If the top 100 wealthiest billionaires gave 100% of their wealth to pay the interest of the government debt, the money would run out in 7 years
Not the debt itself, just interest
People blame billionaires not realizing the system is built on fake money that has to debase you
At midnight, he noticed a strip of tape. By dawn, history had shifted.
On June 17, 1972, a 24-year-old security guard named Frank Wills was working the graveyard shift at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C.
It was quiet work. Underpaid work. The kind of job people barely register unless something goes wrong.
Around midnight, during a routine check, Frank noticed a small piece of tape placed over a basement door latch. It was positioned so the door would not lock when closed.
He removed it.
Probably nothing, he thought. A prank. A mistake.
Two hours later, on his next round, he saw it again.
The tape was back.
Someone had deliberately replaced it. Someone was still inside.
Frank Wills was not a senator. Not a journalist. Not a man protected by wealth or influence. He was a young Black man earning about $80 a week, doing invisible work in a city ruled by power.
He could have ignored it.
He could have decided it was not worth the trouble. Not worth the risk. Not worth possibly angering someone more powerful than he was.
Instead, he picked up the phone and called the police.
Officers arrived and discovered five men inside the Democratic National Committee headquarters. They were wearing suits and gloves, carrying cameras, bugging devices, and sequentially numbered cash.
Those arrests cracked open what would become the Watergate scandal.
Investigations followed. Journalists like Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein dug deeper. Prosecutors uncovered connections to President Richard Nixon and his reelection committee. Evidence of obstruction and cover-up climbed steadily toward the Oval Office.
On August 9, 1974, Nixon resigned, the first and only U.S. president to do so.
American democracy held that week not only because of investigative reporting or congressional hearings.
It held because a security guard refused to ignore tape on a door.
For a brief moment, Frank Wills was visible. He testified before the Senate Watergate Committee. He appeared in the opening scene of the 1976 film All the President’s Men, playing himself.
Then the spotlight moved on.
The journalists became legends.
The prosecutors built distinguished careers.
The politicians wrote memoirs.
Frank Wills lost his job.
The details of his departure are debated, but the outcome is clear. He struggled to find stable employment. He worked odd jobs. He never received meaningful financial reward for his role in exposing one of the greatest political scandals in American history.
In 2000, at just 52 years old, Frank Wills died in relative poverty.
The man whose vigilance triggered a constitutional reckoning was largely forgotten.

BREAKING: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche just admitted the DOJ excluded images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from today’s Epstein files release.
Let that sink in.
The government is acknowledging graphic evidence exists and chose to withhold it, while redacting names tied to Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful associates, including Donald Trump.

I put these two clips of Daddy together because I want to share him saying “I’m tired of marching,” then, after continuing the multifaceted work of nonviolence, saying “I’ve been to the mountaintop.”
The 2nd clip is from the speech he gave the night before he was assassinated.
