What a boring introduction based on obvious facts.

Still watching the movie. Gonna post later.

EDIT: Just wow, about religion I know it was all a fake, but a needed fake to control everybody. Now all that evidence is WOW! Same about 9/11.

This was probably the best 2 hrs of my time spent in a long time, especially considering the financial crisis we are going through today. I highly recommend everyone watch this, both the first movie and the second. Also check out the movie end game on youtube, these have been very eye opening as to whats really going on today, and based on facts not opinion. I kind of wish that religion was left out of the first movie as I'm sure that will make some people tune out right away ignoring the more important topics that came after that segment, which in my opinion are far more important.

That's exactly the problem. Maybe you start to care who is in charge now that US is in trouble with their economy, which I consider not a problem since fixing these problems are as easy as fixing a game server. It's better preventing than repairing, this video ignores completely the climatic change, and of course these "conspiracy guys" don't care since they already bought lakes and areas where the global warming is not going to affect that much. But the rest of the population is going to go into chaos just for water, while they hold big lakes and rivers in mountains.

I finished watching this movie yesterday. I think they skipped lot of true facts and I am going to e-mail these forgotten/skipped stuff to them.

Please email the US government and tell them how to fix the game server :wink:

While I agree the climate issues are important, I firmly believe that the corpacracy that ultimately runs the US government for profit is a bigger problem. Also this movie gave me a much better understanding of how the financial system works going back as far as when the first dollar was created, (I always thought the dollar was backed by gold or some other form of real value and not printed out of thin air). Also disturbing was the fact that debt was built into the system, debt which can NEVER be repaid. This financial system really is a well developed pyramid scheme and like all pyramid schemes it will ultimately fail.

It used to be, but I guess you know that now. Rampant inflation is the result of governements that solve their problems by printing new money.

Now i'm just going by what we are learning in government currently.

The national debt can be repaid. We were in debt in the 80's then Clinton brought us out of the debt. I read that in every 10 dollars of tax money; one dollar is used to pay the debt. We were actually profiting from the tax money.

I also don't believe that they print the money out of air to solve the problem. This results in even more inflation.

Hehe, who knows what they are planning to do... it's very easy to fix a virtual-economy issue. But someone might be behind this, like first bank's fake bankrupt to profit others banks :)

About debt, my country and rest of South America is slaved by debt. As you just said, you can't repaid debt. Debt continue going bigger and bigger, it all started with British constructing docks and trains, and then they exploited all natural resources and gone with/out paying workers and government, but we are those who owes the money to them for bulding the abandoned docks and trains. While US began The Marshall Plan to rebuild Germany and the rest of Europe so later it would be their market (a very big demand for US products) by giving them credits with no interests, they gave us "credits" with a LOT of debt and interests. As the movie explains, only a few got profits about this "credits", not the total population of South America.

Now probably you'll understand why does most of people hate the US and UK.
