Wait a minute. You're telling me that this is why Dan Brown was discredited?!?

On a related note. I actually have an acquaintence that SAW the commercial airliner crash into the Pentagon. The conspiracy theories are wrong.
But I will watch these videos, at least as much as they keep me interested
I have a very interesting book that is fairly old called "None dare call it conspiracy". I have an open mind, still, on this sort of stuff.

I haven't looked at the videos, so don't know how "out there" they are. However, I was already convinced that the little guy will be intentionally screwed by those who control the economy's rudder, even if the rudder doesn't work so well. It may come down to an overnight bank asset freeze and currency devaluation, a la Argentina. That's why I was originally on the fence about selling my house. If cash is devalued by half, say, house prices should double, less some percentage due to potential buyers being suddenly poorer.
More likely the solution to prevent the country's dissolution will be a combination of things, including no new social security recipients except for the hardest luck cases (but you'll still pay SSN taxes), higher age limits for withdrawing 401K money and higher penalties for early withdrawal (both to keep people working until they die, which is why I no longer contribute), opening the floodgates to immigration, higher personal & capital gains taxes, high inflation, etc. The only question remaining for my planning is whether other countries will be hit hard enough that it isn't worth escaping the sinking boat. I suspect yes.

I watched it as far as where he said all the news anchors were reading a script they were given. It is interesting to read about how much influence special interests actually have, and how those come together and interact, but only if it doesn't suppose that the people involved are automatons doing the bidding of the cabal.
If people are really concerned that there is a conspiracy to put this country into debt to powerful corporations, then they are doing a very odd thing by supporting a leader with no experience running or investigating anything. Just "community organizing."
