In 1965, French President DeGaulle called for a return to the Gold Standard-- in his speech, he announced that the US plan enabled them to have enormous debts, and would lead to a collapse of the worldwide currency and a second Great Depression.

  • Thanks for a great upload!

    A summary of what DeGaulle said: The U.S. Dollar sooner or later will crash because it is not attached to gold and therefore will be misused by the politicians and the FED who will create immense debt - which we all have to carry in one way or another. And since the Dollar is the world currency it will eventually bring down all other countries aswell. As the U.S. dollar goes, so goes the world. The remedy: currencies attached to gold.

  • @TWSceptic The difference between Christian charity and socialism is in charity you are not forced to give, wheareas in socialism you are,.

  • @tjtomkins I agree with the first part of your reply. But Jesus a capitalist? Don't think so. Sell everything you got and live with as little as possible, nothing to do with capitalism. About not using force yes, but that can be liberal too.

  • @TWSceptic

    I'd claim otherwise

    What most countries have is a socialist-corporatist system, NOT capitalism, media & govt just calls it capitalism as it'd been more palatable. Free market capitalism is about every person having right to their life, liberty & property & the principle of non-coercion & since Jesus was all about non-coercion, he could be considereda capitalist since socialism, communism, corporatism, etc all involve USE OF FORCE against others' wishes

  • I am italian and I need to say thank you to put subtitle in my language. I really appreciate this and I will share this content in my country, please continue upload videos (translated) :)

  • @UponInfinity Because after DeGaulle, President Pompidou (ex Rothchilds bank boss) with the complicity of Valéry Giscard D'estaing (in those days, Finances Minister) introduced fiat currency. The Bank of France was no longer creating money at 0% rate and then started the nightmare. Needless to say that after we gave up the french franc for the euro currency, some goods like potatoes rapidly inflated around 1000%

  • Not a bad speech, but what was stopping him from putting the French Franc on a gold standard? Switzerland didn't go off it until 2000.

  • @TWSceptic My religion says, I care about myself and my family! And I do not care anything about the government!

  • @TWSceptic

    i'm also not religious but i do know that the only time Jesus showed anger was when he found out about the 'money changers'. Islam also warns Muslims about paper money.

    however most Muslims and Christians are not taught these facts.

  • @hyylo Well I'm not religious, but I believe in the case of Jesus he just didn't like capitalism and wanted people to only care about love, peace, caring for each other etc... he did say to sell *all* your belongings. But yeah, paper money is simply too tempting to government to abuse and it's always the people who pay in the end and get screwed. I personally hate cash, I always use cards and if they could link that to actual gold & silver reserves, that could be a great solution I think.

  • @TWSceptic

    its the only method that will work because it allows the people to choose what method of payment to use. in the past people used gold but as gold became more expensive people moved to silver and other things. in the UK they used wooden sticks which had patterns in them.

    paper money gives control to those that print it.

    religion talks about money. islam tells muslims not to allow a few people to control the money. jesus was also angry when he found out about money printing.
