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.
episode 2 is way out of sync
Terrific! Hilarious!
“This content is unavailable” – no love for Canada or what?
Everytime I try to load the part 1,2 and 4 of Asebt of Money I get an error saying content is not available. &3 works fine can you tell me why? Please
“This content is currently unavailable”. Could someone tell me why?
Obama is about to “nuke you” Lol. Permenently unavailable.
Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble….
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.
READ THE BOOK ON THE BEACH IN 2008 DECEMBER…………ON VACATION !
NIALL; GREAT WORK………

History does repeat itself, we are headed there again folks…. only a matter of time now …
Can we Puleeeeeze leave the issue of Jewish and non Jewishness out of this discussion…religion has little to none importance in this discussion.
The issue here is that this film is clearly and intentionally OBFUSCATING the ever so simple point of Waterloo with details details details…The Duke of this or Baron of that…toted some gold and silver by hand on a mule with only three legs and a big black spot on his left { not right ~ as a comminist would like you to belive} buttocks, and the gold was delivered in Algerian gunnysacks made of the finest eastern linen washed by the saliva of french hookers…etc etc…
Look ~ Mayer was clever . He used the timely information to take over the bank of England and then supposedly forced the British to allow him to print the money and lend it at interest…thus he then owned England outright.
Why could any details of how gold and or silver was delivered to the Duke of Worchester Sauce possibly interest us at this point ???
BEWARE !!! as with ALL economics “edumakationisms”…especially in hard times…OBFUSCATION is intentional and necessary to keep all those interested … Placated and satiated with fabulously sophisticated stories which pedestrian minds just can’t follow… tea ??? Crumpet??? syphilis???
NO applause…just throw money!
RE: The civil war and the cotton blockade…more Obfuscation…intentional confusing of the subject…Yes the Rothschild s were backing the north…so much that when they ask Abe Lincoln to pay upwards of 30% interest near the end of the war he started printing his own INTEREST FREE GREENBACKS …Any sitting U.S. president, as head of the treasury department has the authority to print United States Notes…unlike Federal Reserve Notes the public does not have to pay interest to a private corporation {The Federal Reserve} for their use.
Interestingly enough. With the exception of Andrew Jackson every president who has printed treasury notes has been assassinated. JFK printed just over $600 million in United States Notes ~ they have a blue seal and were hastily taken out of circulation. They can be found in pawn shops and coin shops around the country. They are more valuable than silver certificates altruistically…because they are the proof that JFK was printing American money!
OMG ! ! ! did this guy just say that a steady job was better than a landed title…{ with acreage!!!} I’m sorry but i can’t go on listening to this dribble…
With due respect ~ If any of the Rothschild s have financed this story telling…please get in touch with me…I can be quite a bit more convincing with just a little Ritalin and some of that fabulous Chateau Margo that y’all pour so well. or was it the Laffite??? a 69 or a 71 if memory serves…the Denver Petroleum Club ran out of it… gotta taste the wine others leave behind…
Chang Dow for now…

Great story on John Law. I had read about this somewhere before so it was interesting to get a different take on it.

Bravo! Ad hominem retort. I suppose it doesn’t fit your “magical thinking” economic ideas.
Hello,
I am disappointed as I am unable to view the documentary on-line. May I ask why not?
I live in Hong Kong…and are there any video which i can watch here in Hong KOng with subtitle?
The activities of John law is intriguing. What is the real reason for boom bust cycle…not clear. Could it be a combination of fractional reserve banking based on erroneous concept of money as commodity/ a debt and charging compound interest (usury) on credit issued out of thin air.
Bond means government are bonded slave of bankers (see war bonds) and privatised central banks insured bonds are repaid. http://conscious-capitalism.blogspot.com
that John Law chap would have made a great Fed chairman ;)
