This control at one time was exerted through the form of slavery, which was ownership of one individual by another. After slavery was overthrown, serfdom, in which ownership of the person shifted to ownership of the land itself, took over as the means of exploitation. As this too happily went out of vogue, a new form of control involving a silent and nearly invisible manipulation of the forces of money became the modern equivalent of slavery and serfdom. | ||||
| Business/Financial | Woodward, Orrin | Financial Matrix and How to Escape It, The | Investment Club | |
| What is the Financial Matrix? The Financial Matrix is a term that describes the latest tactic in a long history of control by elites over an unsuspecting populace. This control at one time was exerted through the form of slavery, which was ownership of one individual by another. After slavery was overthrown, serfdom, in which ownership of the person shifted to ownership of the land itself, took over as the means of exploitation. As this too happily went out of vogue, a new form of control involving a silent and nearly invisible manipulation of the forces of money became the modern equivalent of slavery and serfdom. | ||||

Native cultures created corn in a specialized breeding process that has been called man’s first genetic engineering. Perhaps most surprizing, many researchers believe that past Indian cultures created much of today’s Amazon forest. | ||||
