Here's an interesting article about how the elites/EU coalition robbed the Eastern bloc of European nations. It's too long to post, but is worth the read.

For those who remember the 1980-90's of buying/robbing industries in the U.S. and then selling them for their parts(how Mitt Romney made his fortune), this spells out how this was done on a much larger scale in the nations who had left the USSR. Profitable industries were purchased by conglomerates and then actually closed their profitable lines to eliminate competition. They made the people as well as the nations debt slaves. These nations were sold a bill of goods that paralyzed their economies.

If you want to understand how the elite/conglomerates planned to own us, this article is a good starting point.

By the way, my father always talked about "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand and how it predicted what was happening in our country. Sad to say I hadn't read it while he was alive. But shortly after his death, I chose to take it on(it's a loooong book). How right he was and I regret not being able to tell him so.
