The Roman system of money supply may have been a good idea, but their imperialism and reliance on slavery sucked, so let's not worship them uncritically.
GREED is the root to all evil. Greedy bankers have ran all the once good debt free countries into the ground. They have grown accustomed to the lifestyles they live and will try to keep those lifestyles as long as they can regardless of how many people sleep on the streets at night and die from starvation.
In the end of your speech, at the end of this presentation - as silly as this may sound to some - I saw your heart in your eyes, Mr Still. I saw the determination and the sadness of a great man who would only wish his words to be heard, for he already knows the outcome of such an address.
Mr Still, I send to you, from one goodman to another, a happy day, sir! I have heard! And yes, sir, I understand.
The people MUST control the money, lest they forfeit their freedoms.
Or like all the guests that go on the Alex Jones show telling you to buy gold and silver because the economy is going to collapse.
If the economy collapses, gold and silver aren't going to buy or get you anything. The only two metals that will get you anything will be copper and lead; as in copper jacketed lead bullets.
I like Ron Paul's message of smaller government, an end to the control of our money by the Federal Reserve, and an end to pointless wars abroad, but his promoting of a return to the gold standard always sounded thin.
And when you see that he is invested into several mining and exploration companies you realize just why he'd want gold to become money again.
@ott0Kitam -- hmmmm, I would, but he has said that I ripped off his thesis 20 years ago. Never even heard of the guy until last year. He obviously doesn't have much of an audience for some reason.
I am left both enlightened and full of questions after watching this video.
1) You mean to tell me that the US Govt bends over to the big banks that ultimately control everything?
2)You mean to tell me that the US Govt literally has to say "We're not borrowing from you any more", and just start making its own money and tell banks to go fail?
Why does Still say the constitution doesn't allow Congress to produce money? Art. 1, Sec 8 clause 5 specifically says that Congress can "coin Money" and Lincoln used that clause to allow him to do exactly that. We can do so again.
Bank of England and Loyd's of London are the roots of all Evil.
They own the Russian, Indian and Chinese banks as well as the rest of the world. We do not owe to China, we owe to these guys through China and the rest of the world.. Mortgaging the world over and over, just like refinancing our houses, keep paying interest forever, never paying the principle! That easy!
#BRINGBACKGREENBACKS We have to start acting people, Mr. Still I thank you for "The Money Masters." You couldn't have explained it more beautifully to me. Americans have GOT to realize America runs on a English GOLD Standard and he can easily overthrow it with UNITY. #BRINGBACKGREENBACKS. WE MUST ACT.
Bill, have you looked at article on Numismatic News about last publicly allowed trip to Fort Knox in September 1974, even with press involved? It claims in 1974, gold audit was done and all gold that was supposed to be there was there. wwwDOTnumismaticnewsDOTnet/article/Gold_all_there_when_Ft_Knox_opened_doors I think in Money Masters, you seemed to claim they took out all the gold out of Fort Knox before WWII?? Any clarification?
@MrAppleseed88 YOURE KIDDING!!!!! REALLY!!!!????? Where? I though the school system was destroyed in USA? I'm Aussie and have been watching you guys like a hawk... Really!!?? My heart would soar! I thought they made a point NOT to teach the monetary system??? Please respond!
@bstill3 Oh ok good. I wasn't sure what you meant when discussing the fractional reserve system in the beginning. If this is really bill still, what do you think of the kennedy assassination? Did it have to do with executive order 11110. And will you vote for Ron Paul?
I don't think that the problem is necessarily precious metals, but usury-based money and central banks. I really like the Money Masters movie, which talks about the problem with central banks. I would say that we should legalize competing currencies, including the government-issued currency you talk about. Is this reasonable, or are you going paint me as deluded?
Also, what about the decentralized movements, such as LETS and bitcoin?
Wall St has a gun aimed at the heads (and families) of Our elected officials, every single one of them, year after year, 24/7 for the rest of thier lives. And no one realizes it..they cant blow the whistle or else they and thier loved ones go join JFK.
You can support debt free money and a commodity standard at the same time. Mr. Still is ignoring the horrible affects if inflation. If the government can just print as much greenbacks as it needs we will have an inflation of infinity. You have to solve both problems at the same time to be successfull. The standard can be gold, silver, oil, or whatever.
@KidA452 -- Nonsense! What this is ALL about is bringing STABILITY to the QUANTITY of money. If you can't do that, then you have done exactly nothing.
Read up about the Opium wars and how the British were resistant to the Chinese attempts to rid themselves of the addiction to Opium - it's a good analogy to the money market, money is like a drug, the industry is controlled by a few who want to keep getting extremely rich and they will behave like criminals to make sure the addicted don't get off their drug.
GOD BLESS BILL STILL FOR INFORMING THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD ABOUT THIS. IT IS NOW UP TO THE GOOD LEADERS OF ALL NATIONS AND ITS PEOPLE IF THEY BOTH HAVE THE POLITICAL WILL TO CHANGE THE WORLD ECONOMIC SYSTEM. TO THOSE IN POWER, DO YOU HAVE THE MORAL RESPONSIBILITY TO LOVE OR KILL OTHERS? GOOD VS EVIL - GOOD WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL. THIS IS THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE.
I have a question. While I understand fractional reserve banking, not to mention dislike its principles, I wonder how banks are(were) able to lend out more than they had in reserve. I'm asking this in the literal sense. Where does that money come from? I know many will say out of thin air... but think about it.
Consider the process before digital money (all money exists as printed). If a bank is allowed to lend out more money then they have on reserve, wouldn't they run out of printed bills?
@MCShadesz -- They would, but only a small percentage of the money supply is in printed bills. The VAST majority of the money supply is simply bookeeping entries in bank ledgers.
Not 1 wiord about john F. kennedy or the government printed Silver Certificates he had printed and issued or that that may be the reason of his assassination. otherwise a good docu film
@bowecho The more thumbs up this gets the better the odds. Or at least u could derive a percentage of people like us who have to suffer from the world we are forced to endure by the sleeping stupidity and cruel apathy of those that didnt thumb it up.
At 0:03:30 I'm not sure I quite understand what Still is saying. I thought the Fed supplied all the money for the banks to loan out via the fractional reserve concept. Still says that the banks can create money out of thin air?? I'm confused.
What if there was a true free market of money and no legal restrictions by the government. Banks or anyone could just create their own currencies and the strongest and most respected ones would be used widespread. Wouldn't unfettered competition be the best way to end corruption since a good and honest service or system naturally beats out a corrupt and unbeneficial one?
Watched the whole thing and must say this has straightened out so much of my previous wondering about money and the gold standard. This is a MUST WATCH for EVERY Child and Adult. He explains everything very clearly and completely.
@Derugug2: You need to pay closer attention to the video. Printing money is only useful when the money is used to expand PRODUCTION (manufacturing). Zimbabwe did not use the money to expand its manufacturing base.
If you want to understand when printing money is good/bad, study the basic Macro-Economic formula MV=PQ
@Derukugi2 it's the quantity that counts. At the moment banks print money - except they don't actually print it, they just "imagine it" into thin air...
@Derukugi2 In Zimbabwe, government doesn't print money. The private banks installed a central bank there there in 1956 and everything went to hell in a hand basket.
@NAZABAS1 -- exactly! THat's why killing the Fed is not the solution. You have to kill the ability of the commercial banks to lend money they do not have along with forbidding any sort of government borrowing.
Wait wait wait wait. This is wrong. Rome wasn't prosperous solely because it didn't use a gold or silver standard for its currency... it was prosperous because they had slaves do EVERYTHING. They worked on virtually all major construction projects.
And see, the great thing about slavery is that you dont have to pay them. :P
I'm not saying this video doesn't have good ideas, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. This video needs to acknowledge two key parts of Rome's success: slavery, and war.
@Stillwater900 Several rascals are quoted in this film. Obama's statement was typical -soothing, yet empty and which offered no tangible solutions to global problems. Bill Still did not endorse it, he scoffed it. Viewing the film again is advisable. Happy new year.
@bstill3 Yeah, he had his way bought into office by the banksters. We've never had an administration that is so full of Wall Street... I don't even believe that presidents are elected in the first place, I think voting is just a sham
@Stillwater900 He's just a puppet. Ignorant people don't get that. he's not a bad man just fearful of the bankers who force him probably through threat to do their will. He's just a puppet hate the people pulling the strings not the face on the doll.
Here are some VERY IMPORTANT things that some people don't know about Washington DC. It has its [own] independent constitution(lex fori) and has it's own flag. A nice obelisk too....
***The three red stars of the Washington DC flag, each represents a city state.
I'm now supporting Bill Still for president. Our country needs him now. I linked this video to coin #106 in my website which is a fantasy political game called "Heaven's Aces In The Hole" The website URL is my name.
Mr. Still, watching this doc for the second time to absorb all of it...my head hurts! This is INCREDIBLE info and history, why are we not taught this in history class?
Please go viral BEFORE we lose our Sovereignty to the UN, the International Banksters and the Fascist Corporations. We are financing our own enslavement under the Tyranny of Debt.
Longest thing I have ever watched on Youtube, but didn't even seem very long at all! Some brilliant stuff here, so illuminating, probably can be questioned from some angles but the general thrust is fascinating. Fabulous quotes. Amazing. Puts the protesters of today in quite a different light.
At around 8:25, the statement "you can't borrow your way out of debt" was issued multiple times. But consider this example. Say you're behind to the house 10:1 in Blackjack and you now owe them a lot of money. If you are allowed to continually double down, eventually you'll get a winning hand and problem solved. But clearly breaking even is no fun. So what if you pay yourself huge bonuses during the game for being the awesome player that you clearly are?
sounds like a plan to me. Let's get rid of the banksters and their lackeys, bring in non-scarce monetary systems, create acc0untability at all levels, use critical thinking, teach it in schools, revere good laws in statuates to enforce and enshrine full human rights, scrutinise secret societies, devolve from global to state to local societies. Punish by law the guilty who perpetuate the madness.
Usury is worse than planned obsolescence.. The current fiat scheme is inherently diseased Lending at interest necessitates Inflation and/or deflation. It serves those closest to the souce of money creation, and deprives/enslaves those furthest away. Bias, discrimination, nepotism, and Illigitimate class distinctions spring up and evolve. The 'haves' and the 'have nots'... The way forward is Equal Parts debt repudiation, and interest free credit for all citizens. - Non inflationary...
Bill, thanks for the video, it's so insightful and educational and it's such a shame this part of our history isn't really taught on a large scale if at all. I was wondering though, have you read up on Libya and their 0% interest banking system?
@bstill3 Mr. Still, Do you support a tax on individual income? I know you have stated that you arent as interested in tax reform as monetary reform, however i think the two issues are intertwined insomuch as an income tax is a direct violation of the Constitution because it inhibits mans right to own what hes earned. I say this because with a non transparent high interest lender, (FED) our tax dollars are easy fodder for black budget slush funds. I am new to this and am trying to keep it basic
"3. I will abolish the Internal Revenue System and the income tax – both personal and corporate — and implement a fair, simple and equitable consumption tax in accordance with the U.S. Constitution. This is how we funded our government for the first 100 years, and we can do it again."
@greatmackattack i've taken this idea of monetary reform to heart, and I think it would work well with a tax shift... away from taxes on labor and trade, and move toward privileges over the commons (land, severance and pollution taxes) which don't violate anyone's rights. It's something to consider, and also resolves the demand issue for currency.
@RandallSteen I'd like to see Ron Paul for President, Bill Still for Secretary of the Treasury, Outlawed Government Debt, Outlawed Fractional Reserve Banking, Abolishment of all unconstitutional Federal & State Bureaucracies and The Fair Tax enacted at 9%... That would be an America that would led the world in Liberty and Justice for all...
@RandallSteen Ron Paul for President, Bill Still for Secretary of the Treasury, Outlawed Government Debt, Outlawed Fractional Reserve Banking, Abolishment of all unconstitutional Federal & State Bureaucracies and The Fair Tax enacted at 9%... That would be an America that would lead the world in Liberty and Justice for all...
"I know you're out there... [...] I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us, you're afraid of change... I don't know the future... I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end, I came here to tell you how this is going to begin. Now [...] I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you... a world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world...where anything is possible."
Bill, could you make a deal with Ron Paul to run with him in 2012, if he doesn't win the Republican nomination? If so, you would make an absolute TEAM! Who cares who the president is, as long as it is one of you!
@gamingeh, you should read E.O. 11110 - "The authority vested in the President by paragraph (b) of section 43 of the Act of May 12, 1933, as amended (31 U.S.C. 821 (b)), to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury . . .: [Yes JFK did try to go around the Fed.]
... the "foreclosure mill" mocking its victims and laughing about the suffering they caused described in a NY TImes Op-ed piece by Joe Nocera on Oct 29 called "What the Costumes Reveal" ... Baum employees in halloween costumes as homeless people they foreclosed on. Disgusting and sadly ironic this firm shares the surname of the Wizard's author.
Thank you for making this doc. I hope it inspires the Occupy Movement to cause an anti-private bank revolution. Clearly "bankster" is an appropriate moniker for the Fed and private finance in the world. They are psychopaths and criminals driven to control the world's wealth and cause human suffering. An example illustrating this and your point about premeditated debt manipulation causing foreclosures is the thuggery of the Stephen J. Baum "foreclosure mill", the banksters' enforcer...con't
@bstill3 Oswald was the lone assassin. The weapon was capable. The target was moving in a straight line away from the sniper at slow speed and only 88 yds distance on the fatal 3rd shot. Nellie Connally distincly recalled 3 separate shots. I have a Mod. 38 identical to LHO's weapon with identical scope and mount. I made the shot several times (in time) with ease and I'm half blind. Also, the ammon is not the wimpy round many claim. It kicks like a mule and sounds like a cannon when discharged.
say cut to the chase... You can spare yourself from the ridiculous references to the wizard of oz and go straight to the facts of the problem. Begin watching at 1:48:32 and you will have all the info you need from this video. All the rest is "blah blah blah".
If perchance, you cannot understand this section of the video, then go ahead and watch the rest. But it really is quite simple. The USA is being screwed by the big banks and this needs to stop. NOW. Re-read bstill3 's description.
Love that this is such a great complement to his "Money Masters" full length documentary. Love it's impeccable truth, PRAY OCCUPY WALL STREET SEE BOTH DOCUMENTARIES TO MAKE THE FINAL CASE FOR THE PLANET JUDGEMENT ON THE OLIGARCHY AND LOGIC NEEDED TO SAVE OUR ASSES.
I try to tell people that Presidents are not shot by crazy people. They always know what they are doing. Including Lee Harvey Oswald who acted alone because he was a commie traitor.
@HyperboreanBrew -- No, but they can issue their own bonds instead of having to pay interest to the New York money center banks. Keeps some of the state's money at home.
I have a feeling that Obama knows he is not going to win this next election and I think he is going to split with all the money he is collecting and the moneys that were to go too these co. that he gave money to and they filed for bankruptcy .
Fabulous work! What are some ways you envision these changes coming to pass? Corporate lobbying today would make it difficult to get an honest candidate into office who would enact any sort of monetary reform, Debt based currency also requires an ever expanding(consuming) economy to function, Without expansion, interest at least systemically cannot be paid. Ever increasing worldwide GDP on a finite planet = FAIL anyhow. Your a true hero, keep up the great work.
I'm not really happy with this Secret of Oz monetary history. Go read Rothbard's History of Money and Banking in the USA if you want to understand US banking history. For that matter read anything Rothbard wrote.
We are in this mess not just because of debt alone. Some people can control their spending and put debt under control. The major cause of our current recessions are the irresponsible big corporate business owner like Goldman Sachs and bank manager at Country Wide that got too greedy with putting more money in their own pocket that they don't care about anyone else. Let be realist, they only way to get rid of debt is to get rid of money and get back to bartering, grow your own food in 900 year
This was an amazing documentary that made so much sense. Thank you, Bill. You are arming us with knowledge, and knowledge is power.

@Derugug2: You need to pay closer attention to the video. Printing money is only useful when the money is used to expand PRODUCTION (manufacturing). Zimbabwe did not use the money to expand its manufacturing base.
If you want to understand when printing money is good/bad, study the basic Macro-Economic formula MV=PQ

@Derukugi2 - govt. printing money is not the solution to all problems.
1) govt. needs to print the money so as not to owe a debt to an outside third party, such as a private central bank like the fed.
2) controls must be in place to prevent printing too much of the money, which creates inflation.
easier said than done but a much more manageable, accountable and controllable situation than the fraud we have right now with the fed.

Wait wait wait wait. This is wrong. Rome wasn't prosperous solely because it didn't use a gold or silver standard for its currency... it was prosperous because they had slaves do EVERYTHING. They worked on virtually all major construction projects.
And see, the great thing about slavery is that you dont have to pay them. :P
I'm not saying this video doesn't have good ideas, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. This video needs to acknowledge two key parts of Rome's success: slavery, and war.

The Fed Res is the Governments credit card, cut it up and the road

in Lord of the Rings our President and Legislators are lusting after
the CARD because he who holds it can do whatever he wants. Cut
it up and the money in circulation right now will begin to gain value
simply because it is a finite sum. Next up fractional reserve banking,
change that and the road gets smoother. See it looks better already.

At around 8:25, the statement "you can't borrow your way out of debt" was issued multiple times. But consider this example. Say you're behind to the house 10:1 in Blackjack and you now owe them a lot of money. If you are allowed to continually double down, eventually you'll get a winning hand and problem solved. But clearly breaking even is no fun. So what if you pay yourself huge bonuses during the game for being the awesome player that you clearly are?

@bstill3 Mr. Still, Do you support a tax on individual income? I know you have stated that you arent as interested in tax reform as monetary reform, however i think the two issues are intertwined insomuch as an income tax is a direct violation of the Constitution because it inhibits mans right to own what hes earned. I say this because with a non transparent high interest lender, (FED) our tax dollars are easy fodder for black budget slush funds. I am new to this and am trying to keep it basic

@greatmackattack i've taken this idea of monetary reform to heart, and I think it would work well with a tax shift... away from taxes on labor and trade, and move toward privileges over the commons (land, severance and pollution taxes) which don't violate anyone's rights. It's something to consider, and also resolves the demand issue for currency.

Nellie Connally distincly recalled 3 separate shots. I have a Mod. 38 identical to LHO's weapon with identical scope and mount. I made the shot several times (in time) with ease and I'm half blind.
