- The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire | The Secret World of Finance
Michael Oswald's film The Spider's Web reveals how at the demise of the empire, the City of London's financial interests created a web of secrecy jurisdictions that captured wealth from across the globe and hid it in a web of offshore islands. Today, up to half of global offshore wealth is hidden in British jurisdictions and Britain and its dependencies are the largest global players in The Secret World of Finance.

The world we see is completely different to the world we live in. Scratch beneath the surface and we see a hidden world operating in complete silence and secrecy.

Just like most homes and families are very different than what the outside world sees.

How is keeping your own money stealing? If you ask me taxation is theft way more than keeping your own money by knowing the law

@@michaelmorton7258 Taxation is necessary for a functioning society buddy, people rely on tax everyday to live.
The producers of this documentary are the ones who really change the world by denouncing corruption and people with zero conscience. Respect respect and respect 👏🏽👏🏽
Do you mean the sort of corruption that is allowing thousands of illegal asylum seekers to hop on leaky boats and make the journey to the UK?
I've been saying for a long time, the British Empire never died, it only _morphed_
This documentary comes to show exactly that.
The same way Colonialists became corporate
@@Celevie Yea. The "new" name for colonialism is finance. The British Empire was never the crown, rather it was several private corporate enterprises such as the East India Co. and the Levant Co.
The empire morphed into banking, central banking and finance. It became the very background of modern society, in the daily transactions and currency creation.
Indeed the habit hole only goes deeper
Agree 100%
Did the monarch benefited from the activities of the East India Co? I learnt about the Levant Co only after reading your comment.
Just like the Roman Empire never died. It morphed into the Roman Catholic Church!
As a non-Brit, I find it astounding how little information I've seen in the media about the City of London and how it operates. Most people in my country aren't even aware that there is a difference between London and the City of London.
Your not alone, most people in Britain don't know this either
Really?..bet the IRA knew the diffrence.
allen schmitz They new where the financial buildings are but then again you can't really miss them. It's not like there is suddenly a different place, no border control you can just walk in it's still London ffs
Right, It'S not like there a fence around it..you have to know where the little signs are on some of the BLDs.
Zandalorscat 👍yes you right most of people even english people don’t distinguish between City of London which is a nation within a nation and London
One of the greatest videos I have seen on UA-cam. It is worth way more than 4000£ and is uploaded here for free, which is utterly amazing. The film provides more knowledge on why the underdeveloped countries are still poorer than the ministers of those countries themselves. Tremendous respect for the author and good luck in the future projects. Thank you for your work and devotion to bringing information to the light.
Wall Street would have paid them a lot more it's a wonder they never asked
Wjarr you vomr up.witj 4 gyamf.:f#pf
Uploaded for free but the version I watched was peppered with ads by UA-cam. I hope that UA-cam kicked some of that ad revenue to Independent POV.
Where did you get the budget from?
But yeah, the film is more than just amazing! It's a must watch for basically everyone.
Every prime minister of the UK should be very silent when the topic tax evasion comes up.
And the international community should all point their finger right to the UK, if they're actually serious. Which they're actually not.
Because if you look up the Financial Secrecy Index, you'll find all the big economies!
Their leaders are definitely aware of this system and don't have a sincere desire to stop it.
The political class is not as dumb as they appear _(well, in todays Germany I'm not sure)!_ But they themselves benefit by this system. Knowing how many billions their states are losing every year.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Secrecy_Index?wprov=sfla1
Paragraph: _"British Empire-related tax havens"_
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_haven?wprov=sfla1
All the informations are available and there are extended articles about the City, the Corporation, overseas territories, crown dependencies etc.
But it's nice to have all these informations put together in a well made, exciting to watch documentary. Instead of reading one Wikipedia article after another. It's a little like a financial thriller.
It is shameful what is happening.
The billionaires etc. now rule the world
Is there any point in electing decent politicians as they seem unable to make changes.
Accumulating money is all that matters and the more you have the more power you have
Utterly blown away by this, incredible piece of film, thank you so much for making it
Literally never knew most of this, thank you, sharing far and wide
Amazing documentary, incredibly informative and extraordinarily executed with a centered and unbiased perspective. Just facts, no unnecessary comments or narrative, got me hooked from start to finish. Kudos to team
We're all sort of aware of it, we all know this is happening at some level or another but it's a whole different thing when all of those thoughts get pulled out of the unconscious and get articulated into reality so precisely. This is really impressive work regardless of the team's small budget. Props to whoever is responsible for this.
I would say a lot of people arent aware. Only some are aware of it and even a smaller few really gets it
Wrong, most of the people don't know this is happening, people are too busy working hard to pay the car, the house, the cloth and the luxury life they cannot afford. People are to ignorant to realise all this is happening in front of their eyes.
@@mastalee1776 exactly

Since I watched this wonderful documentary, my mind is at rest. At the age of 77 and always having an interest in politics and finance I was always burned up with the inequality of normal citizens lives but I didn't understand how or why this situation had come about. Now I understand, and I realise that there is absolutely nothing I can do to change things. So my mind is at rest - you only worry about those things you can influence and change.
Perhaps you can do nothing at your age, but the younger generations will have to face a difficult choice in the coming decades. Dismantle the system through violent revolt, French Revolution style, or submit and lose all rights and freedoms past generations fought for in the name of a more centralized economic and financialized security state that only protects the ultra wealthy.
Spread the word
Very sad, though.
sharing this with your circle of friends/contacts and questioning your "representative" politicians are useful actions, however small they may seem..
Something’s gotta change
Hope the people that made or participated in the making of this documentary are still all with us.🤔🙏
This is definitely the best documentary I have watched on UA-cam. I can see no reason why every TV broadcasting company in the world shouldn't license and broadcast it. Those that don't must be as inherently corrupt as the UK establishment. I am British but it's good to be reminded of what a corrupt regime I belong to! Every time a large company in the UK goes bust despite a clean bill of health in audit from the big four, it demonstrates how pervasive the accountancy firms have become within government. Congratulations to the main contributors in this film for their courage, persistence and acumen!
Spot on mate. Completely agree.
The media is owned by the same establishment. Corporations own everything including our media and government. A handful of companies own most of the media and they are owned by the same oligarchs.
They are doing everything in their power to distract the masses whilst the elites extract the wealth from our nations. They do not hold the powerful accountable, they just pretend to. Politicians work for the corporations not the people. The media is nothing more than a tool and now so is most of the Internet.
We workers are nothing but slaves to the system that makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.
When governments and corporations work hand in hand, that's fascism. We beat the Nazis, not fascism.
This is late stage capitalism. The elites are taking as much wealth as they can from us, paying us slave wages, taking all the profits for themselves, throwing us into debt by not paying us enough. Soon we'll all be replaced with robots and left to starve, whilst the elites live on their private Islands.
@@xxxxOS Very true. I've read and watched lots of information and documentaries and had lots of discussions regarding the exact same things. What do you think is the solution? Or maybe a step that the average person can take to go in the right direction? I do completely agree with what you had said but I do feel we focus too much on the problem and not enough on the solution.
@Khazarian Convert Thank you for sharing, appreciate that. I've seen some stuff online and it's crazy. Technology is also being sped up each year to monitor us even more. The best generation will automatically believe the internet is their parents.
@Khazarian Convert All excellent points. I fully agree with them and these are the exact things I've tried to implement in my own life.
You are spot on. Many attempts have been made to divide people with the classic divide and conquer ploy.
Again you have hit the nail on th head. Entertainment is completely rubbish and just wastes our time.
You have made great points. Good luck to you too my friend. Take care.
What an exceptional production... considering the fact that it was produced on a shoe string budget. What a slap in the face of the propaganda spewing BBC and its offensive fluff entertainment. Keep up the great work!
While this is no doubt a great production for such a shoestring budget, why do you need to throw in a diss to the BBC? I can think of a hundred great shows that wouldn't exist without the BBC, and they've certainly done their share of excellent documentaries and investigative journalism. Got any specific examples for your nebulous whine?

*FUN FACT*
In the City of London, on Bank St., you will find the Guildhall which is guarded by two giant statues of *Gog and Magog* , whom are called 'the protectors of the City of London'. They are also paraded annually at the Lord Mayor's show, a tradition going back atleast to the 16th century.
British folklore depict Gog and Magog as the founders of Britain, a folklore also found in Ireland, Scotland and northern Germania.
Интересная информация. Спасибо!
Very interesting indeed, thanks for sharing.
Important note! They are two statues of giants, Gog and Magog. They're inside the chapel and actually pretty small. But you're right, a lot of the old folklore is that the Isles were made by giants, and yes! they are also part of the city parade.

This just popped up today in my recommendation. Well done on a brilliant documentary 👏 and currently 8.5k comments! I will need weeks to read all the comments but will take time to do that as they are all from intelligent people who dream of living in a world of fairness justice love and peace. Love to all who are here 💞
I grew up as a "central kid" in London (hanging out at the trocadero, Trafalgar Square, green park etc) and we would from time to time hang out in city of London areas skating, drinking, hanging out. Aside from the obvious differences in clientele and environmental factors of these areas, it always felt "off". Now I know why..
As a young girl I was often taken to see the Lord Mayor’s show and was apprised of its distinctness (The City of London) even then. This documentary truly fills in the gaps of my knowledge of it. Brilliant doc. Thank you
It's been some time since I've watched this documentary. I just came for the comments.
Is it mentioned that the bloody monarch of the UK has to _"ask"_ the Lord Mayor of London to enter the City of London?
@@yannick245 that’s not true the city of London falls under the jurisdiction of the UK government it’s just considered it’s own county inside of London it’s not exempt from nationwide laws just has a different local council
@@InsanepieIt is exempt from nationwide laws, that's half of what this documentary has been trying to explain. They help criminals avoid paying tax. Sounds fairly illegal and shady to me.
@@RugbyPass81 no they are not… the documentary just misleads most likely on purpose (at least for this part) it just has a separate local council… that’s it and tax heavens are not illegal and honestly I think it’s more criminal to expect people to pay half of their earnings in tax
@@Insanepie So you think those earning billions should not only pay zero tax, which goes towards public services, such as the NHS, education and so on, maintenance of infrastructure that we ALL use such as roads and ports, but then also be given subsidies funded by the taxes everyone else i.e working class people pay for?
By saying "i want to pay no taxes" you are saying " I don't want education for all, the NHS, maintenance of infrastructure, any public services whatsoever, I don't want any armed forces, etc etc etc"?
You're hilarious. Didn't think your reply through, did you old chum?
Billionaires and elites pay no taxes, but then want to be given money at the expense of working class people who are MADE to pay all their taxes, in the form of cash back credit and subsidies, and who also then want to use the infrastructure that we all pay for? Such as roads and ports to move their goods about, public fibre optic to supply THEIR offices and warehouses with communications and so on, police to protect their private assets and so on.
Ask me how I know?
Thank you Deloitte for the 12 years of employment and showing me the shady practices of the elites at the expense of the working classes. I'll never work in accountancy again, for the same reason I would never serve in the British Armed Forces again (I served for 10 years from 1997-2007)... precisely because both are a sham.
You really have shown your self hatred with that comment. People who don't want to pay tax, and especially those who stand up for the elites/billionaires/fat, slug like greedy shareholders etc as they avoid paying any tax (and are in fact net benefactors of our tax system) should be sent to live on an island with no public services, no help from anyone, because that's basically what they're saying they want when they say they want an end to taxation "I don't want any public services, roads, ports, rail, healthcare etc etc"
This film should be a mandatory academic input for all school & college students.
Dr. V P Singh - You are absolutely right, if we lived in a decent society. The new world order has decreed that education is dumbed down so that hive minds are created. Not for young people to question, research or to think for themselves. Look at how they blindly follow extinction rebellion and the anthropogenic climate change agenda, when we are, in fact, already living through a solar minimum.
School is designed to make you a robot in their system. Another brick in the wall.
This is why they don't cover finance and money management at school, you might learn something.
Extremely depressing.....but probably one of the best documentaries ever made.
The greatest story Never told is worth a look.

An infuriating glance behind the curtain. Thank you for this importaint and truly brave piece of journalism!
Perhaps you'd like to expand on this cryptic comment??
Why is it infuriating?? because THEY are in power instead of--- WHOM?
Would others in power be much different?
Would that sort of power NOT corrupt YOU??
And WHY is this film "important and truly brave"??
I FEEL sort of the same as you do in this comment, but I am trying to think how it could REALISTICALLY be any better or any other way.... just wishing others in power do not seem to me to be the answer, and what OTHER conditions do we really expect in that other better IMAGINED situation??

@@mikonido
People keep saying all that shit against Britain as if THEY were in power they would be incorruptible and do all they can to preserve it... that doesn't mean I am pro Britain, but my only point is that ANYONE with that much power would be fucked, and fuck the world if need be to preserve his or her position... and yet, who would you put in that place of power, it has to be someone or some committee that knows how to use and exercise that power, and be BENEVOLENT and very careful in naming its successor, but for sure MONKS and saints would not last in the position... it is a puzzle no doubt about it.
Just consider that one, almost saint, emperor we all admire, Marcus Aurelius, he did all that was required of him, and yet killing was part of it all, as it is now, a monk would not last there... and yet even Aurelius fucked up in naming his successor, an incapable ignorant son, so all of Marcus Aurelius' work and philosophy were for nothing since his successor, an spoilt brat, destroyed it all.He didn't follow his own advice in the MOST IMPORTANT thing he could have done to preserve his life's work.
This film was amazingly gripping and incredibly informative. I hope it sows some seeds so that people can put two and two together.
NAH...BORING
One of the greatest documentaries in how the financial frauds and tax havens system function. Thank you 😊
NAH....ONLY MEN WHO SLEEP WITH MEN LIKE THIS VIDEO
I was brought up and spent most of my life in/on Jersey, and it's eye-opening to see how many people who work in finance there know exactly that their jobs are allowing billionaires of questionable character to avoid paying tax, but when your salary and bonuses allow you to buy multiple houses (the prices of which are now at Central London levels) and flounce about in an £80,000 Range Rover Sport, suddenly their moral compasses disappear. And believe me, some of the most stupid people I have ever met have made a fortune working in Trust companies there. It's not difficult - you just have to be willing to abandon your conscience.

@@wwd5104 Dear WWD: Here in America, cynics call the American People the American Sheeple. I'm certain that's true in the UK and at least in every other Western nation as well. How Bad must it get for average working people around the World before they unite and Rebel ? A People's Revolution needn't involve the shedding of blood at all. I'm confident that a General Strike of even 60% of the American Work Force for even a week would catch a lot of attention at the top. How about a National Election where no voters bothered to cast a vote ??? There are a number of ways that the united population of a nation can bring about great changes, and that's the exact reason why the government and the corporate mass media here in America amplify what are really small divisions among The People into big divisions. As long as the working and poor classes remain fighting among themselves, then they can't unite against the Fat Cats at the top.

So glad BBC Panorama and other investigating journalists have already covered this.. oh wait.
There is no longer any mainstream “investigative” journalism; hell, there isn’t really any journalism left at all. Outside of the many individuals shouting from the rooftops via UA-cam and bitchute et al, it’s all propaganda and commercial sales. The traditional media has lost all credibility, gone. It’s all so easily seen through and those that cannot see past it, well they aren’t playing on the same intellectual playground as the rest of us anyway, so it really doesn’t matter.

Yes. That is true.
A brilliant film and done with so little money. I knew much of this back in the 70's from working for an big corporation. This film needs to be viewed as widely as possible. It links in with many of the bad things happening in our world today. Full marks to the people that made it. We need more like them. Very good people and so knowledgeable on their subject.

Beautiful work, i can't imagine the trouble you guys went through to produce this..
Kudos to all of you👏👏👏👌
An excellent exposé. It adds detail to what we learned from the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers scandals. I do not know whether I am more afraid of the ruthlessness of the elites or the complacency and resignation of the masses. It is a hideous situation either way.

The complacency of the masses is the bigger problem. I have personally seen people defending and losing their minds over criticism of corrupt politicians.
Camilla Parker Bowles lost a lot of money as a Lloyds Name when it got into a lot of trouble. Prince Charles bailed her out.
What do you suggest the masses do about it?
I continue to recommend this extraordinary documentary since it was first released & even shared it today again on social media. Its timeless!
Super informative and a great production. I learnt more about the City in 80 mins than I have throughout my life. Thank you
OMG this is the truth absolutely not many if any British people know absolutely nothing of this what an eye opener this is the secrecy we never new about x
Coming from South Africa I have always wondered how Africa with all it's resources could be so poor. I always knew they were being plundered, but never knew how deep the rabbit hole went. Thanks for such an informative documentary.
@Boerboel 1652 you didn't really listen to the doco too well. It explained it very clearly. Listen to it again with 100 % attention and it will become clear.
Resources do not necessarily mean rich.
19th century U.S. was a vast resource rich continent, but developing it for a burgeoning population took vast amounts of capital - roads, canals, ports, factories, railroads. So UK was the prime investor and had a superior balance for 110 years. It took WWI to change balance in U.S. direction.
No foreigner is plundering Africa. Africans are doing it to themselves and the majority are allowing the minority get away with it. Clean out your own clutter first then you might be able to see ahead
Africa never had wealth
It was and is the rape of my country

Agree fully. There are obviously issues the left and right disagree on, but many others we have the same complaint, and being divided due to *squirrel!* only hurts us all. TPTB doing these things come from both parties (all parties for our British cousins), so anyone putting it in a left/right context should have it explained (non-confrontationally) that both sides are doing it to all of us. Even the commies and capitalists teamed up in WWII. Not just armies, but individuals who were behind the lines. Divided, making each other the devil, is just how TPTB want us. Because divided and squabbling amongst each other, we're toast.
I agree!!

What the elites are doing is a criminal act and in most democratic countries and any drug baron or criminal activity carried out financially ALL assets are immediately frozen and assets are given to the state especially in the UK..If this was done all $52 trillion would sort poverty out over night ..If their is no transparency over ownership of any monies or business then freeze all assets confiscate all monies involved and businesses who are connected to such trusts and foundations ..We cannot have one rule for the poor and another rule for the rich ..Remember the people are the real power and videos like this are the source to educating the real power because the many not the few will win in any future vote on stopping this criminal act
Wonderful documentary, a great job by the production and all the people involved. Well done to the team.
During the German occupation of the Channel Islands in WW2 the collaborators accumulated huge amounts of occupation marks. When the Islands were liberated to keep the economic life of the islands running the British government exchanged occupation marks for pounds sterling. Thus the collaborators became millionaires overnight. I have family in the Channel Islands and know what life is like there.
What was general occupations for accumulating those marks? I.e. what did the chanelers do to get the cash on average - do you think?
The City of London"s (within London) similarities to The Vatican are startling. Empires don't just die, they mutate.
Washington along with the Vatican and City of London make up the 3 state empire.
That's why they dropped Vatican - to have their own. Better one. The religion of money.
Let’s not for get the American military power...the war machine!
D.C. is also it's own separate and autonomous area.
They are one and the same.
This is one of the most Brilliant documentaries of our time! The more I watched it, the more I had to pause it and the more I understood it, the deeper and deeper it got...
Amazing job guys... simply Amazing!
Adam Abraham 👍
Yes, yes, yes!
Absolutely blown away, what an incredibly intriguing and insightful documentary! Should be a part of high school curriculum 👍👌
Superb documentary. Informative and concise. Thank you for your service : )
Sometimes UA-cam's recommendations are brilliant. This is one of those times. :)
Shame they don't pay tax though!
Still an echo chamber
well said
Yes, agree, they steered me away from another iceberg loaded with evil. Recommendations
@@morand-gw7xn 'iceberg loaded with evil' ..bloody great definition there.
note if you want youtube recommendations to offer up somehting a little different try mispelling a common word..
I love when I come across a documentary that actually teaches me about a subject I knew nothing about. I knew my country (USA) was intensely corrupt in terms of finance and tax evasion, but I had no idea that it was like this in the UK. Thank you for making this film! I hope you make more!
The banking elites aren't confined to the USA, but are interconnected globally. They do as they wish. Money is power, but information is absolute power. The elites control both. We are seeing the corruption concerning the Jeffery Epstein situation with pedophilia and the people connected. The rabbit hole is much deeper than people realize.
Paul R. Screvane As they say the apple 🍎 does not fall far from the tree that grew it .✌️
Please open your mind even further, young man...and know this : You do not even KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR OWN COUNTRY PROPERLY.
The USA is not the American constitutional government but a private corporate central banking entity that has a strangle hold on the currency of the world's people through the debasement of language (terms that don't mean what we are trained to think they mean, etc...) AND control of all means of knowledge, the major media, education, Organized Religion, the world's people's minds, the stock market...CONTROL OF everything to the point that makes the statement true that goes like this..., "Nothing happens by accident in the Politics of Power". Everything is controlled by those who have stolen the largest pile of resources to begin with THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, and maintained through the power thus accrued through continuing criminal activity.
It would be best if you did some of your own research through the Law Library's congressional records books, the federal register and learn what real Law is and how it gets to be real Law instead of corporate policy masquerading as Law.
Kenneth Kaser Globally, I guess we know then who benefits most from the global NWO.
@Paul R. Screvane. I'm in the same boat with you. I'm only now learning about Britain's empire history and the financial acrobatics, living as a Dutchy in Britain. There are still signs of shame, and speaking with a double tongue, inhibition too, present in the British population. I believe they're not over it yet, that Britain lost so much of its expansive power and wealth. After all, it's now in a poor state. There are those, in Britain, who truly believe that Britain will restore its former Empire, by voting Brexit. That's how irrational some are and at a loss for realism.
this documentary deserves an award and should be broadcast on TV as well as highschools and a welcome documentary to applied economics, social studies, its the best documentary i have seen, mind blowing, awesome eye opener,
Haha! THAT certainly WON'T happen in a million years!
Don’t forget the Queen never bowed to NO ONE … EXCEPT THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF LONDON … LET THAT NOT GO OVER YOUR HEADS
Great documentary for 4k, which is 1000 times better, truthful and cheaper than what BBC throws to their audience to get them brainwashed. I enjoyed every second of this. Thank you for making this, it has open my mind much more 😃

The BBC is a disgrace. A plaything for the likes of Reith and arch freak Cosmo. Their belief in their own moral superiority beggars belief. The wheels keep turning and the cess tank spills.
What an outstanding doc! The director, Michael, must be protected at all costs!!!
As a British African this made me really depressed to be honest. I know of this country horrible past but being born and living here made me think it was behind them. To think its still happening, even worse at that. The whole Africa being in debt as a creditor just really makes me lose hope. I'm at university and a lot expect me to work a top corporate job but i'm gagging at the thought as of now. We may think we are the 99% and we can go against the 1% but we forget that the 1% hold 99% of the power. I don't think in my lifetime i'll see the stability of my home continent and it makes me want to cry.
Good news is that at least Russia has closed all the Africa debts. There is still humanity...
Truth hurts. But we cannot deal with what we don't know. The people around the world must push back.
eh you kinda just accept the nature of reality after awhile... its shocking at first but you have no other choice but to move on with your life
Africa should not be in debt, The US and other countries have given tens of billions of dollars to Africa and it has been stolen by the crooks who are in charge. Get your house in order.
Congratulations on your self motivated success, as an educated individual you possess the ability and have the opportunity to make change for your fellow citizens, putting humanity before profit.
Pray your lifes work leads you to a career that uplifts your fellow man for although corruption abounds so does good works that uplift the spirit and makes life fruitful.
We need to protect the people who made this, this is one of the most educated thing i have ever watched.... The concept, the story and the knowledge behind this is amazing!
I can't even watch the whole movie, it's just sickening how people love money.. All I can say is, "Thank God I never fell in love with money." Thank God it never got ahold of me and poisoned my soul...
I truly detest shallow materialistic money chasers
@SE ASIA because I'm not a shallow materialistic creature like you? go to hell piece of shit.
Smith my grandma always said that self praise was no praise at all
I don't feel this way anymore about money. It was used to create emotional pain to feed off of peoples spirits. But it has also been used to share and provide for one another in fairness and reciprocity. I believe in the expansion of this model of using money. It's too easy to just go against something used as a tool by this toxic elite. They can use the opposition easily but if we go with it with our own values intact and strengthened by steady practice, we can transform the entire modality.
@@sebastianhall6554 Respect to your Grandma - she was and still is correct ⚘
" A young man wanted to be a banker.
An old man told him,
Do you have the devil on your side?
You will need him. "
The young man replied '' I am the Devil''
Thank you so much for this brilliant documentary! I was glued to this exercise in affirmation.
That police officer should be ashamed of himself. a disgrace to society
Quotation: "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."- Thomas Jefferson.
But every Bank in America is private property even the federal reserves are private. Did you know that for all this year's.
I read somewhere Kennedy was killed because he was against the Federal Reserve and wanted to shut it down.
Brian Paton I’ve read and heard the same. He also wanted to stop the war in Vietnam, when a couple of billion dollar’s worth of arms were ready to be shipped. He was way ahead of his time. RIP.
@ Dylan Stewart -- I see you have done your homework...and thanks for sharing. I have a couple of links to share with you : www.expose1933.com/
It's a great site because it has many issues it has exposed as related because they are all organizations of the 1% who are trying to destroy humanity and enslave only the few die-hards willing to be abject slaves.
Here is another link but I have had to include the whole citation which up until a few days ago was STILL on the internet...the 1% are deleting many great sites every minute of every day so I check often to see if the ones I cite are still up. Here it is...you can check and see it no longer comes up with the link provided:

First corporation EVER!
Quick Take --
God, demon servant, master, parasite or provider -- what exactly is the corporation? In his pioneering study of the most powerful form of social organization ever invented, The History of the Corporation, Volume 1, Bruce Brown traces the development of the corporate idea from the oldest surviving corporation -- the Benedictine Order of the Catholic Church, founded circa 529 AD -- through the Dark Ages, when corporations first ruled human beings. This is the seminal history of the incorporal, conceptional creatures we call corporations, from the fall of Rome through the First Dominion of the Corporation.
Excerpt
www.tax-freedom.com/ta16013.htm
This link directly above is a page right out of a 26 USC Code book. The Income tax was NEVER passed into Law. Notice how sneakily they make it seem as if it has been....the ones with out the asterisk have not been passed into law.
The big bad cancer cell of the Jesuits (ruling bloodline) have been operating from the Vatican wearing their holy robes while they plied their evil agenda the world over; equal opportunity haters of humanity.....and this is not to speak ill of the genuinely decent people that are Catholic. They have been fooled also and many are scrambling to leave the church. People can be spiritual without belonging to an Organized Religious Corporation. ....
Hope you find these shared links helpful.
@Sayit AsItIs -- Everything about the Federal Reserve is smoke and mirrors ; even that it has NEVER been enacted into Law.

I'm so impressed with the bravery of whistleblowers, researchers and reporters in exposing the corruption that is effectively exploiting our world and ordinary people. It's disgusting that their courage is needed more than ever at this time of the greatest plandemic ever.
😀😁😆
Indeed. The guy who worked for that important management firm and declared not one company was working within the legal boundaries is a hero
It would be more brave if they explain who owns the Empire now! It looks like the city managed to gather up the scraps.
This emphasis on taxation and regulation is all to assert further control from Wall Street.
Stakeholder capitalism they have called it.
As part of the Lend-lease agreements Britain hat to Grant independence to any country that wanted it not for the sake of the countries themselves, The financial control of Wall Street that was why.
And they have the guts to call another country corrupt!
Phenomenal production for 4k . Thank you . Have to say, only number 3 really matters it covers the other 4 if 100% transparency occurs.
The fact that this documentary doesn't have 60 million views is proof of how asleep the population is, we are focused on hating each other, blaming each other, wondering why things are tough and the answer is right in front of us and yet we chose not to confront it and stick our heads in the sand as we carve our way into a decent life with our bare hands .
Because msm is owned and manipulated by the same elites and from what I can tell, most regular people trust the msm..
Shut up
You're right, the problem is that we let the government steal our money and squander it on unrealistic social schemes impoverishing us all.
'Focus on hating each other', etc is not at all accidental.....
The fact that no one but me has looked up who the people in the film are proves that no one who has watched the film has any idea what kind of game we are playing and on what kind of pitch......! Without a detailed biography nothing should be believed!
I'll stop the video and check it out first?
George Soros was a student at the London School of Economics...shall I introduce you? One of the most famous globalist training specialists. He is mentioned in the biographies of two openers. And one of them is a World Bank employee....What has been said about the World Bank and the Currency Fund in the developing world since the 90s?
"The 5th and 6th horsemen of the apocalypse!"
They have left no stone unturned where they set foot.
Look at Greece after 2008 Hungary.....was also on the verge of bankruptcy. Hungarians chased away the IMF after disputes in 2011. Greeks listened to them. Where is the Greek economy today how much national wealth is left? Where is Hungary today?
Inside Job anno same thing...Who was interviewed? Soros? Christine Lagarde? And they were the ones who were looking after the global financial markets?
Why is one hand slapping the other?
For me, in this film, at 35 minutes in, they even threw up why?
How well all the big international organisations have done lately! No?
WHO-Civid. Ukraine...shall I list them? Yes so limp even an international tax organization! It will definitely be better for everyone. Or not...
1:08:23 "you will depart immediately before we set the dogs on you!" wow what era are these feudal thieves living in!?!?
Definitely said dogs
DrNawMai No, “dogs”, and besides, one doesn’t say “cops” at an Oxford formal hall dinner.
+ Alex. Vlad the Impaler had some fine dining ideas.
that elite arrogance struck me hard too.
15 adds, very greedy
Very few people outside britain know about the distinct city of London. And I imagine even fewer know about its role in global finance and money laundering
Exceptional work. This documentary is eye opening.
The stuart syvret part, the psychological war against him was the most heartbreaking part about this
Kind of similar to the psychological war against the the people right now?
now you know why the government finds it so important to provide the schools in the UK with a national curriculum that ensures we learn about loads of pointless stuff, but never about really important things like how the country is run, and how banking and money works - it's simply "not in the public interest" whilst what is taught to the young etonians and those from Harrow is a very different kettle of fish altogether!
Same with the us. We learn about politics rigorously, but are never taught about the history of our federal reserve or financial system, even though that’s what controls day to day life the most.
@@trevor7355 That's unfortunately because most people don't understand how it works.
It's not that teachers are forbidden from teaching these topics, they just aren't qualified.
@@f.p.5410 They have to follow a curriculum…
@@hargydon Yes, but a curriculum only specifies minimum requirements. Nothing stops them from teaching more.
The issue is that most people do not understand banking, so even if they wanted to teach how the Fed works they wouldn't be able to.
@@f.p.5410 Even from a non-conspirator perspective, any deviation from the set curriculum is time consuming and irrelevant to their studies so will not happen without negative consequences, any reports would potentially reprimand and more than likely event in dismissal of said teachers should they continue deviating from the set-plans. I wish it was as simple as you’re making it out to be but regrettably that’s a very idealistic view on education that simply cannot exist in the real world. I wish it did.
Unless you have examples of such I’d stand corrected?
Great documentary for 4k, which is 1000 times better, truthful and cheaper than what BBC throws to their audience to get them brainwashed. I enjoyed every second of this. Thank you for making this, it has open my mind much more
Great work. I argue that the UK and the US are now being reiteratively, internally colonised. Wealth extraction has moved onto us.
We won't see this broadcast on the BBC anytime soon 😩
Redpill Tj. Never.
Too true!
Actually they do these documentaries all the time telling you the truth, people just think it's life.
Redpill Tj British brain washing Corporation. Fake news for the brain dead. They are part of the system...which were not part off. Invester channel
prettymochame just T
CORRECT. THEY HAVE DONE A LOT OF EXPOSES OF ALL KINDS OF THINGS LIKE THIS. I DON'T WATCH TV ANYMORE ETC, BUT OVER THE YEARS I SAW OR NOTICED WERE ON, A HUGE AMOUNT OF THESE KINDS OF DOCUMENTARIES. AND YES, IF U SPEAK TO PEOPLE ABOUT SUCH ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS, THEY JUST THINK IT'S HOW THE WORLD IS, THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.
I'M NOT A MONEY PERSON, BUT IF I WON MONEY (ABOUT THE ONLY WAY I'LL EVER HAVE ANY, CAUSE I WILL NEVER SELL OUT, I COULD BE RICH EASILY IF I DID) I WOULD USE TAX HAVENS OR HIGH INTEREST SWISS ACCOUNTS, OBVIOUSLY. UNLESS I KNEW THEY BACKED VENTURES I DON'T AGREE WITH. I DON'T SUPPORT ANY OF THIS TYPE OF ECONOMY ETC, ALL I MEAN IS THAT IF I HAPPENED TO COME INTO MONEY, I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM SHIFTING IT OFFSHORE OR WHATEVER.
Very good low-budget documentary. I enjoyed it. Good pictures, good alternation, good narrator's voice and highly interesting subject. Thanks.
This is probably the real reason for Brexit. England wanted to prevent Europe from participating in or intervening in this enterprise. 😢
I am so sad and so angry, after watching this! We need more of this conciousness, so that one day everybody can see through the lies, that we get told everyday,
Excellent stuff. "Value for money". A big thank you to the team who produced this.
Thank you for making such a well made documentary. It confirms what many people already thought of our corrupt establishment and explained it in a clear and precise manner.
And 'our' roads are full of potholes.
Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant documentary ‼️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
For a budget of £4000, that is fantastic quality.
Probably could have been a lot less if they used Hollywood accounting.
Yeah it’s amazing what you can accomplish with raw talent
And still people prefer to believe expensive produced lies, spin, outlandish conspiracy nerds & propaganda; detrimental to us all.

Absolutely excellent documentary...well done. Great admiration and respect for former Jersey Senator Stuart Syvret ! Hope he is well and Bravo.
Watching this documentary made me respect Michael Hudson even more. He's a great professor and economist. His analysis on the root causes of US economic rot and decline is brilliant.
Very well done. This documentary should be seen by all.
This is real Journalism done with a small budget producing invaluable information.
👍👍👍👍👍 !!!
55:15 "There is no place for dirty money anywhere." Hah! The whole world is awash in dirty money, everywhere and at all times.
Excellent MOVIE! Now we can watch that all Mighty British Empire has crushed into pieces. Never to get back... Even with Commonwealth & Financial Web... Brits are the PAST not the FUTURE...
Great documentary and fascinating how it came to the surface......The truth surpasses the fiction !
Well done to the team who produced this content.
I want to start by saying "Great Job" ...I really learned something from this!!! I really appreciate the people interviewed and how much information and work put in to achieve it!!! The Courage to put good information for everyone to see...Keep Up The Great Work!!!✌🏽

This is a brilliant exposé. I'm a poor man in Sri Lanka where illegal activity of this sort has reduced the average human to misery.
Remarkable courageous journalism. Thank you! I will watch this again and speak of it widely...
FoxIslanderSteve That is a great idea - I will do the same with my daughter! 🌺
This pretty much sums up the state of the world.
Well not entirely, as there is still the matter of the USAs military industrial complex or as otherwise called the Pentagon System. If that machine is not fueled by its regular wars the US people who are largly depending on that industry are worse of, so expect more wars from them no matter who is the president. Trump may not have started new wars, but one of his first actions as president was to give the military card blanche to do whatever the fuck they want in existing theaters.
Problem is, there are not that many place left which still would rectify to be blown to pieces so that Hallyburton could come in to build it back up again and we get another satalite place with a McDonalds and another Disney World.
Therefor either old enemies will need to be targeted again or some friends wont be friends anymore. All so the machine keeps running.
Between London and the gungho military nutcases of the falling apart USA, I'm waiting for the poor nations including many of the component nations of the DisUnited Kingdom like Scotland to turn on these corrupt swine in London's evil Financial industries who are ripping off the world for their own benefit. London is twinned with Soddom that's why I'm waiting for it to go the same way.
@@williamwilson2270 The UK is the last British Colony. There are a number of private banks in Edinburgh. Charlotte Square.
Here in Bristol UK, the sheeple undermined the attempts to dissolve the influence of the Bristol Society of Merchant Venturers by throwing a statue into the city docks. The SMVs are an incorporation of the Crown and hold influence over the city, the universities, and schools, so they feed more of the same into society. Bristol is actually in a state of disarray, the legal sector, accountants, finance,BCC, are all influenced by the SMVs self-interest.
I am grateful and indebted to Mr Michael Oswald for this documentary.
superb work. wish we had more real und truthful journalists
