A must watch documentary concerning the current global monetary system! Especially, if you live in or come from the ‘third world’ like me, this is something you shouldn’t miss whether you think it’s just a conspiracy theory or you find important points in it that truly reflect what is happening in the world today. Questions raised include: What is the meaning of globalization from the viewpoint of corporations? How come world’s richest 1% own 40% of all wealth? How do Western governments, especially the US, twist the arms of most foreign governments without openly declaring war? Who are economic hit men, what do they do to corrupt or coerce foreign leaders, and what additional steps are taken when they fail their mission? Why are some countries heavily indebted? Does the federal reserve control the federal government of the United States? What is money? Is the current global economic system a modern form of slavery; is there an alternative to it? What would a global system without money, politics, or religion be like? If all can agree that the US is an empire, who is its invisible emperor? Is true democracy possible in a monetary-based economy? Is the US really a democracy, are Americans really free; if they are not, what has gone wrong, who are their invisible dictators? How do politicians and the corporate media manipulate or deceive the public? What will it take to change this corrupt system? Are humans inherently selfish or altruistic? Etc.
A man talking to someone (wife? girlfriend? daughter? sister? friend?) on the phone: ‘honey, don’t work too hard, work smart.’ That reminds me of the Rich Dad Poor Dad motto: make money work for you, don’t work for money.
