The "federal reserve" is a scam that has been pillaging Americans for over 100 years.
The wars from WW1 up till now have been primarily wars to establish the state of Israel and then to destroy Israel's neighbors. WW1 Balfour Declaration, WW2 transfer of jews to and creation of the state of Israel and destruction of Germany and Japan for having nationalist banks, current wars in the middle east to destroy Israel's neighbors, destroy the few remaining states that have nationalist banks like Syria.
Maybe at some point Americans will wake up and realize they don't have to be stupid ignorant zombie goyim cannon fodder slaves for the Jews.

Both Trump and Sanders forced issues to the front that the establishment candidates were afraid to touch. They forced debate about the real problems instead of the straw men the establishment threw up.

The media needs to stop comparing Trump and Bernie. Trump is an actual outsider who is truly opposed by the establishment and won his party's nomination. Bernie is a career politician who supports the status quo of big government, open borders and globalism, and got steamrolled by the weakest Democrat candidate since Dukakis.
This false equivalence only persists in order to make socialism look like the underdog. In reality, socialism is the ideology of the establishment. Trumpism is the counter-culture.

'But Sanders’s point was that breaking with market liberalism would require a radical departure from politics as usual. '
'The first populist rebellion against market liberalism came in the wake of the 1990–91 recession and the weak recovery that followed. '
'After the Occupy demonstrations, Obama turned against the precepts of market liberalism. '
'Ever since Trump declared his candidacy, his campaign has regularly been described as “unprecedented.” But it fits squarely within the American populist tradition. '
'Trump and Sanders both reflect the growing public dissatisfaction with the political consensus that supplanted New Deal liberalism after Ronald Reagan’s landslide victory in 1980. '
