in 2010. Essentially the same as the Money Masters, with less details, and a better-quality video. Exposes that the financial
sector of our economy as the shadow government dictating global policies, the force behind globalizations, global and local

8. Depression, the spiral downward
The Fall 2007-2010 crash. Economic depression exists when the GDP shrinks significantly, now called a recession, what
will the call the 2020 crash? The numbers are cooked because they included the profits of the parasitic financial sector.
The standard of lives overall is declining, while productivity of labor increases. Workers produce more and get less. The
main causes of the last-3 economic crashes (1981, 2007, & 2020) are the need to inflate the casino economy by increasing
government debt, which is used by the financial sector—their holdings in gov debt as the fractional assets for the
issue of fiat currency. One dollar in T-bill permits 10 dollars of fiat currency (that ratio isn’t enforced &
repealed for the 12 Federal Reserve Banks). The expansion of shadow banking to over 1,000 trillion in debt obligations needs
a steady increase in debt base assets to inflate the market. “Since 1854, the U.S. has encountered 32 cycles of
expansions and contractions, with an average of 17 months of contraction and 38 months of expansion” (Wikipedia,
Recession, Nov 2021. Watch above The Secret of Oz to get a glimpse of the power of control the currency of a nation, done
for the goal of every increasing profits. Using real economy (productivity) the income of the bottom 90% has declined.
A depression is an economic contraction real economy, a recession is a significant decline, but not below zero.

collapse is much greater. We have a Hoover, with the 2 parties not willing to put the money in the hands of the consumers.
The banks want most of the stimulus package as they got in 2008. Without organized pressure we will likely get a Mussolini
fix. Maybe the banks will, as they did for Muslin and Hitler, bail us out in 2 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14zbZvXogoM

9. Dumb Down of US Education, the Remake
As George Carlin said; The ruling class wants us to be dumb enough to put a nut on a bolt in the assembly line, and vote

The Powel Memorandum written in 1971 as a blueprint for how to defuse the mass uprising of the students in the 60s and
70s which found wide support. It was a movement to build a just society, and therefor sought to change the existing power
structure so as to place the well-being of the masses first—and idea championed by Jeremy Bentham, see utilitarianism.
It supported managed capitalism and opposed US imperialism.

In # 19 there is a North Korea documentary carried by the national broadcast corporation of Germany (DW). Learn about
how a government can work the social drive to build a one dimensional society with strong bonding, a happy family, and at
the same time learn about how grossly our media has lied about North Korea. Sadly, our capitalism uses the same techniques
to shatter the drive for a community, and this extends to the work place—the best eight hours of the day, in what
had and still should be called wage slavery.

of the euro or dollar. There were 2 conferences attended by leaders of African and Arab countries. Second. he is a socialist
(wrote the green book). Third was that he was a populist that put the quality of life of his people. The US has overthrown

most destructive was WW II in which more Russian were killed than all the others in that war. The decision with East Germany
and the dissolving of the Soviet Union was an agreement of no further eastern expansion of NATO. That 1991 agreement with
Russia has been shredded. The agreement is proven by documents. It was hoped that NATO too would be dissolved, instead the
original 12 countries of NATO were expanded to 29 nations, provoked the war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzgPJeYZaOU .

al promise with the collapse of USSR, NATO will not go east. There were 2 positions, one of containment, the other of cooperation,
containment won out. Signs of the first—Paul Wolfowitz document. Putin tried to join NATO and the EU but was rebuffed
in 2000. Second was a promise of major financial aid. Third was the bombing of Yugoslavia and the splitting off of Kosovar,
and forth was Poland, Hungry, and Czechoslovak joining NATO and EU. Fifth was Putin agreed to help fight terrorism, and allowed
US to go into Afghanistan—no response. This change to a hard position by Putin; goes well with the following by

100-pound chimp for being the aggressor. Russia is rebuffing an EU & US move to put NATO with its atomic weapon in the
Ukraine. Russia considers this an extensional threat similar to the USSR putting missiles in CUBA. There were clear warnings
that Russia would again invade the Ukraine, as it did in 2008 for George and in 2014 for Crimea. Ukraine was becoming a de

The above lectures and related counter the US propaganda building support for a protracted Ukraine war with the involvement
of NATO. NATO nations have stepped up supplying weapons to the Ukraine, and Russia as of 4/13, is likely to bomb the shipments—like
Germany did with submarines. The US war supplies sent to England violated neutrality. The Lusitania, a passenger ship out
of Boston was carrying tons of arms. It sunk in 18 minutes off the coast of Ireland—blew up from the inside cargo
of explosives when torpedoed, on May 7th 1915. The war cargo was not mentioned, and the press used event to promote the planned
entering of WW I a year later. The German embassy knowing of the cargo, attempted to publish a warning in the Boston Globe,
but couldn’t. The destroyer escort off Ireland for the ship oddly failed to occur. Is our press now preparing
us for a World War III?
Note on John J. Mearsheimer: He swallows the claim that the US wants to spread the US model of democracy and human rights.
Yet like global warming, it is a distraction, the goal is that the banks will own everything, and every nation will be caught
in the debt trap, not just the impoverished nations. The record of supporting fascist governments such as Pinochet, Saudi,
Sukarno of Indonesia and a dozen more since WW II reveals goal first ethics. Moreover the banking-financial system is above
governments. The hand that prints the money is above those the nations that cell their debt bonds. The evidence thereon
is in the is in my book Banksters, & Politics: past, present, & future to be published by 2023.

competed with democratic businesses and got from the west their technology, China’s workers pay has increased 300-400%

The three shows on Korea; they show a parallel to the Dark Ages when people loved their Church and worshiped it. Today
the masses of Koreans love their glorious leader, his son, and grandson in a pattern that repeats that of the Dark Ages, only
as the film shows the people are far-more-happier and unified than any other nation. The spirit of the people is captured
in the German national documentary filmed 2019; it contrasts the 2014. The heavy hand exacting loyalty is another example
of government power suppressing criticism with the support of the “good citizens,” and there are many
in history from the communist hunts in the US, religious laws in Europe, the Arab nations bonding to a religion. There is
an ugly side to human nature, and Korea blends both love of neighbor with hate for opposition—one more example of
many.

Hyperinflation is already here—you haven’t realized it yet, 19 min 2.1 M in 3 months, Economics explained,
Quality video but misses the reason we don’t have hyperinflammation, bout 80% of the fiat currency is in the banks’

Price go up when affiliates start buy up and industry such as mortuaries, community hospitals, and in 2021 buying up housing,
and stock purchases kept the market up. These are items not used to measure inflation. More mis direction by a system that

al promise with the collapse of USSR, NATO will not go east. There were 2 positions, one of containment, the other of cooperation,
containment won out. Signs of the first—Paul Wolfowitz document. Putin tried to join NATO and the EU but was rebuffed
in 2000. Second was a promise of major financial aid. Third was the bombing of Yugoslavia and the splitting off of Kosovar,
and forth was Poland, Hungry, and Czechoslovak joining NATO and EU. Fifth was Putin agreed to help fight terrorism, and allowed
US to go into Afghanistan—no response. This change to a hard position by Putin; goes well with the following by
