Here is a video that explains how our banking system "works".Its actually a pretty good video. It keeps it interesting with humor but the information is useful. check it out. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6OQzH07u0U[/ame] America needs to sort this shit out before it hits the fan.
The section of Zeitgeist dealing with the Federal Reserve is also accurate, as well. Just ignore the rest of the Documentary, lol.
I really didn't know too much about it until this video. If more people knew about this we could certainly change things.
Terrific video. It is a little one sided on some things but none the less it's central message is pretty spot on.
Very good Video. This Is A Fiat Currency, And All Fiat Currency Always Comes To An End. The Question Is, When?
This is not a video on how the fed works, its a smear video. They take a negative view from the beginning of the video. It's hard to find a neutral-standing video explaining the federal reserves duties and powers. Reading about it is more effective. If you have no idea what the federal reserve is maybe you should do some preliminary reading or research (whatever that may be) onto WHAT it is. Forming an opinion or personal theory about the fed (or anything) before learning about it is akin to choosing facts to fit theories rather than theories to fit facts. First learn, then criticize.
Maybe its a negative view because its a negative thing that's destroying our country from the inside. How is inflation good? How is printing money out of thin air with nothing backing it a good thing? How is all of the nations real money (not worthless paper notes) being controlled by a few select greedy people a good thing? Banks are only good for debt. There is no reason to put your money in a bank. Sure they pay you interest on your money in the bank, but they lend out more than they take in. Eventually its all going to crash.

The Federal Reserve is a private bank that loans money to governments and other banks to profit off the interest they collect. They are allowed to basically conjure dollars out of thin air to give out these loans. Did I miss anything? Oh yea, they've never been audited.
