Extremely annoying music added on at the end! I don't think you should mess with someone else's documentary like that. I think it's obnoxious, whoever "truth tv" is.

Gold is around $940. 940 over 50 = 18.8Nothing can be "inflation proof" (in terms of price) if its price is tied to an inflationary currency! The price is the ratio of the two values.Gold holds its *purchasing power* vs. the dollar, and that's WHY the market price goes up. Gold is not appreciating because it suddenly became more scarce; rather, the dollar supply increases so it takes more of them to buy the same commodity.Gold can't be fiat-ed; the Dow can. Paper wealth is 100% at risk!

when you observe an increase in price you must question the context; that is the monetary instrument and its properties and mechanisms.

So from 1968 to 2000 the intrinsic value of gold remained the same, however, the monetary instrument that measures it's value per unit of that instrument decreased in purchasing power. Therefore, $50 was able to buy a certain about of gold in 1968, but with a decrease in the purchasing power of the dollar $500 is now required to purchase the same amount of gold.

The price of gold has only increase 5x from 1968 to 2000 from $50 to $300. (excluding today price because we are in a hiper inflation period).However if I buy a house in 1968 or a share of a company in the dow my money would have got more than 5x. In fact the dow was 1000pts vs now 12000 pts which is 12x. So holding gold is not better. It is not inflation proof. How do you explain that?

I read Edward Griffin's book The Creature from Jekyll Island. It is a great book explaining this into depth. I recommend this book to anyone, because we do need to be informed. If I can handle it at 14-years-old, adults can handle it, too.

you give them the power, cause you allow them to be there.You hate to hear it cause you know is true.Don't try to take your responsibility away.You have to educate the masses... and that's the hardest part of all.People has to be educated, but people is uneducated enought so that they don't have any interest about being educated.Must people don't give a shit about how this things work... they just want a big mac.

I hate when people say that WE has given them the power, NO NO NO THEY have empower themselves to do this. WE didnt tell them to go and brake the LAW. THEY decided to Mislead us with misinformation, THEY has manipulated the system, THEY has control the media to disrupt public opinion through ridicule. THEY has shot down every person who challenge them, THEY ARE THE ONES COMMITING CRIMES. NOT WE, OK?

Be assured that as soon as our "rulers" have used the web to sufficiently data mine us to our detriment, they will remove what freedoms the web yet enjoys.Ron Paul and free speech are the establishment's worst enemies, hence our fully owned and controlled media of the past hundred years.

In fact the Rockefeller Reps and Morgan Dems not only cartelized banking they now control, but every other industry you can mention via the banks huge controlling shareholding of most all corporations, especially the largest.
