Two fateful events crushing greatest governance ever

TNS

To columnist Cal Thomas (Herald, "Democrats expose old platform," Oct. 15):

Lest you forget, all the trouble did not start until that fateful day in 1948 when the USA and Great Britain created a document that displaced innocent people from their homeland to allow a non-established state to move in.

This event even violated the words of the Old Testament when God told the Jews they must roam the earth for eternity to pay for their elicit sexual crimes against God in Sodom and Gomorra.

I have listed, in order of most devastating first, the four significant events from the 20th century that have adversely affected the greatest number of humans worldwide:

1. 1913 -- establishing the Federal Reserve on Jekyll Island.

2. 1948 -- establishing the State of Israel on the West Bank.

3. 1941 -- the Second World War.

4. 1913 -- the First World War.

The world wars (either one) ended and we started over. Events 1 and 2, however, continue to this day.

The ramifications are such that the result will be: All of us looking into the final abyss one day, seeing the greatest form of governance the world has ever seen go down the proverbial toilet.

Why are we the people so misinformed as not to see what has happened and is happening here today? Why are events 1 and 2 hush-hush and not to be spoken of just like taboo or Aunt Minnie being kept in the attic?

Thanks for listening.
