The American dream
0:00:37.083,0:00:39.961
There's a reason that they called it a dream
0:00:39.961,0:00:40.791
Ah!
0:00:40.791,0:00:41.771
Who's there?
0:00:42.122,0:00:43.927
Cock-a-doddle-do Pile.
0:00:43.927,0:00:45.006
knocking
0:00:48.900,0:00:50.709
No no no no no
0:00:50.709,0:00:52.649
I don't have any more money.
0:00:52.810,0:00:55.215
My job sucks right now, please!
0:00:55.215,0:00:57.218
I'll have more money next month.
0:00:58.951,0:01:00.601
You can't take my house!
0:01:00.601,0:01:02.141
Is that your signature?
0:01:04.121,0:01:07.211
Oookay well just help me work something out, okay?
0:01:07.211,0:01:08.580
I mean you said I'm a good credit guy right?
0:01:08.580,0:01:10.140
I mean...hey, wait!
0:01:10.630,0:01:11.940
My dog is in there!
0:01:11.940,0:01:14.700
Nooo, don't take my Dream!
0:01:14.700,0:01:17.330
sobbing
0:01:18.378,0:01:20.448
Oh, how did this happen?
0:01:20.955,0:01:24.955
BOOM
0:01:24.955,0:01:25.635
Huh?
0:01:27.875,0:01:30.035
Hartman? Is that you?
0:01:30.243,0:01:32.555
Been a long time since the fourth grade.
0:01:41.900,0:01:43.280
Is that a time machine?
0:01:43.280,0:01:45.110
There's no need to concern yourself
0:01:45.110,0:01:46.550
with my stand accomplishments.
0:01:46.550,0:01:47.505
Best get in.
0:01:48.019,0:01:49.149
There's not much time.
0:01:49.434,0:01:50.974
crying I gotta go down to the bank
0:01:50.974,0:01:52.146
to get my life back.
0:01:52.146,0:01:53.956
They took everything!
0:01:53.956,0:01:56.683
Ooh! Bank ain't gonna help you now.
0:01:56.904,0:01:58.194

0:02:00.595,0:02:02.275
crying you're gonna get my Dream back?
0:02:02.275,0:02:05.165
No, Pile. You are. I'm here to show you how.

0:02:12.933,0:02:14.403
Submitted for your approval,
0:02:14.403,0:02:16.173
one First National Bank.
0:02:16.353,0:02:17.812
What is a bank, you ask?
0:02:18.090,0:02:18.920
A curious place
0:02:18.920,0:02:21.502
where both space, time, and irony exist.
0:02:22.023,0:02:22.623
And yet...
0:02:23.221,0:02:23.521
don't.
0:02:23.676,0:02:25.186
Uh, are you gonna be doin' that the
0:02:25.186,0:02:25.956
whole time?
0:02:25.956,0:02:27.328
Pay attention, Pile.
0:02:27.582,0:02:28.312
Exhibit A:
0:02:28.312,0:02:30.912
Those who have come to deposit and safely
0:02:30.912,0:02:31.990
store their earned monies.
0:02:32.654,0:02:33.374
Exhibit B:
0:02:33.714,0:02:35.914
Those who need to borrow said money
0:02:35.914,0:02:37.524
for purposes...unknown.
0:02:37.991,0:02:38.611
Hey!
0:02:38.812,0:02:39.672
That's me!
0:02:39.672,0:02:41.672
Ergo, exhibit C.
0:02:41.956,0:02:43.666
The bank only has so much money
0:02:43.666,0:02:44.837
in the vault to lend out.
0:02:45.282,0:02:45.792
To people
0:02:46.157,0:02:46.937
such as you.
0:02:47.667,0:02:48.227
Hey!
0:02:48.274,0:02:49.144
Hey that's the guy!
0:02:49.283,0:02:50.400
He took my house!
0:02:50.424,0:02:52.439
Really screwin' my vibe here, Pile.
0:02:52.582,0:02:54.762
Space-time continuum, he can't hear you.
0:02:54.762,0:02:56.467
Just let me narrate.
0:02:56.467,0:02:57.837
Now, where was I? clears throat
0:02:58.100,0:02:58.960
So you see,
0:02:59.131,0:03:00.801
by the time he got to you, Pile,
0:03:01.036,0:03:02.766
His bank was out of money
0:03:03.625,0:03:03.995
But
0:03:04.371,0:03:05.532
he gave me lots of money
0:03:05.532,0:03:07.150
and charged me a lot of interest.
0:03:07.544,0:03:08.044
Yes.
0:03:08.237,0:03:10.167
That's the only way banks make money.
0:03:10.290,0:03:11.599
By making debt loans.
0:03:11.599,0:03:13.301
Debt equals money, pal.
0:03:13.770,0:03:14.470
Remember that.
0:03:14.773,0:03:16.195
Debt equals money.
0:03:16.278,0:03:18.958
The more loans they make, the more money they make.
0:03:19.188,0:03:20.610
But if they don't have any money,
0:03:20.610,0:03:22.260
then where did my money come from?
0:03:22.570,0:03:24.569
beeping You're gonna wanna take a step back, Pile.
0:03:27.673,0:03:28.273
Woah!
0:03:29.147,0:03:30.167
No way!
0:03:30.423,0:03:31.073
Yes way.
0:03:31.295,0:03:32.145
And that's nothing.
0:03:32.749,0:03:35.157
Hey buddy, need some money?
0:03:37.456,0:03:39.306
They didn't do that!
0:03:39.688,0:03:41.798
Aw, they did exactly that, Pile.
0:03:41.931,0:03:44.311
Remember, banks make money by making loans,
0:03:44.311,0:03:46.473
by selling debt, even to
0:03:47.165,0:03:49.197
...bad credit risks.

Just sign here.
0:03:55.927,0:03:57.220
Oh my gosh!
0:03:57.220,0:03:59.313
Mm-hm, they called it "free money".
0:03:59.382,0:04:02.060
Yeah, that's exactly what my loan guy told me,
0:04:02.060,0:04:03.142
free money!
0:04:03.317,0:04:04.597
But it ain't free,
0:04:04.723,0:04:06.172
The worst part was offering money
0:04:06.172,0:04:07.755
to people who don't even need it.
0:04:07.755,0:04:09.743
People, Pile, like you.

0:04:12.152,0:04:12.912
You were right,
0:04:13.031,0:04:14.431
I didn't need him
0:04:14.431,0:04:15.841
I was happy here,
0:04:15.841,0:04:17.031
I didn't need it!
0:04:24.307,0:04:26.632
Why's he sad? He's makin' all that money.
0:04:26.987,0:04:29.087
Shhhhh...he's thinkin'.
0:04:31.670,0:04:33.080
Now wait fo it...
0:04:33.853,0:04:35.733
Now wait for it...
0:04:36.509,0:04:37.409
Bingo.
0:04:37.994,0:04:40.354
See the bank has loaned to everyone in town,
0:04:40.437,0:04:42.091
but to make more money they have
0:04:42.091,0:04:43.424
to loan even more.
0:04:43.977,0:04:44.607
More?
0:04:44.895,0:04:46.425
How much money do they need?
0:04:46.520,0:04:48.020
More.
0:04:48.824,0:04:50.374

0:05:13.553,0:05:15.040
I mean it's gonna be okay.
0:05:15.040,0:05:16.690
Everything's gonna be okay.
0:05:16.978,0:05:17.738
What now?
0:05:17.897,0:05:18.637
Now?
0:05:19.107,0:05:20.677
We're powered with all this money,
0:05:21.071,0:05:23.430
we might as well...party.
0:05:29.024,0:05:31.665
Oh ho, this is awesome.
0:05:31.665,0:05:33.379
I needed to get my head clear
0:05:33.379,0:05:35.201
When I get back, I'm gonna straighten
0:05:35.201,0:05:36.372
all this out
0:05:36.372,0:05:38.265
I just hope Dream is doin' okay.

You know...
0:05:59.048,0:06:00.163
Wait a second, Hartman,
0:06:00.163,0:06:01.684
I just thought of something.
0:06:01.684,0:06:03.691
If I got this money from the bank...
0:06:03.691,0:06:05.441
and the bank got it from the federal reserve
0:06:05.441,0:06:06.440
dump trucks....
0:06:06.987,0:06:08.167
Go on...
0:06:08.577,0:06:10.457
Then...where does the federal reserve
0:06:10.457,0:06:11.627
get their money?
0:06:12.102,0:06:13.653
Real nice time, ladies.
0:06:13.706,0:06:14.596
Real nice.
0:06:14.737,0:06:16.530
Excuse me while I borrow these.

0:06:22.119,0:06:23.379
because no one is allowed
0:06:23.379,0:06:24.429

0:06:24.621,0:06:26.051
Not you, not me
0:06:26.051,0:06:27.141
no American citizen

0:06:31.110,0:06:32.550

0:06:32.550,0:06:33.961
Not the Supreme Court.

allowed inside its own building?
0:06:48.896,0:06:49.636
Government?
0:06:49.636,0:06:51.424
Pile, the Fed is a private bank,
0:06:51.424,0:06:52.944
owned by private stockholders.
0:06:52.944,0:06:55.194
Do not let the name "Federal" fool you,
0:06:55.194,0:06:56.984
this place about as federal as
0:06:56.984,0:06:58.124
"Federal Express"
0:06:58.317,0:07:00.177
A-a private bank?
0:07:00.247,0:07:01.717
But...private?!
0:07:02.070,0:07:03.490
Ssh!
0:07:05.597,0:07:07.557
Best to keep your voice down, Pile.

Hey Ethan! Bill here, First National.
0:07:13.408,0:07:14.778
Hi there Bill, how are ya?
0:07:14.952,0:07:17.502
Good, good. We're running a little low on money.
0:07:17.594,0:07:19.014
No problem, how much you need?
0:07:19.054,0:07:20.834
Oh, how does 20 million sound?

What?

Excellent, we'll ship it over first thing
0:07:24.417,0:07:25.127
tomorrow
0:07:25.127,0:07:26.987
We-he can just call up the Fed
0:07:26.987,0:07:28.557
and ask for more money
0:07:28.557,0:07:30.167
and they give them whatever they want?
0:07:30.167,0:07:30.917
No, Pile.
0:07:31.104,0:07:33.224
The Fed don't give the banks money
0:07:33.224,0:07:35.697
the Fed loans the banks money.
0:07:37.787,0:07:39.387
The banks have to pay it back
0:07:39.387,0:07:40.672
with interest. Now come on,
0:07:40.672,0:07:41.412
time to go.
0:07:41.412,0:07:43.896
Wait, wait, wait, I still don't understand
0:07:43.896,0:07:45.727
Where does the Fed get their money?
0:07:45.727,0:07:47.367
I mean, if they're a private bank.
0:07:47.367,0:07:48.747
You said they're a private bank, right?
0:07:48.747,0:07:50.797
Okay, so who puts money into the Fed bank?

0:07:57.315,0:07:58.305
another 20 millies.
0:07:58.457,0:08:00.317
We're already running the presses full
0:08:00.317,0:08:01.417

0:08:01.417,0:08:02.657
Gotta keep makin' loans
0:08:02.657,0:08:04.047
gotta keep the money flowin'.
0:08:04.047,0:08:05.997
Ahhh, alright, you're the Fed.
0:08:05.997,0:08:07.527
Whatever you guys say.

0:08:12.518,0:08:14.146
...what's so wrong about the Fed
0:08:14.146,0:08:15.106
printing money?
0:08:15.413,0:08:17.833
Because it's unconstitutional, Pile.
0:08:18.286,0:08:20.696
Our treasury is supposed to create
0:08:20.696,0:08:21.396
our money
0:08:21.396,0:08:23.106
But now the Fed controls the printing
0:08:23.106,0:08:23.915
of America's money.
0:08:24.121,0:08:26.371
Nobody gets a friggin' dollar
0:08:26.371,0:08:28.451
that the Fed didn't print.
0:08:28.598,0:08:29.458
So?
0:08:29.543,0:08:30.533
They print the money,
0:08:30.533,0:08:31.983
then they loan it to the government,
0:08:31.983,0:08:33.943
then they charge the government interest
0:08:33.943,0:08:36.093
then the government taxes you to pay for it.
0:08:36.183,0:08:37.323
Wake up, Pile!
0:08:37.436,0:08:39.956
Gah, I don't see what the big deal is.
0:08:40.346,0:08:41.866
You know, you're right, Pile.
0:08:41.866,0:08:43.360
Wait, wait...I am?
0:08:43.360,0:08:44.060
Yeah.
0:08:44.060,0:08:46.060
I forget how effective they are at keeping
0:08:46.060,0:08:47.094
you ignorant.
0:08:47.094,0:08:48.694
Well, that's okay...hey!
0:08:48.694,0:08:49.804
I'm not ignorant!
0:08:49.804,0:08:51.864
Do you even know what money is, Pile?
0:08:51.864,0:08:52.604
claps
0:08:57.420,0:09:00.240
In the long, long ago, when people bartered
0:09:00.240,0:09:01.801
they traded things they had
0:09:01.801,0:09:02.951
for things they wanted
0:09:02.951,0:09:04.781
I'll trade you my raspberries
0:09:04.781,0:09:06.374
for that there pot pie
0:09:06.512,0:09:07.902
I-I don't want your berries.
0:09:08.090,0:09:09.240
Come on, Pile
0:09:09.633,0:09:10.743
They're sweet berries.
0:09:10.743,0:09:12.263
They're not sweet, they're old,
0:09:12.263,0:09:13.399
and I don't like berries.
0:09:13.399,0:09:14.574
Gimme that pot pie!
0:09:14.574,0:09:15.004
No!
0:09:15.152,0:09:17.574
As you can see, this bartering situation
0:09:17.574,0:09:19.114
created some problems.
0:09:19.114,0:09:21.597
Then one day, a goldsmith walked up and said
0:09:22.427,0:09:24.611
Now, everybody thinks gold is valuable
0:09:24.611,0:09:26.299
so why doesn't everybody trade gold
0:09:26.299,0:09:27.591
for things they need.
0:09:27.591,0:09:29.341
cheering
0:09:29.341,0:09:30.913
The price was set for gold
0:09:30.913,0:09:33.253
and now it was very easy to conduct commerce
0:09:33.253,0:09:35.149
because people could trade gold for all
0:09:35.149,0:09:37.216
the things they needed.
0:09:38.495,0:09:41.625
Hartman, wow, look at all my gold!
0:09:41.625,0:09:42.495
chuckling
0:09:42.495,0:09:45.335
Hey, stop them! That's my gold!
0:09:45.335,0:09:46.588
Damn thieves.
0:09:47.076,0:09:47.896
Say there, Pile.
0:09:47.896,0:09:49.847
Look, I've got a vault and some guards.
0:09:49.847,0:09:51.751
I can keep your gold safe for you.
0:09:51.751,0:09:53.264
For a small fee.
0:09:53.526,0:09:55.106
Yeah, sure, that'd be awesome!
0:09:55.106,0:09:56.009
You see, Pile.
0:09:56.009,0:09:58.799
This is how the first bank made money.
0:09:59.157,0:10:00.207
There you go, Pile.
0:10:00.207,0:10:02.429
I.O.U 100 gold coins.
0:10:02.893,0:10:04.343
Okay, great!
0:10:04.488,0:10:06.508
Come back any time and redeem your gold
0:10:06.508,0:10:07.418
when you want it.
0:10:07.418,0:10:08.610
It'll be right here.
0:10:08.961,0:10:10.171
In my vault.
0:10:11.400,0:10:13.350
Now you're holding the very first paper
0:10:13.350,0:10:14.050
money, Pile.
0:10:14.705,0:10:15.955
Wow, this is
0:10:15.955,0:10:17.859
great, it all makes sense.
0:10:17.859,0:10:19.789
Oh, that's right, it was good.
0:10:19.789,0:10:22.249
And everybody started using I.O.Us
0:10:22.249,0:10:24.639
because everybody knew the I.O.U was
0:10:24.639,0:10:26.954
as good as gold.
0:10:27.504,0:10:28.214
Wow,
0:10:28.214,0:10:31.304
this candy is really a good price, one I.O.U
0:10:31.304,0:10:33.346
I'm getting some more for later.
0:10:33.650,0:10:34.410
Hey!
0:10:34.410,0:10:36.540
Wait a minute, it was just one I.O.U
0:10:36.540,0:10:38.699
10 I.O.Us for chocolate?!
0:10:38.699,0:10:41.109
He can't just raise prices like that.
0:10:41.109,0:10:43.165
Oh, the candy man can!
0:10:43.165,0:10:47.015
sings Oh the candy man can!
0:10:47.015,0:10:49.527
Wait, that is just freakin' wrong!
0:10:49.598,0:10:51.378
It's called inflation, Pile.
0:10:51.378,0:10:54.147
It makes your I.O.Us worth less and less
0:10:54.147,0:10:56.050
until they are worth nothin'.
0:10:56.050,0:10:57.780
Less bang for the buck,
0:10:57.780,0:10:59.770
dollar ain't what it used to be.
0:11:00.488,0:11:01.948
But I worked hard and I baked
0:11:01.948,0:11:02.888
all those pot pies.
0:11:03.133,0:11:05.063
Now I have to work harder to make less?
0:11:05.063,0:11:06.013
That's not fair.
0:11:06.319,0:11:08.049
Oh, if you think that's not fair...
0:11:08.049,0:11:09.886
you're gonna love the next part.
0:11:11.773,0:11:13.203
W-what's he doin'?
0:11:13.555,0:11:15.355
How do banks make money, Pile?
0:11:15.533,0:11:17.863
Uh, by making more loans?
0:11:17.897,0:11:19.757
Oh, that's right. He's good.
0:11:19.952,0:11:21.912
See, he prints more I.O.U.s without
0:11:21.912,0:11:24.052
any more gold, loans 'em out for interest
0:11:24.052,0:11:26.394
makes a pretty penny and nobody is the wiser
0:11:26.716,0:11:27.566
Unless...
0:11:27.958,0:11:30.648
Everybody wanted their gold back at the same time.
0:11:30.920,0:11:32.610
N-n-n-no, that's my gold.
0:11:33.400,0:11:35.000
Not anymore.
0:11:35.443,0:11:37.743
What are you talking about?
0:11:37.808,0:11:39.878
I'd like to redeem my I.O.U.s please.
0:11:40.588,0:11:41.778
Thank ya very much.
0:11:42.235,0:11:43.025
Hey!
0:11:43.025,0:11:45.931
crowd yelling
0:11:45.931,0:11:47.944
I want my gold back now!
0:11:48.370,0:11:50.130
Thief! Thief!
0:11:50.238,0:11:51.698
Gotta love the bank run
0:11:51.698,0:11:53.208
Bringin' people together
0:11:53.208,0:11:54.840
See they all found out he was stealin'
0:11:55.067,0:11:57.977
made a run of the bank and as you can see
0:11:59.976,0:12:01.446
There ain't no gold to get.
0:12:01.778,0:12:02.688
Hartman!
0:12:02.766,0:12:04.866
Don't worry, Pile. Back in these times
0:12:04.866,0:12:06.995
vengeance will be yours.
0:12:07.136,0:12:09.419
Three things in this world you don't do:
0:12:09.504,0:12:11.524
Never mess with another man's woman,
0:12:11.524,0:12:13.657
never mess with another man's ego, and
0:12:13.657,0:12:15.079
most importantly,
0:12:15.079,0:12:19.079
you never mess with another man's money.
0:12:21.402,0:12:24.010
Else, the man will mess with you.
0:12:24.302,0:12:25.472
My god!
0:12:25.472,0:12:26.427
You hung him?
0:12:26.663,0:12:27.793
Yes, Pile!
0:12:27.846,0:12:30.556
Oh, we hung him. We hung him high.
0:12:30.630,0:12:32.490
And do you know why?
0:12:32.824,0:12:35.104
Well, because he was a thief?
0:12:35.160,0:12:36.380
Because, Pile,
0:12:36.593,0:12:38.733
An evil invention was born
0:12:38.918,0:12:41.758
Man discovered how to turn worthless paper...
0:12:42.405,0:12:43.425
...into gold
0:12:44.230,0:12:46.530
Thus was invented the ultimate machine
0:12:46.530,0:12:48.280
to steal real money and enslave
0:12:48.280,0:12:49.961
all the nations on Earth.
0:12:54.980,0:12:56.310
It's alive!
0:12:56.760,0:12:57.870
Oh now come on,
0:12:57.870,0:12:59.106
you're just being dramatic
0:12:59.106,0:13:00.661
I-I mean, I lost my house, but
0:13:00.661,0:13:01.688
What is that?
0:13:01.688,0:13:02.448
Explain.
0:13:02.448,0:13:03.889
A nuclear power plant?
0:13:04.099,0:13:06.659
Mhm, produces lots of electricity and
0:13:06.659,0:13:08.879
little pollution. An invention for the good
0:13:08.879,0:13:09.589
of humanity.
0:13:09.730,0:13:12.020
Okay, but what's this have to do with...
0:13:12.020,0:13:14.620
3...2... BOOM
0:13:15.400,0:13:16.020
Holy
0:13:16.020,0:13:19.438
Atomic energy. A discover more powerful
0:13:19.438,0:13:21.683
than anything man had yet conceived.
0:13:22.072,0:13:23.332
It can be used for good...
0:13:23.888,0:13:24.658
or
0:13:24.738,0:13:25.488
evil.
0:13:26.075,0:13:26.735
Now
0:13:26.895,0:13:28.445
Unlike Einstien
0:13:28.445,0:13:30.627
The goldsmith's discovery has been kept
0:13:30.627,0:13:32.473
a closely guarded secret.
0:13:32.473,0:13:34.389
It was never intended for you to see.
0:13:34.635,0:13:35.846
This discovery is called
0:13:35.846,0:13:37.940
fractional reserve banking
0:13:38.666,0:13:41.026
In the wrong hands, it's more powerful
0:13:41.026,0:13:42.296
than the nuclear bomb
0:13:42.296,0:13:44.324
in its ability to completely and utterly
0:13:44.324,0:13:47.674
destroy a nation who is subjected to its perversion.
0:13:48.746,0:13:51.426
No, no, no, no, no, no.
0:13:51.426,0:13:54.056
It is time we stop this evil secret
0:13:54.056,0:13:55.395
and the men behind it.
0:13:55.395,0:13:56.595
You're being ridiculous.
0:13:56.595,0:13:59.059
Before America is destroyed forever.
0:13:59.059,0:14:00.664
Believe it, Pile.
0:14:00.664,0:14:03.550
No, no, no, I just want my dog back.
0:14:03.550,0:14:05.980
Damn it, that's it, I give up.
0:14:06.278,0:14:07.748
Let them live in chains.
0:14:09.272,0:14:10.602
No, Hartman.
0:14:10.983,0:14:13.383
The tree of liberty must be refreshed
0:14:13.383,0:14:15.123
from time to time with the blood
0:14:15.123,0:14:16.646
of patriots and tyrants.
0:14:17.054,0:14:18.914
Thomas Jefferson?
0:14:19.146,0:14:21.916
Mr. President, how do I get him to understand?
0:14:22.278,0:14:25.428
As we did, son. Remain vigilant.
0:14:25.836,0:14:27.586
Too many have hidden the truth
0:14:27.586,0:14:29.689
and the light of our liberty dims
0:14:29.689,0:14:30.707
with every passing day.
0:14:31.781,0:14:32.491
Quickly,
0:14:32.491,0:14:33.621
Take my horse.
0:14:33.621,0:14:34.381
Show him
0:14:35.442,0:14:36.682
Wait, show me what?
0:14:36.748,0:14:37.688
Where are we going?
0:14:37.784,0:14:38.814
horse neighs
0:14:38.814,0:14:40.697
Hey, stallion of liber-tie
0:14:40.697,0:14:43.930
Ride hard the hoary wind.
0:14:44.834,0:14:46.504
Oh, where are we?
0:14:47.019,0:14:48.139
Battle of Waterloo
0:14:48.139,0:14:49.944
Hold on, we gotta get through.
0:14:51.053,0:14:53.462
A money machine! There it is!
0:14:54.579,0:14:56.109
Hey, is that the same people?
0:14:56.148,0:14:58.040
Rich banker men from Germany flying
0:14:58.040,0:14:59.879
under the banner of the red shield.
0:14:59.879,0:15:01.789
They financed both sides of the war.
0:15:01.870,0:15:02.940
We must hurry!
0:15:04.566,0:15:06.507
That's him! The red shield courier.
0:15:06.507,0:15:07.225
Shoot him!
0:15:07.225,0:15:09.274
No! I'm not shootin' anyone.
0:15:09.274,0:15:10.471
Damn it, Pile!
0:15:10.471,0:15:11.290
What?
0:15:11.290,0:15:12.566
He beat everyone back
0:15:12.566,0:15:13.874
with the news of the war
0:15:13.874,0:15:16.102
and told England that Napoleon won.
0:15:16.102,0:15:17.985
The red shield bankers in London
0:15:17.985,0:15:19.747
pretended that England was doomed
0:15:19.747,0:15:22.443
and started selling their English stocks.
0:15:22.587,0:15:24.407
The English went into a selling frenzy
0:15:24.407,0:15:26.352
to get rid of worthless English money.
0:15:26.465,0:15:28.806
But, the English won? Right?
0:15:28.903,0:15:30.133
Of course they won,
0:15:30.388,0:15:32.538
but it was a trick by red shield
0:15:32.538,0:15:34.425
they waited until the stocks plummeted
0:15:34.425,0:15:35.885
to pennies and then bought
0:15:35.885,0:15:37.596
England back for nearly nothing.
0:15:37.596,0:15:38.346
What?!
0:15:38.346,0:15:40.419
They did that? How?
0:15:40.511,0:15:42.441
When the English leaders found out they
0:15:42.441,0:15:44.461
had no choice but to give themselves over
0:15:44.461,0:15:45.616
to the red shield.
0:15:45.665,0:15:47.649
Their money was gone, and they were slaves
0:15:47.649,0:15:49.448
to the red shield war debt.
0:15:50.125,0:15:51.745
Since that time, the English have
0:15:51.745,0:15:53.345
been payin' their national taxes
0:15:53.345,0:15:55.670
directly to the red shield private bankers
0:15:55.670,0:15:58.256
and people have no idea.
0:15:58.585,0:16:00.465
But the bankers bragged about what they did
0:16:00.465,0:16:03.851
to us, laughing at us all the way to the bank.
0:16:04.453,0:16:06.873
Why, it's the best business I've ever done.
0:16:06.976,0:16:08.676
If I can control a nation's wealth,
0:16:08.676,0:16:10.895
I care not who makes its laws.
0:16:13.391,0:16:16.244
Oh, is this what Jefferson wanted to show me?
0:16:16.345,0:16:17.355
No, Pile,
0:16:17.950,0:16:19.033
Look....
0:16:20.415,0:16:22.753
They're in America, too?!
0:16:23.003,0:16:25.233
The red shield banks are here, Pile.
0:16:25.616,0:16:28.262
Seeking a way to conquer our American dream.
0:16:28.262,0:16:29.697
A dream you have, Pile.
0:16:29.697,0:16:32.391
A dream...of free men.
0:16:32.958,0:16:34.745
They tried to take over our country
0:16:34.745,0:16:36.485
many times and failed because
0:16:36.485,0:16:38.550
Jefferson and the patriots vowed to stop
0:16:38.550,0:16:40.610
the evil tyrants at all costs.
0:16:44.023,0:16:46.057
By authority of eternal God,
0:16:46.057,0:16:48.621
he would not let the bankers win here.
0:16:49.050,0:16:51.051
To preserve our independance,
0:16:51.051,0:16:52.670
we must not let our rulers
0:16:52.670,0:16:54.510
load us with perpetual debt.
0:16:54.771,0:16:56.291
We must make our choice between
0:16:56.291,0:16:59.690
economy and liberty, or perfusion and servitude
0:17:00.096,0:17:01.016
Wow!
0:17:01.230,0:17:03.461
I place economy among the first
0:17:03.461,0:17:06.021
and most important of Republican virtues.
0:17:06.021,0:17:08.231
and public debt is the greatest of the
0:17:08.231,0:17:09.581
dangers to be feared.
0:17:09.813,0:17:11.653
It is incumbent upon every generation
0:17:11.653,0:17:14.533
to pay its own debts as it goes.
0:17:14.902,0:17:17.089
We must have a central bank to secure
0:17:17.089,0:17:18.815
this country's finances!
0:17:19.106,0:17:21.686
If the American people ever allow
0:17:21.686,0:17:24.040
private banks to control the issue
0:17:24.040,0:17:26.684
of their money, first by inflation
0:17:26.684,0:17:28.418
and then by deflation,
0:17:28.418,0:17:31.378
the banks and corporations that will grow
0:17:31.378,0:17:33.258
up around them will deprive the people
0:17:33.258,0:17:35.718
of their property, until, their children
0:17:35.718,0:17:38.287
will wake up homeless on the very continent
0:17:38.287,0:17:39.947
their fathers conquered.
0:17:40.237,0:17:41.927
Jefferson, you're mad!
0:17:42.103,0:17:44.293
This country will have a central bank!
0:17:44.293,0:17:45.190
crowd arguing
0:17:45.190,0:17:46.035
Who's that?
0:17:46.035,0:17:48.488
America's first secretary of treasury.
0:17:48.488,0:17:50.522
Alexander Hamilton?
0:17:50.522,0:17:51.672
Not for long.
0:17:51.672,0:17:52.948
Aaron Burr
0:17:52.948,0:17:54.971
Thomas Jefferson's vice president,
0:17:55.059,0:17:56.799
They didn't take too kindly to our
0:17:56.799,0:17:58.122
first sec treasury.
0:17:58.276,0:17:59.506
gunshot
0:17:59.897,0:18:01.387
Sweet shot, Burr.
0:18:02.398,0:18:04.194
The first attempt of the central bank
0:18:04.194,0:18:06.804
only lasted twenty years and we shut it down.
0:18:06.890,0:18:08.454
But the bankers tried again
0:18:08.454,0:18:09.703
against Ol' Hickory.
0:18:09.737,0:18:11.712
President Andrew Jackson.
0:18:11.949,0:18:15.149
You are a den of vipers and thieves.
0:18:15.428,0:18:17.438
I intend to route you out,
0:18:17.611,0:18:21.611
and by the eternal God, I will route you out.
0:18:21.939,0:18:24.606
After surviving an assassination attempt,
0:18:24.606,0:18:28.330
Jackson finally defeated the bank in 1836.
0:18:28.481,0:18:30.071
When asked what was the greatest
0:18:30.071,0:18:32.600
accomplishment in his life, Ol' Hickory replied
0:18:32.865,0:18:34.970
I killed the banks.
0:18:36.780,0:18:39.480
And those were his last words
0:18:39.480,0:18:42.098
I killed the bank.
0:18:42.347,0:18:45.222
And, with real money backed with real gold,
0:18:45.351,0:18:47.271
Our country experienced the greatest
0:18:47.271,0:18:48.891
boom in any nation's history.
0:18:48.891,0:18:51.411
Aw, it was beautiful, Pile.
0:18:51.449,0:18:52.781
But the bankers, greedy for
0:18:52.781,0:18:53.931
more power and wealth
0:18:53.931,0:18:56.919
were concocting their most ambitious plan yet
0:18:56.919,0:18:58.849
to once and for all take control
0:18:58.849,0:19:01.497
of the finances of the United States.
0:19:02.080,0:19:04.520
In 1910, a secret meeting was held
0:19:04.520,0:19:05.860
at a J.P. Morgan estate
0:19:05.860,0:19:08.237
on Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia
0:19:08.593,0:19:10.433
This meeting was so secretive,
0:19:10.433,0:19:12.313
so concealed from government
0:19:12.313,0:19:13.313
and public knowledge,
0:19:13.469,0:19:16.689
that the ten attendees used code names.
0:19:17.357,0:19:19.117
clears throat noisily
0:19:19.507,0:19:21.877
I am clearly the richest man, so
0:19:21.877,0:19:23.587
I should be the one to run the
0:19:23.587,0:19:25.474
super secret central bank.
0:19:25.537,0:19:27.907
I own all the oil in America, I'm clearly
0:19:27.907,0:19:30.284
richer than you'll ever be, Hula Girl.
0:19:30.432,0:19:32.462
I should run the super secret central bank.
0:19:32.519,0:19:35.789
You're nothing compared to me, Lube Job.
0:19:35.917,0:19:37.850
I shall run the secret bank.
0:19:38.110,0:19:39.950
deep, booming voice Silence!
0:19:40.735,0:19:42.085
Supreme Master Leader,
0:19:42.403,0:19:44.163
I didn't know you were gonna be here.
0:19:44.200,0:19:45.150
I'm not,
0:19:45.222,0:19:46.462
neither are you.
0:19:46.662,0:19:47.572
Dumbass.
0:19:47.644,0:19:51.264
Oh yeah, right, right. He's so smart.
0:19:52.468,0:19:54.728
None of you shall run the bank.
0:19:54.889,0:19:56.419
We have failed in the past
0:19:56.429,0:19:57.689
because of openness,
0:19:57.724,0:20:00.784
This time the key to success is secrecy.
0:20:00.848,0:20:04.598
The people must believe that they run the bank.
0:20:04.636,0:20:06.776
Yes, brilliant!
0:20:06.799,0:20:09.471
A sneak attack. What's the plan?
0:20:09.907,0:20:11.282
We first create panic,
0:20:11.282,0:20:13.532
and then we show them the solution:
0:20:13.654,0:20:16.268
With our man in office and well-planned timing,
0:20:16.268,0:20:18.160
we will have our central bank.
0:20:18.208,0:20:20.641
And so the people think it is theirs,
0:20:20.714,0:20:22.592
We shall christen it Federal.
0:20:22.592,0:20:24.914
The Federal Reserve.
0:20:24.942,0:20:27.441
All laugh evilly
0:20:31.152,0:20:34.860
They struck on December 23rd, 1913.
0:20:35.199,0:20:37.089
When most of our Congress were at home
0:20:37.089,0:20:39.018
eating fruitcake, these bastards
0:20:39.018,0:20:40.509
I mean, bankers,
0:20:40.514,0:20:42.374
presented their treasonous act to their
0:20:42.374,0:20:44.904
newly elected accomplice, Woodrow Wilson.
0:20:45.078,0:20:47.159
Who had fortuitously already agreed
0:20:47.159,0:20:49.783
to sign it before he was even elected.
0:20:50.107,0:20:51.027
Wait,
0:20:51.267,0:20:52.427
the I.R.S.?
0:20:52.654,0:20:54.584
I thought we always had the I.R.S.?
0:20:54.908,0:20:55.908
No, Pile.
0:20:56.315,0:20:57.505
They did this,
0:20:57.621,0:20:58.981
to us, too.
0:20:59.240,0:21:01.820
The Fed now has the exclusive power
0:21:01.820,0:21:03.799
to print America's money.
0:21:03.976,0:21:06.252
They loan this money to our banks
0:21:06.252,0:21:08.219
and our government at interest,
0:21:08.219,0:21:10.630
putting immediate debt on our own money,
0:21:10.630,0:21:13.517
printing more and more so each dollar they
0:21:13.517,0:21:17.517
print becomes worth less than the one before.
0:21:22.195,0:21:24.266
ominously Merry. Christmas.
0:21:27.154,0:21:28.602
What in the hell is that?
0:21:29.569,0:21:32.268
That, Pile, is how our government now must
0:21:32.268,0:21:34.137
pay back these debts to the Fed
0:21:34.137,0:21:37.237
Your taxes do not go to your government.
0:21:37.237,0:21:38.197
They don't?
0:21:38.197,0:21:42.197
It's the greatest theft in human history.
0:21:42.197,0:21:43.077
But...
0:21:43.077,0:21:45.627
Okay, I-I mean, I sorta get what you're saying.
0:21:45.627,0:21:48.172
but it's all so confusing, and really, Hartman,
0:21:48.172,0:21:50.138
I don't see how it affects me at all.
0:21:50.138,0:21:51.148
If I had more money,
0:21:51.148,0:21:52.351
none of this would have happened.
0:21:52.840,0:21:53.660
Hartman?
0:21:59.010,0:22:01.690
1955, wow, what're we doin' here?
0:22:01.690,0:22:03.070
Oh, a little bit of shoppin'
0:22:03.080,0:22:06.473
Here, hold this. Gallon of gas? 23 cents.
0:22:07.049,0:22:08.199
Postage stamp?
0:22:08.199,0:22:08.989
3 cents.
0:22:09.311,0:22:11.781
Ounce of gold, $35.
0:22:12.165,0:22:14.442
Hot baby? Priceless.
0:22:14.822,0:22:15.902
Best be gettin' back.
0:22:16.714,0:22:19.009
Hey Hartman! I need my car, man!
0:22:19.837,0:22:21.457
Oh, was that Michael J....
0:22:21.457,0:22:23.377
Yeah, he'll be fine.
0:22:26.202,0:22:27.112
Now Pile,
0:22:27.112,0:22:28.922
Would you agree that you have the same
0:22:28.922,0:22:31.319
exact things you had in 1955?
0:22:31.557,0:22:32.927
Yeah. One stamp,
0:22:32.927,0:22:35.839
one gallon of gas, one ounce of gold, and one home.
0:22:38.079,0:22:38.912
Wow!
0:22:38.912,0:22:40.882
We just made a lot of money.
0:22:40.882,0:22:42.360
Grab, grab, grab, grab.
0:22:42.384,0:22:43.094
Hey!
0:22:44.453,0:22:45.820
Gotta pay your taxes.
0:22:45.820,0:22:48.785
But it's nice to have made all that money.
0:22:48.785,0:22:50.925
Wait! That isn't fair.
0:22:50.925,0:22:52.423
Now I actually have less money,
0:22:52.423,0:22:54.703
I can't even go buy the things I just sold.
0:22:55.064,0:22:58.414
The IRS and the Fed's inflation work together
0:22:58.414,0:23:00.597
Pile, they aren't just taxing gain,
0:23:00.597,0:23:02.544
They are taxing their inflation.
0:23:02.544,0:23:06.010
You are no richer than you were in 1955,
0:23:06.010,0:23:08.660
Now does that sound fair or American to you?
0:23:08.660,0:23:10.822
Yeah, but I mean, who doesn't hate taxes?
0:23:10.822,0:23:12.428
I hate the I.R.S. anyway.
0:23:12.428,0:23:16.038
Pile, the higher they make the inflation,
0:23:16.038,0:23:18.264
the more of your money they take.
0:23:18.264,0:23:19.604
It's thievery.
0:23:19.608,0:23:21.858
You are not paying taxes on any more,
0:23:21.858,0:23:23.871
you are paying taxes on the same.
0:23:23.871,0:23:26.389
And now you have less.
0:23:26.389,0:23:28.169
They take our property away
0:23:28.169,0:23:29.799
right in front of our eyes.
0:23:29.799,0:23:31.743
Just like Thomas Jefferson said they would.
0:23:34.175,0:23:35.695
What's that?!
0:23:35.695,0:23:39.611
Oh, they found us! Quick, my sword.
0:23:39.720,0:23:40.750
What sword?!
0:23:41.868,0:23:43.948
We don't need your bankin' machine!
0:23:43.948,0:23:47.288
I condemn you to die, damn it, die!
0:23:47.587,0:23:49.820
Pile! Throw that key bogey off my nine,
0:23:49.820,0:23:51.343
Take 'em at his knees!
0:24:00.631,0:24:02.631
But we are opposed around the world
0:24:03.313,0:24:06.075
By a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy
0:24:06.846,0:24:09.246
That relies primarily on covet means.
0:24:10.094,0:24:12.124
For expanding its sphere of influence.
0:24:12.436,0:24:13.356
What's happening?
0:24:13.532,0:24:14.412
Where am I?
0:24:14.560,0:24:17.530
I believe, perhaps, you understand now, Pile.
0:24:17.820,0:24:19.250
But you are...afraid.
0:24:19.683,0:24:20.423
JFK
0:24:20.573,0:24:21.303
Hartman!
0:24:21.303,0:24:23.530
What does this have to do with my house and my dog?
0:24:23.584,0:24:26.154
Okay, that's enough! I wanna go home now.
0:24:26.301,0:24:29.751
This is the last president to stand up to the Fed.
0:24:29.970,0:24:31.470
You must see.
0:24:31.631,0:24:33.891
On June 4th, 1963
0:24:34.027,0:24:38.614
President Kennedy signed executive order 11110.
0:24:39.320,0:24:41.932
This executive order empowered the US treasury
0:24:41.932,0:24:44.133
to issue real money without the Fed.
0:24:44.361,0:24:45.391
It would have worked.
0:24:46.236,0:24:47.816
Kennedy's plan to dismantle the
0:24:47.816,0:24:49.789
Federal Reserve machine had begun.
0:24:50.821,0:24:51.821
Six months later...
0:24:52.252,0:24:54.172
John F. Kennedy went to Dallas...
0:24:54.172,0:24:55.542
...and never returned.
0:24:56.581,0:24:57.951
No. Way.
0:24:57.951,0:24:59.662
No way they could do that.
0:24:59.662,0:25:01.776
The new president, Lyndon Johnson,
0:25:01.776,0:25:03.466
threw out Kennedy's order.
0:25:03.678,0:25:06.049
And since JFK, no president has dared
0:25:06.049,0:25:07.720
confront the secret powers
0:25:07.720,0:25:09.831
behind the Federal reserve.
0:25:10.280,0:25:12.880
They consolidate bigger and bigger banks.
0:25:12.880,0:25:14.672
Print more and more money,
0:25:14.672,0:25:16.187
accountable to no one.
0:25:16.187,0:25:18.095
Decimating our nation's wealth
0:25:18.095,0:25:19.977
for the benefit of a few.
0:25:20.655,0:25:22.445
Why? Why do this?
0:25:22.445,0:25:25.140
If they hurt us, it hurts the global bankers too.
0:25:25.140,0:25:26.347
No, Pile.
0:25:26.347,0:25:31.218
They are protected. They. Are too big to fail.

But I'm not.
0:25:35.199,0:25:37.399
Those sons of bitches!
0:25:37.812,0:25:40.952
Hm. Sons of bitches all.
0:25:47.089,0:25:48.342
The day was cold.
0:25:50.322,0:25:52.372
The wind sharp and strong.
0:25:55.044,0:25:56.814
But we were determined.
0:25:57.298,0:25:58.978
The bankers and their parasites
0:25:58.978,0:26:00.870
had us vastly outnumbered.
0:26:00.991,0:26:03.054
But their hubris made them weak.
0:26:03.054,0:26:04.586
cackling maniacally
0:26:04.903,0:26:05.968
Not like us.

0:26:07.544,0:26:09.226
Not like this band of immortals
0:26:09.226,0:26:10.570
we have assembled.
0:26:11.118,0:26:13.258
We have come to take back our...
0:26:13.681,0:26:15.860
Hartman? Is that?
0:26:16.568,0:26:18.297
My dog.
0:26:18.839,0:26:20.492
Oh sh*t.

0:26:23.094,0:26:24.423
Then the inevitable.
0:26:24.713,0:26:26.490
The money kings could ignore us
0:26:26.490,0:26:28.113
no longer.
0:26:28.113,0:26:29.976
They sent an emissary.
0:26:30.655,0:26:32.435
A cog in the machine of greed
0:26:32.435,0:26:34.232
to bring about our submission.
0:26:35.820,0:26:37.729
Hank. Paulson.
0:26:37.729,0:26:40.130
Hartman. This is blasphemy.
0:26:40.592,0:26:42.562
We own the corners of the Earth.
0:26:42.876,0:26:44.766
It is futile to challenge us.
0:26:45.853,0:26:48.323
Oh I've seen that look before.
0:26:48.569,0:26:51.409
That of a predator taking in the scent of its prey.
0:26:51.861,0:26:53.361
Bold. Fearless.
0:26:53.708,0:26:55.968
The look of a free man.
0:26:57.802,0:26:59.452
You have come far, Hartman.
0:26:59.847,0:27:01.217
Farther than most.
0:27:01.450,0:27:03.540
Be smart now. Join us.
0:27:03.943,0:27:05.333
We will bring you money.
0:27:05.423,0:27:06.293
Power.
0:27:06.459,0:27:07.819
Everything you want.
0:27:07.985,0:27:11.985
You can be one of us. If you will kneel.

You're a madman.
0:28:02.523,0:28:04.393
We're offering you everything.
0:28:04.690,0:28:06.340
What do you think this is?

This. Is. AMERICA.
