Monopoly Men, Money as Debt

Great showing last night. We had planned on watching a documentary on racism and segregation, but instead we reacted to the "bailout" that happened this week.

It is really hard to follow and certainly harder to explain what exactly is going on with the housing bubble, the economic collapse, and an impending depression. Words like stagflation, fractional reserve banking, derivative leveraging, Ponzi scheme, T-notes, and others are thrown around in financial circles. It's easier to just let the "experts" deal with this and tell us what's happening, but I don't trusting any "Fox News finance analyst" or anyone from the mainstream.

We watched (video link) Monopoly Men, which is from the Phenomenon series. One of the key speakers in the movie also made my favorite documentary ever, The Money Masters. Although Monopoly Men takes on a slant of a detective story in a very questionable "eerie" atmosphere, the facts were all there. That was a great way to start our night, the history behind it all. Then we moved on to the current crisis and how money works nowadays.

Next we listened to an 8 minute clip from Alex Jones show on 10-02-2008; a tipping point of financial America, the day before the "bailout" was signed. His name is Peter Schiff, here's a good video featuring this guy.



(You can look up the speech I showed you guys, it's on hour 4 of the Alex Jones Show, start about 6:30 and it goes for about an hour. Here's a link to the torrent.)

Then we saw a movie called (video link) Money as Debt, which is a Flash animation going over the 9:1 ratio of money allowed to be created per deposited. A little hard to follow at times, I've watched this at least 3 times and tend to get more and more out of it. Money as Debt website.

till next time.
over and out

911 Mysteries

I've skipped a few months, but this last Film & Justice night was worth noting. We had planned to show a 911 documentary disputing the official story of the demoli... err.. collapse of the buildings on September 11th, 2001.
Turns out we were able to show "911 Mysteries" on 9.11.2008.
The discussion was interesting, as we paused the movie at different intervals to review the "debunking" side. 911mysteriesguide.com is a source that goes over, minute by minute, the flaws and mistakes in logic it sees in the film. It was great to see both sides.
Thanks to all the showed and made the trip from Hilo.
I just read a really interesting article on the new official story of how building 7 fell. It's a brand new phenomenon called "thermal expansion" says the NIST. NIST claims that the collapse of Building 7 is “The first known instance of fire causing the total collapse of a tall building”.
Guess we're just learning new stuff about physics every day.

Islands at Risk - GMO in Hawaii

Although I fell sick to watch Islands at Risk, it was a good showing I heard. We had special speakers come and tell about the progress and methods to try to raise awareness.

Because of this showing, I've been taken into what's called Hawaii Seed whose job is to promote social awareness about the issue of GMOs in Hawaii.

World Without Cancer

Cancer a vitamin deficiency like scurvy? No way. Why haven't I been told about this, and is it really true?

That's for you to decide, ladies and gentlemen.

The theory is that our diet has been largely changed (perhaps domesticated) due to supermarkets, preservatives, and the latest theories on the important food groups and so on.. Are we missing a large part of our diet these days? Is there scientific cases showing that this might be the case?

In this interview-documentary, we listen and decide for ourselves.
