In January 1910, Jekyll Island, Georgia, became the site of a secret meeting where some of the country's most powerful bankers and government officials gathered to plan what would later become the Federal Reserve System. Attendees included representatives from banks like J.P. Morgan, National City Bank of New York (now Citibank), and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. They met under the guise of a hunting trip at the exclusive Jekyll Island Club to discuss a central banking system that could stabilize the economy and prevent financial panics like the one that had occurred in 1907.

The group devised a plan, which eventually formed the basis of the Aldrich Plan and, later, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, establishing a central banking system in the U.S. While initially kept secret to avoid public backlash, this meeting on Jekyll Island was a pivotal moment in U.S. economic history, shaping the structure and policies of what would become the Federal Reserve.

The feeling that we live in a "Matrix-like" world often stems from the sensation that reality is not quite what it seems. Several factors might contribute to this:

1. **Technological Advancements**: With the rise of virtual reality, AI, and deepfake technology, our digital lives increasingly blur the lines between what is real and what is simulated. This creates a sense of living in an artificial or controlled environment.

2. **Philosophical Questions**: Concepts like simulation theory, which suggests that we might be living in a computer simulation, challenge our understanding of reality. These ideas, popularized by thinkers like Nick Bostrom, echo the premise of *The Matrix* and make us question the nature of our existence.

3. **Media Influence**: Movies, video games, and TV shows often depict dystopian or simulated realities, shaping our imagination and making us more receptive to the idea that we might be living in a fabricated or manipulated world.

4. **Disconnection from Nature**: In modern society, we are often surrounded by technology and urban environments, far removed from nature. This detachment can create an alienating feeling, as if we're disconnected from the "natural" world and living in a synthetic one.

5. **Existential Doubt**: On a personal level, many experience moments of existential questioning—why are we here? What is the purpose? This can lead to a feeling that our day-to-day existence is somehow "scripted" or controlled, much like the experience of living in a simulated reality.

These elements can blend together, creating that sense of "living in the Matrix."

Corporations are buying homes to monopolize the housing market so they’ll control who lives where and how much they’ll pay. Blackrock for one is currently doing it and since they have trillions of dollars they can collude with banks to price homeowners out of their homes so Corporations can sn**ch them up. If this trend continues they will own everything, we won’t own anything and be happy about it. That’s what Klaus Schwab said and exactly what they’re doing.

I have been scouring the internet for information for over 25 years. I can tell you it is a FACT that the truthful and comprehensive information you are able to receive through search engines has changed 180 degrees in those 25 years. The search results ARE being changed, moved around, prioritized, omitted and contradicted as time goes along.
This ain't the same internet we had 20 years ago boys and girls.

The terms **migrant** and **refugee** refer to people who move across borders, but they have distinct legal definitions based on the reasons for their movement and the protections they are entitled to.

# # # **Migrant**
A **migrant** is someone who moves from one country to another, typically in search of better economic opportunities, education, family reunification, or an improved quality of life. Migrants may move voluntarily, and their movement is generally not forced by imminent danger. They do not qualify for the same legal protections that refugees do and may be subject to regular immigration laws of the host country. Migrants can return to their home countries safely if they choose.

# # # **Refugee**
A **refugee**, on the other hand, is a person who has been forced to flee their home country due to **persecution, conflict, violence, or serious human rights violations**. Under international law, refugees are protected by the 1951 Refugee Convention, which defines a refugee as someone with a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. Refugees cannot return home safely due to these risks and are entitled to international protection and assistance.

# # # Key Differences:
1. **Voluntariness**: Migrants generally move by choice, whereas refugees are forced to flee.
2. **Legal Status**: Refugees have a specific legal status under international law and are entitled to protection and assistance. Migrants are subject to the immigration policies of their destination country.
3. **Cause of Movement**: Migrants often move for economic, educational, or familial reasons, while refugees flee due to threats to their lives, freedom, or safety.

In summary, the main difference lies in **why** someone is moving and the legal frameworks that apply to them.
