  • Who the hell are 7 people that dislike this video

  • @alexjonesviewer ignorance is bliss lol

  • USA needs to go back to their founding father's ideal for USA.

    The Jews own the federal reserve, the federal reserve own all the banks in USA. Look it up, I want you all to look up by just google the people who control the federal reserve and who started it all. You will find almost exclusively Jews, and the Rothschild family is behind all that.,

  • The consequences of a rapidly declining dollar are not yet obvious to the American public. A trip to Europe costs more than it did a few years ago, but most Americans still don’t sense they are becoming poorer as the dollar falls. The long-term significance has not yet begun to sink in. However, our relative wealth as a nation is measured in dollars, and the steady erosion of the value of those dollars means we will all be poorer in the future." —Rep. Ron Paul

  • Durr the fed is printing money ohh noo..durrr ron paul told me that the nigger obama was socialist and glenn beck said so too duurrrr Im a dumb ass redneck fox news zombie durrr

  • The FED is not more powerful than masses of awakend people , are they ? :S

  • @seigneurvoland666 no they arent.....problem is people are too worried of giving up their daily lazy routines to do anything about it....but as long as they keep sugar coating everything, a majority of americans will just smile and say life is good

  • Oh please. Money does not exist. The value behind paper is what keeps us fighting amoungst each other. Who sets the value? Why is the value set? Why don't we question this? The value behind paper dictates what you can have. It dictates your worth in life. It dictates happiness. Let's face it; human nature has doomed us all.

  • May Woodrow Wilson rot in hell not only did he trample the Constitution with his nazi like 1918 Sedition Act, he also created the 4th branch of goverment who's above checks and balances, the fed reserve. Fuck that fascist piece of shit.

  • In the Federal Reserve Act Of 1913 the money produced by the federal reserves was defined as...

    (F)ederal (R)eserve (A)ccounting (U)nit (D)ollar...

    FRAUD

  • So the government decided my job for me? Can someone please explain this? I was fairly sure it was my choice.

  • I agree, The Fed controls The World.....but Obama is the Prez and any other Prez would have to yield to The Fed....Just like the rest have done.

  • Impeach Obama Now!!!

    10 trillion dollars of taxpayers money lost into Obamas mis-leadership!

    Yes we can ...Yes we can..?

    Impeach this dumb yuk Obama!

  • Dude, Bush was president the last eight years. Look at the economy when Clinton left office, and again when Bush left..... How much has been spend on this BULLSHIT war in Iraq??? Hmmm?

    You are an ignoramous....

  • ***spent**** my bad

  • Yeah but Obama could be the president to change our nations government into a Socialism, for example if the government runs health care then they can decide how often I get to see my doctor and which doctors I can see without my say, this limits my freedom.This is not what I or anyone else should want. Our downfall will be because of our ignorance. "A government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take everything from you"- Thomas Jefferson

  • Right, cause our freedoms aren't already limited....

  • Supports war in iraq 100 percent!

  • first!

    wait...

  • So ALL the money and wealth americans have and own are really debt owed to a federal reserve bank..

  • your username sounds like the punchline to a pirate joke...seriously, try saying out loud a few times while closing one eye...

  • Not really. Most money in circulation is owed to somebody, usually a commercial bank. The money supply is expanded through the commercial banking system as they fill the demand for credit. The central bank finds a reasonable trade off between inflation and growth by changing interest rates. The commercials react by also changng their interest rates. This system is far from perfect and needs some reform, but has produced higher living standards than any other monetary system.

  • @gunthaarz yes you are a slave to their money supply! we need to print debt free money is all and then we are done

  • This is a short clip from documentary "The Money Masters".

    watch?v=lXb-LrVkuwM

  • was this created by germans to undermine us.

  • Bernanke is a "bank breaker"

    The 16th Amendment should be abolished.

    The Federal Reserve Bank should be liquidated, and interest free currency should be printed by our government as stipulated in our original constitution.

  • "Placing blame for the national debt at the door of the Federal Reserve demonstrates a remarkable ignorance of how our government works. The national debt has but one cause: Congress. The debt is the sum of all the budget deficits and budget surpluses the federal government has ever had. It is Congress, not the Federal Reserve, that determines federal spending and tax rates. Therefore, it is Congress, not the Federal Reserve, who is responsible for it."

  • Hi - quoting whom, please?

    :)

  • Edward Flaherty, Ph.D. Department of Economics College of Charleston, S.C.

  • Thanks!

  • True, but the Federal Reserve is only too happy to lend the money out on interest. There is a mutual blame that must be shared among the two organizations and to say that the fed is inocent because it only gives people what they want is a big mistake.

  • good point. classic enabler situation - need a fiscal 12-step program - maybe Economics Anonymous?

  • thank you for putting up this vid because this shit is true its not a conspiracy and if u dont want to watch vids like this then go see the international it tells about the banks and there control and plus its a good action movie

  • Yes, thanks you for pointing out my MATH. I will try to do my MATH better next time. Next time I do a Phd in monetary economics, I'll make sure to be very careful with my MATH. The point I made had nothing to with Math. The point I made was that if rates we're lower, then the housing bubble would have probably been even worse. That's not MATH. These ridiculuous conspiracy theories are for people that simply do not understand monetary economics, and, you cro9, are no exception.

  • just don't try to create Division. use a Fraction more sense, Factor in that we are all Equals. to Sum up, you're 100 Per Cent right

  • I'm not creating division. I'm trying to point out that there are ways to improve society. But, this central bank conspiracy theory is barking up the wrong tree. Society, international relations, economics, etc., is complicated. But, holding onto a simple conspiracy theory to explain events around you that is not true will not change anyone's life for the better. If anything, it distracts people people away from real problems and real solutions. It's also very annoying.

  • I'm with you, bro. It was just a series of bad math puns: Division, Fraction, Factor, etc... Sorry for any confusion. But I'm not sorry for the bad puns. Cuz that was totally from the heart.

  • the other pint you made in a previous video is that you like to abuse poodles by borrowing them from your loving girlfriend and torturing them for a week whilst there helpless to defend themselves... a bit like whats gonna happen to you JasonSUQ on June 16th 2009...man i cant wait still trying to figure out my torture techniques and how im gonna find you

  • LOL!!1!11!one!!!eleven!!! LMCBO!!!! AhAHahahHAHAhAHha (**deep breath**) hAHhahAHAhAHahahaHAh haha ha HA!

  • Comment removed

  • Jason: If you do the math. Your theory does not pan out. If the Fed was nationalized by our government. A moderate income home buyer would not be paying 6% or more percent interest on a 30 year tradional home mortgage loan to a bank who got the money at a lower interest rate from either Fannie May or Freddy Mac who got their money from the Fed (at present time)0% interest!

  • This sub prime mortgage mess would have never happened if "We the People" who do not have high paying jobs would have been granted the right to borrow a low interest home mortgage loan based on income directly from the Federal Reserve Bank which should be nationalized for the moderate income working class people of our nation who for too long have been enslaved by bank's and lending institution's by high interest rates on money that they receive at a low interest rate from the Fed.

  • Dude. Interest rates we're extremely low. They we're below prime, hence, sub-prime. Even lower rates by directly borrowing from the FED wouild have probably created an even larger real estate bubble. If anything, monetary policy was not tight enough. But, after 9/11 there was a deflation risk. So, low rates at the time was reasonable.

  • I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

    Thomas Jefferson

  • uh-huh...i'd like to see where you're going with this and I'll allow it.

  • When will this conspiracy nonsense end?

    Let's put it this way. The FED is quasi-privately owned. The Bank of Canada and the Bank of England are nationalized, public intitutions. Explain to me how monetary policy of the FED, the Bank of Canada, and, the Bank of England have been different in the 50 years. They haven't been different at all. You would think that an organization that is supposedly corrupt would have different policies than public institutions. But, they have been the same.

  • I disagree with your statement that the Fed is "quasi-privately owned." What can that possibly mean? It's not publicly owned. It's not a branch of government. Congress can't control it. It issues stock to member banks. Member banks are privately owned. Therefore, the Fed is privately owned.

    Yes, they get gov't appointments to the board of governors and the chairman, but that doesn't speak to ownership of the system.

    It's a cartel of private interests controlling our money.

  • If it's a cartel of private interests, then why is it the case that the public central banks (essentially all other central banks in the developed world) have essentially the same monetary policies.

  • I don't follow you. After WW II, the dollar became the world's reserve currency, so the Fed is quite a powerful influence in the world. If you're trying to argue that the cartel cannot fulfill some public purpose while also supporting its members in the game, that doesn't follow.

    It's a fact that it's a banking cartel. What else would you call it? I mean, what would you call it if Exxon and Shell and BP were the "Federal Energy Commission"?

  • We have the FED, a private institution.

    We then have other central banks (Bank of Canada, Bank of England) that are public institutions. They are not privately owned.

    If the problem or conspiracy with the FED is that they are privately owned, then, you would think the FED would have different monetary policies than other publicly owned central banks.

    So, what monetary policies has the FED pursued that other central banks did not pursue that was not in the public's best interest?

  • Well, gee, how about creating the biggest credit bubble in history? Was putting us on the brink of collapse in the public interest?

    Was it different than other central banks? It varies. The Fed has an influence on the rest of the world because of the dollar status but others act domestically too.

    The very low interest rates created a great boom for Wall Street and the big banks. Many did ok in that boom like Paulson, making $38 million a few years ago. Nice, huh?

  • So, how did the FED create the biggest credit bubble in history?

    We've had real interest rates lower than this many times, and no credit bubble happened. How did the FED create this bubble?

  • Artificially low interest rates and fractional reserve banking. That's how you expand credit to fuel a boom.

    Money flowed into real estate creating the housing bubble and all its derivatives. When you run out of suckers to buy inflated real estate, the prices start to fall. Then you get the cascading effect of the bust which we are experiencing right now. Everyone seems to be over-leveraged now, having previously relied on continual growth to keep them solvent.

  • Were fractional reserves something created by tht FED, or, did they exist before the FED came into existence?

    What do you mean by artificially low interest rates?  What was low? The overnight rate, the mortage rate? Were "real" interest rates (interest rates adjusted for inflation) low by historical standards?

    Yes, a lot of money flowed into real-estate and a lot of irresponsible borrowing and lending happened. Was it the FED that was lending the money to retail mortage clients?

  • Of course the Fed did not create the idea of fractional reserves.

    Any interest rate not set by the market is artificial by definition because it is a price control. It is obvious that a rate which causes inflation is too low. Therefore, the rates were artificially low.

    It doesn't matter what the "historical standards" are for "low" rates. All players react to THIS market at THIS time.

    The Fed is the MONOPOLY supplier of money. It is absurd to suggest their actions do not drive the market!

  • The FED buys and sells gov bonds in an attempt to target the inflation rate.

    It was commercial lenders making these bad and irresponsible loans, not the FED. The FED does not regulate commercial lenders, the congress does. If commercial lenders took on too much risk, that is not the fault of the FED. Alan Greenspan lobbied congress and the senate for reforms to limit the lending practices of commercial lenders.

    You've been watching too much Zeitgeist.

  • So what the Fed does has no effect on lending?

    That's a shame! Perhaps we should grant them more power since they are powerless to affect the supply of money and credit in this country. Call your congressman and tell them the Fed needs to be able to influence monetary policy. Hurry!

    It's all those bad loans to part-time janitors buying million-dollar homes, right?

    That's the cause the massive bubble.

    You've been watching too many congressional hearings.

  • They have an effect on the demand for credit, by changing short term interest rates, that's it. All those part time janitors in million dollar homes is the result of commercial lenders taking too much risk and being over leveraged, and not enforcing debt contracts on consumers. Whether the FED pursues a policy of a 2% overnight rate or a 10% overnight change does not change whether commercial lenders and consumers make responsible decisions. The FED has nothing to do with the currecnt crisis.

  • I see, so it doesn't matter where the Fed sets interest rates.

    Thanks.

  • Of course it does. It impacts the demand for credit, which impacts economic growth and inflation. Does it impact whether commercial lenders and borrowers make rational choices? No. The current bust is because lenders and consumers made irrational choices, which, can be avoided with proper regulation. These irrational choices we're not caused the FEDs overnight rate. It's caused by greed, stupidty, bankrupcty laws, etc..Besides, as I've said, real interest we're not that low.

  • It's easy to make irrational choices when credit is cheap. You're sending signals to the market. You're telling the banks to lend and the people to borrow and spend. There's not enough feedback.

    The very purpose of the Fed is to maintain a stable system. It's like you're trying to blame the collapse of the house of cards on the top tier. Sub-prime was the catalyst of the meltdown.

    The cause of the bubble is the Fed since they CONTROL monetary policy. Cheap credit fuels "greed".

  • Dude, you're blaming irresponsible borrowing and lending on the intitution that sets the price for borrowing and lending. Think about it. People and organizations have to take responsibility for the economic choices and risks they take. You can't just pass the blame onto the interst rate setter and ignore irrational borrowing and lending. You need to hold people accountable for their decisions. How can you ever expect reform believing that? Debating with you conspiracy guys is maddening.

  • Sure, we borrow too much. But the initial creation of the credit itself is what you have to look at. The Fed is private. It's organized crime on parade. They are using the fed to ruin us and WW III is on it's way.

  • Its amazes me how people still believe in free market, and fractional banking system in this day and age.

    Some people are very content to be ignorant.

  • To this day, Great Britain collects taxes from the United States via the IRS,

    The IRS is not even an agency of the United States government. Look up IRS publication 6209.

    It is an Agency of the IMF, which is governed by the United Nations. The FCC, the CIA, FBI, and NASA were never part of the United States government, the US government only holds shares in these organizations.

  • The Fed is an evil corrupt piece of crap.

  • that's why we need to pay mortgage INTEREST when buying OVERPRICED house.

  • No one can run this country unless the federal reserve is gone

  • The US federal reserve has bailed out AIG but at what cost? How many of us around the world have a vested interest in this and dont even realise? Sit back and watch one bank after the other collapse all over the world, then from the ruins will emerge one private company in each country with overall controll of our economys. I'd be willing to bet these companys will be owned by a few elite banking familys or "the men behind the curtain" think about it ppl!!!

  • Does anyone else see the path to a ONE WORLD BANK being made clearer due to the current econcomic climate? Sevrog, i see ur an economist, this time one month ago could u have predicted 2 major UK banking institutions being merged to controll 22% of the UKs savings and mortgages? thats app one third of all banking being backed by ONE COMPANY not a public body. Belive me i'm no scaremonger but i do belive that this situation has been created and is being controlled by an elite few.

  • I am interested in learning about this, and support the theme that Americans (some) have no clue what is going on. Look who they vote for!

  • No we don't & neither do you, It's been going on longer in Europe.

  • We may find out tonight what is going on, have you seen the elaborate offices of the AIG? Looks like the Hilton Lobby.

    Lobby - haha. LOL

  • I wonder how many thumbs down I'll get for saying "Ron Paul sucks ass" on here.

  • I'm open to various conspiracy theroes, and, some of them make sense. For the FED though, I just don't see it. Fot the most part, since the end of WW2, the FED has pursued monetary policies that have been "good". If they we're deliberatly driving the economy into recession, or deliberatly creating excess inflation, then I would be more open to a conspiracy. However, this has not happened. So, my question is, how has the FED policy in the last 50 years, been bad for the US?

  • Look at what's happening now. The world is being primed for a massive Depression. Also how can you tell if something is good or bad when it is all you know?

  • What "is" happening now? How is the world being primed for a dperession? I really cannot tell if something is good or bad unless I have something to compare it against. What we really have as a comparison is what life was like pre-fed reserve. Life expenctancy, lesire time, real incomes, home-ownership, asset/debt ratio, productivity, public safety (safer streets), etc., have all increased in the last 50-60 years. A time when apparently, the fed had control over the money supply.

  • You must be A real die hard patriot of the USA. The federal reserve is a massive organization. That impact a lot of global happenings. It's unbelievable, but true look at your American dollar its worth less and also it say's federal reserve note. Hint go to the place that reserves the backing for the currency and ask for the gold that backs that currency.. They will laugh you out of the bank.. Its true its politics no one tells the truth only what the people want to hear..

  • Listen to what the video says at (0:11) THE average American has NO IDEA! THats the POINT! You claim you "just can't see it". Thats exactly the PURPOSE and the PLAN. We don't really know how much control they have over us SPECIFICALLY, but we do know they control us. NO one audits these people. YOu also are looking at things from an AMerican point of view. THe Influence the FED RESERVE wields across the World is beyond belief. WTO, U.N,WTC, WOrld bank, etc are all part of this scheme.

  • The congress audits the fed reserve anually.

    What has the world bank, UN, WTC, WTO, etc. done is damage the world economy, or our lives? We can't just be asked to beleive something without some valid reasons/example.

  • Congress gets paid to PASS LAWS not read them. WHen they "audit" the fED is nothing more than rubber-stamped approval. THe WTO is perhaps the worst of all these WORLD organizations. THE WTO is nothing more than International money controllers and titans of industry that wield influence over entire governments. NAFTA, CAFTA and all these trade deals that have given big corporations ccess to cheap labor? ITs the WTO who has our politicians by the balls.

  • That all sounds great and I'm sure you feel very strongly about this. But, what evidence do you have supporting these beliefs? Or for that matter, what evidence does anyone have on the central banking conspiracy. remeber, it's called a conspiracy "theory" for a reason. Unless good empirical evidence is presented to back it up, it is only a theory. I'm not saying it's wrong, i'm saying just these beliefs needs reasonable proof in order for me and others to beleive them.

  • Congress has never audited the reserve! Please read into the history of the federal reserve starting in 1913 with Woodrow Wilson. Our constitution says that currency/coin will be made within our gov't and never to an outside source. Federal Reaserve is a private organization my friend. They want us to believe that nothing is wrong, but when we soon sit back with zero cash and a controlled money system run by them, then we will all be asking what the fuck happened?

  • There is no conspiracy involved. The federal reserve is owned by private banking firms both domestic and international. There is also no supreme court passed law saying we have to pay income tax. There is a IRS rule in there 6 million page book but who cares. Our constitution is basically getting pissed on now. I believe mr Bush said that it was only a piece of paper. All of our income tax goes to the reserve and they collect interst off of it. This is scary-but true. research it. our $1=.04cnts

  • I have researched it. I'm an economist, it's my job.

    The conspiracy is based on the fact the reserve is "kind of" privately owned. However, the monetary policies of the reserve have been essentially no different than that pursued by the bank of Canada and bank of England, which are public institutions.

    There is no interest paid to the reserve from tax revenue. That interest is paid to the owners of government debt; commercial banks, mutual funds, etc.. It has nothing to do with the FED.

  • Also, this interest paid is entirely a political decision. There is no need for governments to borrow at interest if they do not run deficits. It does not matter which monetary system we have; if governments spend more than they take in revenue (and we elect and re-elect those governments), we end up with debt and excess inflation. This has nothing to do with the FED. These FED conspiracies are a joke and no economist takes it with a grain of salt.

  • These conspiracy guys are killing me already! Their so quick to point out the problems with our systems, but can't offer any reasonable solutions? They watch a 45 second video and all of a sudden their subject matter experts on monetary policy? I guess it's easier to blame the Federal Reserve for our problems than to take a little personal responsibility?

  • The Federal Reserve is a private banking cartel brought into being through fraud and deception. It is private central bank of international bankers more powerful than the Federal Government, the Congress, or the Courts.

    you have to be really stupid to think that these movies and proofs are conspiracies or fakes...TIME TO WAKE UP AND TAKE A STAND AND FIGHT BACK!

  • Between the Federal Reserve, and the lack of border control, you can kiss the U.S.A. goodbye....

  • President Bush is putting forth a proposal to give even more control to the Federal Reserve. Please contact your Congressman and ask them to oppose this.

    If you google "Feds Seek Overhaul of Financial Rules" you'll be able to read the article.

  • why would you say that? Ron Paul seems like...the only "honest" politician in the race...(After saying that i laugh at my self because no politican is honest, lol) But he really does seem to have very good intentions.

  • My problem really isn't with Ron Paul, it's his supporters that concern me the most and for various reasons.

  • well, yeah some of his supporters are complete looney tunes but he won't be influenced by his supporters, he has his own agenda he will follow. So don't let the crazy cooks stop you from voting 4 the man. He really does have a great plan! research him.

  • You are a fucking loon.  You like high taxes? Fucking moron.

  • Do you not realize that these high gas prices and cost of living (due to the fact that the dollar is hardly worth anything nowadays) are WAY worse than high taxes?

  • Insanity is the domain of mainstream candidates and their supporters. Every mainstream candidate supports Real ID, the Patriot Act and the genocidal war in the Middle East. Not one mainstream candidate would dare touch an issue like the Federal Reserve, a plainly criminal system with pervasive impact on our lives. Who could possibly out-cook the anointed candidates and their supporters?

  • What's wrong with protecting the borders from those who want to bring harm to us physically or economically. The Green Party has done a pretty good job of Out-Kooking the mainstream especially with Cynthia McKinney. Maybe we can print up some Jerry Garcia currency smoke a doobie and solve all of our problem.

  • I'd take the Green Party over Obama, McCain or Clinton any day. I'd take Ron Paul as well. On immigration, I'm basically with you. The massive wave of illegal immigration is actively supported by the multi-nationals and the big foundations. It is big business/North American Union subterfuge involving manipulation of Mexicans and Americans alike.

  • RU Paul has all the tools the village people love!!

  • See google videos "Money as Debt" "Monopoly Men" "The Money Masters" "America, Freedom to Fascism" and "Zeitgeist" to get an understanding of the chess game from the wealthy side of the table.

  • Money masters I got this to, seen monopoly men. Its good too.

  • Watch: Freedom to Fascism by Aaron Russo

    -John Francis Kennedy

    They were all people killed or attempted to be killed by the banking elite throughout history. Oddly enough, they all worked to instill into the people's government a system that issued its own money interest and debt free. Coincidence I think not...

  • well to short atleast break down the important point into less then 11.00 minit in 4 parts will do, so ppl won't feel bore to know

  • longer

  • How was the length?

    Should subsequent series pieces be longer, shorter, or about the same runtime?

    Thanks for the input!

  • It was way too short.

    You can't do justice to this matter with short clips. You've got to expose the whole thing, like this:

    http://video.google.com/videos­earch?q=money+masters

  • As you point out, the entire three-hour presentation is available on Google video. These edits, however, are summarizing main issues for folks that can't or won't watch the full three hours.

  • Hmm, things seem to be working out pretty well under our current system...

  • They certainly do, indeed.

  • Working out pretty well for whom?
