All the pain of the world in the last 100 years can be attributed to the existence of the Federal Reserve.
>Federal Reserve Act, signed by Woodrow Wilson, allows Federal Reserve to take power over the United States economy, promptly getting rid of real money and putting us onto fiat
>Greenlights European central banks to do the same
>Whaddya know, next year World War I starts. With the funding of, you guessed it, central bank money-printing
>For 3 years the fighting occurs and the bodies pile up, but no one makes any ground
>War is about to end in a stalemate
>Big daddy Merica steps in despite lack of popular support thanks to yours truly Woodrow Wilson
>Central Powers know now they will lose
>Germany, now stuck between the now highly empowered West and Russia in the East, sends Lenin into Russia to start the Bolshevik Revolution, causing internal conflict that removes them from the war
>The Soviet Union takes Russia's place thanks to WWI
>War ends and the West institutes unbelievably harsh Treaty of Versailles on Germany
>New Germany (Weimar Republic) forced into hyperinflation to pay off war debt
>Conditions get bad enough where people become desperate and vengeful enough to carry Hitler to power
>WWII starts with a very weak Nazi Germany who, had they been stopped from taking over the Rhineland, would have fallen, but thanks to Chamberlain et. al. they annexed many European lands
>As war trudges on, refugees from war-torn lands seek safety in the United States
>War ends
>Soviet spies worm their way into US government
>Communists in State Department allow Mao to gain power in China
>Academic refugees get cushy professor jobs in US universities
>Soldiers come home, and thanks to the GI bill, get educated by these professors on things like the Bourgeois, the Proletariat and other communist garbage
>Which makes for a population dumb enough to vote for Great Society programs, Affirmative Action, and other cultural rot
And we're still making it worse.
