I'm referring to around the time of the end of Bush's last term and the beginning of Obama's. That's nothing normal about what they were doing with the financial system back then. At the time I was too young to pay close attention as I didn't have a career yet, didn't own a home etc but now watching these speeches is insane. They made us into a fully socialist nation back then.
There's no normal to go back to we can only forge a new path away from the horrors that these demons have put us through.
Things probably haven't been Normal since at least JFK.
Bush Sr. publicly announced the New World Order in his 1000 points of light speech.
