In 1970, American Billionaires began working to divide the nation and they succeeded. One after another, Americans sold themselves and their children to the billionaires.

The billionaires grew impatient and declared war on the American people who refused to sell themselves. They called it the Culture War. By 2000, Americans were helplessly divided.

Osama bin Laden saw a nation weakened by war against itself and fired the fatal shot. One shot was all he needed. He aimed three shots at the dividing line and hit it twice. Bin Laden’s war was over; he went into hiding and watched the American people destroy their own country.

A look inside the billionaires’ Culture War machine follows. Please note, these are 2001 numbers.

Rural America is my home. I serve diner, gourmet, seven course, and homecooked thoughts — but spare me chain food served on thoughtless trains of thought.
