Great content and camera work (one location in Episode 1 was a block away from my crib) Very effective teaching aid. Looking foreword to next installment.

This isn’t working on my computer! :( :( It was working the other night so I saved it to watch it later, and now it’s not! Whyyyyyyyyyyy

This video is extremely important, as it is said ” You can’t expect to know where you are going until you know where you have been”.

This is excellent work. The educational component is also very wel done.

Nice to see that Ferguson dispelled the salacious rumor about the Rothschilds and by proxy Jews in general. I met Jacob once and he was an absolutely first rate individual.

Both informative AND entertaining… Unfortunately, the vast majority of the “Tea Party” crowd, or basically most of the folks who watch “FOX NEWS” wouldn’t be capable of grasping the lessons here. What a tragedy.
