Housing Boom, Bust and Recovery in the 1930's
Stock market boom, crash. Housing bang, bust. Gold, paper, fiat money. It's all been done. What is old will be new again.

Peak Oil, Smoke and Mirrors
Featuring: Richard Heinberg, Colin Campbell, Michael Meacher MP, Julian Darley, Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, Philip J.Berg, Webster G. Tarpley, Andreas Von Beulow, David Shayler, Christopher Bollyn, Paul Roberts.
"Oil Smoke & Mirrors" offers us a sobering critique of our perceived recent history, of our present global circumstances, and of our shared future in light of imminent, under-reported and mis-represented energy production constraints.
Through a series of impressively candid, informed and articulate interviews, this film argues that the bizzare events surrounding the 9/11 attacks, and the equally bizzare prosecution of the so-called "war on terror", can be more credibly understood in the wider context of an imminent and critical divergence between available global oil supply and increasing global oil demand.
The picture "Oil, Smoke & Mirrors" paints is one of a tragically hyper-mediated global-political culture, which, for whatever reason, demonstrably disassociates itself from the values it claims to represent.
While the ideas presented in this film can at first seem daunting, it's ultimate assertion is that these challenges can indeed be met and perhaps surpassed if, but only if, we can find first the courage to perceive them.
The DVD, with 60 mins of additional interview material, can be purchased at www.OilSmokeAndMirrors.com.

Money as Debt
This is what Helicopter Ben really means when he talks about the money printing press. It is a debt process. Central bankers don't like gold (the barbaric metal) because gold is the only money that is not based on debt, therefore cannot be created from thin air. As a result, gold holds its value as other currencies evaporate into inflation.
