97% Owned - Positive Money Cut

To join the campaign to democratise money see http://www.positivemoney.org.uk/97per...

When money drives almost all activity on the planet, it's essential that we understand it. Yet simple questions often get overlooked - questions like: where does money come from? Who creates it? Who decides how it gets used? And what does that mean for the millions of ordinary people who suffer when money and finance breaks down?

97% Owned is a new documentary that reveals how money is at the root of our current social and economic crisis. Featuring frank interviews and commentary from economists, campaigners and former bankers, it exposes the privatised, debt-based monetary system that gives banks the power to create money, shape the economy, cause crises and push house prices out of reach. Fact-based and clearly explained, in just 60 minutes it shows how the power to create money is the piece of the puzzle that economists were missing when they failed to predict the crisis.

Produced by Queuepolitely and featuring Ben Dyson of Positive Money, Josh Ryan-Collins of The New Economics Foundation, Ann Pettifor, the "HBOS Whistleblower" Paul Moore, Simon Dixon of Bank to the Future and Nick Dearden from the Jubliee Debt Campaign, this is the first documentary to tackle this issue from a UK-perspective, and can be watched online now.

Great film explaining the make up & craziness of the current system. Give it wide circulation.

[TheZeitgeistchap]

great film, many thanks to those that contributed to its production. However......as much as banks maybe responsible for huge chunks of the current economic mess, its not really their faults either. it is obviously the actual monetary system itself. OK regulate the banks, bring a full reserve banking system - whatever....the people will simply be shafted in other ways. Its the money that has to go.

Shoot. I say, let the banks print as much as they want! Just as long as we're free to choose which currency we use, it won't really matter. If we were free to choose our own money, we would be free to use actual gold and sliver on a day to day basis (like they did back in the 1800s). Or shoot, we could even use free market currencies like Litecoin or Bitcoin.

Just don't force us to use a certain one, and free people can choose which currencies they want to use!

The info is ok but soooo droll and annoying. Their voices and snotty accents just bug me for some reason. I like Icke's accent though...

[whisperatnight]

THEY ARE JUST CRIMINALS THAT NEED TO BE LOCKED UP SO THAT THEY CAN'T HURT PEOPLE AND NATIONS ANYMORE. IT WILL BE PAINFUL TO GET BACK TO HONEST MONETARY SYSTEMS, BUT IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE GOOD OF ALL. THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO STAY DEBTORS AND USELESS EATERS, THE VERY TYPES THAT THE NWO WANT TO KILL OFF SO THAT THEY CONTINUE TO SURVIVE ON EARTH. IT IS US AGAINST THEM, AND IF CONTINUED TO SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF US. WE WILL DIE, THEY WILL SURVIVE.

[FEARMANGLER]

Tell the central banks to forgive the debts of countries or lose the ability to operate in this system.They created it ,they can uncreate it. Let them take losses if need be,if not the people will distroy them physically or monitarily.
