The Kid by the Side of the Road Author(s): JUAN O SAVIN

ONE: THE KID BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD As a country, one thing people forget in this modern era is that we've been in a national crisis numerous times; far more than people care to recall. We do remember 9/11 and some of us were around during President Kennedy's assassination. Then there was Abraham Lincoln's assassination 150 years ago. But there's a common theme that's been going on through all of those crises that I think we need to revisit today. And that is about who is actually behind the scene orchestrating these events that we are continually put into. Is it always unique players in new situations, or is there an underlying theme and a common group of perpetrators with these crimes against America and the world? Is there an organization of people trying to keep us enslaved? Now, if you go back to the origins of our country, there were people who came to this continent and set up colonies, growing the population until it was eventually large enough that local jurisdictions were needed to manage and maintain the organization of streets, taxes, tariffs, property ownership, et cetera. Then came the creation of a constitutional government from groups of states aligned and working together.
