The American Dream
The American Dream is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you've been scammed by the most basic elements of the government system.
From the author: All of us Americans strive for the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away. Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day?
The American Dream takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today.
You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track.
I show this video in my Economics Classes. I've been showing it for years, now, and every time I watch it (well over 100 times, now) I see something new. Just yesterday, I noticed, for the first time, Hardman dropping the illuminati sign in the Twilight Zone scene.
Is there a website that has ALL of the symbolism contained in the cartoon?
Great job by the creators.
great docu 8.9/10
Only one thing missing, the Fed Reserve is run by the Jews.
This documents is very interesting but the producer either does not know anything about Economy or he wanted something else. Do not forget that MONEY acts as a medium for direct barter system. Yes Bank created some money out of thin air but without goods & services money has nothing to do in the economy further government can take necessary action to reduce money circulation in an economy. Any individual or organizations need debts to acquire something in the present rather than waiting for necessary funds to get accumulated, sometime by the time you saved that money today that amount is not enough to buy that particular goods for prevailing market rate.
Government imposed taxes not because they want to steal your hardly earned money but to fund the other public goods + subsidiaries which free market economy is not keen on those. Any government or Federal can print money but if that particular economy is not growing then it will cause inflation to balance the supply & demand that is why government should be there to control the circulation of money. Money should back by proper amount of goods & services to be exchange without G&S money has nothing to do in an economy. also note that Money has major functions :
1. Medium of exchange 2. A Unit of account 3. To act as a store of value 4. Standard of deferred payment (which means that its status as legal tender allows it to function for the discharge of debts)
This documentary just talks about the last but that is also only partly true
The uninformed or preoccupied people, by no fault of their own, are holding back those that are awake. Let's hope more creative ways such as this clip becomes part of the education to the truth of how the world really works. Those who want to fast track their research with the red pill, YouTube Jordan Maxwell and David Icke.
Welcome to the beginning of true knowledge!
To Nick:
I
think you missed some points. Economics
don’t call it inflation, they call it the inflation tax. The increase in currency (not
money) devalues everyone’s savings and their fixed debt if the interest rate is lower than the inflation rate. If you
have variable rate debt (credit cards, lines of credit, etc. ) or a fixed rate higher than the rate of inflation your real debt increases. If
you have savings and the rate of interest is lower than the rate of inflation,which it always is, you lose purchasing power. (Example: savings interest rate 1%, inflation 3%, your real interest rate is -2%) you lose 2% purchasing power. Deflation is an issue if you are a net debtor like so many Americans and the federal government because your real debt will grow. It will benefit net savers but that isn’t most of America so it will cause financial hardship for the poorest who can afford it least. Regardless of inflation or deflation at the end of the day the American people will still pay interest and continue to lose purchasing power. The point the film is making is 1) our
constitution states only the government may issues money not currency. 2) our currency is being issued by the federal reserve, a private corporation that charges interest to us for something our government could do without the interest expense 3) Income tax was levied in 1913 in conjunction with the formation of
the Fed as collateral for the central bank to issue the currency 4) The central bank makes currency with journal entries and a printing press and turn around and charge the American people interest for currency they create at not cost and ehich isn’t backed by any assets or anything of value 5) The printing presses and journal entries that
expand the money supply drive inflation, which devalues your savings and your labor.
The film referred to JFK’s plan for the US Government to
issue currency. That would be a great first step since we (America) would no longer have to pay interest to the central
bank for currency we could print currency interest free ourselves. One other point, Jackson, Abraham Lincoln who
was supported by the Tsar of Russia, and JFK all stood against the central banks…..
The final point they are making very clearly is too many of
us are not willing to fight for the liberties our founding fathers bequeathed us and our politicians sold for a few dollars and a little power….. Until we unite as a peopled and show the same
courage our ancestors demonstrated we will continue to be victimized. and as Jefferson said : will wake up homeless on the continent that their fathers conquered

I've enjoyed this clip schools need to teach the truth instead of lying. The director needs to do one on FEMA CAMPS & agenda 21. Make it laughable the human sheep believe in lies from cradle to grave & will never know whose controlling ALL.
Does anyone know by any chance; who the author is? I'm doing a causal argument paper for my college class and I chose this as my documentary to go over. I need to know the authors name for my citation and annotated bibliography.
So let me get this straight. The message is that inflation is an artificial process meant to make us poor since it decreases our spending power (even though inflation also decreases any outstanding debts we owe... meaning we don't have to pay as much back on borrowed money). So we should...what exactly? Try to deflate our money? Magically keep it the same value? Go back to the gold standard? The general consensus among economists is that a slow inflation of currency has the most beneficial side effects of any of those options (and it's impossible to avoid inflation or deflation from happening at all).
The other message is that the big bad fed is uncontrolled by the government... so we should hand control of it over to the politicians? That will go over great for our economy every time a senator lowers interest rates and jacks up the inflation artificially to gain votes. No thanks.
This "documentary" was a mess. Half truths, designed deceit, and tacky humor. 1/10 stars.
Much needed message that will (no doubt) fall on deaf ears!!!!
Fantastic job providing a wealth of knowledge and wisdom in a concise timeframe! Loved it
Gotta do some research now.
There was a time in American history when public education equipped people with the intellectual tools necessary to have productive discussions about their country; most people were familiar with the founding principles of their nation and how to vanguard them. As this trend came to an end in the early 20th century discourse and national consciousness gradually became scattered and incoherent, making it increasingly difficult for Americans to separate fact from fallacy.
Great video, I loved the hotties!
This happened to me and Wells Fargo Home Mortgage with my bank!
I agree that most of this stuff is not presented well to our children and future leaders. It is not only our schools job but the parents as well to look and provide information about our civic duty as citizens. We all need to start doing our part as citizens and spread this information with the technology we have today and be grateful that we have the opportunity to speak up about important issue like this.
They have never taught these facts in schools, they never will. This movie signals what has happened to America and the world. Only wars are left to settle the debt!
Not sure what I thought of that to be honest.
I get the general premise that debt = money, the Fed prints money for free while normal people have to work hard for it, and this is outrageously unjust.
But I think it kind of trailed off into unnecessary melodrama based on little fact. I mean, what was the ending about exactly?
Also the weird and completely pointless and sexist depiction of women irritated me a bit. I mean, every single female in the film was silent and in a bikini being casually treated like a sex toy and contributing nothing to the documentary. It seems like the filmmakers just chucked them in for comic relief - pretty sick really.
The level of dishonesty, ignorance and half-truths in this movie is sick. Kennedy's executive order simply transferred the already existing President's power to the Treasury and Kennedy supported the elimination of silver notes. The Fed is a creation of an act of Congress and signed by the President, like any other act of Congress and can be abolished or changed on a simple majority vote. It's members are determined by that act with 1/2 selected by member banks and 1/2 appointed by government much like members of the cabinet. The Gold standard period was some of the worst economic times in the US history with very frequent and long lasting depressions and recessions. The fastest growth in real terms of US growth was the two decades after WWII. This in contrast to the past historical fact that most wars in history have been followed by very poor growth. No substance at all.
One can certainly not be happy with the Fed and it could do better, but to actually want to return to a strict gold standard would be an economic disaster. Its every bit as idiotic as the economic stupidity of Ayn Rand and her deluded acolytes.
its not just government thats the problem .governments were created because punishment reward and authority were used by people
Admit it.. It's too late to change the "system." We're riding a fast train to one of the biggest wrecks in modern history. Greed, on every level, got us!
The last thing needed is to turn this into a political debate. Political allegiance only divides the people. It is more important and beneficial to focus on the serious issues in the documentary than to focus on the political implications, which only inspire "in the box" thinking
Finally a video I can show to my uneducated cohorts who have little attention span for all the research it takes to learn about fractional reserve banking, the fed, the rosthchild dynasty.. their unscrupulous deeds, and the puppet politicians screwing us over daily.
Great Animated Documentary!
everyone must rebolt. dont work. dont pay taxes. dont purchase anything new. dont pay your bill nor your mortage. a short period of this all banks and "federal reserve" will fail. we have the power. we buy the products, we stand by and watch this happen. when is it enough. when a loaf of bread is $30.00??? REBOLT!!!
Where this diverged from reality was where half way through when all banks were conflated and the stupid rothschild conspiracy canard was revived for no reason.
Here are some debunks:
- Inflation happens even with a gold standard, we just have less control over it.
- The Fed may have a quirky structure but ultimately the President chooses the board members.
- The real reason you are all losing your houses in the USA is because the banking system was deregulated and investment banks were allowed to do things that savings and loans banks used to have the exclusive rights to do, and vice versa. All the crazy cycles of scandals and schemes since the late 70s have originated from that. The sub-prime securities contagion horror was a particularly bad instance.
Ultimately this is a political issue; one which the great democracy of the USA has not been able to get through in a way that put its people first. And in that sense there is a kind of tentacled banking sector menacing you, however it's got its tentacles in congress and it's not bloody rothschild for goodness' sake. What should have happened was a debt jubilee like in Iceland. The good thing about fiat money is that if administered in the true democratic interest, its insubstantial nature can be an advantage - because it makes it very easy to say "with a wave of my icy lesbian prime ministerial wand I now proclaim that all mortgages be reduced to 90% of the post-GFC value of the properties, rather than 180% or whatever they may be". GAME reset, PEOPLE preserved. In Ireland and the USA and elsewhere, it's PEOPLE reset to square one, GAME (banks and money) preserved.
They are government employees that work there ,yes but what the film is saying is correct for one , we do have to pay the fed for printing money , why , the fed was taken back from bankers in the past then lost again , kennedy wanted the fed back , besides getting out of vietnam but thats another story we all know what happend there , dont we . my question do we really know what gos on AT THE FED , behind closed doors , DO YOU !
