condotown Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 nat geo dull? bbc dull? how dull? i mean i'm not expecting 'fog of war' here... you think it's worth watching as a movie? WATCH IT!!!!!!!! dammit If for nothing else, the interspersed quotes by famous men are profound!!! So do you believe what the critics say about movies, or do you think for yourself and watch it? This documentary will help you understand why a few hundred families or individuals in every country or geographic entity control almost everything.

Slurms Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 This documentary will help you understand why a few hundred families or individuals in every country or geographic entity control almost everything. That's not the focus at all !!! It doesn't make any great claims , it's just informative about the actual way money works . The truth really is far wierder than fiction in this case . But that (regarding the mass power certain bankers could potentially wield) is a conclusion one could come to , after watching it however .

CiaranM Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 This is the closest I have gotten to a personal attack but it isn't..

STFU. you may say your piece but i am under no obligation to heed your "order" to STFU. why is this no big surprise !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slurms Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Here's a thought.Does this make Bill Gates the world's second largest debtor? And if so, does all that "wealth" he's donating to the third world mean that he's just contributing to third world debt?!?!??? And that I'm richer than him because I have no money!?!?!??!???? Bloody hell the implications are mind boggling! Hmmmmmm ....only in the semantic sense . What it really means is that all money that exists is a loan on a loan (on a loan etc ) ..for there to be more money printed it has to be because there was more money loaned...everytime money is loaned there is interest to pay to the private banking sector ...everytime there is interest paid to the private banking sector in order for an economy to grow it needs too keep taking loans to pay back the loans and the interest.......and so the it snowballs (it;s nicely illustrated in the documentary) In effect if everyone paid back all the money they had loaned you'd think the world would be richer ? Nope , this isn't how it works...how much money would there be if everyone paid back their loans ? The answer of course is that there would be NO money AT ALL . Sound complicated ? It's not...watch the documentary . The irony is that this system is obvious going to eventually collapse . The environment can't take on the weight of more loans and the increasing increasing interest . But the real irony is that the central banks 9(like the federal bank are not government institutes ! They are private institutes that were supposively set up to protect the smaller banks from everyone calling in their loans at the same time...this is where it gets really interesting ...the end result is huge unnecessary amounts of interest payments are burdened on the tax payer (in America 33% of your taxes goes to paying back the interests on loans) for ...believe it or not....no good reason at all.....the money could just be printed interest free and to avoid the effects of inflation regulated through fiscal policy ... that's putting it very simply and the argument is layered out in step by step detail , giving the context of how this came to pass...don't be put off by jargon....it has none...it's simple and cute and your jaw will drop ...

condotown Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 how many people are debt free ? anyone here just curious to know This really isn't an indication of anything as most beggars on the street are debt free. That's what all the G8 leaders talk about when they want to end poverty... Replace it with debt to turn the poor and beggars into slaves. I am debt free as well, but not a beggar.

GoldMember Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 no money no honey, someone said that. I think you've got the idea Cherry. does that mean i don't need to watch the documentary now !!!!!! No it doesn't. You should watch it. Even just to get an idea of what tangible asset Cherry is alluding to, which would see her through should the monetary system collapse and we all have to exchange whatever we left have to survive. Or to obtain a bigger, flatter telly. Or get your old cathode ray tv and get an elephant to sit on it.No need to spend $1000s when you can do a perfectly decent DIY job for a few sticks of sugar cane.
