"If you really want to know what's happening in any situation, follow the money trail."  Why?   Because money is an underlying factor in every significant political, social, economic, religious, and environmental activity on the entire planet.   Money, another name for "goods and services," is a fundamental fact of life.    

Having money is a ticket to freedom, power, better health, and a longer life.  Money provides access to people, places, and things that most people only dream about.

Money is an area were secrecy and lies of omission  result in the wealthy being able to manipulate the monetary system.   As you will see when you examine this topic in detail, the present U.S. economic system  is corrupt to the core.   Most people are not aware that they are secretly being milked for money by the super wealthy.   To see examples of the rip off, follow the links in the next paragraph.

The misuse-of-money,    money-manipulation,    lies-about-money,  special-interest-laws about money,   (such as fractional reserve lending )  and  the-secret-stealing-of-money  (such as government deficit spending )  are the major causes underlying every one of the world's  social, political, economic, religious and environmental problems.
