Ep 3 | How Woodrow Wilson Used WWI to Become a Dictator | The Beck Story
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson suppressed ample evidence of German sabotage of munitions plants and depots on U.S. soil to maintain his re-election campaign slogan: “He kept us out of war!” Once re-elected by a very thin margin, however, Wilson quickly led the nation into World War I, ushering in a breathtaking dictatorship that destroyed First Amendment rights and brought an unprecedented campaign of government censorship and surveillance.

I hope it’s obvious to you by now that when it comes to decisions that directly affect you and the people you love, sometimes it’s better not to leave things in the hands of the “experts.”
Years ago, when I was dealing with almost daily, horrible pain in my hands, I sought out the advice of a lot of “experts.” And do you know what that got me? Medical bills, and no easing of my burden.
That was before I started taking Relief Factor, and things changed for me forever. I got rid of the pain. I got my hope back, my joy back — I basically got my whole life back.
And you know what? I’m no “expert,” either, but don’t take my word for it even at that. If you’re living with aches and pains, see for yourself how Relief Factor — a daily, drug-free supplement — could help you feel and live better every day. Join the over 1 million people who’ve turned to Relief Factor, and you could start feeling better in three weeks or fewer.

History teaches us to have at least a little bit of skepticism for what the so-called experts tell us at any given time. In fact, it’s best to have as many of the decisions that are made about you and your family in your own hands, and not in theirs. For instance, what about life-saving medications? If there’s an emergency and you or a member of your family desperately needs a medication that just isn’t available right now, what are you going to do? How do you even prepare for something like that?
You should get a Jase case.
It’s a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics and medications that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections. It provides five life-saving antibiotics for emergency use. All you have to do is fill out a simple form online, and you’ll have it in case you need it. There are add-on options too, like EpiPens and ivermectin.
