The strength of organized monetary terrorism can be measured by its achievement.

The forces that employ this terrorism have managed successfully, in just a little over a century, to turn the world's mightiest nation - the United States of America, whose prosperity and capability was the envy of the world - into a beggar and pauper so deeply impoverished that it cannot find the resources any longer to care for its sick and wounded, and muster the moral courage to honor and support those who have become victims in this onslaught against the nation.

For every hospital that is shut down, for every research project that is cancelled, for every child that sits hungry in a classroom for meager learning, for every business and plant that shuts its doors, the celebrations by the victors grow louder.  Only for a brief span had the people of the Unites States of America, and the world, had cause for celebration.  This period ended when the nation's patriots were beginning to be assassinated and the nation's leaders shot for their monetary policy in defense of the nation; when humanity stood at the threshold of a bright future based on discipline to fundamental principles, but failed in one crucial area to protect itself.  President Abraham Lincoln was murdered in 1865; President James Garfield was murdered in 1881; President William McKinley was murdered in 1901; President John F. Kennedy was murdered in 1963.  Long live the oligarchy!  And it did; it still plays this game, and on a much wider plain than ever before.

However, the very fact that it took the greatest terrorist apparatus ever assembled on the face of the planet, a full century and more to bring the nation of the United States to its knees, speaks of a tremendous strength supporting that nation from within, which is inherent in its commitment to the principle of the nation-state.  Future historians will tell if that nation can muster the courage in this age to withdraw itself from the reach of that terrorism that stood poised in November of 1995 to force even the presidency to its knees, which could have effectively annulled the constitution, thus bringing to a near end the institution of the nation-state for that nation and possibly for all nations around the globe.
