***** The Money Masters 217 min, seen by 10s of millions, 1995, Bill Stills, a Libertarian account of the banking system.  I have spent hours confirming the suspect points of the film.  It was carried on independent PBS station in 2002 and in 2008.  Strong on history and education, it shows how the financial system functions to maximize profits, while pretending to provide essential services, and in so doing controls the economy.  The federal banks have the power to crash an economy through controlling the demand for federal debt obligations (mostly T-bills), this entails that they are above control.  The solution is to go from a debt based currency (debt to national banks and member banks) to a fiat currency issued by government and free of interest payments.  Currently over $800 billion per year is paid on interest by the US government, plus a similar amount by states and local governments, and again by businesses and citizens. Over 40% of GDP consists of the financial sector. The film covers the consequences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDtBSiI13fE  Notes on film at http://www.skeptically.org/bhe/id3.html.   What the rulers hide, A must see

Teddy Roosevelt's advice: "We must drive the special interests out of politics. The citizens of the United States must effectively control the mighty commercial forces which they have themselves called into being. There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains."
