Another video you should watch is Aaron Russo's America Freedom to Fascism.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')ichael Tsarion, Jordan Maxwell

These guys don't really focus on Fed Reserve or the money system, they are just pissed off about it. (At least what I've read and heard from Tsarion)
I would suggest holding off looking these guys up until you are somewhat familiar with the other material. Tsarion would would be a good next step when you want to rethink our whole history here on the earth. Mind opening, inspirational, challenging.

Two good books on the NWO perspective 'The Syndicate' and 'The Unseen hand'. It is an interesting ideas but it is mainly right wing paranoia.

Thanks for the links and advice to everyone, I have ordered "Web of deceit" as its up to date, published in 2007. I will also check out all the videos.

Its funny, three years ago, when I discovered peak oil, my world view came crashing down. Now having discovered this topic, I am almost going through the same swing-set of emotions, but to a lesser extent. There is also a bit of "Why am I not surprised..." that underlies them.

I did an economics degree which I never finished due to various reasons. But, while doing it I always suspected there was something not quite right there. Like an issue was being skirted around. But I cant say what it is... I should've paid more attention.

I wonder how accurate are the economic theories being taught in universities? I recently spoke to an American undergraduate in economics who assured me that a degree of debt was a good thing, yet did not realise that the US is 9 trillion $ in debt.

But this may be off topic in this forum :)

I'm not averse to Greider's "Secret's of the Temple"; considered a fluff piece by many. It's a "guy inside the 'system'"- kind of view. One which no matter how much he may deny the conspiratorial aspects of the system's nature, he just keeps seeming to confirm it time and again as he tries to guardedly unfold the tale. I've had that book since it came out in '87 and I keep it as yardstick of sorts.

Oliveoil, you need "Web of Debt" instead of "Web of Deceit". My favorite "pop" book (as opposed to academics) on the subject though I haven't read many or widely.

A few "Dummies" books on economics, banking and investments.
Eustace Mullins' "Secrets"
Murray Rothbard's Fed work.
Greider's book.
Griffin's book.
.pdf files of Sutton's work.

This is about the extent for me except for textbooks and roundabout works e.g. Stiglitz as an academic and Perkins or Estulin as an adventurer.

I too share the fascination with this as you do.

Have you checked out Stewart Swerdlow? Thought I don't buy everything he says he's the most spectacular of the bunch by far.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'H')ave you checked out Stewart Swerdlow?

Never heard of him. Haven't got to Maxwell either yet.
Spent about 9 hours across a number of days watching Tsarion though and still trying to digest. Too much info, ufortunately not enough backed up in his claims/statements.
I however enjoy watching this as it fits well with theories (by geologists etc who checked weathering etc.) of the Sphinx, pyrmaids etc being much oler than officially acknowledged. + Other huge structures being found, i.e. 10,000 +year old underwater platform pyramids off Japan etc etc. History does not seem to be quite as it is told in school.

Also seen some stuff with Icke. Liked Tsarion better.
Icke's videos tries to play more on emotions and some of his sources haven't been checked at all. He takes a lot at face value and expect others to do the same.

Homesteader, you can find that book + much more with Icke using edonkey. I've DL's amongst other the one you mentioned, just haven't had time to check it out.

Actually, the USA is 53 trillion dollars in debt if you count social security and all the other potential liabilities that are coming into the picture:

Tsarion's all over the place and not very focused. He doesn't cite sources most of the time.

Jordan Maxwell is pretty intense and offers some information.

Erich von Daeniken talks about the history of civilizations and carbon dating, etc. Pretty interesting stuff too.

I'm looking at a Stewart Swerdlow video now on google. Looks interesting.

Yes, most definitely fringe but these guys start to tie it all together once the newbies go thru the initial phase of "OMG! The system is a scam?!" Then begins the search for, "Why are things like this??".

The real pioneers in heavy research and much kudos and respect have to go to these folks:

Antony Sutton:

Wall Street & the Rise of Hitler by Antony C. Sutton

Wall Street & the Bolshevik Revolution by Antony C. Sutton


Carroll Quigley:

Tragedy & Hope: A History of the World in Our Time by Carroll Quigley (Hardcover - Jun 1975)

Anglo-American Establishment by Quigley Carroll (Paperback - Jun 1981)

EVOLUTION OF CIVILIZATIONS, THE by Carroll Quigley (Paperback - Aug 1, 1979)

Yes, so he said. And in fact, he didn't see it as something bad.

There are a lot of theories going around. The alien agenda probably has a lot to do with how gov'ts have been behaving over the eons. Seeing that we are most likely alien hybrids ourselves, this wouldn't surprise me.

Zeitgeist

Postby Carlhole » Mon 06 Oct 2008, 18:48:42

http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/eye2.jpg
Zeitgeist Addendum
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')elcome to the Official Site for 'Zeitgeist, the Movie' (2007) & its sequel 'Zeitgeist: Addendum' (2008). Since the emergence of the project in late June, 2007, many other websites, organizations and posts have fallaciously claimed connections to the works.

'Zeitgeist, The Movie' and 'Zeitgeist: Addendum' were created as Not-for-Profit expressions to communicate what the author felt were highly important social understandings which most humans are generally not aware of. The first film focuses on suppressed historical & modern information about currently dominant social institutions, while also exploring what could be in store for humanity if the power structures at large continue their patterns of self-interest, corruption, and consolidation.

The second film, Zeitgeist: Addendum, attempts to locate the root causes of this pervasive social corruption, while offering a solution. This solution is not based on politics, morality, laws, or any other "establishment" notions of human affairs, but rather on a modern, non-superstitious based understanding of what we are
and how we align with nature, to which we are a part. The work advocates a new social system which is updated to present day knowledge, highly influenced by the life long work of Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project.

Relevant to our current economic crisis. Lots on oil.

It's kinda wacky, folks, but worth a watch.
