Britain’s vast army was already on its way towards New York Harbor when Jefferson sat down to compose the Declaration in June of 1776, beginning:
“When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
Immediately after it was printed, the Declaration sparked worldwide debate on the legitimacy of colonial rule. Several countries used the document as a shining beacon in their own struggles for independence and adopted Jefferson as their figurehead. Jefferson himself predicted that American independence would be a catalyzing force — a “ball of liberty,” he called it — that would soon make its way across the globe.

Sometimes I think I’m the only one on the planet that thinks the USA lost its independence from Great Britain in 1913. They re-absorbed us. Or took away our independence. Think of it any way you want. I read a lot of things over the decades, and NEVER seen any info like mine regarding USA loss of independence.
Maybe because its such a horrific thought, bad news, nobody wants to talk about it or admit it. Like they say, the truth hurts. But honesty is the best policy. And if you don’t FACE reality, it will kick you in the shins.
Well? In my opinion, the USA was kicked in the shins only 4 years after 1913 with WW I in 1917 and the resulting 1929 crash. Then to put the icing on the cake, they banned Gold ownership by 1934, all this in only the first 17 years after 1913. Only 7 years after gold was outlawed, 1941, we got dragged into WW II.
Only one book I read from back the early 1970s, mentioned that the whole purpose of the Federal Reserve act of 1913 was designed to enable the USA to finance wars.
