    imho
    Money Masters , or
    The Secrets of Oz
    are probably THE movies to go to if you are hoping to gain a "broader" insight on the back room dealings to change the US (and global) monetary systems.

    Not familiar with the OP link, but I'll check it out.
    The above linked movies by Bill Still are EPIC though (arguably boring but epic).
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    I watched this. I thought it was interesting and do think there were many great points (probably most of it), but I honestly think it painted a very exaggerated picture at times. I (personally) am very much anti-Fed, but I don't believe that those working for the Fed, like Bernanke, are necessarily inherently evil people. I think they are idiots. I think they are full of themselves. I think they live outside reality. I think they are so lost in their own ivory tower that they don't hear the opposition's points or look at the causation the opposition can show. I KNOW THEY ARE KEYNESIAN. But, I don't think they are inherently evil. Basically, I think they use a tool (The Fed), and that hurts more than it helps. I think they think it helps more than it hurts. The Fed in and of itself is bad because people believe (including those who work there) that it helps, when the reality is, it does much more harm than good.

    I also don't think the Fed was set up as a central bank in America as some secret plan to destroy the country and make a few people rich either. That, and the fact that this video painted the individual as not responsible for their own decisions (he foreclosed on his loan because of the bank?)... kinda bothered me.

    I love the idea of making an animated video to broaden the entertainment value and push anti-Fed education, but I just kinda think this exaggerated things a bit much, and in doing so, made those who are anti-Fed seem as if they linked with a conspiracy theory. I mean... the "red shield" and whatnot?

    To me videos like this marginalize our collective goal, rather than do what they are meant to ... and broaden it.
    Here's a new demo called "in the fire":

    very well said. i would suggest the evil picture painted wasnt about the individuals working for the machine, hence no faces, just the creepy heads. Its a caricature. Art. Like anything else. symbolism. speaking to the inherently evil deed of turning paper into gold

    Money Master is a good long boring movie. Lots of good stuff in there but very slow. I haven't watched his other movie yet I'll have to give it a try. The book The Creature from Jekyll Island is a very good book to read if you are interested in the Fed. At all. I don't think the people working there are evil. I do think the system has some very serious problems. It seems to help those with the most and work against those with less IMO. It's really interesting if you dig back threw history and read old articles and look up some old comicstrips from around the 1925-1940. It's amazing how the same BS we are fed by the media is the same BS they were feeding people back then. Some of those articles and comics could be printed in today's paper and be totally relevant if you just changed some of the names.

    The Federal Reserve, the banks, it's systems, those corporations/industries/Military Industrial Complex etc...If someones curious about the nature of 'the system', Follow the money. (as the saying goes)

    The 3rd bank...The Federal Reserve, look who's behind it, look at how it all started. How it came about, the roots of the banking system needs to be looked at.

    Then see how so many wars etc are so closely connected. World War 2 and the Nazis? Where did Hitler get his funding? or check out the The Zionist State of Israel, Just look at the Balfour Declaration, see who it's addressed to, look at the connections.

    Paper Money, paper people.
