The Trillion-Dollar Conspiracy: How the New World Order, Man-Made Diseases, and Zombie Banks Are Destroying America by Jim Marrs

PART I

A ZOMBIE NATION
I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the
war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in
high places will follow, and the money power of the country will
endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the
people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic

TIMES ARE TOUGH FOR AMERICA.
Thanks to what Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner called the failure

that has increasingly contaminated the federal government since 2001 and
has spilled over dramatically into private household behavior.” He also
raised a popular question, asking, “If excessive government indebtedness is
a major source of the problem, why increase the government debt? Why
encourage households to go yet further into debt?” Ominously, Rowley
predicted “it is not impossible that the US will experience the kind of
economic collapse from first- to third-world status experienced by
Argentina under the national socialist governance of Juan Peron.” In other
words, if the U.S. government cannot find ways of living within its means,
