Who is going to wake them up?
People in their millions are hypnotised
'Intellectuals' standing guards of this corrupt system.
What hope is there for the rest of us?
None I say.

The reason why the world, including the US, went from coin to paper money, was that the supply of bullion (gold or silver) could not keep up with the industrial revolution which was spewing out goods and services, and creating a population boom the likes of which the world had never previously experienced. The world pop has gone from 1 billion in 1800 to over 6.5 today in only two centuries. No way that gold or silver mining could even begin to keep pace. And so paper backed by credit backed by taxes represents the "good faith" upon which all paper money is based: faith that the economy will not totally collapse.

Wow Nick....You're a bit off. Freemasons were builders historically. Not the point though. Bankers and "money changers" figured out the gold reciept policies. Currency is printed by the fed and coins come from the mints. When money supply is low in one district the fed orders more money to be sent to that area, which is how the Fed banks maintain money supplies. The problem is they loan out FAR more then what they have, which is the reserve system. Watch Money Masters to understand the rest. I don't agree with the guy's end opinions though. If you read, check out "The Creature from Jeckyll Island" by Edward Griffen and you can further understand the system and whats wrong with it.

jess it basically go's the fed res. j.r. rockafeller date back to 1000's of years. they were originally "Freemasons". they were ligit masons they would make the weaponary for the town. but they would be the only people in town with a safe. so the idea came about when the town people asked the masons would you hold my money in your vault. the masons said fine. and they would make a receipt and they would give the person the receipt to know how much is in the vault. then they realized they could put an interest on it. then they realized they could make FAKE RECEIPTS still collecting interest from the money being given too them. and it was actually the Rothchilds who started the fed reserve. but there all family in one way or the other. so basically take that and put it into current times :)

Jessie...................Look at any paper money (American bills). At the
top it will say-----Federal Reserve Note. The FED orders the Treasury
to print the money.

After researching the Federal Reserve, I'm not sure this "documentary" is entirely accurate.
I was unable to locate anywhere that said they printed money. To my understanding, the U.S. Mint is the only organization who is authorized to print currency, and they are a division of the US Treasury Department.
