The Money Masters

An eye opener.A must watch if you are interested in understanding money .

If you like James Corbet's documentary on the same subject, I think this is a more in-depth examination of the the history and an underground epic that shouldnt be missed.

You should always do you own research and search widely. But I found this film to be solid as a rock and with pure intentions.

Yes the film is old-school.. Probably distributed on VHS back in the day .. But like the Yuri Besmenov lectures, sometimes its more powerful to watch people talk from the past and predict the future because it proves they are right and credible.

This would be a great double feature with a Yuri Besmenov lecture.

This is a lengthy documentary that traces the history of the money changers from the Roman Empire pre-Christ to the Federal Reserve.

If the word conspiracy runs through it, it is with good reason; thirty and definitely fifty years ago the contents of this film would have been dismissed as conspiracy theories, fantasy, or worse. Now thanks primarily to the Internet vast tranches of the public the world over have woken up to the racket of the money changers, or the banksters as they are usually known.

This film does not make the mistake so beloved of Libertarians, calling for a return to the gold standard. It recognises rightly that there is absolutely nothing wrong with fiat money, and that the value of money is purely psychological.

Having said that, there are one or two things here that are questionable at best; there is that infamous Rothschild quote for one; has anyone ever come up with a contemporary citation for that? And did that infamous bank circular really say what is claimed here, in fact did it ever exist?

There is a lot about the Jekyl Island plot and related matters that will be familiar to anyone who has read the standard works like "None Dare Call It Conspiracy" and its precursors, including of course Professor Quigley's massive study "Tragedy & Hope". In fact, presenter William T. Still quotes directly from Gary Allen and like-minded authors.

You don't have to swallow all the conspiriology in this film, but if you approach it with an open mind it will confirm what most ordinary people and even those who have a vested interest in helping prop up the current corrupt debt-based money system are coming to suspect, that there are two governments, the one that ostensibly rules, us, and the invisible government of finance – to paraphrase Dan Smoot.

Towards the end of the film, Still proposes a simple solution to our current malaise, the one mooted by Milton Friedman, who died ten years after it was released. Although Still argues from an American perspective, it is clear he means for the rest of the world to follow suit. He also visits Guernsey; you might like to check out "The Guernsey Experiment" for yourself.

Although dated 1996, this video appears to have been updated in 2005. The past few years have seen not only a greater awareness of the money issue but the emergence of digital currencies, which although far from the panacea their proponents claim them to be are something else for the banksters to worry about.

Although the presenter's voice tends to drone a bit, this is a film that was motivated by pure idealism; it has also inspired many others, so there may be hope for us yet.

Earlier reviews of this film attack it for not being 'entertaining'.

This documentary doesn't try to be entertainment or 'infotainment'. Rather, its goals seems to be in communicating a fairly complex thesis historical observations in a lucid, easy to follow manner - in this respect it succeeds. Personally, I found 'The Money Masters' a pretty fascinating watch. It threaded and provided context on aspects relating to the fed, and economics, historical ambitions for one world government and so on in a way I haven't seen elsewhere. Through it discusses notion of historical conspiracy, this film is far from a 'fringe' looney conspiracy documentary.

Highly recommend watching, made even more interesting given all that has occurred in America since its release in 1996...

I have an exam on economics tomorrow and after studying I still felt unsatisfied.

This documentary is extraordinary for showing you why educating yourself ( in the area of economics in this case ) is more important than about anything else.

I'm sincere...and I appreciate how the rawness of this video makes it stick to the point.

The history of economics...a true and enlightening one.

It's worth watching more times to digest all the particular events and notions.
