The 13th amendment is an ILLUSION.
What 'freed' slaves were given LAND so that they were indeed FREE, and not forced to WORK and PAY to EAT and LIVE? None.
the 13th amendment allowed the SLAVES to pick their MASTER and RATE, within their 'status' of course…
Before slaves were 'paid' in food and housing. Now, SLAVES are paid in monopoly fiat debt notes they then trade for RENT/mortgage/PROPERTY TAX, food, etc…
Slavery is alive and well. EVERYWHERE on earth. We call it work. Freedom = access/ ownership of RESOURCES, not the choice of who to SLAVE FOR in order to buy 'products' made from said resources.
