“The Great American Illusion: How Consumerism Became the Chains of Modern Serfdom”

By A.L. Childers

America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, has long been touted as the ultimate beacon of liberty. Yet, a deeper look into its foundations reveals a far darker truth. The nation as we know it was crafted—not for freedom—but for control, wealth, and the perpetual enrichment of an elite few. From the moment Europeans landed on these stolen shores, the stage was set for a grand illusion that would entangle generations of “free” citizens in a web of taxes, consumerism, and serfdom.

Stolen Lands and Broken Promises

America’s story begins with a lie. Christopher Columbus did not “discover” a new world; he stumbled upon lands already rich with culture, history, and thriving communities. The native peoples of this land were systematically displaced, enslaved, and slaughtered, their way of life erased to make way for a European dream of wealth and expansion. The colonies, sold to the masses as a haven for freedom-seekers, were nothing more than a ploy to lure laborers—future serfs—to till the land and build wealth for an elite ruling class.

The Colonial Game: A Crown Disguised

The colonies were never truly independent. While the American Revolution was marketed as a fight for liberty, the power structures that governed under British rule merely shifted names. The Constitution, a revered symbol of freedom, was a cleverly designed contract to ensure the elite maintained control. Taxes, once the rallying cry of rebellion, became a permanent fixture, chaining citizens to a lifetime of labor to fund wars, debts, and the luxuries of the ruling class. The crown never truly lost her colonies; she simply rebranded them.

The Birth of Consumerism

The American dream of prosperity quickly morphed into a consumerist nightmare. Every holiday, from Christmas to Valentine’s Day, was repurposed as a tool to drive spending. Pagan traditions were co-opted, repackaged, and sold as Christian celebrations to ensure the masses continued to consume. These holidays, far removed from their spiritual origins, became the backbone of a system designed to keep the rich richer.

Religion as a Tool for Control

Religion, too, became a means of manipulation. American Christianity owes much of its structure to Constantine and the Roman Empire, which adopted Christianity as a state religion to consolidate power. The Vatican, far from being a purely spiritual entity, is an extension of this Roman control. The United States, a supposed breakaway from European influence, became a stage to perpetuate these systems of domination under the guise of faith and morality.

The Elite’s Eternal Game

Today, the 1% control the majority of the world’s wealth, manipulating systems, governments, and economies to maintain their dominance. From the Federal Reserve’s stranglehold on the economy to corporations exploiting labor and resources, the modern world is a playground for the elite. Citizens are mere pawns in a game where freedom is an illusion, and consumerism is the leash that keeps them in line.

The Truth Behind American Holidays

• Christmas: Rooted in pagan Saturnalia, co-opted by the church, and repurposed by corporations to drive spending.
• Thanksgiving: A sanitized version of colonization and subjugation, masked as a day of gratitude.
• Independence Day: A celebration of a “freedom” that was never truly won.
• Valentine’s Day: A feast day for martyrdom transformed into a capitalist love fest.

A Call to Awareness

The truth is harsh but necessary: America was built on stolen land, maintained by deception, and perpetuated by consumerism. The more we understand these hidden histories, the more empowered we become to challenge the systems that bind us.

Are you ready to see the world as it truly is? Keep your eyes open—freedom begins with knowledge.

There’s hasn’t been a reset to protect you. The 1% elite, royals, blue bloods and those who have lived on this earth hidden behind closed doors. The natives are AWAKE… We know we are getting screwed and we are over it. Your turn! Now what? We are over it. It’s a class war not a racial war that you push.
