On March 22, 1765, the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act, imposing new, unwelcome taxes on the American people. This and other such acts, eventually led to the American Revolution.

It was an example of a government that felt it had no restrictions on what it could do, imposing an unwelcome program on a people far away, whose protests they ignored. Eventually, thousands of deaths later, that government was completely expelled from the American continent, and a new one set up in its place.

Those who pull the strings are willing to hide safely in the shadows and sacrifice the pawns who do their dirty work, and will continue to do so untill the day their globalist dreams are finally realized.

Nice reminder. I shamelessly borrowed it.
