Alright. I can safely say that that video is a load of bullshit. I'll respond to it point by point.
Point #1: Revolution by Currency Ban
I've never heard of this before this video. I've read books on Ben Franklin, listened to three different PSP's on him (Preformance Standards Project -- Texas AP required project. Essentially, its a 15-minute oral report on a person), and have never heard that quote before. Do I think that this didn't happen? No, it is entirely possible.
However, the historians who write the book, for some reason, choose to look over this fact and instead focus on taxation without representation.
Point #2: Inflation Causes Debt
Well no shit, sherlock! This is an inherent flaw of ALL credit based money systems. People will fall into debt because they're using to much credit (overspending) and they exceed the amount that they've recieved. Of course, credit based systems needs to be fixed.
It's a flaw of people, not of the government. NEXT!
Also, a big fat WHAT THE FUCK at him saying that this will equate to slavery. It will only equate to debtors, and eventually, prisoners.
Point #3: Top Seekrit Meeting
Source? I doubt that this went on. The person who created this video needs to site his source here.
In other words, Zeitgeist is bullshit. Don't make this a source again. Don't reference this again. Don't even utter the name again. A college student can not and will not ever figure out some giant government conspiracy.
I thought I wouldn't have to worry about it here, but from here on out, anybody who uses Zeitgeist as a source will be reported to Ducki. This means I will be asking her to ban you from this board.
tl;dr
Zeitgeist is bad.
Locked.
