and the size of the sun would be indistinguishable from the other stars.
Times the number of these thieves of humanity. Humanity has its last chance to stop it.

Sounds weak, defeated, old & desperate? Why does she talk so quickly and then get cut off?
