and How It Functions

*****There is no free press under
capitalism by Lucretia Report, 11 minutes. The scandal orchestrated by the right-wing
party leader of Austrian who through fake polls and news the party won the
election and he became Prime Minister.
This method of operation is common, examples given, the conclusion is
that the capitalist media has an agenda of profits first. Using advertising
techniques they seduce the
majority of the populace to vote for the corporatist parties, take drugs, buy
cars, drink beer, go to war, support globalization, the corporate honor system
neoconservatism, etc. Welcome to 1984
Orwellian mature capitalism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWJFwJzKGbs

*****Why
China will be the Big Winner of the 2020 Crisis 17 min, Economics Explained, covers
middle-income trap with wages and not being the cheapest. China offers finish
product, factories, and
simplified tariffs vs using multiple part sources. Second following west economic
imperialism, China
is with the Belt Road offering infrastructure building undercutting west deals,
and when default instead of IMF sanctions, China takes back the port, dam
(water electricity), etc. This gives
China a strong global market for resources and export. Their 4 gov banks are
biggest in the world, they assures funds for the Silk Road loans and weather
COVID crises. Critical of media on
China, logic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b07eafPe7pY EXCELLENT

World Bank are Weapons of War, 52 min, 250,000 views, John Pilger (BBC
documentary), explains economic imperials that burden 3rd world nations with
loans whose interest payments suck up dry the economy. They then crash the economy,
buy the nations
assets at fire-sale prices, and make more loans after forcing the nation to
install austerity programs that close hospitals to ensure that the nation can
continue paying interest on all its loans.
In the Philippines 44% of gov. expenses go as interest payments (in US

3. Banking’s Economics,
Fiat Currency and History
Four common errors, 1)
when money flows into a bank from loans (including from the central bank) or
from deposits, it is used as an asset to meet their requirement for assets, and
then loaned out at least 10-fold greater amount—fractional reserve. 2)
the GDP’s service sector includes the
parasitic financial sector, which has grown from 5% of service to over 60% and
healthcare is an additional 20%. 3) most
of the loans goes to affiliates such as Blackrock which the banks own. 4) one
of main investments is in stocks which
allows the affiliates to control most of the corporations without exposing the
role of the banks and its profits.
***** The secret of Oz 117 minutes, over 1
million views 2010, narrated and written by Bill Stills, winner of best
documentary in 2010. Essentially the
same as the Money Masters, with less details, and a better-quality video. Exposes
that the financial sector of our
economy as the shadow government dictating global policies, the force behind
globalizations, global and local economic crashes, and most wars. The power
to crash an economy by tightening
credit is the club. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjGyjUfDoN4&t=1492s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swkq2E8mswI

gov. is through the

Excellent Wolf skips shadow banking, the
profits made by banking, and they’re the power above government
***** The Money Masters 217 min,
seen by 10s of millions, 1995, Bill Stills, a Libertarian account of the
banking system. I have spent hours
confirming the suspect points of the film.
It was carried on independent PBS station in 2002 and in 2008. Strong
on history and education, it shows how
the financial system functions to maximize profits, while pretending to provide
essential services, and in so doing controls the economy. The federal banks
have the power to crash an
economy through controlling the demand for federal debt obligations (mostly
T-bills), this entails that they are above control. The solution is to go from
a debt-based
currency (debt to national banks and member banks) to a fiat currency issued by
government and free of interest payments.
Currently over $800 billion per year is paid on interest by the US
government, plus a similar amount by states and local governments, and again by
businesses and citizens. Over 50% of GDP consists of the financial sector. The
film covers consequences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t0CkzD-Bv8. Notes on film at http://www.skeptically.org/bhe/id3.html.

Money as Debt, 42 min, 499,000 views, clearly

How The Federal Reserve Works (and Who Really Owns
it) 10 Min Business Casual, the history of national banking, the events leading
up to the 1913 passage establishing the Federal Reserve Banks (12
regionals). It is very accurate

Depression, the spiral downward
The Fall 2007-2010 crash. Economic depression exists when the GDP
shrinks significantly, now called a recession, what will the call the 2020
crash? The numbers are cooked because
they included the profits of the parasitic financial sector. The standard of
lives overall is declining,
while productivity of labor increases.
Workers produce more and get less.
The main causes of the last-3 economic crashes (1981, 2007, & 2020) are
the need to inflate the casino economy by increasing government debt, which is
used by the financial sector—their holdings in gov debt as the fractional
assets for the issue of fiat currency.
One dollar in T-bill permits 10 dollars of fiat currency (that ratio
isn’t enforced & repealed for the 12 Federal Reserve Banks). The expansion
of shadow banking to over 1,000
trillion in debt obligations needs a steady increase in debt base assets to
inflate the market. “Since 1854, the
U.S. has encountered 32 cycles of expansions and contractions, with an average
of 17 months of contraction and 38 months of expansion” (Wikipedia, Recession,

The
above lectures and related counter the US propaganda building support for a
protracted Ukraine war with the involvement of NATO. NATO nations have stepped
up supplying
weapons to the Ukraine, and Russia as of 4/13, is likely to bomb the
shipments—like Germany did with submarines. The US war supplies sent to England
violated neutrality. The Lusitania, a
passenger ship out of Boston was carrying tons of arms. It sunk in 18 minutes
off the coast of
Ireland—blew up from the inside cargo of explosives when torpedoed, on May 7th
1915. The war cargo was not mentioned,
and the press used event to promote the planned entering of WW I a year later. The
German embassy knowing of the cargo,
attempted to publish a warning in the Boston Globe, but couldn’t. The
destroyer escort off Ireland for the ship
oddly failed to occur. Is our
press now preparing us for a World War III?
Note
on John J. Mearsheimer: He swallows the
claim that the US wants to spread the US model of democracy and human rights. Yet
like global warming, it is a distraction,
the goal is that the banks will own everything, and every nation will be caught
in the debt trap, not just the impoverished nations. The record of supporting
fascist governments
such as Pinochet, Saudi, Sukarno of Indonesia and a dozen more since WW II
reveals goal first ethics. Moreover the
banking-financial system is above governments.
The hand that prints the money is above those the nations that cell
their debt bonds. The evidence thereon
is in the is in my book Banksters,
& Politics: past, present, & future to be published

socialism are worse than capitalism based on the Soviet & East German

Church and worshiped. Today the masses
of Koreans love their glorious leader, his son, and grandson in a pattern that
repeats that of the Dark Ages, only as the film shows the people are
far-more-happier and unified. The spirit
of the people is captured in the German national documentary filmed 2019; it contrasts
the 2014. The heavy hand exacting
loyalty is another example of government power suppressing criticism with the
support of the “good citizens,” and there are many in history from the
communist hunts in the US, religious laws in Europe, the Arab nations bonding to
a religion. There is an ugly side to
human nature, and Korea blends both love of neighbor with hate for
opposition—one more example of many.

go east. There were 2 positions, one of
containment, the other of cooperation, containment won out. Signs of the first—Paul
Wolfowitz document. Putin tried to join NATO and the EU but was
rebuffed in 2000. Second was a promise
of major financial aid. Third was the
bombing of Yugoslavia and the splitting off of Kosovar, and forth was Poland,
Hungry, and Czechoslovak joining NATO and EU.
Fifth was Putin agreed to help fight terrorism, and allowed US to go

Russia considers this an extensional threat similar to the USSR putting

Statement
by Herman Goring in prison, just prior to his suicide:
Naturally
the common people don’t want war, neither in England, Russia, or for that matter
Germany. That is understood, but after all it is the leaders of the country
[and shadow government, banksters] of the country that decide and it is always
easy to drag the people along whether it is a democracy, fascist dictatorship,
or communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice the people can always be brought
to the bidding of the leaders that is easy!
All you got to do is to tell them they are being attacked and denounce the
peace makers for a lack of patriotism and exposing the country to dangers. It
works the same in any country
