    • Hey Sean, this is a great film for opening people's minds. I'm not sure how I feel about all of his claims. I've watched the film twice now, the first time was over the summer and the...

    KJDYATTA, this is an excellent summary of what's going on right now. We have a system built on deception and a media that seeks to deceive us about that deception. You're right to say that we're not free.

    You are very right. It is evident that too few banks hold and control most of the money that American's possess. This is a monopoly on our nation's wealth and a very bad situation for all of us to be in. Whether it was greed or a coordinated effort to humble Americans, this predicament is a direct cause of the current state of the economy. Its amazing how right Jefferson was all those years ago in the early days of the United States.

    Also look at honorable man like Abraham Lincoln who fought the fed and also Andrew Jackson who "killed the bank". It is inspiring to understand what they did to help break these people down. Without debt money can not be created by these bankers but with the consent and the good credit of americans paper money can work as long as it does not bear debt and interest in its usage.

    I like it. Every state should have their own bank again. Interstate commerce should always involve the swapping of different types of currency. Moving would be so easy. You just have to sit on the state border and hope people would swap your NY money for their CT money. And if you couldn't, well, you can't move.
