    If this is supposedly THE TRUTH about the future that is being planned on us, its total control a la "1984" and its two-class society a la "The Time Machine" why are these videos still in circulation for individuals like you and me to watch? Why haven't they been banned by the authorities and its creators sued and/or silenced?

    Two explanations come to my mind: Either 1) these videos are unknown to the authorities or still too unknown to the broader public that it is not regarded as a threat or 2) the authorities allow us believe what we want to believe which implies that the videos could simply be misleading.

    Just my 2 cents.

  4. they [government] can quickly dissmiss credibility of such documentaries to the average joe with labels such as "communism", "activism", or "conspiracy theories".

    the average joe - given his exposure to other media distractions and scarce education - will not bother looking up the truth, and will accept whatever the "public opinion" has deemed "correct".

  5. I've used this quote before and I'll keep using it, as, it is the mindset of the elite..

    The true object of propaganda is neither to convince nor even to persuade, but to produce a uniform pattern of public utterance in which the first trace of unorthodox thought immediately reveals itself as a jarring dissonance." -Joseph Stalin

    What I just said sounds stupid, what you said is dumb, what he, she, it, they, what is thinking about being thought about being said is stupid...

    Mission accomplished...

    Makes sense. And it's shrewd, also.

  7. Fractional Reserve Banking, what a racket. The ability to lend 10 times the amount you have in deposits at interest. So a loan from you bank @ 10% is really 100% man how do I get a bank charter.

  8. Compounded compound interest.

    Did you know that a penny that doubles everyday for 30 days is $10.7mm

    BUT.. if you tax it after everyday it's only $90k

    That is the degree of the situation.

    $10.7mm vs. $90k

  10. So if a bank has say $100,000 in deposits, it can lend out $1 million. If only $900,000 is paid back, are the $100,000 in deposits lost? What if only $800,000 is paid back? Is the $100,000 on deposit lost and then the bank files for bankruptcy?
