Well done.
You’ve unearthed a video that sums up in 45 minutes much of what I’ve read in all the articles and books about the current economic crisis.
Very much worth forwarding on to interested parties.
Obviously appertains mainly to the USA, but uncannily also mirrors very much what happened here in Britain.

Maybe a summary for those of us that don't want to click on an untagged link?

In times of crisis people seek strong leaders and simple solutions. But what if their solutions are identical to the mistakes that caused the very crisis? This is the story of the greatest economic crisis of our age, the one that awaits us.

Without commenting on the merits of the video, Bernanke looked awfully trepidatious, don't ya think???
WOW!! Great documentary.
Alright, i clicked through and watched part of it. Pretty good. No way that was produced in the States.
So, one of the interesting analysts in that video was the Celente fellow. I searched for his articles or webpage and what I found was a whole lot of crazy end-of-civilization type stuff. Was not expecting that. Interesting video nonetheless but perhaps some of the insight wasn't as grounded as the production level made it appear.

OK, here's a clue for all you folks who take this kind of video seriously.
When a video is accompanied by overly dramatic music, is filled with miscellaneous sound-bites taken out of context, constantly jumps between emotionally charged images, and makes generous use of quotes from folks who are not far removed from the kool-aid gang it is...anyone?...anyone?...Yes, that is right, it is designed to appeal to the emotions, not the intellect.
For your own good, have a good laugh at it if you must, but don't think it is about knowledge, understanding, wisdom, or anything else that will serve you, the truth, or humanity anything worthwhile (other than perhaps a good laugh).

You provided no refutation whatsoever of anything stated in the video, so why should anyone listen to you?
