Unified Serenity

If you think you are tired of fighting this battle to stop this war to control the world's resources, to see the continued abuses done by the monied elites, wait until you read these words:
… a more dangerous form of misapplied power
resulted from the intellectual tyranny exercised by that shrewd
class, the priest-hood, over the conscience and religious beliefs
of the great mass of mankind.
From the days of the Pharaohs down to this period,
man, from his instinctive veneration for a supreme being, has
been so peculiarly susceptible to the arts, wiles, and cunning of
priest-craft to such a degree as to excite universal surprise.
Those gross superstitions, engrafted on the inherent
religious nature of man, by the wary intellectual superiority,
which weighed down the noblest traits of the human mind;
which bred bitter religious animosities; unheard of extortions by
the corrupt and infamous priestly aristocracies of various socalled
religions, were the well-matured and craftily-devised
schemes for plunder by designing men.
The countless wars which afflicted Europe, Asia and
Africa for nearly eighteen centuries; which drowned the finest
aspirations of humanity in blood; which desolated the fairest
parts of the earth; which stemmed the tide toward a higher and
a grander civilization, sprang from the base superstitions
originated by the grasping priesthood, who lived in sloth and
luxury upon the labor of the deluded mass of mankind.
The … most insidious and most dangerous form of
power that has yet appeared to threaten the material well-being
of the race; which now holds every civilized and semi-civilized
people in its merciless grasp; which is appropriating to itself
the productive energies of the world; which is subordinating
the press, the pulpit, and the statesmen of the day to its
ambitious ends; which openly boasts of its nefarious methods
in the courts, legislatures, and other parliamentary bodies of
nations, is the modern money power.
That there is a gigantic combination of the money
dealers, a powerful international trust of usurers, asserting a
superiority above all jurisdictions, and having for its servants
the so-called statesmen and potentates of various nations, who
willingly register the decrees for this money power upon the
statute-books of the respective states, is a fact that can be
sustained by irrebuttable evidence.
This great international monetary trust now menaces
the very lfe of this nation, and the people must dethrone it and
subordinate it to their will, or American liberty will vanish.
