Return of Our Country

by David M Burke

  It was the very next morning and, because of the events from the previous night, George had gone to bed late. He woke abruptly. The last time Krieger banged on my door like that was when seven politicians were found dead on the steps of the old Senate building.

  Inhaling deeply, George glanced at his wife who simply nodded with a smile and rolled over with a pillow covering half of her head.

  He sat up, turned toward the door and said, “I’ll be right there.”

  Krieger receded to the sitting room, where Adam and Gabby were standing.

  Moments later George appeared.

  “Good morning, Mr. President,” Gabby greeted.

  “Morning Gabby, Adam… Colonel.”

  “Mr. President,” Gabby began, “we just received word that OPEC announced they will no longer accept the dollar for payments of their oil.”

  George looked from Gabby to Adam. “I’m surprised, with the American family connections they have. What does this mean?”

  “That’s not all,” Adam added. George had responded too quickly for Gabby to finish.

  Adam nodded back towards Gabby for her to continue.

  “Several other countries seem to be following suit, and the futures markets are down over a thousand points.”

  As press secretary, Gabby was giving the background already being reported. They needed to frame the presentation for the media. She had been with the president from the beginning of his campaign, and he trusted her judgement and instincts implicitly.

  “What’s your take on this?” the president asked her.

  Gabby continued. “My gut feel is that this isn’t coincidental. We’ve made plans to drill more oil on federal land. Our contractors are building the pipelines quickly in order to capitalize on the incentives in their contracts. The oil cartels know we can drop gasoline prices, and they’ll be well under current rates… possibly in the two-dollar range with our reduced regulations and new mini-refineries. We’re already exporting a lot of oil. It won’t be long before they’re unable to afford to funnel oil money to terrorist organizations. We’re decentralizing global oil power and taking all that economic power and giving it back to the middle class. They know it, so this could be retaliation. But it still doesn’t make sense.”

  “What doesn’t make sense?” George asked. He needed clarification. It made sense to him.

  “You’d think they’d want to maximize their profit from us as long as they could,” Gabby said.

  George thought for a second and nodded in agreement. “You’re thinking there may be more to it?”

  Gabby needed more information. “I’ll make some phone calls and see what I can find out.”

  George looked from face to face. “What else do we know?”

  Gabby cocked her head. “I thought this was unrelated, but now I’m not sure. The ambassador from Germany called a press conference.”

  George looked to Adam. “Call them and see what they’re going to talk about.”

  “I just did, in your name, Mr. President.”

  George knew that was the best way to get them to respond. But he saw disappointment in Adam’s eyes. “The ambassador wouldn’t talk to you?”

  Adam shook his head. “Not at this time, sir.”

  They both knew that meant Germany wouldn’t speak until after they made their announcement. Germany had become a primary spearhead for the globalists, who had taken over the government. They had allowed the country to be flooded with a socialist Islamic culture. It was part of the globalists’ plan. Some of the German people had awakened, but it was too late. Like the French, their middle-class lives were gone. Their citizens were captive within their own countries. Demonstrations and riots left little hope for change.

  Gabby offered, “The press conference is scheduled for seven o’clock, before the market opens.”

  The implications of the unknown resonated through the room. They all knew that an early morning press conference was deliberate. They were usually orchestrated to give the media time to spread whatever the globalists wanted them to. They’d spread their fake news to millions during the morning rush hour. George’s eyes narrowed in contempt.

  * * *

  An hour later, Adam was in the situation room with the president, Gabby and Alexus Hamilton, secretary of treasury and a member of the president’s cabinet. As the secretary of treasury, Hamilton was the principal economic advisor to the president. She played a critical role in domestic and international financial policy. She had been a key advisor to the president for the economic resurgence. Hers was a tough appointment because of her view on tax policy and her outspoken stance on eliminating government debt. But she was one of the foremost experts on banking, and that was the primary reason George had chosen her.

  Together, they watched as the German Ambassador explained to the press that Germany had asked for its gold back several years ago. The previous administration had told them it would take over six years to return it. But they had not delivered on their commitments before leaving office. He now implored the current administration to return their gold immediately.

  He closed with the statement, “Unless they don’t have it.”

  On another screen, a representative from the International Monetary Fund was demanding the immediate release of gold in payment for debts. He explained that, in recent days, several countries had expressed escalating concerns that the US might not have their gold. He added that, “Even their own states don’t have access to their gold.” It was an obvious reference to several states who had requested their gold back from the Federal Reserve, to little avail.

  As the news conferences came to a close, Hamilton softly said, “We know that, in 2013, Germany asked to have over six hundred tons of gold back from the Federal Reserve. When they didn’t receive it, they asked to audit the gold at the Federal Reserve, and were denied. I hadn’t thought about it before, but they must have kept it quiet while both countries were under the globalist regime.” She was obviously referring to George’s predecessor.

  Looking at George she said, “Now that you’re trying to put more money back into the hands of the middle class, they’re counter attacking.”

  George agreed. “It makes sense, but why now?”

  “Maybe they see their time running out. They may be afraid of what you’d do in your second term,” Hamilton surmised.

  As George hesitated in thought, Hamilton explained, “Remember, the IMF is a group of approximately two hundred countries who are controlled by the world bankers. Their agenda is the one world order. It’s a secret organization with no accountability or oversight. If Germany is doing this with IMF backing, you can bet the IMF is thinking something larger.”

  George interrupted. “Can’t we even audit them here in the US?”

  “Not at all, sir.”

  George spoke rhetorically. “Who was stupid enough to do this?”

  Hamilton explained. “The International Monetary Fund, or IMF, and the World Bank were created together in New Hampshire and are now based in Washington, DC. The IMF markets itself as an organization that helps countries orchestrate economic growth by issuing loans. They’ll loan to just about any country willing to agree to their terms. They enrich themselves off countries who have financial crises, which typically they orchestrate. They currently exert enormous power over approximately sixty countries. The key to uncovering their true desires are hidden in their terms and conditions.”

  “Let me guess, they demand collateral, like owning the most valuable infrastructure and assets of the countries.”

  “Of course, Mr. President. You called it… nationalized businesses, natural resources, land, water, you name it.” The Secretary waited for other comments but there were none.

  George continued his questioning. “Okay, so they get this collateral; then what? It can’t be that simple, that’s just not the way these peopl
e work. Where are the hooks?”

  Hamilton’s lower lip retracted and she nodded. “That’s actually a good choice of words, Mr. President. Remember, the truth be told, these people will capture more natural resources when there’s a financial crisis. The country being bailed out is swindled into getting into more debt.”

  George thought to himself, so they’re going to orchestrate a financial crisis.

  Adam added, “Then, to acquire more IMF resources to keep afloat, one of the terms countries agree to is to allow the IMF to decide how much debtor countries will spend on things like education, health care and environmental protection. To keep the general public unaware, they also control the educational systems.”

  “We’re seeing that here,” George commented.

  “Absolutely, it’s a part of the terms and conditions for money we owe them. They control how much a country can spend on education, and won’t allow education about sound financial principles, like the compounding effect of debt on a nation or even an individual.” Alexus Hamilton looked around the room and, after a brief pause, continued. “One of their major tactics is to require collateral. Their end game is to get a nation’s national resources… anything mined or drilled, including water. By controlling water, they can embed charges into every glass of water the population drinks. People pay for it in their bills, and don’t even think about the bill being taxed. They control roads and dams for energy production and tax those as well. All of this is designed to keep people poorer… a poorer middle class… more wealth for them.”

  “Well, is being strict on environmental regulations one of the things the IMF does well?” Gabby questioned.

  Hamilton looked at Gabby and smacked her lips. “They use it as a weapon. You see, they can make the most money in undeveloped countries, where they’ve purchased large portions of land, because they force the government to keep labor and environmental laws that are cheap for them. Then they impose unreasonably restrictive environmental laws in developed countries to make it more expensive to conduct business. The US is a perfect example. They’ve paid politicians to increase environmental regulations and taxes, to increase the expense of doing business in the US. Then the businesses moved to undeveloped countries, where they use children and other cheap labor. There, they have few safety regulations, much lower taxes and very relaxed accounting practices. These world bankers make more money in undeveloped countries than they do in countries like the United States.”

  “Do they really make that much more money in those undeveloped countries? After all, we know the labor is cheaper, but they have to pay for the land, and even build the whole infrastructure system. That’s a huge cost.”

  Alexus Hamilton was patient. “Let me explain. Years ago, these extremely wealthy families purchased large sections of land in these undeveloped countries at virtually no cost.” She deliberately hesitated before making her next point. “Then they talked these countries into taking out loans for infrastructure of roads, sewers, utilities… and even built vacant buildings so business would see the possibility and locate there.” She paused again. “They didn’t tell the countries that they were the ones who owned the very banks they said they had contacts in to get the loans. So, in the end, these super rich families own all this developed land at virtually no cost, while the governments must squeeze the people to pay for the infrastructure for their businesses. Why do you think most of these countries aren’t prospering after all of this?” She finished rhetorically.

  “OMG.” Gabby covered her mouth. “Then they sell the land at a huge profit,” she added.

  “Sometimes, most times, they lease it. That way they get their ORI forever.”

  “ORI?” Gabby questioned.

  “Ongoing residual income. That’s what it’s all about. Their hidden agenda is to acquire multiple streams of ongoing residual income from as many people in as many countries as they can. That way, they’re always receiving money… from water, oil, utilities, from infrastructure, from rent, from global warming taxes, from you and you and you!” The Secretary pointed at each of them.

  Adam was impressed. “That’s the best description of the new world order I’ve ever heard.”

  Hamilton nodded. “That’s what it’s all about.”

  She figured they were ready for more of the truth. “Then they embed their ideology into the culture by mandating decreased benefits, salaries, and even reduced social security benefits to retirees.”

  George said, “What?” Could what he was hearing actually be happening — and now?

  Hamilton was a little sullen. “They did it recently again in Argentina. They reduced retiree income. That’s money they can take immediately. Then, when the retirees have less money, they’ll have less of an ability to see and influence their grandchildren. All this adds up to the elders having less status and time to impart knowledge to the younger generations. They want the younger generations more susceptible to the globalist influence and brainwashing.”

  Hamilton hesitated. She wasn’t sure she wanted to share this next thought, but if ever there was a time, it was now. “They started this here, with the social security increase in the last administration. Remember, the social security tax went from four percent to six percent. The government pulled in fifty percent more social security taxes from workers. They gave retired people less than inflation, and transferred the money into their coffers through the social security slush fund.”

  Adam had understood most of this before and this added detail solidified it in his mind. “This cycle gets larger; the problem gets worse and cycles faster as the debt grows. Their model is designed to make the debtor countries fall into more debt, so more resources are transferred to the IMF… and the cycle continues.”

  Hamilton nodded in agreement. “Have you ever seen a country pay off its debt to the IMF or other countries in the last hundred years?”

  That reality hung in the air.

  George snapped, “That’s what they’re doing to us! They’re going to try to drive us into taking on more debt.”

  Hamilton nodded. “Very possibly.”

  George continued. “We need to audit them and uncover all this.”

  Hamilton shook her head, and emphasized her previous thought. “Mr. President, we have no authority to do that!”

  “Isn’t there any way?” George questioned.

  Alexus Hamilton explained, “The IMF is accountable only to themselves, just like the Federal Reserve. We have no authority or jurisdiction over them… And it’s even worse. They’re funded with taxpayer money. They pay off groups in our own government to make policies in the health, education and environmental departments. They’re a big part of the deep state.” Turning to Adam she added, “That’s another means by which they continue their ways for generations to come.”

  Adam nodded and looked in George’s direction.

  Hamilton wasn’t finished. “Their policies help ensure successful business interests for themselves. For example, countries who are indebted to the IMF are made to give subsidies and tax breaks to other countries, and those countries just happen to be the ones in which the IMF owns large interests.”

  Alexus Hamilton, a loyal American, wanted to impart enough knowledge so they understood. “Remember, the goal is always to increase a debtor nation’s debt until the IMF can take over a controlling interest in the country. During bailouts, these people use every trick in the book to maximize the debt of the nation needing help. They’ve been known to make countries in Asia assume insolvent debts of private banks in order to maximize the amount of the loan to the country. Then, after they’re in, they’ll frequently raise interest rates to suck more money out of the indebted country.”

  Gabby was seeing the picture now. “That’s why they go after resource rich countries like the Ukraine, Brazil, Southeast Asia, taking over water resources and taxing it, controlling dams for hydroelectric and all that.
”

  Hamilton could see they were understanding. “Exactly. All of their conditions amount to a loss of the country’s authority to govern its own economy!”

  By the time the stock market opened, the news was all over Wall Street. The sell-off came as quickly as the traders could navigate. Fund managers had been given directives to sell prior to the opening bell. Things began to slow down a few hours later when more bad news broke.

  The President’s Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors said, “They’re saying there’s computer problems and no one can pull money out.”

  Adam had been watching the news. “Cable news is sticking microphones in people’s faces as they come out of banks and getting reports that there’s a limit put on how much cash they can take out. The customers aren’t believing them, and they’re making impassioned pleas. They’re telling reporters they can’t get their money.”

  George quickly asked, “Is it only this one bank?”

  “Yes sir, but it has the second largest public depository,” said the Chairman.

  “Do we suspect economic terrorism?” George felt he had to ask.

  The Chairman was on it. “We’re looking into that now, sir. If it hits a second source, that’s a definite. In the meantime, we’re moving as fast as we can. We’ve got people investigating.”

  The speed at which the market hit the automatic shutoff was astonishing.

  Shortly after that, a second bank announced that it was experiencing a cyber-attack and would lock all accounts for the day. In an unprecedented move, they said account holders would not have access electronically until they came into their local branch. They needed to reset their passwords after showing their proper identification to authenticate themselves.

  The room was silent for a moment. Then Hamilton spoke up. “Mr. President, the dollar is plummeting and, frankly, something else must be going on here.”

  George had his own suspicions. “Something more than the obvious?”
