The Money Masters

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.

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.

I'm not exaggerating to say that this is the most important film that I have ever watched.

It's long and it has no Hollywood special effects, but it presents factual information that is vital for every citizen to know.

I was skeptical, but after 20 minutes of watching I was totally hooked and blown away by the truth.

The world needs to know the truth, I believe that this video should be shown to every American citizen.

I will now tell you a few things that you can find out from watching this film:

The secret truth about the US Federal Reserve.

Why the US Dollar is decreasing in value and so are your savings.

What leaders like Abe Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, and Thomas Jefferson thought about the idea of the Federal Reserve.

A well-planned way in which we can pay off the national debt in a few short years.

How to provide enough money for all citizens and remove most cases of poverty.

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 documentary is quite a long haul at over 3 and a 1/2 hours, but it is worth it.

I have never seen a more detailed account of history than this, and it paints a very frightening picture. I do not understand how so few people have heard of this.

it would be hard for even the most naive of people to shrug off these facts.

although it's a bit dated now, its all relevant and still taking place. you need to make time to watch it as soon as possible, you will not regret it.
