One of my main concerns with history is that indeed freedom has never been regained without bloodshed

Ever since the French revolution, there has not been many fights that have gotten us freedom, bloodshed or not. It only looked like we got freedom, but in reality the mechanism of control changed over.

French revolution was planned and organised by the Cabal to eliminate their royal bloodline.

All the freedom fights against colonisation - same thing. Passing control from direct occupation to indirect occupation via central banks.

Bolshevik revolution - funded by central bankers to take revenge against Tsar's family for opposing the bankers.

Arab springs - same thing. All the color revolutions - same thing.

American revolutionary war was supposed to install an Illuminati stronghold away from the civilisation (at that time) but only partially succeeded. The freemasons didn't get what they wanted, and ended up with a constitution that has been a thorn in their side. But they have been subverting it ever since. Civil war, for instance, was fought needlessly because the bankers manipulated the people too much. So in that instance it was the case of "freedom despite the bloodshed", but its scars are being used even today for further conflicts.

To get a real picture of the kind of world we live in, and how badly it has been under the indirect and invisible control of the Cabal you have to explore a lot of information sources. I would suggest watching the "Fall of the Cabal" series (or if thats too much for you to start off, the "Sequel to the fall of the Cabal").

You should also watch/read some Bill Cooper. Especially "Behold a Pale Horse".

I also suggest watching Ted Gunderson (exposes true nature of FBI, their satanic pedo connections and systemic corruption).

Also, relevant to happenings a the present moment, read Eustace Mullins to understand how the modern medical system was corrupt from the very first day.

When you have sucked all the knowledge and let your mind and your gut process it, you will come to the conclusion that we have never been a free people. That we have always been enslaved in one way or another.

The difference is, for the first time, we are at the verge of freeing ourselves completely. Humanity Unchained.
