What's the Best Way to Capture a Country?

The best way to capture a country is obvious. It has already been done. First you replace asset backed currency with worthless fiat currency. Then you make it illegal to own any hard currency (e.g. gold) and force all the citizens to forfeit their hard currency. Then you form a private banking cartel and force all the smaller banks to buy shares in the cartel or you put them out of business. For a more detailed explanation see the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 or read "The Creature from Jekyll Island" by Edward Griffin.
