Recently found that pretty neat cartoon, which does quite a decent job at explaining the underlying of the banking and monetary systems and practices at the root of the current crisis.

While of course some elements were simplified, depiction of historical events and mechanisms underlying monetary systems and banking practices is surprisingly accurate, and coincide well with the un-publicised analysis of several high profile economists, such as Economy Nobel Prize Winner Maurice Allais.
Additionally, while it is not mentioned in the cartoon, and only briefly in the website, these mechanisms are far from being restricted to Central Banks: same goes for international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund or IMF, the World Bank, and the Central Bank of Central Banks (namely the Bank for International Settlements or BIS), haven't check.

© 2010 The Provocateur Network. [FAIR USE NOTICE] The AMERICAN DREAM is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you've been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system. All of us Americans strive for the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away. Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day? THE AMERICAN DREAM takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today. You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track. |
