To Govern a Republic, One Must Know the Minds That Created It ...while a nation goes speculation crazy the people neglect to think of fundamental principles.
These were the words of Franklin Roosevelt in the months leading into the Democratic National Convention of 1932.
Roosevelt knew that the fight for the United States Presidency was not simply a game of political machines and punditry, but that this coming fight demanded a leader who understood the historic enemy of the United States and the founding principles of the nation.
Sorry for the typos. "bad trait" instead of bat. "well" instead of welling ...and any others I missed.
I wouldn't be surprised if some parts were inaccurate but also that some if not many parts are accurate.
FDR did as much harm as good, creating a new kind of govt slave or welfare class. I appreciate much of what @DC Jones had to say. Putting one's faith in any govt or politician is a mistake.
Who ever you are, do you need govt to do the right thing? Or would you be attempting to take every advantage and take advantage of everyone you could?
The monied and powerful use govt as a tool to take advantage; get laws passed or rewritten in their favor. They corrupt the police and the courts as a tool against the little guys in their way. I have witnessed all of this first hand, friends getting their neck stepped on by corporate interests via their minions in govt, far worse than I. Appellate courts playing cover for the lower court blatant fraud and even stupid judges colluding with corporate attorneys using the wrong laws which clearly don't apply, all on tape, yet no one cares. You can find online, writings from retired judges detesting what the courts have become. Ever increasingly over the years, the laws are written to benefit the govt itself as well as the lawyers, both which use those laws to "lawfully" extract sums of money from the populace. Both the govt and lawyers have always been parasitic. Either the older one gets the more you are able to see it or they decided not to hide it any more and just went for who they truly are, leaving yet more ruins in their wake.
What has caused govt and govt to become what it does? People who agree with those who say, "I'm from the govt, let us do that for you (for a fee)." If you are the type to say, "I don't want to be bothered with arranging for security and utilities and schools and justice system and care of the truly needy in your community, then you are the problem. It is lack of citizen involvement and oversight which has allowed them to become the overbearing eavesdropping money grubbing propaganda producing behemoth that govt has become.
Note that the film cited "Anarchists" as being the assassins more than once. Were they? And what is an Anarchist? To me a true Capitalist and a true Anarchist aren't that different in practice, both preferring to be left alone by govt to trade with their neighbor or whomever without govt interference. The major difference is that the Capitalist is willing to accept a minimalist govt as a necessary evil for some practical reasons. The Anarchists have had their fill of govt and view them as an Unnecessary evil for some very practical reasons. At any rate don't be fooled by the term Anarchist. They are not evil and don't want what you may think of when the words "total anarchy" are used.
For instance, suppose there was no govt which facilitates the stealing of your future tax obligations to give to dead broke banksters who gambled away money they created as debt, multiplied by excessive leverage via fractional reserve banking (all legal via banking lobby promoted banking laws in congress). Such a govt gave your future tax obligations to foreign banks in the many billions as well. Such a govt gave billions to strengthen your foreign enemies who have clearly stated they want to kill you. How does such a govt benefit you? Is it possible to prevent any welling meaning govt from becoming such an evil govt viewing you as its slave and enemy at the same time? If you can devise such a sure fire rock solid way to prevent a minimalist govt from becoming a maximal govt... prevent it from intruding and infecting itself into every aspect of everyone's life, then you may be able to convince a few Anarchist to that which you have devised and limited. Yet the usa govt was to be limited. How did it grow to become what it is? It took up every bat trait of those it surpassed. From this docu it is easy to see the English influence, they funneled many a nazi into the cia and nasa and likely other agencies. The nsa has evolved into the new kgb. All these things are against the constitution. So how did it come to be? 1. propaganda and limited information they call "the news" 2. people preferring to "let govt handle things" 3. the usual suspects looking to take advantage: banksters, lawyers, large corporate ceo's, the same being war profiteers. 4. marxist infection of the education system paid for by those who desired "workers not thinkers" (Rockefeller and others similar)
What happened to the usa? You forgot the "u" in the usa. U gathering together united to see to it wise honorable decent people were running from all parties for all offices to guide the ship through the straights and narrows. Instead U let criminals, and too often your direct enemies run things. If you can help it, never elect a lawyer to anything. Most of them have been compromised in their schooling to have "flexible"(questionable) morality and ethics. "All's fair if money is to be had."
Again, major media is corporate owned and therefore propaganda. Find truly independent sources of information lest you vote for your enemy which the major media claims is your friend. Even many of the local more rural papers are owned by just a few companies these days.
Made up crap...do not waste your time
Excellent documentary. I enjoyed it immensely. It explains how the US came to be an oligarchy. The British are still experts at covert manipulation and dirty dealing.
"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]-that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people;" -- Abraham Lincoln
Hamilton was an elitist and cut from the same cloth as the European aristocracy. Madison was also an elitist, considering people of his class as the more responsible members of society, and as such, only his class of men with property and wealth should control America, but he recognized the need for some check on the power of the wealthy to maintain enough of a balance between the haves and the have nots, or the population would inevitably revolt. This was the idea that prevailed during the writing of the US Constitution during the Philadelphia Convention. Hamilton's views were so radically pro elitist, that even for the elite they went too far. Having esteem for any politician, even for the best of them is a huge mistake.
Roosevelt was indeed a far better president than most, but his idea of (alleged) benevolent imperialism in developing the countries of the world that colonialism had impoverished was still imperialism. He knew that Japan, a warrior/samurai culture was not going to fold up it's tents and leave China, Manchuria, Korea, etc., and the embargo implemented by Roosevelt to deny Japan resources like scrap iron and steel, but especially oil would force Japan to seize the oilfields of the Dutch East Indies and lead to war. Freezing Japans assets, the lend lease program, and loads of other evidence shows clearly that Roosevelt intended to involve America in WW II.
America should never have exported oil in the first place. Oil is wealth. What the energy of oil produces is wealth that has been spent. Products and services are what is being bought. Exporting oil or natural gas is in reality the effort by the status quo to deprive everyone else in America from spending that wealth. When machines can build machines to provide everyone with what they need, people must constantly be barraged with propaganda/advertising to get them to work, work, work, for things they don't need.
Governments are by the rich for the rich, and the only way they can be rich is for them to keep everyone occupied working. China builds ghost cities and fills up Americas landfills with junk to keep it's population occupied. The Egyptions built huge piles of rocks in the dessert for the same reason. America builds prisons, creates wars and the enormous military industrial complex, the insanely pervasive security/police apperatus and the parasitic lawyer/judicial/swindle system to keep people occupied or oppressed. Jobs and growth is all polititions know when it should have been clear at least twenty or thirty years ago that "progress" had reached the point of diminishing returns, but the rich and powerful in their hubris couldn't and never will realize that they are not special, and never have been. They must control everybody according to the Game Theory they force us all to live by, or other psychopaths like them lacking empathy will control them. They are certainly not enlightened, and prevent any enlightenment to the extent that people can't even see they are work, work, working to their early demise though it's not far in front of them.
I suppose the parasites think that it is only right that the foolers run the world, and it's those that they fool that are too stupid to manage there own affairs let alone everyones, who are at the root of our problems.
The foolers fool themselves by keeping people in the dark and then blaming them for having to be led around obstacles they can't clearly see, but the worst of them it appears have the persona of a vampire that lacks even contempt, seeking only gain, and are indifferent to the species that mental illness separates them from.
I like History and I do think that,school children should see this.
Hi, I'm one of the creators of this film, and just wanted to say thanks for all of the discussion. I'm glad to see it provoked so much discussion, on and off topic. -Spencer Cross
The whole documentary, I couldn't get past the narrators voice. He sounded like Chakotay from Star Trek. The the credits rolled: narrated by Robert Beltran. Too awesome.
This is not as crazy as it sounds. Wherever the English went they took 'lebensraum" as Hitler called it..."living space". They took Scotland. forced the Irish out of their own land (and culture and language), same to the Welsch , removed the Native Americans from coastal North America and took over the black African Slave trade from the Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese, forced the French Canadians out of Nova Scotia (more lebensraum); took India, Nigeria and set up Australia as a big penal colony. The British are looked upon as so civilized but they have brought so much misery to the world (I forgot Palestine, Iraq and Egypt). In the long run of history the English will be looked upon the same way we look at the Nazis today. As gluttons for the land and resources of others , whatever the cost to those others.
Whatever the pro`s and cons of this documentary, you Know you are a True American if you believe in a fair and equitable society and not one that makes gain from those it pretends to protect and nurture. I believe that the only valid supporters of America and Freedom are those that not only subscribe to the principals of the constitution, but those who are willing to protect it at all costs, anything less would be as much support for its abolition, through the simple act of Apathy.
If you're a conspiracy nut, you'll probably enjoy this documentary. If your interest in history is more serious, don't waste your time.
Excellent history lesson of how the USA got to be as it is today...
This is all related to the federal reserve conspiracy. The assassination attempt on Jackson, the assassinations of McKinney, Lincoln, JFK, were ALL perpetrated by the same interests.
This is all the connected to the federal reserve conspiracy.
Larouchian drivel. Please ignore!
Look at the credits: Lyndon Hermyle LaRouche, Jr., enough said.
to criticize this effort over minor errata of minutiae if the worst kind of folly. yes, there is all too brief attention payed to some factors, as well as an obsession with laying blame at the feet of the brits alone. but the majority of the information in this film can be read as a roadmap of what led us to the dire straits both economical and political we find ourselves in worldwide. it also offers a signpost that points out a road to recovery for all. the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few bleeds us all dry. the manipulations and speculations that make that possible do us all harm. the myth that allowing further concentration into the hands of those few will somehow benefit us all in the long run is a falsehood. privatization only benefits those few. currently, the power rests in the hands of those few, both economic, and political. you will get no relief from their frontmen, no matter what political affiliation they claim. the time has come for siezing the power from them, and their puppets. not with guns, not with bombs, but with words, actions, organization and unity of purpose. in short, grassroots effort to claim the politics of our lands, worldwide. grassroots efforts to bring honesty and realistic expectations that are sustainable to both business and industry, worldwide. find honest, unimpeachable locals, and convince them to lead. find honest, unimpeachable locals, and convince them to organize. the time is right, if we all make the effort, we can win the world. just imagine the world we would live in now, had the cold war never happened, and all that effort had been put into betterment of the world for all. we can make that world a reality, if we try.
Never seen world history from this point of view before....must say I found it very interesting. It explains a lot in my mind. And a lot of todays Euro and Greek crisis.
lol!! 5:30 seconds in and already have spotted like 5 errors! The English didnt force the Chinese to smoke Opium? and it didnt bankrupt the country or the people. (read Narcotic Culture: A History of Drugs in China, or Opium: A History by Booth) -anyway, point is it is full of simplifications and exaggerations ans outright lies already; all clear indicators it's propaganda. I am sure there is much truth sewn in but life is in the details my friend, the details. Read a quality history book and you'll earn that
Goebbels would be most proud. A complete work of fiction from start to finish. Absolutely useless as a historical document.
Sorry for the second statemant but. TO SUGGEST THAT BISMARCK AND WILLHELM WHERE FAILURES? The Germans not only rivaled the world and threatened to take it over not once but TWICE! to immagine anything other to this point is to allow it to happen aggain. Bismark and Wilhelm were geniuses unmatched with the simple fact as being mortal, they could not see future events! To take away from Germanys rightful place as not a superior race but a DEFFINATE geological and influential POWER not only then! but even in the 20th century and still today! GREECE NEEDS GERMANY TO BAIL THEM OUT! Anything less than observation is pure stuppidity!
i have seen this Doc. before. I decided to watch it again. For the Hobbiest Historian, you are doing yourself harm believing all this in its entirety. FACT 1 : As far as the slaves and man creating anything. Man has of yet, not created anything! The closest we have come is changing mass to energy. We cannot change energy into mass, and everything else is simply changing what is, into something else. FACT 2 : pertaining to an sceme of the British Empire takeing cotton to sell to Inda and then to China for Heroin. The story is correct as far as the East India company, however these were all different buisnesses, to exclaim or even make a conclussion that it was the British Empires Intent? Such as the British Empire fell slave to the BANK OF ENGLAND, So America at that time was fighting it; It has no factual basis of concludeing that the Empire, The Crown, or anything other than the East Indian trading company was involved. FACT 3 : It was the Bank of England that gave the money to Napolean, who inturn raped pillaged and pludered Europe to only again loan the money to defeat him and get all of it back + interest, setting up the Louisiana purchase and all the following events of buying something thats not anyones in the first place. WITH THAT SAID! Sure there was obviously corruption going on. BLAME THE BANK OF ENGLAND!
Regardless if you believe all the details prescribed in this documentary, one thing is obvious, throughout all of mans history, there has always been an element of manipulation by the elite wealthy to shape and control the future of man with the intent to rule the world.
We are constantly being lied to, class warfare has always existed, most world leaders are related, banks fund and create wars and our leaders are not out of control..quite the opposite, they are just out of our control.
Very Interesting!
I have to wonder why history is being so manipulated to make the democratic powers look like the enemy? when freedom is only had in that system. Makes me wonder if there are not more at work now in the Mideast than is observable by the normal historical perspective? The powers of darkness are rearing their heads again in ways we had not been aware of.
