This "Part 2" focuses on the fraudulency of monetary systems, economic predation and what might replace our failing, bankrupt present order. Enjoy!

I have just finished viewing this video and find myself in agreement with its primary theme which is to get out of the current system because it is self destruction for the benefit of psychopaths. I think the makers could have better illustrated the negative impact of religions by exposing "man" and "Man"-ipulation as the root problem rather than blaming scriptural passages acted upon by nation states against other nation states. It's a very difficult subject and as dealt with in this video will be a prohibition or stumbling block for humanity to overcome before we are able to dethrone the powers that currently enslave us ALL. I'd certainly recommend it to everyone. Their approach to the monetary system leaves many questions unanswered in my opinion. However, they do a very good job of showing just how manipulative it is and that it far outweighs politics as the guiding influence over the international populace ... and determines who has and who hasn't a decent lifestyle. No one has all of the answers and humanity is a work in progress (if you can actually see it that way), and these folks are opening the conversation up for all of us to discuss the future, and we MUST. One thing is for certain, those currently in control will only be taken down when we quit supporting their system which in turn empowers them to destroy us. The low number of responses is disappointing. We have as a society a very long way to go ... but we need to get started. This video shows where we're headed and offers suggestions that need consideration and dialogue. The current "monetary" monopoly of death has to go ... let's get rid of it.
I don't have two hours to spend on a lark that this video might really say something substantial. Your comments make me more interested but I'd prefer a paraphrase.
In this age of information overload, I can certainly agree. Especially if it rehashes something we already understand and/or believe. I watched about half of it and finally skimmed the rest. The explanation of fractional reserve banking is good in Part I, but nothing very new to us here. I found the description of the exploits of the US empire from a former covert operative very interesting but saddening. My wife remembers when the Ecuador president mentioned was killed/murdered. She told me about him before and how good he really was. The moral: All that crap from Bush & co about "spreading democracy" is complete BS, as democratically elected people are removed if the Admin and/or CIA doesn't like them. Then the movie moves on to claim that free enterprise doesn't work because monetary interests are inherently corrupting. It seems instead to advocate some kind of new socialism where that no one needs to work but that everyone nonetheless enjoys a reasonable standard of living. That struck me as unrealistically utopian. Well, maybe when tech reaches the point where robots are self repairing and do everything for us, we can start thinking in that direction. In summary, it does a good job of demonizing the establishment, corporations, financial elite etc and rightly so. Beyond that, I'm not sure I see it's value.
Yea, it's hard to imagine a world not run for money. I don't fault them for trying, though. It would be nice if we could get there somehow. I had never heard of the black-ops meddling/assassinations in Ecuador before this film. What our elites do to poor third-world countries as they struggle just to get an economic leg up out of the global gutter is absolutely abominable. Every Ecuadorian ought to hate our government's guts. Do they?
My how the internationalist stripe down your
back has grown since you dove into the Obama pool. Please, think of America
first and let the rest of the world fend for themselves.
Damn! You're one hard man JT! Folks who want a preview of the Obama Presidency should watch the classic 1933 film, THE EMPEROR JONES starring Paul Robeson.
