"Zeitgeist" and "Money Masters"

Hi,

I have watched these two videos and am very intrigued by the later part of Zeitgeist and all of Money Masters. This to me is even bigger news than peak oil!

I am wondering if anyone has any book recommendations that deal with topics such as fractional banking, the fed and international bankers; that are not crazy conspiracy theories but also acknowledge the fact that there actually is a conspiracy going on.

In other words, a solid book that would give me more insight into these phenomena.

Thanks

The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve

There's another video you can search for I remember called Fiat Empire. Will second The Creature from Jeckyll Island book as a great book for the topic!

Can search back through my posts for some detailed diagrams of how money is created. I work in international banking and it took me a few months of research to fully understand and conceptualize the process. It's not an easy topic to research because there's so much misleading information to dig through.

There are quite a few tangents of this subject too which lead to a greater overall understanding of what's going on. Can search for guys like Michael Ruppert, Michael Tsarion, Jordan Maxwell and Stewart Swerdlow. Even Alex Jones has a good video or two. Just a fyi, it's a bit shocking how far out this stuff can get. You will have appeared to have lost your mind to most people when you get in the deep end!

Two good books on the NWO perspective 'The Syndicate' and 'The Unseen hand'. It is an interesting ideas but it is mainly right wing paranoia.

Thanks for the links and advice to everyone, I have ordered "Web of deceit" as its up to date, published in 2007. I will also check out all the videos.

Its funny, three years ago, when I discovered peak oil, my world view came crashing down. Now having discovered this topic, I am almost going through the same swing-set of emotions, but to a lesser extent. There is also a bit of "Why am I not surprised..." that underlies them.

I did an economics degree which I never finished due to various reasons. But, while doing it I always suspected there was something not quite right there. Like an issue was being skirted around. But I cant say what it is... I should've paid more attention.

I wonder how accurate are the economic theories being taught in universities? I recently spoke to an American undergraduate in economics who assured me that a degree of debt was a good thing, yet did not realise that the US is 9 trillion $ in debt.

But this may be off topic in this forum Smile

Anyone read "And The Truth Shall Set You Free" by David Eike?

I'm not averse to Greider's "Secret's of the Temple"; considered a fluff piece by many. It's a "guy inside the 'system'"- kind of view. One which no matter how much he may deny the conspiratorial aspects of the system's nature, he just keeps seeming to confirm it time and again as he tries to guardedly unfold the tale. I've had that book since it came out in '87 and I keep it as yardstick of sorts.

Oliveoil, you need "Web of Debt" instead of "Web of Deceit". My favorite "pop" book (as opposed to academics) on the subject though I haven't read many or widely.

A few "Dummies" books on economics, banking and investments.
Eustace Mullins' "Secrets"
Murray Rothbard's Fed work.
Greider's book.
Griffin's book.
.pdf files of Sutton's work.

This is about the extent for me except for textbooks and roundabout works e.g. Stiglitz as an academic and Perkins or Estulin as an adventurer.

I too share the fascination with this as you do.

"zeitgeist" is poo-poo ca-ca.

and I'm no believer, either.

Polemic
