{\an8}EL SUEÑO AMERICANO, 2010
THE AMERICAN DREAM FILM
DOCUMENTAL
BY TAD LUMPKIN, HAROLD UHL
1
00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:15,970
Sold
2
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:19,670
Loan
3
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,060
Pile
4
00:00:34,490 --> 00:00:36,110
The American Dream.
5
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,450
There's a reason they call it a dream.
6
00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:41,520
Who's there?
7
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,720
Cock-a-doodle-do, pal.
8
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:50,940
Foreclosed
9
00:00:48,850 --> 00:00:50,780
No, no, no!
10
00:00:51,010 --> 00:00:52,620
I don't have any more money.
11
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,430
My job sucks right now.
12
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:56,750
Please! I'll have more money next month.
13
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,940
Bank
14
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:00,710
You can't take my house!
15
00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:02,320
Is that your signature?
16
00:01:02,010 --> 00:01:02,810
Loan
17
00:01:04,510 --> 00:01:07,090
Okay. Well, just help me work something out, okay?
18
00:01:07,140 --> 00:01:09,030
I mean, you said I'm a good credit guy, right? I mean...
19
00:01:09,090 --> 00:01:12,050
Hey, wait!
My dog is in there!
20
00:01:12,050 --> 00:01:15,000
No! Don't take my Dream!
21
00:01:18,330 --> 00:01:20,520
Oh, how did this happen?
22
00:01:27,970 --> 00:01:29,990
Hartman? Is that you?
23
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,630
Been a long time since the fourth grade.
24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,930
4th Grade
25
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:43,310
Is that a time machine?
26
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,840
There's no need to concern yourself with my stunning accomplishments.
27
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:47,800
Best get in.
28
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,150
There's not much time.
29
00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:52,360
I've got to go down to the bank and get my life back.
30
00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:53,980
They took everything.
31
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,630
Woah! Bank ain't gonna help you now.
32
00:01:56,910 --> 00:01:58,270
Towel in the trunk.
33
00:01:58,370 --> 00:02:00,430
Extra set of balls. Put [th]em on. You're gonna need them.
34
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,360
You're gonna get my Dream back?
35
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,710
No, Pile, you are.
36
00:02:03,750 --> 00:02:05,290
I'm here to show you how.
37
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,110
Winter of 2006
38
00:02:12,670 --> 00:02:14,380
Submitted for your approval:
39
00:02:14,420 --> 00:02:16,230
one First National Bank.
40
00:02:16,250 --> 00:02:17,940
What is a bank, you ask?
41
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:21,820
A curious place where both space, time and irony exist --
42
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:23,860
and yet, don't.
43
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:25,800
Are you gonna be doing that the whole time?
44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,360
Pay attention, Pile.
45
00:02:27,530 --> 00:02:32,230
Exhibit A: those who have come to deposit and safely store their earned monies.
46
00:02:32,650 --> 00:02:37,710
Exhibit B: those who need to borrow said money for purposes unknown.
47
00:02:37,930 --> 00:02:39,660
Hey, that's me!
48
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,680
Ergo, exhibit C:
49
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,030
the bank only has so much money in the vault to lend out
50
00:02:45,230 --> 00:02:47,210
to people such as you.
51
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,390
Hey! Hey, that's the guy! He took my house!
52
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:52,570
Really screwing my vibe here, Pile.
53
00:02:52,570 --> 00:02:54,650
Space-time continuum -- he can't hear you.
54
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,930
Just let me narrate. Now, where was I?
55
00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:00,940
So you see: by the time he got to you, Pile,
56
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,840
his bank was out of money.
57
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,430
But he gave me lots of money and charged me a lot of interest.
58
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,210
Yes, that's the only way banks make money,
59
00:03:10,230 --> 00:03:11,710
by making debt loans.
60
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,370
Debt equals money, Pile.
61
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,160
Remember that, debt equals money.
62
00:03:16,410 --> 00:03:18,910
The more loans they make, the more money they make.
63
00:03:19,230 --> 00:03:22,380
But if they don't have any money, then where did my money come from?
64
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,910
You're gonna wanna take a step back, Pile.
65
00:03:27,530 --> 00:03:28,470
Woah!
66
00:03:29,170 --> 00:03:30,250
No way!
67
00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:32,310
Yes way, and that's nothing.
68
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,200
Hey buddy, need some money?
69
00:03:35,260 --> 00:03:36,300
Bum
70
00:03:37,870 --> 00:03:39,520
They didn't to that!
71
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,790
Oh, they did exactly that, Pile!
72
00:03:41,940 --> 00:03:44,300
Remember, banks make money by making loans,
73
00:03:44,380 --> 00:03:46,670
by selling debt -- even to
74
00:03:47,130 --> 00:03:49,080
bad credit risks.
75
00:03:51,850 --> 00:03:54,500
Yo, have some money, dude.
76
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,020
Loan.
77
00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:55,840
Just sign here.
78
00:03:56,170 --> 00:03:57,190
Oh, my gosh!
79
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,310
Mmm, they called it free money.
80
00:03:59,420 --> 00:04:03,190
Yeah, that's exactly what my loan guy told me: free money.
81
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,870
Loan
82
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,540
But it ain't free.
83
00:04:04,690 --> 00:04:07,890
The worst part was offering money to people who don't even need it --
84
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,480
We own your ass!
85
00:04:07,940 --> 00:04:09,980
people, Pile, like you.
86
00:04:11,950 --> 00:04:15,640
You're right, I didn't need him. I was happy here.
87
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,270
I didn't need it!
88
00:04:15,850 --> 00:04:16,680

90
00:04:24,210 --> 00:04:26,810
Why is he sad? He's making all that money.
91
00:04:26,990 --> 00:04:29,310
Shhh... He's thinking.
92
00:04:31,620 --> 00:04:33,130
Now wait for it...
93
00:04:33,780 --> 00:04:35,890
Now wait for it...
94
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,880
Bingo.
95
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:40,360
See, the bankers loan to everyone in town,
96
00:04:40,460 --> 00:04:43,740
but to make more money they have to lone even more.
97
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,730
More?
98
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:46,370
How much money do they need?
99
00:04:46,390 --> 00:04:47,980
More.
100
00:04:48,930 --> 00:04:50,270
What's that?
101
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,230
Behold, a black horse rideth!
102
00:04:53,230 --> 00:04:54,690
A credit card.

Refinance Your Home!!!
104

Wow, look!
105
00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:15,040
I mean, it's gonna be okay.
106
00:05:15,070 --> 00:05:16,780
Everything's gonna be okay.
107
00:05:17,030 --> 00:05:17,610
What now?
108
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,750
Now? Well, Pile, with all this money,
109
00:05:21,070 --> 00:05:23,710
we might as well party.
110
00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:31,740
Oh ho, this is awesome.
111
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,340
I needed to get my head clear.
112
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,320
When I get back, I'm gonna straighten all this out.
113
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,400
I just hope Dream is doing okay.
114
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:42,920
Ben Bernanke!
115
00:05:42,940 --> 00:05:45,330
I'm going to get you, my pretty!
116
00:05:47,770 --> 00:05:50,320
Yep, he is. I'm sure he is.
117
00:05:50,910 --> 00:05:53,470
Mmm baby, you put it on his tab.
118
00:05:53,630 --> 00:05:55,260
Little something for yourself.
119
00:05:56,540 --> 00:05:57,160
Wait.
120
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:01,470
You know, wait a second Hartman. I just thought of something.
121
00:06:01,540 --> 00:06:03,650
If I got this money from the bank,
122
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,470
and the bank got it from the Federal Reserve dump trucks...
123
00:06:07,050 --> 00:06:08,380
Go on...
124
00:06:08,610 --> 00:06:11,410
...then where does the Federal Reserve get their money?
125
00:06:12,210 --> 00:06:14,610
Real nice time, ladies, real nice.
126
00:06:18,010 --> 00:06:19,220
Say, Hartman,
127
00:06:19,470 --> 00:06:21,600
why am I wearing a burglar bikini top.
128
00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:24,680
Because no one is allowed inside the Fed --
129
00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:26,040
not you, not me,
130
00:06:26,090 --> 00:06:29,450
no American citizen, no duly elected member of our Congress,
131
00:06:29,490 --> 00:06:30,680
not the Supreme Court.
132
00:06:30,750 --> 00:06:32,540
Not the Supreme Court?
133
00:06:32,590 --> 00:06:33,990
Not the Supreme Court.
134
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:40,360
Not the Justice Dept, not the CIA, DIA, FBI, ATF, BTE, NBC.
135
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,410
Not even G-o-d.
136
00:06:45,950 --> 00:06:48,610
How come the government isn't allowed inside its own building?
137
00:06:48,930 --> 00:06:49,480
Government?
138
00:06:49,820 --> 00:06:53,150
Pile, the Fed is a private bank, owned by private stockholders.
139
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,170
Do not let the name "Federal" fool you.
140
00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:57,950
This place is about as federal as Federal Express.
141
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,800
A private bank? But..
142
00:07:00,980 --> 00:07:01,850
private?
143
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:02,700
Shhh!
144
00:07:05,580 --> 00:07:07,510
Best you keep your voice down, Pile.
145
00:07:09,630 --> 00:07:11,100
This is Ethan, Federal Reserve.
146
00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:13,340
Hey Eth[an]. Bill here, First National.
147
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,780
Hi there Bill, how are you?
148
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:17,500
Good, good. We're running a little low on money.
149
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,930
No problem, how much [do] you need?
150
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,830
Oh, how does 20 million sound?
151
00:07:20,990 --> 00:07:21,670
What?
152
00:07:22,460 --> 00:07:24,650
Excellent, will ship it over first thing tomorrow.
153
00:07:24,830 --> 00:07:27,830
Wait, he can just call up the Fed and ask
154
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,970
for more money and they give him whatever they want?
155
00:07:30,230 --> 00:07:33,240
No, Pile, the Fed don't give the banks money;
156
00:07:33,330 --> 00:07:35,640
the Fed loans the banks money.
157
00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:40,060
The banks have to pay it back with interest.
158
00:07:40,060 --> 00:07:41,310
Come on, time to go.
159
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:43,870
Wait, wait, wait!
I still don't understand.
160
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,660
Where does the Fed get their money?
161
00:07:45,860 --> 00:07:46,900
I mean, if they're are private bank.
162
00:07:47,030 --> 00:07:48,700
You said they're a private bank, right?
163
00:07:48,780 --> 00:07:50,650
Okay, so who puts money into the Fed bank?
164
00:07:54,220 --> 00:07:56,030
This is Mel, United States Mint.
165
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,670
Hi ya Mel. First National needs another twenty millis.
166
00:07:58,690 --> 00:08:01,370
We're already running the presses full steam here, Ethan.
167
00:08:01,410 --> 00:08:03,540
Gotta keep making loans, Gotta keep the money flowing.
168
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,000
All right, you're the Fed.
169
00:08:06,050 --> 00:08:07,500
Whatever you guys say.
170
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:09,320
Twenty million more, by morning!
171
00:08:11,210 --> 00:08:12,510
But I don't get it.
172
00:08:12,540 --> 00:08:15,360
What's so wrong about the Fed printing money?
173
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,200
Because it's unconstitutional, Pile.
174
00:08:18,370 --> 00:08:20,860
Our Treasury is supposed to create our money,
175
00:08:20,910 --> 00:08:23,950
but now the Fed controls the printing of America's money.
176
00:08:24,140 --> 00:08:28,500
Nobody gets a friggin' dollar that the Fed didn't print.
177
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,550
So?
178
00:08:29,590 --> 00:08:32,170
They print the money, then they loan it to the government,
179
00:08:32,210 --> 00:08:33,920
then they charge the government interest,
180
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:36,130
then the government taxes you to pay for it.
181
00:08:36,260 --> 00:08:37,260
Wake up, Pile!
182
00:08:37,420 --> 00:08:39,880
God, I don't see what the big deal is!
183
00:08:39,910 --> 00:08:41,780
Mmm... You know, you're right, Pile.
184
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,240
Wait a minute. Wait... I am?
185
00:08:43,370 --> 00:08:47,580
Yeah! I forget how effective they are at keeping you ignorant.
186
00:08:47,610 --> 00:08:49,630
Oh, that's okay. Hey, I'm not ignorant!
187
00:08:49,730 --> 00:08:52,250
Do you even know what money is, Pile?
188
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,880
10th Century
189
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,120
In the long, long ago, people bartered.
190
00:08:57,470 --> 00:09:13,220
Pies
191
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,800
They traded things they had for things they wanted.
192
00:09:03,140 --> 00:09:06,530
I'll trade you my raspberries for that there pot pie.
193
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:07,950
I don't want your berries.
194
00:09:08,180 --> 00:09:10,570
Come on, Pile! They're sweet berries.
195
00:09:10,690 --> 00:09:13,310
They're not sweet, they're old, and I don't like berries.
196
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,990
- Give me that pot pie!
- No!
197
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,770
As you can see, this bartering situation created some problems.
198
00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:22,070
Then one day, a goldsmith walked up and said:
199
00:09:21,140 --> 00:09:28,770
Gold
200
00:09:22,370 --> 00:09:24,590
Now, everybody thinks gold is valuable
201
00:09:24,620 --> 00:09:27,610
so why doesn't everybody trade gold for things they need?
202
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:29,140
Yeah!
203
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,390
Price was set for gold and now it was very easy to conduct commerce
204
00:09:33,390 --> 00:09:37,440
because people could trade gold for all the things they needed.
205
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,010
Hartman! Wow, look at all my gold!
206
00:09:42,130 --> 00:09:45,310
Hey, hey, stop them! That's my gold!
207
00:09:45,410 --> 00:09:46,970
Damn thieves!
208
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,900
Say there, Pile, I've got a vault and some guards.
209
00:09:49,940 --> 00:09:53,400
I can keep your gold safe for you -- for a small fee.
210
00:09:53,570 --> 00:09:55,010
Yeah, sure. That would be awesome.
211
00:09:55,090 --> 00:09:59,010
You see, Pile, this is how the first bank made money.
212
00:09:59,190 --> 00:10:02,700
There you go, Pile. I owe you 100 gold coins.
213
00:10:00,250 --> 00:10:02,610
Banker's IOU [I owe you]
100 Gold Coins.
214
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,280
Okay, great!
215
00:10:04,450 --> 00:10:07,410
Come back any time and redeem your gold when you want it.
216
00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:10,500
It'll be right here, in my vault.
217
00:10:11,330 --> 00:10:14,580
Now you're holding the very first paper money, Pile.
218
00:10:14,730 --> 00:10:17,840
Wow, this is great! It all makes sense.
219
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,730
Oh, that's right, it was good.
220
00:10:19,850 --> 00:10:22,280
Everybody started using IOUs
221
00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:27,320
because everybody knew the IOU was as good as gold.
222
00:10:27,470 --> 00:10:31,540
Wow, this candy is really a good price: one IOU.
223
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,340
I'm getting some more for later.
224
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,660
Chocolate $1
225
00:10:33,690 --> 00:10:34,940
Chocolate $10
226
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,690
Hey, wait a minute. It was just one IOU.
227
00:10:36,790 --> 00:10:38,700
Ten IOUs for chocolate?
228
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,110
They can't just raise prices like that.
229
00:10:41,220 --> 00:10:43,310
Oh, the Candy Man can.
230
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,880
Oh, the Candy Man can.
231
00:10:46,950 --> 00:10:49,620
Wait, that is just friggin' wrong.
232
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:51,200
Water 200
233
00:10:51,410 --> 00:10:52,680
Camels 400
234
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,990
It makes your IOUs worth less and less
235
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,120
Wheels 9000
236
00:10:54,010 --> 00:10:56,100
until they are worth nothing.
237
00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:57,750
Less bang for the buck.
238
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,130
Dollar ain't what it used to be.
239
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,070
But I worked hard and I baked all those pot pies.
240
00:11:03,170 --> 00:11:06,250
Now I have to work harder to make less? That's not fair!
241
00:11:06,380 --> 00:11:09,860
Oh, if you think that's not fair, you're gonna love the next part.
242
00:11:11,950 --> 00:11:13,090
What's he doing?
243
00:11:13,420 --> 00:11:15,260
Banker's Chart
Gold
IOUs
244
00:11:13,670 --> 00:11:15,480
How do banks make money, Pile?
245
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,090
Normal Speed
More IOUs
246
00:11:15,580 --> 00:11:17,890
Ah, by making more loans?
247
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:19,720
Oh that's right, he's good.
248
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:22,570
See, he prints more IOUs without any more gold,
249
00:11:22,590 --> 00:11:24,810
loans them out for interest, makes a pretty penny,
250

251

No, no, no, no. That's my gold.
255
00:11:32,820 --> 00:11:35,310
Not anymore.
256
00:11:35,150 --> 00:11:40,010
Redemptions
257
00:11:35,510 --> 00:11:37,970
What are you talking about?
258
00:11:38,020 --> 00:11:40,170
I'd like to redeem my IOUs please.
259
00:11:40,190 --> 00:11:41,770
Thank you very much.
260
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,050
Out To Lunch
261
00:11:42,530 --> 00:11:43,410
Hey!
262
00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:48,370
I want my gold back now!
263
00:11:48,540 --> 00:11:50,190
Thief! Thief!
264
00:11:50,230 --> 00:11:53,100
Battle of the bank run. Bringing people together.
265
00:11:53,140 --> 00:11:54,920
See, they all found out he was stealing,
266
00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:58,760
made a run on the bank and demanded their gold. But as you can see,
267
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,380
there ain't no gold to get.
268
00:12:01,590 --> 00:12:02,680
Hartman!
269
00:12:02,780 --> 00:12:07,180
Don't worry, Pile. Back in these times, vengeance will be yours.
270
00:12:07,230 --> 00:12:09,520
Three things in this world you don't do:
271
00:12:09,540 --> 00:12:11,480
Never mess with another man's woman.
272
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:13,520
Never mess with another man's ego.
273
00:12:13,550 --> 00:12:15,370
And most importantly,
274
00:12:15,420 --> 00:12:19,490
you never mess with another man's money.
275
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,150
Else, the man will mess with you.
276
00:12:24,450 --> 00:12:26,570
My God, you hung him?
277
00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:29,280
Yes, Pile. Oh, we hung him.
278
00:12:29,310 --> 00:12:32,540
We hung him high! And do you know why?
279
00:12:32,810 --> 00:12:35,150
Because he was a thief?
280
00:12:35,330 --> 00:12:38,920
Because, Pile, an evil invention was born.
281
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,640
Man discovered how to turn worthless paper into gold.
282
00:12:44,060 --> 00:12:45,870
House of Rothschild
283
00:12:44,260 --> 00:12:46,500
Thus was invented the ultimate machine
284
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,060
to steal real money and enslave all the nations on earth.
285
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:56,540
It's alive!
286
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,960
Oh now, come on, you're just being dramatic.
287
00:12:59,050 --> 00:13:00,760
I mean, I lost my house but...
288
00:13:00,910 --> 00:13:02,380
What is that. Explain.
289
00:13:02,540 --> 00:13:03,880
A nuclear power plant?
290
00:13:04,170 --> 00:13:07,390
Um, hmm. Produces lots of electricity and little pollution.
291
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,610
An invention for the good of humanity.
292
00:13:09,780 --> 00:13:11,950
Okay, but what's this have to do with...
293
00:13:12,070 --> 00:13:14,000
3, 2...
294
00:13:15,690 --> 00:13:16,420
Holy...
295
00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:22,010
Atomic energy. A discovery more powerful than anything man had yet conceived.
296
00:13:22,090 --> 00:13:25,730
It can be used for good or evil.
297
00:13:26,190 --> 00:13:32,210
Now, unlike Einstein, the goldsmith's discovery has been kept a closely guarded secret.
298
00:13:32,620 --> 00:13:34,670
It was never intended for you to see.
299
00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:38,310
This discovery is called fractional reserved banking.
300
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:42,300
In the wrong hands, it's more powerful than the nuclear bomb
301
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:47,740
in its ability to completely and utterly destroy a nation who is subjected to its perversion.
302
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,380
No. No, no, no, no!
303
00:13:51,410 --> 00:13:55,370
It is time we stop this evil secret and the men behind it...
304
00:13:55,390 --> 00:13:56,360
You're being ridiculous.
305
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,160
...before America is destroyed forever.
306
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,690
Believe it, Pile!
307
00:14:00,780 --> 00:14:03,580
No, no, no, no. I just want my dog back.
308
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:06,170
Dammit! That's it, I give up.
309
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,980
Let them live in chains.
310
00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:10,930
No, Hartman!
311
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:16,520
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
312
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,090
Thomas Jefferson?
313
00:14:19,250 --> 00:14:21,990
Mr. President, how do I get him to understand?
314
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,470
As we did, son. Remain vigilant.
315
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:30,810
Too many have hidden the truth and the light of our liberty dims with every passing day.
316
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,390
Quickly, take my horse! Show him!
317
00:14:35,530 --> 00:14:37,700
Wait. Show me what? Where are we going?
318
00:14:38,190 --> 00:14:40,930
Away, Stallion of Liberty!
319
00:14:40,950 --> 00:14:43,930
Ride hard the hoary wind!
320
00:14:44,690 --> 00:14:46,800
Oh, where are we?
321
00:14:46,850 --> 00:14:48,070
Battle of Waterloo.
322
00:14:48,140 --> 00:14:50,000
Hold on! We gotta get through!
323
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,460
A money machine. There it is!
324
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,980
Hey, is that the same people?
325
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,690
Rich banker men from Germany flying under the banner of the Red Shield.
326
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,720
They financed both sides of the war.
327
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:02,820
London
Waterloo
Barstow
328
00:15:01,860 --> 00:15:02,890
We must hurry.
329
00:15:04,930 --> 00:15:07,160
That's him, the Red Shield courier. Shoot him!
330
00:15:07,190 --> 00:15:09,490
No. I'm not shooting any one.
331
00:15:09,590 --> 00:15:10,690
Dammit, Pile.
332
00:15:10,730 --> 00:15:11,370
What?
333
00:15:11,550 --> 00:15:16,020
He beat everyone back with the news of the war and told England that Napoleon won.
334
00:15:16,180 --> 00:15:19,790
The Red Shield bankers of London pretended that England was doomed
335
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,710
London Stock Exchange
336
00:15:19,740 --> 00:15:26,130
End of the World Stock Sale!
337
00:15:19,790 --> 00:15:22,470
and started selling their English stocks.
338
00:15:22,570 --> 00:15:26,380
The English went into a selling frenzy to get rid of worthless English money.
339
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,830
But, the English won, right?
340
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:30,220
Of course they won.
341
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,630
But it was a trick by Red Shield.
342
00:15:31,860 --> 00:15:33,710
London Stock Exchange
343
00:15:32,670 --> 00:15:34,820
They waited until the stocks plummeted to pennies
344
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,540
and then bought England back for nearly nothing.
345
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:39,610
England
Sold
346
00:15:37,650 --> 00:15:40,400
What? They did that? How?
347
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,310
When the English leaders found out,
348
00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:45,690
they had no choice but to give themselves over to the Red Shield.
349
00:15:45,790 --> 00:15:49,680
Their money was gone and they were slaves to the Red Shield war debt.
350
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,140
Since that time the English have been paying their national taxes
351
00:15:53,140 --> 00:15:55,630
directly to the Red Shield private bankers.
352
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,370
The people have no idea.
353
00:15:58,490 --> 00:16:00,950
But the bankers bragged about what they did to us,
354
00:16:00,980 --> 00:16:03,800
laughing at us all the way to the bank.
355
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,660
Buckingham Palace.
356
00:16:04,420 --> 00:16:08,100
Nathan Rothschild
357
00:16:04,460 --> 00:16:06,900
Why it's the best business I've ever done.
358
00:16:07,020 --> 00:16:10,940
If I can control a nation's wealth, I care not who makes its laws.
359
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,190
Oh, is this what Jefferson wanted to show me?
360
00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:19,460
No, Pile. Look.
361
00:16:20,380 --> 00:16:22,700
They're in America too?
362
00:16:22,910 --> 00:16:25,430
The Red Shield banks are here, Pile,
363
00:16:25,510 --> 00:16:28,250
seeking a way to conquer our American Dream.
364
00:16:28,300 --> 00:16:32,430
The dream you had, Pile. The dream of free men.
365
00:16:32,990 --> 00:16:36,160
They tried to take over our country many times and failed
366
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,830
because Jefferson and the patriots vowed to stop the evil tyrants at all costs.
367
00:16:44,010 --> 00:16:48,990
By authority of eternal God he would not let the bankers win here.
368
00:16:46,690 --> 00:16:49,690
Continental Congress
369
00:16:49,010 --> 00:16:54,510
To preserve our independence we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.
370
00:16:54,380 --> 00:16:59,540
Thomas Jefferson actually said this...
371
00:16:54,690 --> 00:16:59,590
We must make our choice between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude.
372
00:17:00,050 --> 00:17:01,160
Wow.
373
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,900
I place economy among the first and most important of republican virtues,
374
00:17:06,020 --> 00:17:09,330
and public debt is the greatest of the dangers to be feared.
375
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,670
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
376
00:17:14,890 --> 00:17:18,860
We must have a central bank to secure this country's finances!
377
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,750
Banking
378
00:17:19,070 --> 00:17:25,040
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money,
379
00:17:23,580 --> 00:17:28,350
Yes, he actually said this.
380
00:17:25,190 --> 00:17:28,340
first by inflation and then by deflation,
381
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:32,000
the banks and corporations that will grow up around them
382
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,300
will deprive the people of their property
383
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,060
until their children will wake up homeless
384
00:17:37,060 --> 00:17:39,870
on the very continent their fathers conquered.
385
00:17:40,220 --> 00:17:44,280
Jefferson, you're mad! This country will have a central bank.
386
00:17:45,050 --> 00:17:46,040
Who's that?
387
00:17:46,090 --> 00:17:48,860
America's first Secretary of Treasury.
388
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,440
Alexander Hamilton.
389
00:17:50,510 --> 00:17:51,740
Not for long.
390
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,920
Aaron Burr, Thomas Jefferson's Vice President.
391
00:17:54,990 --> 00:17:58,200
They didn't take too kindly to our first Sec[retary of] Treasury.
392
00:17:59,990 --> 00:18:01,020
Sweet shot, Burr.
393
00:18:02,510 --> 00:18:06,730
The first attempt at a central bank only lasted 20 years and was shut down.
394
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,740
But the bankers tried again against "Old Hickory", President Andrew Jackson.
395
00:18:08,570 --> 00:18:10,480
Harper's Magazine
The Bank War
396
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,380
You are a den of vipers and thieves.
397
00:18:15,450 --> 00:18:21,660
I intend to rout you out and by the eternal God I will rout you out.
398
00:18:22,090 --> 00:18:28,170
After surviving an assassination attempt, Jackson finally defeated the bank in 1836.
399
00:18:28,450 --> 00:18:32,690
When asked what was the greatest accomplishment in his life, Old Hickory replied,
400
00:18:32,850 --> 00:18:35,520
I killed the bank.
401
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,460
And those were his last words:
402
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,200
"I killed the bank."
403
00:18:42,550 --> 00:18:45,250
And, with real money backed with real gold,
404
00:18:45,310 --> 00:18:48,710
our country experienced the greatest boom in any nation's history.
405
00:18:48,810 --> 00:18:51,380
Oh, it was beautiful, Pile.
406
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:53,950
But the bankers, greedy for more power and wealth,
407
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,830
were concocting their most ambitious plan yet:
408
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,740
to once and for all take control of the finances of the United States.
409
00:19:02,070 --> 00:19:05,890
In 1910, a secret meeting was held in the J.P. Morgan estate
410
00:19:05,890 --> 00:19:08,430
on Jekyll Island of the coast of Georgia.
411
00:19:08,590 --> 00:19:13,190
This meeting was so secret, so concealed from government and public knowledge,
412
00:19:13,330 --> 00:19:16,810
that the 10 attendees used code names.
413
00:19:17,150 --> 00:19:20,910
J.P. Morgan
code name: Hula Girl
414
00:19:19,350 --> 00:19:21,760
I am clearly the richest man,
415
00:19:21,890 --> 00:19:25,430
so I should be the one to run the super secret central bank.
416
00:19:25,550 --> 00:19:27,510
I own all the oil in America.
417
00:19:25,620 --> 00:19:29,290
J.D. Rockefeller
code name: Lube Job
418
00:19:27,540 --> 00:19:30,280
I'm clearly richer than you will ever be Hula Girl.
419
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,410
I should run the super secret central bank
420
00:19:32,900 --> 00:19:35,820
You're nothing compared to me, Lube Job.
421
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,010
I shall run the secret bank.
422
00:19:38,060 --> 00:19:40,250
Silence!
423
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:44,090
Supreme Master Leader, I didn't know you were gonna be here.
424
00:19:43,940 --> 00:19:47,660
Supreme Master Leader
(Name withheld for scary security reasons)
425
00:19:44,140 --> 00:19:47,570
I'm not. Neither are you, dumb ass.
426
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:51,340
Oh yeah, right, right. He's so smart!
427
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,740
None of you shall run the bank.
428
00:19:54,890 --> 00:19:57,710
We have failed in the past because of openness.
429
00:19:57,780 --> 00:20:00,760
This time the key to success is secrecy.
430
00:20:00,890 --> 00:20:04,500
The people must believe that they run the bank.
431
00:20:04,610 --> 00:20:08,540
Yes, brilliant! A sneak attack.
432
00:20:08,740 --> 00:20:09,490
What's the plan?
433
00:20:09,550 --> 00:20:13,370
We first create panic, then we show them the solution.
434
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,150
With our man in office and well-planned timing,
435
00:20:16,220 --> 00:20:18,070
we will have our central bank.
436
00:20:18,140 --> 00:20:20,670
And so the people think it is theirs.
437
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,810
We shall christen it Federal, the Federal Reserve.
438
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,100
They struck on December 23rd, 1913,
439
00:20:35,180 --> 00:20:38,030
when most of our Congress were at home eating fruit cake
440
00:20:38,060 --> 00:20:40,400
these bastards -- I mean bankers --
441
00:20:40,410 --> 00:20:43,870
presented their treasonous act to their newly elected accomplice
442
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:50,010
Woodrow Wilson, who had fortuitously already agreed to sign it before he was even elected.
443
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:49,790
Federal Reserve Act
The 16th Amendment to the Constitution of The United States -- IRS
444
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,830
Wait. The IRS? I thought we always had the IRS.
445
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,900
No, Pile. They did this to us too.
446
00:20:59,180 --> 00:21:04,080
The Fed now has the exclusive power to print America's money.
447
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:08,200
They loan this money to our banks and our government at interest,
448
00:21:08,380 --> 00:21:10,730
putting immediate debt on our own money,
449
00:21:10,770 --> 00:21:12,420
printing more and more
450
00:21:12,420 --> 00:21:17,210
so each dollar they print becomes worth less than the one before.
451
00:21:22,190 --> 00:21:24,320
Merry Christmas.
452
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,880
What in the hell is that?
453
00:21:29,350 --> 00:21:34,260
That, Pile, is how our government now must pay back these debts to the Fed.
454
00:21:34,270 --> 00:21:37,410
Your taxes do not go to your government.
455
00:21:37,410 --> 00:21:38,260
They don't?
456
00:21:38,330 --> 00:21:42,090
Hmm. It's the greatest theft in human history.
457
00:21:42,170 --> 00:21:45,660
But... Okay. I mean, I sorta get what you're saying,
458
00:21:45,750 --> 00:21:50,230
but it's also confusing and really Hartman, I don't see how it affects me at all.
459
00:21:50,300 --> 00:21:52,340
If I had more money, none of this would have happened.
460
00:21:52,850 --> 00:21:54,020
Hartman?
461
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,620
1955! Wow, what are we doing here?
462
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,320
Oh, a little bit of shopping.
463
00:22:03,350 --> 00:22:06,700
Here, hold this. Gallon of gas: 23 cents.
464
00:22:06,750 --> 00:22:09,320
Postage stamp: 3 cents.
465
00:22:09,380 --> 00:22:11,810
Ounce of gold: 35 dollars.
466
00:22:11,860 --> 00:22:14,740
Hot baby: priceless.
467
00:22:14,860 --> 00:22:16,370
Best be getting back.
468
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,410
Hey, Hartman! I need my car, man!
469
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,670
Oh, was that Michael J....
470
00:22:21,740 --> 00:22:23,620
Yeah, he'll be fine.
471
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:36,700
For Sale $400,000
Everything Must Go!!!
472
00:22:26,270 --> 00:22:31,300
Now, Pile, would you agree that you have the same exact things that you had in 1955?
473
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,600
Yeah. One stamp, one gallon of gas, one ounce of gold and one home.
474
00:22:37,990 --> 00:22:40,860
Wow, we just made a lot of money.
475
00:22:42,290 --> 00:22:43,360
Hey!
476
00:22:44,420 --> 00:22:45,970
Gotta pay your taxes.
477
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:48,850
Then it's nice to have made all that money.
478
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,060
Wait, that isn't fair!
479
00:22:51,180 --> 00:22:54,750
Now I actually have less money. I can't even go buy the things I just sold.
480
00:22:54,980 --> 00:22:58,890
The IRS and the Fed's inflation work together, Pile.
481
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,630
They aren't just taxing gain, they are taxing their inflation.
482
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,900
You are no richer than you were in 1955.
483
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,670
Now, does that sound fair or American to you?
484
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,670
Yeah, but I mean, who doesn't hate taxes? I hate the IRS anyway.
485
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:18,090
Pile, the higher they make the inflation, the more of your money they take.
486
00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:19,500
It's thievery.
487
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,870
You're not paying taxes on any more, you are paying taxes on the same
488
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:26,750
and now you have less.
489
00:23:26,770 --> 00:23:29,630
They take our property away right in front of our eyes
490
00:23:29,670 --> 00:23:31,760
just like Thomas Jefferson said they would.
491
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,810
What's that?
492
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,270
They found us!
493
00:23:38,130 --> 00:23:39,710
Quick, my sword!
494
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:40,770
What sword?
495
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,130
We don't need your banking machine!
496
00:23:44,150 --> 00:23:47,380
I condemn you to die, dammit! Die!
497
00:23:47,530 --> 00:23:51,800
Pile, Bernanke bogie on my nine! Take him at his knees!
498
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,890
For we are opposed around the world
499
00:24:03,330 --> 00:24:06,370
by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy
500
00:24:06,860 --> 00:24:09,800
that relies primarily on covert means
501
00:24:10,030 --> 00:24:12,300
for expanding its sphere of influence.
502
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,440
What's happening? Where am I?
503
00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:19,530
I believe perhaps you understand now, Pile. But you are afraid.
504
00:24:19,610 --> 00:24:23,530
JFK. Hartman, what does this have to do with my house and my dog?
505
00:24:23,610 --> 00:24:26,290
Okay, that's enough. I want to go home now.
506
00:24:26,370 --> 00:24:29,950
This is the last president to stand up to the Fed.
507
00:24:30,020 --> 00:24:31,620
You must see.
508
00:24:31,660 --> 00:24:39,270
On June 4, 1963, President Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110.
509
00:24:39,370 --> 00:24:44,010
This executive order empowered the U.S. Treasury to issue real money without the Fed.
510
00:24:44,050 --> 00:24:45,760
It would have worked.
511
00:24:46,210 --> 00:24:49,900
Kennedy's plan to dismantle the Federal Reserve machine had begun.
512
00:24:50,890 --> 00:24:56,020
But six months later, John F. Kennedy went to Dallas and never returned.
513
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,690
No way. No way they can do that.
514
00:24:59,770 --> 00:25:03,500
The new president, Lyndon Johnson, threw out Kennedy's order.
515
00:25:03,580 --> 00:25:06,120
And since JFK, no president has dared
516
00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:09,660
confront the secret powers behind the Federal Reserve.
517
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,000
They consolidate bigger and bigger banks,
518
00:25:13,060 --> 00:25:16,030
print more and more money, accountable to no one,
519
00:25:16,270 --> 00:25:20,350
decimating our nation's wealth for the benefit of a few.
520
00:25:20,660 --> 00:25:25,150
Why? Why do this? If they hurt us it hurts the global bankers too.
521
00:25:25,220 --> 00:25:31,830
No, Pile, they are protected! They are too big to fail.
522
00:25:32,510 --> 00:25:35,230
But I'm not.
523
00:25:35,250 --> 00:25:37,720
Those sons of bitches!
524
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,390
Mmm, sons of bitches all.
525
00:25:46,690 --> 00:25:48,530
The day was cold,
526
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,590
the wind sharp and strong,
527
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,830
but we were determined.
528
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,960
The bankers and their parasites had us vastly outnumbered,
529
00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:03,470
but their hubris made them weak --
530
00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:06,630
not like us,
531
00:26:07,490 --> 00:26:10,740
not like this band of immortals we have assembled.
532
00:26:11,130 --> 00:26:13,540
We have come to take back our...
533
00:26:12,510 --> 00:26:15,590
If Lost Call Hartman.
534
00:26:13,750 --> 00:26:16,620
Hartman, is that...?
535
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,630
My dog.
536
00:26:18,850 --> 00:26:20,550
Oh, sh...
537
00:26:23,230 --> 00:26:24,580
Then the inevitable.
538
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,140
The money kings could ignore us no longer.
539
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,240
They sent an emissary,
540
00:26:30,570 --> 00:26:34,370
a cog in the machine of greed, to bring about our submission:
541
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,920
Hank Paulson.
542
00:26:37,930 --> 00:26:40,590
Hartman, this is blasphemy.
543
00:26:40,750 --> 00:26:45,150
We own the corners of the earth. It is futile to challenge us.
544
00:26:45,910 --> 00:26:48,480
Oh, I've seen that look before,
545
00:26:48,670 --> 00:26:51,670
that of a predator taking in the scent of its prey:
546
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,330
bold, fearless, the look of a free man.
547
00:26:57,850 --> 00:27:01,290
You have come far, Hartman, father than most.
548
00:27:01,340 --> 00:27:03,800
Be smart now; join us.
549
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,850
We will bring you money, power, everything you want.
550
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:12,150
You can be one of us if you will kneel.
551
00:27:58,970 --> 00:28:01,570
Madman! You're a madman!
552
00:28:02,630 --> 00:28:04,390
We're offering you everything!
553
00:28:04,870 --> 00:28:06,620
What do you think this is?
554
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,370
This...is...America!
555
00:28:23,420 --> 00:28:26,950
The End
556
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:40,820
He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither.
