The Biggest Scam In The History Of Mankind

I agree with Gatherix, however I think videos like this are purposely biased in order to highlight the extreme opposite of all that has been taught so far. There's a lot the general public don't know/aren't supposed to know about things like monetary systems and politics and the associated propaganda put forth by institutions behind these things makes it hard to truly understand. That's why I think videos like the ones in this thread are made by people, knowingly being a little biased, in order for people to understand and to question such things.

Agreed, but I think those uneducated in or completely oblivious to such material are incredibly susceptible to biased information. At that point they tend to believe whichever appeals most to current issues and herd mentality (not to start another debate, but *cough cough* Tea Party anyone? *cough cough*). This video appeals to current fear of government debt and economic meltdown; I'd argue that it's purpose is for the producer to make profit, not for public awareness.

Maybe the most dangerous people are those the like us, who think we understand what's going on and thus think we're being 'fair' in our judgements. As an American that's, unfortunately, a characteristic I likely have.

Oh well. 'MERICA.

I'm going to try and be serious here, and say that I can completely agree with Buck. The person behind the video can manipulate you to believing whatever bullshit spurrs their minds. It's all about perspective and the context something's put in. In this case, it's a mistaken theory, dressed up in a well-made video, used to pump your mind full of shit, and then act like there's some secret behind it all, but in reality, nobody, including the government, is smart enough to keep secrets, seeing as all of them get leaked or found out. So, just from what I've seen in this thread, there's not "secret", only America trying to have some kind of non-existant layer.

The notion that it's a 'secret', that the government is actively trying to hide the economic system of the US, is part of the video's propaganda. The whole 'you didn't know this because someone doesn't want you to' is a pretty common tactic.

I completely agree. It's just one of those things where people take something you already know, form it into a prolongued presentation with complex innuendos and inferences, to make it seem like you don't get it, with intentions to gain attention to their failing Youtube channel. It's just another thing for people to get hung up over and not notice it's the same goddamn thing every single day.
