    America had a growing plague in our society.
    Drunkenness as becoming common, and sometimes men would spend their meager earnings on alcohol while their wives and children were at home starving.

    Brave people started to arise to face these troubling times.
    It was mainly women's Christian organizations that started to take action.

    Suddenly our government become concerned about citizens and agreed to pass the 18th Amendment banning the sale of alcohol.

    Prohibition lasted 13 years.
    13 is the number used by Freemasons and other occultists as the symbol of bad luck.
    The number 13 tells us that what happened was preplanned.

    let's examine....

    * The government passes the 18th Amendment banning the sale of alcohol.
    * Large breweries stayed in business by switching to other products.
    * During this time "illegal" gangsters started distributing alcohol.
    * During this time "illegal" "speak-easys" started to pop up all around the country, places where the public could find a place to drink, but the police couldn't find them.
    * Law enforcement started smashing up bars and breweries.
    * The government used the "crime" as an excuse for more Federal power.
    * Many politicians were supplied with "illegal" barrels of alcohol.

    Before Prohibition there was several breweries in every town.
    After Prohibition was abolished, large breweries immediately switched back over to making alcohol.
    7 percent of the breweries were now holding 100% of the market.
    Eventually, 10% of breweries would re-open , holding 100% of the market.
    Owners of Large breweries became millionaires as they started massive production and distribution to their enormous market, thanks to Prohibition

    Those were the days.
    I like Jack Daniels straight from the bottle.

    You could also buy ingredients to make your own booze at drug stores etc. This was quite legal, but actually making your own booze wasn't.

    Why do our modern, elected representatives insist on repeating historical mistakes and claiming they are not really like that, afterward?
