A Latina Against Hillary

Submitted by Sarella Sand on Sun, 04/24/2016 - 3:28pm

So this is my first diary ever on the Internet.

I have lurked here and commented a bit a TOP. First off, I am a Millennial Latina living in Texas. I was raised in a poor but loving family. I got a scholarship to a top university and was sure that it was my ticket to a middle class lifestyle. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I spent most of my 20s being poor. It wasn't until my late 20s that I finally started living a middle class lifestyle. So that is a little about me.

You have been told that America lost its jobs because of Unions, and Regulation made it too expensive to manufacture in America. Well, this is not actually why or how it went down. You see there are many pieces to this puzzle, and I will try to show them to you and help you connect the dots.

It felt like a veil had been lifted from my eyes and I had a totally new understanding of people and events pushing the levers of government when I first listened to Catherine Austin Fitts explain how trillions of dollars were sucked out of the US economy by an organized crime syndicate consisting of government and big banks.

The next step must be to root out all of the greed and lawlessness, right?
