LPACTV: The True Story of The Bretton Woods

[radomu1]

I think the facts are correct with this video, but it deifies FDR far too much and too dependent on the myth that the US was acting on the interests of other nations.

[AlternativaRed]

21 british oligarchs saw this video.

[TyroneSandalphon]

Where did all the "hot metal" go on 911?

[bkdmd]

When you look at all of the problems our country has today, it is always the places where government has control. It is black and white and as simple as that.

[renderman1200]

also check fdr's executive order 6102.

[renderman1200]

@gmirk22 you covered me.

[cabadejo]

I do not believe this thing. It is as if the British Empire never did any good. Making the USD the world reserve currency was the way the American imperialist regime took over.

The US has cooked its goose. The Fed is full of crooks and is a private company anyway. Being a reserve currency has mention the US can print money endlessly and they have. No they are screwed by trillions of debt.

[1XMarksSpot]

There's just one problem. The Federal Reserve isn't government owned. It's PRIVATELY owned by international bankers for over 100 years.

[djhectorb1]

Every one please watch ziegeist by alex jones and compare

[davenetdog]

Socialist Propaganda! Stole American freedom in exchange for monetization of America's future.

[cockyhemi]

This is a bunch of bullshit. Our 'currency' is not worth anything, and Roosevelt is partially to blame for this. Get back to a gold standard instead of raping everyone of whatever 'wealth' that they had by stealing their gold from them as Roosevelt did.

[TheArtofBoxing]

IMF are idiots...they think by influence, they will control things.....they will cause a war againest themselves.

there own mebers will turn....and they will all be murdered one day.

the lower classes have always shed blood ,once they knew there enemy.....and a disgrunted member will be the one to id them.

but i guess this is the way of the world.

[VincenzoB81]

You guys gotta stop with this FDR love. It's like your basis or something. FDR was New World Order all the way.

[Wobdifurousness]

Freedom of speech on this thread seems to be highly conditional. Let's see if laroucheyouth has enough guts to accept and respond to this comment.

This video is a lying slur on Great Britain. It utterly traduces John Maynard Keynes, who advocated demand management in Britain on a similar basis to FDR and emphatically was NOT seeking to retain British power via the impoverishment of ordinary people. That's just a lie.

Harry S Truman was a much bigger man than Lyndon Larouche ever could be.

[IppatsuTensei88]

How long did it take, again, for the FRB to bankrupt the nation?... 20 years to go from the largest creditor nation to bankruptcy in 1933.

[Wobdifurousness]

I am British. Much as I admire and respect FDR for New Deal, this video is a slur on President Truman, John Maynard Keynes and on my entire country. The conspiracy which this woman alludes to, for example castigating London's gold market, is "arbitrage" (look it up), a free market mechanism which destroys rigged or false positions. The Bretton Woods system was a rigged and falsoe position.Who is she to call Truman a "very little man?" He was finer and better than she is capable of understanding.

[Wobdifurousness]

This is the biggest load of bollocks I have ever seen. The conspiracy by we wicked British to attack the visionary and enlightened policies of FDR, Morgenthau and Dexter-White was actually arbitrage, the natural market safeguard which undermines an artificial and rigged under or over-valuation of any asset. I find the slur on my country and the character assassinations of President Truman and of John Maynard Keynes deeply offensive also. Whoever is responsible for this film can piss off.

[Wobdifurousness]

This is the biggest load of bollocks I have ever seen

[Rico8458]

he followed the example of AH in germany

[doughtymqan]

This is a load of CRAP!! Yes he did all that & it only made things worse.

[Salvysahagun]

@doughtymqan

Actually if you watch the Video you'll discover that the British high jacked Bretton Woods

[Ben1607]

i could do without the american propaganda in here- but otherwise this is helpful... if you can pick thru the red,white and blue bias. there is no good or evil in this world. Do some REAL digging into america's history- there is much more dried blood under our fingernails than under Nazi germany

[JohnECocaine]

This is bullshit.

[GMirk22]

FDR is one of the reasons we are in this mess today. An economy eventually collapses when you create money out of nothing. Read a book on basic economics. Try "How an Economy Grows and Why it Crashes" by Peter Schiff. It's short and simple. Then read a book on The Federal Reserve System which is a privately owned central bank established in 1913 . Try "The Creature from Jekyll Island" by G. Edward Griffin. Government has to keep their hands out of the market. They destroy everything.

[Zamolxx]

Under FDR the federal reserve had a lot more independence from private baking, FDR passed through the FDIC and Glass Steagall. The reason why your country is in shit today, is because of outsourcing your productive manufacturing capabitilites, because of your crippling infrastructure, because of financial derivatives, because your commercial banking system is poisoned by derivatives, because the fed now works against the US people more than it did anytime in history.

[SupraSovereign]

Bretton Woods never failed as they say it did. It is still in FULL force evidenced by the organizations that it birthed early on, namely the WORLD BANK, IMF, and WTO.

We need to keep Bretton Woods "TREATY" agreements......far far away from US and go back to silver and gold and get away from fiat currency.

Bretton Woods Treaty Agreements is the foundation for the NEW WORLD ORDER. If you want global slavery, then support Bretton Woods!

[laroucheyouth]

@SupraSovereign

I think you missed the point of the video.

[Ben1607]

@laroucheyouth -- no, he understands it more than you

[Zamolxx]

Dude you are so wrong. The international banksters destroyed the Bretton Woods system in 1971. At that very year the Inter Alpha group of banks was formed. It is this group that now controls the majority of the world's finances. And they are bankrupt and have been illegally bailed out! The Bretton Woods didn't allow inflation via currency depreciation, it created the environment for reconstruction, listen to Chomsky's favorable opinion of the Bretton Woods system.

[kakkvogl]

Anybody who has read about the Bretton Woods Systems knows, that this documentary is bullcrap. The Takedowm of the BWS is explained totally wrong. Read you guys, read!

[DreadfulSolemnity]

Whoever wrote that FDR prolonged the Depression with the New Deal is a blithering idiot who should be summarily disembowled and have his heart and entrails plucked out from his chest.

[haynever]

FDR prolonged the depression in the US with the new deal. It was the start of the cancer (Progressivism) that is killing us today.

[GMirk22]

@haynever Yes indeed

[beecritical]

This video gives one explanation of how the IMF and the World Bank went from being honest institutions to obtaining an almost "imperial" status today, especially in Indonesia and South America. IMF loans and aid are usually contingent upon adopting reforms which set strict limits on applicant nations' spending and by making other structural adjustments which among other things involves cutbacks in social and welfare programs. Thanks for an interesting video.

[anastasia81472]

Great documentary, very telling. Thank you.

[weirdjoei]

The Fascist coup. in Chile under Augusto Pinochet was also a policy of "free markets" imposed upon them by none other than the "Chicago Boys" who push "free markets"

Free Markets means free of actual government intervention, which isn't in accord with the Constitution of our Country, that's exactly what the Larouche kids are saying... they aren't misleading anyone.

[CHRIS1974100]

Im halfway watching this video. Great work again guys and gals. Keep it up. Thank s

We need more bombing.

[IExposeMormonism]

@qminusis Nice list, I copy&pasted it. But you missed the 911/WTC event, done by a gov't within the gov't . Roosevelt was a godless moralless monster, His agenda is the NWO promised us by HG Wells and his ilk over the years, Still we think we are a free people.Tesla gave us our electrification of rural and urban World.Roosevelt intentionally allowed Japan to bomb Pearl Harbor:: See 911/WTC to better understand Pearl Harbor: Except this time we just hit our self in the face and screamed "Assault"

[carlosjhr64]

Rosevelt was Sate Corporate,

a social disease that infested the world at that time and took its ugliest form in Italy and Germany. This period marks the rise of the State everywhere in the world.

Mind that I'm calling Rosevelt neither a Nazy nor a Fascist, just that he falls under the broad unbrella of State-Corporatism which gives up Liberty as a viable economic system.

Thanks, laroucheyouth, for clarifying who you are... you've been misleading.

[laroucheyouth]

Your analysis is simply wrong. They are by no means under the same umbrella. Hitler, and fascism generally, was the creation of the international financial British empire. This form of fascism was created to destroy sovereign nations, and break them so that they will operate under the control of the empire.

In other words, Hitler was the "free market's" solution to the German economic crisis.

[carlosjhr64]

I don't waste time with "flat earth" statements like *Hitler was the "free market's"*

[laroucheyouth]

That is the truth of the matter. He was installed as an instrument of the financial oligarchy which controlled what foolish people call "free markets."

Those that installed Hitler include the collaboration of Wall Street financial elite, including the grandfather of George W Bush, Prescott Bush; though the top direction was British. These are the so-called, simple facts of the matter.

[daniel987878]

Hilter's fascism was not free market. Fascism is corporatism and government in collusion how is that free market?

[laroucheyouth]

FDR had to defeat the drive for fascism coming from the Wall Street-London alliance, as the case of the Morgan-Smedley Butler coup plot is indicative. This history is presented quite well and clear in our feature video "1932."

[carlosjhr64]

I want to reiterate that I'm not calling FDR a Nazi nor a Fascist, and it is because of FDR that Democracies win WWII. But under him we had a state controlled economy, as shown on this video.

Once you understand how money works, as per Hayek, the economic history starting with the FED in 1913, the roaring 20's, and the crash and Great Depresion, the cause becomes really obvious. It wasn't the free market that failed.

[Ben1607]

@laroucheyouth -- you should be asking these people questions. stop preaching.

[QIQrrr]

What ↑ said.

[MTL911Truth]

wrong the state did not run all the corporations under FDR. There were several corporations run by the government, like the Tennessee Valley Authority, which were created to improve the general welfare, but that does not mean that the state ran all corporations like in Mussolini's Italy. To equate the two would be a howlingly bad interpretation of history. FDR was reviving the American System of Economics of Henry Carey against the "free-trade" of the British Empire.

[ExquisiteDoom]

@MTL911Truth Question for you, since the state creates the framework under which a corporation is built upon, would it be fair to say that the state should be held responsible for corporate lack of responsability? Nobody owns a corporation, thus you cannot hold anyone accountable. On a second note, the state is the judicator in corporate misconduct. Not the clients. Get my drift?

[Zamolxx]

Dude state capitalism was the model that worked centuries ago. You can't claim that FDR was a corporatist, because he never advocated trans-national corporations or banks. Look at what his Glass Steagall prescribes, what his ides of the UN prescribe. The countries that emerged from the international recession were Japan and Germany, which abandoned the gold standard. Both plain fiat currency and gold standard are a folly, money has no intrinsic value, the only way to keep money objective

[Zamolxx]

is to have a clean commercial banking system that is not mixed with investment banking. Keeping speculators, hedge funds, sub-primes and financial derivatives away from depository institutions. Have a trully sovereign NATIONAL bank that works under the supervision of the treasury department and that answers to the citizens and tie that banking system to productive projects in infrastructure, industry, agriculture and energy.

[artregal]

@carlosjhr64 ...look and listen again...
