Why does the value of the US dollar continue to drop? Why do we experience this never-ending "boom-bust" cycle? Why does the middle class continue to dwindle while banksters and stock speculators continue to be enriched? The answer is the creepy, secretive, partially private branch of the federal govt. called the Federal Reserve.

Colt dives into the case of James Younger, a 7 year-old boy in the process of being "transitioned" into a girl under his mother's guidance, despite his father's strong disapproval and protest.
