@davidsheep88,
The banks don't control the system.
Money isn't power.
It's worthless fiat paper. I could burn some money for warmth, and it would make absolutely no difference to me.
The reason it's illegal to burn money is not because it affects the value, but because it proves to people that money is only a symbol.
In order to take back power, you need to realize what actually backs currency.
Note that this older money does not have the words "In God We Trust" on it, but instead makes a claim that gold will be delivered as payment.
This is called backing.
The original backing is gold. As long as there is money to pay people, we have gold backing. But the government federalized, and sold the public out. So you can trust in neither gold (all locked up in Fort Knox) nor the government.
The government is not run by banks. It is run by the Deep State, the media, and by scumbag politicians. You want to break free of the system? Realize what is being said by the words "In God We Trust."
They mean that in fact, you cannot trust the government. But this money now has the proper backing (sorry, no Bitcoin, no cashless payment either), because it is backed by God. That is, all currency in the US is based on faith.
If you believe in God, and not in money, money loses its value. This is how you take back your power.
Btw, these damned cashless businesses? They're breaking the law. Dollars are legal tender. It says right on them, and the federal reserve agrees. You can't tell someone you won't accept their money.
Quote:Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," states: "United States coins and currency [including Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve Banks and national banks] are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues." This statute means that all U.S. money as identified above is a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor.
Then they contradict themselves by saying that private businesses can do what they please. Uhhhhh no, legal money means that the money is legitimate, whether they wanna accept it or not.
