I highly recommend "The Money Masters" documentary on this topic. Seriously if there's one thing you ever see in your life, it has to be "The Money Masters"... "THE MONEY MASTERS is a 3 1/2 hour non-fiction, historical documentary that traces the origins of the political power structure. The modern political power structure has its roots in the hidden manipulation and accumulation of gold and other forms of money. The development of fractional reserve banking practices in the 17th century brought to a cunning sophistication the secret techniques initially used by goldsmiths fraudulently to accumulate wealth. With the formation of the privately-owned Bank of England in 1694, the yoke of economic slavery to a privately-owned "central" bank was first forced upon the backs of an entire nation, not removed but only made heavier with the passing of the three centuries to our day. Nation after nation has fallen prey to this cabal of international central bankers. " - http://www.themoneymasters.com/synopsis.htm 3 hrs. long... watch it on Google Video: Part 1 Part 2
Both are good. Zeitgeist is interesting in that it sources an economic hit man, interesting. The one I have I hard time believing after looking at the evidence is the conspiracy of 911, it's a bit far fetched. I think their points on money and religion being mind control is spot on though.
Very well done on the "Media" and the "Structure". A bunch of propaganda of course. Does not even venture into Adam Smith's theory, or extend in to the capitalism. Does not addrease the means of exchange from Dark ages to moden times..... This is a great movie for "Socailist, DemoRats, and other's to try and justify "REDISTRIBUTION" of Wealth and Community-ism's. Money does not create slavery or "enslave people". Money is a means to Freedom. People who say money is bad, do not have money. You are a slave to society to the dollar when you live hand to mouth. When you live pay ck to pay ck. You create your own slavery when you live in "AMERICA" and do not make it. The choice between making 9 figuers a year and making 2, is yours. PERIOD. It create your own reality even when "External Forces" are interfering. Half you Etards on this site, more than half are not "FREE" in the Capitalism sense. You are pretenders, who are a slave to "What" you desire ....MONEY. Your are a Slave because the reality of the fact is, you do not make enough money to free yourselfs. There is nothing wrong with being a "Slave" to the dollar when its your choice. You chose the place you are right now. Your fruits come from your labor. There are two camps in this country. The HAVES and the HAVE NOTS. Just like the rest of the world. However, you can be a HAVE NOT, and choose to change and become a HAVE. The power is yours and you can do it in a ethical manor. Those who work a 9 to 5, those who choose not to make 6, 7 , 9 figuers are in the Matrix. You are the ones in the program. You'r the one's brainwashed. You'r the ones who fall for the "MIND TRICKS", that tell you, you need to have x, y, z at all cost. The slave is the consumers who pile debt upon debt. The slave is the one who spends more than he/she earns. The slave is not the one who strives to become WEALTHY. The Wealthy use money as a means to the ultimate end FREEDOM. The slaves, bitch about it, cry about it and want handouts. FUCK YOU, step up and earn your freedom or crawl back into your hole. For those of you who are satisfyed with your income and life style. G-d Bless America and enjoy. However, if X makes 1000x more than you (in an ethical manor) has boats, cars, planes, trains, and a bigger house than you. Respect Mr. X as well. Its American. Fact of the matter is, you can either choose to be Rich Or Poor. The rest of the bullshit inbetween, reason's against, claims of racism, sexism, ism's in general....Is all pure propaganda. WAKE UP
Do you think those that make 9 figures are a slave to money? It seems like people who do that well are in highly stressful positions and essentially slaves to their job, image, career, or whatever the case may be. Notable exceptions might be Buffet and Gates, but they are rare specimens in the scope of humankind. I'm interested in your interpretation on the matter.
Anyone in debt, for whatever reason, is a slave, whether an individual, family, city, state, nation or globe. Period. The creation and use of debt as a tool of control is a methodology for oppression and suppression, in order to concentrate and preserve true wealth (aka 'the lack of need for any debt in being able to be totally self-sufficient') for an elite class. For that reason alone, the ideas presented in this film have merit. If you own a Bentley, have a summer home in the Hamptons, vacation in Monte Carlo and have a 'current' net worth of hundreds of millions or more, you may still be every bit as much indebted at any given time and as much a slave as anyone lacking these things. Ask yourself what freedom truly is, and you have broken the ice.
