7/12/19 Mike Maharrey on America Using SWIFT as a Foreign Policy “Billy Club”

Mike Maharrey explains how the United States government uses the pressure of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency to get its way in foreign policy. One method is by forcing the global SWIFT payment system to lock out countries that don’t want to play ball with the American world order. For daring to utter this forbidden truth, Maharrey has been smeared by the mainstream media as an “isolationist”. In reality he just doesn’t want the U.S. military to intervene in everyone’s wars—a position that the mainstream cannot tolerate.

Discussed on the show:

  • “US is using SWIFT as a kind of ‘billy club’ in its foreign policy, expert tells RT” (RT Business News)
  • “RT Falsely Claims U.S. Uses SWIFT as Weapon” (Polygraph)
  • “A Majority of Military Veterans Think the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq Were a Mistake – Mother Jones” (Mother Jones)
  • “Toys (1992)” (IMDb)

Mike Maharrey is National Communications Coordinator for the Tenth Amendment Center. He is the author of three books on nullification and hosts the Thoughts from Maharrey Head podcast. Find him on Twitter @mmaharrey10th.
