I find this the most succinct explanation of the current banking system used by most of the world...its focus being the U.S.
The Biggest Scam In The History Of Mankind
http://youtu.be/iFDe5kUUyT0The guy is big on gold and silver as a solution, but the important thing is he's been calling what we've been seeing for years, now.
Yet, gold and silver have themselves been shown to be price manipulated through time to contribute to leeching wealth.
It happens in cycles.
The video focuses primarily on the subject of the creation of 'money' so it can be useful in getting through to others one of the huge reasons they should consider crypto.
I'm not sure if I can agree entirely with all parts of the radical perspective, however I agree entirely that there is a systematic problem infecting the American economy (and many others that I am generally ignorant of), and that a decentralized currency is exactly that which can move to fixing the problem.
Radical?
The video is wrought with sophistry. Persuasive material that aims to persuade you regardless of whether or not it's true.
The problem is, I can't corroborate the claims in this video with facts and research so I can't really find out whats true and what isn't.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Maybe you could watch other vids in the series to find what you are looking for.
If you fear that would be too self-referential, I would start researching the cited quotes in the vid.
Don't expect it to be easy, although with the advent of the internet much information can be accessed, masters of controlling don't necessarily readily disclose to their flock how they control.
In science, for all intents and purposes, absence of evidence IS the evidence of absence, because it's the only thing that CAN be the evidence of absence.
In science, however, we give claims the benefit of the doubt as far as we try to discover if there is any evidence to the best of our ability, and now that's what I have to do to understand the situation properly so that I might fully corroborate the claims in this video for myself.
Absence of evidence where-you-are-looking (finite) is not evidence of absence everywhere (absolute).
Maybe that will clarify.
Science etymologically means "knowledge."
There is a difference between saying you don't know if something is true and saying it cannot be true because you do not have knowledge of it.
Sorry if I misinterpreted your words. Must be the critic in me.
Understandably, we have our own limitations of time, energy and resources, our own five senses and what instruments are at our disposal.
A key phrase to research is "fractional reserve banking."
How many scientists can well explain how our monetary system works? There need to be more, yes? Yes! xD
Less compartmentalization of knowledge.
Of course, however in the sciences the way they are conducted by us finite humans, if we can find no evidence for X, and either there IS evidence for Y, or Y is a simpler explanation that is more likely than X but there is no evidence for either, we dismiss X as untrue.
Why? Because if we didn't, we'd never be able to narrow anything down, and science wouldn't be able to progress.
The scientific process isn't perfect, but it's the closest thing to perfect we have ever been able to develop.
Given all things are ALWAYS up for re-evaluation given new evidence.
