From Wall Street’s roots in wartime espionage to modern-day cartel economics, this interview breaks down how intelligence agencies, banking systems, and black ops are used to enslave populations without firing a shot.
Discover why EM believes we’re entering Step 7: Collapse, how $1 trillion in dirty money is laundered through colonial banking networks, and why the U.S. may be the final host in this parasitic system.
