@IanCrossland Ok then, so you know that our national deficit is not owed to the Federal Reserve? Also, it's pretty common knowledge that Obama had little to do with that debt when you made this video, and that Einstein did NOT say that compound interest is the strongest force in the Universe! You are an even worse theorist than you are a musician and you will never do more than fool people who are dumber than you into thinking you have something worthwhile to say.
As for the new currency, the "Amero," it is just a platform to move us one strp closer to one world currency and a one world dictatorial government, the "New World Order."
the federal reserve is the biggest scam to ever hit this country. They are responsible for the great depression and this depression. They orchestrated the crashes to emplement new policy that only benefits them. They robbed the people of all their gold in the 30's and they've robbed the american public with income tax, and there is no actual law that says you have to pay income tax. Also the Fed is a group of domestic and international banks who dont give a shit about saving this country.
Were all in this together like the ANTS!!LOL ahhaah, Bro you hit the question and answer on the head. You just said it. Theres nothing that we can do, were fucked, the system was designed to fail LOL. Take care man.
focus, and maybe u will listen to what he has to say..not everyone has a way with words..sometimes u have to catch their drift on your own..just need to focus and absord the generality of it.
I am 70 years old...have been reading and learning about the fed. reserve and the banking system since my 20s. I was for 8 years, nose to nose with them in court... How long would you last ? I mean just you, "standing before the court as yourself"? This is a legal term. When one knows their subject matter they write in clear, concise terms that others understand. How well do you know your rights or how to even claim them? Don't try to teach when you so clearly do not know your subject.
Yeah! I think about this a lot! It baffles me that people and entire nations can run on such selfishness! It really make you think, is there good left in the world.
Im terrible at math but even I can see that theres a problem!
1936: Social Security is created, people/ citizens in this system are put up as collateral for the debts owed to the Fed by the govt that can knowingly never be paid back.
we need not a change in currency, but in the overall system. we need a resource based economy, with no middle man getting ridiculously rich off of everyone else. more freedom, use of technology to its fullest extent, and to get rid of military/ war.
Well I learned in school that adding money to the economy, actually lowers it's value (Inflation). So I think these bailouts are actually making it worse for us. If you were to double the amount of money in the economy, the value of it would eventually drop to half.

We owe more money than we have, but like you said, the money is shit. So we owe more shit than we have. Big deal. Maybe we've already "nanoized" our money, whatever that means. Meanwhile this shit still pays the rent.
The Federal Reserve loans money to the government. The government has to pay back that money with interest. The money and interest that they pay back to the Fed comes from the American taxpayer! The Fed is not supporting our economy at all. They sucking the life out of it. This current implosion is all by design. They, through their policies, have the capability to engineer economic booms and busts. The Fed's "fiat" money system has no true monetary backing and is therefore not tangible money.

yo you really need to watch a film called zeightgeist. google it and you will forever be changed. its two hours but i looks like you might have a lot of time on yourhands so watch it straight through. post how you like it.
The FEDERAL RESERVE ACT of 1913 DEFIES Article 1, Section 8, Paragraph 5 of the US CONSTITUTION by creating a "CENTRAL BANK of issue" for the United States. WORLD WAR I, the Agricultural Depression of 1920, the Great Depression of 1929, and Adolf Hitler's rise to power were brought about by INTERNATIONAL BANKING Interests in order to PROFIT from CONFLICT and economic instability.
Before I go to haunt somewhere else, this Zeitgeist fails, so far, to draw the distiction between this system and this system's rewarding the private bankers, though he does mention Lincoln's greenbacks. Maybe there will be more on this. But that's a problem I have with the anti-Fed crowd. Is it the system or the banks that make it evil. How about we do away with the private banks and let the government charge itself interest? Would that be ok?
Ian doesn't do 2-hour vlogs, and anyway he doesn't do history. I was watching the Inmendham, or Ammendum or something, if that makes a difference. The "economic hitman" did the trick for me. And I rarely do get all the way through a Spikey vid. I don't think I've sat through a whole Spikey since he was swinging in that tree in Arcata. That was a good one.
I knew the version you were watching. Why do I have a feeling you sat through Pasolini's movie, "Salò" and did not walkout nor turn it off, which ever the case may be?
Sadly, to be honest, i watched that whole wretched thing. I couldn't understand why the parents of the children who acted in it allowed them to be in such a movie and then I recently read one of the child actor's parents (the father) shot Pasolini to death.
Of course, but isn't the correct title, "Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy?"
Or are you talking about the tragic biography, "The Singing Nun's Story," about her suicide with her lover Annie Pécher? It would have been something if Debbie Reynolds would have been cast to play the title role once more.
Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and be kicked in the head with an iron boot? Of course not. No one does. It never happens. Skip that, Ted. It was a dumb question.
Actually, I was talking about the magazine Joey, the boy who was asked the gadiator movie question, was reading while the nun was reading Boy's Life. I believe there was a nun surfing on the cover. If I had been talking about a different nun, it would have been the flying Sally Fields. But I rarely talk about her.
Then he says the banks will take your property from you when you default, as you inevitably will etc. This is just bullshit. Most people don't even default, so the "inevitability" is wrong. And, when they "take your property," it is liquidated to pay off you debt. The debt is not your property. If the house is worth more than your debt, you get that money. The bank just gets the money you owe it, not "your property." This is pure propaganda. Not that I like banks, but this is propaganda.
"It invariably transfers true wealth from the individuals to the banks." Whah? True wealth? You mean the interest on debt-based money is "true wealth?" I don't think so. It's just more debt-based money. The reason the system works is that easy money creates more wealth by facilitating economic activity sufficient to cover the interest and more. That's how people "pool enough money to cover their costs of living."
Then he says that the fact that interest must be paid on the debt "guarantees defaults and bankrupcies and poor pockets of society that get the short end of the stick." Explanation? Nope. He just goes traipsing along.
Also, an important point, I think, the guy says that if all debts were paid off, there would be no money. Of course he means there would be no Federal Reserve Notes, because coinage comes from the Treasury and is not part of the Federal reserve system. But that's why we don't get hyperinflation form all this money created "out of thin air." When the debt is paid off it returns into the thin air whence it came. It is the interest which creates inflation.
"...a disequillibrium exists where people are forced to compete for labor in order to pool enough money out of the money supply to cover their costs of living." And then he just goes on. What does that even mean? Don't you have to look at this in text and think about it? Good old rigid text! I still don't know what it means, but the music is telling me it's not good.
Hey, I'm watching Zeitgeist! It gets better after the first 3 minutes. I just had to stop and comment somewhere when "out of thin air" the narrator said, "...and the international bankers succeded in installing another central bank in 1913, The Federal Reserve." This is the first time he mentions "the international bankers." Kinda funny considering that the most important assertion is that international bankers control the country through the Fed. It was CONGRESS which installed the Fed.
1st eating, then burping,after that cleaning his teeth.I understand Ian feels at ease while making videos in his home,but scratching his ass hole with both hands for 1 minute long(4:10-5:10)and then even smelling his fingers, dude thats not cool...
That is completely contradictory. You say the Europeans , US and Japan have lower birth rates because they have the pie but claim that the more pie one has the higher the birthrate. What the ? Also i did not blame America for the economy, i clearly stated above that we all live off of the same exploitation. Self quote: "we just feed off the same exploitation" hence the "We".
More pie makes more population in traditional (obsolete) cultures because they haven't got the modern social institutions which have evolved in Europe and the US and were imposed on Japan after the war.
A good symptom of this is revealed in names. Some will talk of the religious right taking over America and dictating policy, but that's bullshit. I live here. Half of the Arabs are named Mohamed. If you run across a Jesus in the US, you can be sure he's an immigrant.
And of course names don't matter, but it demonstrates a real difference in culture. The US, Europe and Japan are secualrist. The US is the greatest secularist force the world has ever seen. That's why the idiots call it "The Great Satan."
Ive been burned personally on inter religious friendships when it comes to being raised Secular and non Secular so i cant deny what your saying. Nevertheless even if not all nations line up, we can still eliminate our dependencies. Ultimately many resources today will run out so where going to evolve one way or the other. I just hate the wait to the last minute mentality. Current eco crisis is just a pre warning sign that wealth has been created without value and at the expense of the future.
And if its nation building you prefer then lets wait and see how Iraq keeps itself together when the US is gone before the next is built, cause Iraq isnt secular in the European sence but it more secular then any other middle east nation , so if it doesn't work there it wont work anywhere.
I think Iraq was a mistake. We might have done better to manage Saddam. But I could be wrong. The Dope may have been right after all. But once we destroyed order in Iraq, we had to rebuild it, otherwise Iran would have gained too much power. They may still.
I don't think it's so much a question of getting the oil flowing in Iraq, especially now that the economy is sinking, but in maintaining dollar hegemony. But, that really is it. You don't want the system to continue, and I'm not impressed by what you would replace it with.
Exactly! You have nothing to replace it with. You think because this way sucks, we should just destroy it. You don't understand that it evolved because it works better than the alternatives. But you are a youngin'.
First of all we don't live in the same system, we just feed off the same exploitation. Second of all im a fan of ordoliberalism and it has worked well for my country, it has also been successful in keeping a reprise of the socialists away and i prefer it over the darwinsitic free economy model of others. That said it would make the US a better place.
That said (2) all systems have there expiration date and my current preference is just based on the current models that exist and have proven to work best.The future model is to be found indeed, any suggestions are welcome. The local resource based economy model is intriguing, but highly dependent on technological developments, something that can happen in the future but not now because there are some problems to be solved. Luckily its in the works.
O great! Something works well in your country. You think I'm talking about capitalism or free markets or socialism? Put your brain on, Doctor! I'm talking about you not invading Poland for Lebensraum. I'm talking about Spain not fighting Britain to see who can rule the seas. I'm talking about Alexander not conquering the world for the hell of it. I'm talking about reality. You're talking about chocalate bunnies.
Geez, in what decade do you live in ? Guess its good to be a "youngin" and not stuck in the past.Seriously tC look into your self, it seems your mind is dictated by fear of things that dont exist anymore.
You know , if you drive a car through the rear view mirror your probally going to wreck it.
No you assume to much about me. I know human nature, i just think if you treat humans with respect, give them shelter and food and maybe in our times some health care and connectivity they wont behave in the way your afraid of. Ultimately all wars are about the pie. So lets make enough pie for everyone.
"Give them shelter and food!???" I know what decade you live in, sonny boy. You live in the fat happy decade of Pax Americana. Give them shelter and food! You're right. That's all there is to it, dude. But, HOW do you do it?
I don't know if anyone in eastern Europe would agree on the pax American theory since the US successfully killed anyone stopping Russia on conquering half the continent into communism and thereby allowing 100 million dead people and 50 years of poverty but i suppose your propaganda sees that as a heroic deed or something.
Maybe you should get more into Patton and less Roosevelt.Anyway switching from limited regional dependent resources to sustainable ones is the way to go. Oil dependency is the Achilles verse of the current system if it should change to something of higher moral we must get into sustainable energy and resources. Hell we can make CPU's out of bio plastic now. Its happening.
Again, you show you don't understand human nature. You want to run the world on chocolate bunnies when oil is cheaper. Well, if the day comes when you can put a bunny in your tank, then the Iraqis can go back to butchering themselves over camels and sheep, but the world won't change all that much.
Hey and i thought we agreed on pie for everyone to change the world.You know what? How bout you actually define this thing you keep calling "human nature". What exactly is human nature for you?
Well then i don't see a real disagreement here.I think you just don't trust in technological solutions to make enough pie. In my book scientist's engineers, etc. change the world alot more than politicians and other preachers.
How much pie do we need? Technology (and economics) has given us tons and tons of pie. But, now there are just more pie holes to fill. You make more pie, you get more holes to stuff it down.
Well based on your theses we need the ammount of pie that makes it unnecessary to protect our own from others. In numbers id say that is 5 times the current pie based on the fact that the so called 1. world uses 80 % of the resources but only accounts for 20 % of the population.That number in itself shows that it cant be done with fossilized pie.
You still haven't wrapped your brain around it, and I don't understand your fossilized pie. What, oil? I think your statement must be fundementally contradictory or poorly translated. Anyway, but thesis or whatever is that the more food you make, the more people result. Most of these 3rd world clowns keep fucking their brains out and making more babies. I know you'll blame some American preacher for that because that's just how you are, but it's really just how THEY are. Americans aren't
breeding like rabbits despite hogging down all the world's pie. Neither are Europeans. Neither are the Japanese. See a pattern there? These poor bastards under the domination of the ruthless Pax Americana have nearly achieved sustainable populations. Another great advance you will never see!
Check out these movies... They are quiet indepth and hard to follow at times but if you do you get a lot of information on the subject of the Federal Reserve...
The FEDERAL RESERVE ACT of 1913 DEFIES Article 1, Section 8, Paragraph 5 of the US CONSTITUTION by creating a "CENTRAL BANK of issue" for the United States. WORLD WAR I, the Agricultural Depression of 1920, the Great Depression of 1929, and Adolf Hitler's rise to power were brought about by INTERNATIONAL BANKING Interests in order to PROFIT from CONFLICT and economic instability.
That's the way the law is written, but I haven't been to any Fed meetings lately. But, since you guys believe all the presidents are in on the worldwide conspiracy to enslave us all, I don't see why that should be a problem for you. All the President has to do is appoint fellow conspirators who will be approved by the Senate, which everybody knows is controlled by Zionists and Moonbats.
Yeah, I noticed the other day the replaced Thomas Jefferson's face on the nickel with a cheap ass Millard Filmore. Somethins gotta be done. Destroy the Treasury!
Anyone else notice how CHEAP our MONEY feels these days? Compare a QUARTER from the 60s to one from 2008, hell even and old Dollar Bill feels like it's made of better Quality material then the new Monopoly Money they Print now.
Hey, I share your concern with the federal reserve system but don't fret about the interest! Here is why, you are not reconning with what the loan produces.... See when a man builds a house with a loan the value of the "house" is greater than the cost of materials plus labor plus interest. We (generally) produce greater value than the cost of all inputs.
The only way to solve the problem, is to give money ACTUAL value vs PERCEIVED value. Meaning the paper money needs to be backed by reserves of gold... as was the case before the Federal Reserve removed the gold standard. We need to have the Government go back to printing our OWN money instead of relying on foreign (central) banks to do so. The fact that the FR exists independent of our nation should illustrate that it doesn't have our best interests at heart. It is a manufacturer of debt.
Will someone else please inform the next person to say, "Check out Zeitgeist" that Ian said he saw it and will watch it again on this Vlog and the info to where to watch it is in the info box. I seem to be obsessive-compulsive about it. I don't know why. It could be the antihistamines. Time for bed. I'll shut up now.
we will though the Constitution out with the money is the problem. just like a business that when bankrupt must start with a new foundation. our rights will go to get worth in our money again.
to the viewers if confused> simply put the fed.res. LOANS money to the government at cost PLUS interest, so we will never be out of debt, all we can do is print more money and keep the margin larger and larger. i think this is why the mint sells special $1 dollar coins for $19.95 lol.
the federal resurve is not a federal organization, it is a PRIVATE bank. it is as federal as federal express.
The Federal Reserve System had been established to prevent what actually happened. It was set up to avoid a situation in which you would have to close down banks, in which you would have a banking crisis. And yet, under the Federal Reserve System, you had the worst banking crisis in the history of the United States. There's no other example I can think of, of a government measure which produced so clearly the opposite of the results that were intended. --Milton Friedman
Let me end my talk by abusing slightly my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You're right, we did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again. --Ben Bernanke
Article I, Section 8 states: "The Congress shall have Power...to coin Money". Notice that it states "coin" not "print". Anyone who reads James Madison's notes of the Constitutional Convention, The Federalist Papers, etc. will find that one of the purposes of the Constitutional Convention was to do away with paper money--entirely! Thus for the first 72 years from the founding of our nation the united States' Government only minted gold and silver COINS for money."
"Article I, Section 10 of the united States' Constitution states: "No State shall...make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts." The united States' Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land and this Law has never been amended.
That's why the Constitution gave the Power to Print Money only to the Congress, that way no Interest, we Create our Own Money. For some odd reason we got switched from the Congress Printing our Dollars to a bunch of Secretive Private Bankers. It Makes the Italian Mafias rackets, look like Boy Scout endeavors.
The constitution grants congress the power to "coin" money from silver and gold. The Fed, as Ian said, issues "notes," or even just numbers in computers. The "odd" reason that the Fed is independent of congress is to keep congress from printing up money as a means of appropriations. "Tax and spend" is one thing, but "print and spend" would be far more dangerous. The Fed gives us "borrow and spend," which has actually worked pretty well.
Who prevents the "Federal Reserve" from Printing Money? From Borrowing money? Where in the Constitution does it Allow for Private Bankers to Control American Currency?
The Federal Reserve Board of Governors sets Federal Reserve policy and is a government agency who's members are appointed by the President. Once appointed, I think they can do as they think best, the idea being that politics should not influence monetary policy. The private banks do not set the policy, but they do make the profits.
The Federal Reserve is not a constitutional institution. That doesn't mean it is UNconstitutional, necessarily. I haven't studied that particular issue.
Gold has been a store of value for thousands of years. We should go back to something that you can hold in your hands and keeps its value through the centuries.
When the Fed steals your money they are stealing your labor power and future security. There goal is to keep you in a total state of economic insecurity until you die and then they confiscate as much as they can get away with. They want more for themselves so that there is less for you. SHUT DOWN THE FEDERAL RESERVE AND GO BACK TO THE GOLD STANDARD!

The FEDERAL RESERVE ACT of 1913 DEFIES Article 1, Section 8, Paragraph 5 of the US CONSTITUTION by creating a "CENTRAL BANK of issue" for the United States.

Before I go to haunt somewhere else, this Zeitgeist fails, so far, to draw the distiction between this system and this system's rewarding the private bankers, though he does mention Lincoln's greenbacks. Maybe there will be more on this. But that's a problem I have with the anti-Fed crowd. Is it the system or the banks that make it evil. How about we do away with the private banks and let the government charge itself interest? Would that be ok?

Sadly, to be honest, i watched that whole wretched thing. I couldn't understand why the parents of the children who acted in it allowed them to be in such a movie and then I recently read one of the child actor's parents (the father) shot Pasolini to death.

Then he says the banks will take your property from you when you default, as you inevitably will etc. This is just bullshit. Most people don't even default, so the "inevitability" is wrong. And, when they "take your property," it is liquidated to pay off you debt. The debt is not your property. If the house is worth more than your debt, you get that money. The bank just gets the money you owe it, not "your property." This is pure propaganda. Not that I like banks, but this is propaganda.
theCommenteer 3 years ago
"It invariably transfers true wealth from the individuals to the banks." Whah? True wealth? You mean the interest on debt-based money is "true wealth?" I don't think so. It's just more debt-based money. The reason the system works is that easy money creates more wealth by facilitating economic activity sufficient to cover the interest and more. That's how people "pool enough money to cover their costs of living."
theCommenteer 3 years ago
Then he says that the fact that interest must be paid on the debt "guarantees defaults and bankrupcies and poor pockets of society that get the short end of the stick." Explanation? Nope. He just goes traipsing along.
theCommenteer 3 years ago
Also, an important point, I think, the guy says that if all debts were paid off, there would be no money. Of course he means there would be no Federal Reserve Notes, because coinage comes from the Treasury and is not part of the Federal reserve system. But that's why we don't get hyperinflation form all this money created "out of thin air." When the debt is paid off it returns into the thin air whence it came. It is the interest which creates inflation.
theCommenteer 3 years ago
"...a disequillibrium exists where people are forced to compete for labor in order to pool enough money out of the money supply to cover their costs of living." And then he just goes on.

Hey, I'm watching Zeitgeist! It gets better after the first 3 minutes. I just had to stop and comment somewhere when "out of thin air" the narrator said, "...and the international bankers succeded in installing another central bank in 1913, The Federal Reserve." This is the first time he mentions "the international bankers." Kinda funny considering that the most important assertion is that international bankers control the country through the Fed. It was CONGRESS which installed the Fed.

Well based on your theses we need the ammount of pie that makes it unnecessary to protect our own from others. In numbers id say that is 5 times the current pie based on the fact that the so called 1. world uses 80 % of the resources but only accounts for 20 % of the population.That number in itself shows that it cant be done with fossilized pie.
drschnaggels 3 years ago
You still haven't wrapped your brain around it, and I don't understand your fossilized pie. What, oil? I think your statement must be fundementally contradictory or poorly translated. Anyway, but thesis or whatever is that the more food you make, the more people result. Most of these 3rd world clowns keep fucking their brains out and making more babies.

The only way to solve the problem, is to give money ACTUAL value vs PERCEIVED value. Meaning the paper money needs to be backed by reserves of gold... as was the case before the Federal Reserve removed the gold standard. We need to have the Government go back to printing our OWN money instead of relying on foreign (central) banks to do so. The fact that the FR exists independent of our nation should illustrate that it doesn't have our best interests at heart. It is a manufacturer of debt.

The Federal Reserve System had been established to prevent what actually happened. It was set up to avoid a situation in which you would have to close down banks, in which you would have a banking crisis. And yet, under the Federal Reserve System, you had the worst banking crisis in the history of the United States. There's no other example I can think of, of a government measure which produced so clearly the opposite of the results that were intended. --Milton Friedman

Article I, Section 8 states: "The Congress shall have Power...to coin Money". Notice that it states "coin" not "print". Anyone who reads James Madison's notes of the Constitutional Convention, The Federalist Papers, etc. will find that one of the purposes of the Constitutional Convention was to do away with paper money--entirely! Thus for the first 72 years from the founding of our nation the united States' Government only minted gold and silver COINS for money."

MEXICANCONGRESSOCT10 3 years ago
The constitution grants congress the power to "coin" money from silver and gold. The Fed, as Ian said, issues "notes," or even just numbers in computers. The "odd" reason that the Fed is independent of congress is to keep congress from printing up money as a means of appropriations. "Tax and spend" is one thing, but "print and spend" would be far more dangerous. The Fed gives us "borrow and spend," which has actually worked pretty well.

The Federal Reserve Board of Governors sets Federal Reserve policy and is a government agency who's members are appointed by the President.
