on the World Trade Center in 1993.

They actually hired Emad Salem

and paid him 1 million dollars

and gave him real explosives, a detonator

and told him to build a bomb

and to give it to the foolish people

that he was controlling

to allow them to attack

the World Trade Center complex.

Unfortunately for them, there were only

six people killed,

not enough to pass the legislation.

So , what happened is two years later,

April 19, 1995

down comes Oklahoma City, the Murrah Building

It was at half past 9 this morning.

We were actually running an exercise

for a company of over a thousand people in London

based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the

railway stations where it happened this morning,

so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck

standing up right now.

To get this quite straight,

you were running an exercise

to see how you would cope with this

and it happened while you were running the exercise?

Precisely.

We're supposed to believe that

there were some kind of coincidence.

There was also an anti-terrorist drill going on on 7/7.

And again, just like on 9/11

they were talking about attacks on the

same targets, the same tube stations

at the exactly the same time

as the actual attack happened

providing some kind of cover for what must be

operations orchestrating in some way by the States

I am absolutely appalled about

how much people in this country do not think.

We are given to understand that an Arabic guy

out there up in the mountains

financed the most elaborate attack on this country.

Do you think some people in a cave

were able to have NORAD stand down?

Do you think that people in the cave

were able to have all of this happen?

And when I think about how many Americans

were killed in New York City

and believing as I do that this thing

was a set up job,

this is a textbook operation that Nazis used

and they've used it over and over again.

America has been suckered in one more time.

I don't have to tell you things are bad.

Everybody knows things are bad.

The dollar buys a nickel's worth.

Banks are going bust.

Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter.

Punks are running wild in the street.

There's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do,

and there's no end to it.

We know the air is unfit to breathe

and our food is unfit to eat.

We sit watching our TVs

while some local newscaster tells us

that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes

as if that's the way it's supposed to be!

We know things are bad.

Worse than bad. They're crazy.

It's like everything everywhere is going crazy,

so we don't go out anymore.

We sit in the house and slowly the world

we're living in is getting smaller.

And all we say is, "Please, at least

leave us alone in our living rooms.

Let me have my toaster and my TV, my steel-belted radials

and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone."

Well I'm not gonna leave you alone.

I want you to get mad!

I don't want you to protest,

I don't want you to riot.

I don't want you to write to your congressman

because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write.

I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation

and the Russians and the crime in the street.

All I know is that first you've got to get mad!

You've got to say,

"I'm a human being, goddamn it!

My life has value!"

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The very word "secrecy" is repugnant

in a free and open society.

And we are as a people

inherently and historically

opposed to secret societies,

to secret oaths,

and to secret proceedings.

For we are opposed around the world

by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy

that relies primarily on covert means

for expanding its sphere of influence

on infiltration instead of invasion,

on subversion instead of elections,

on intimidation instead of free choice,

It is a system which has conscripted

vast human and material resources

into the building of a tightly knit,

highly efficient machine

that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence,

economic, scientific and political operations.

its preparations are concealed, not published.

Its mistakes are buried, not headlined.

Its dissenters are silenced, not praised.

No expenditure is questioned,

no secret is revealed.

That is why the Athenian law-maker Solon

decreed it a crime for any citizen

to shrink from controversy.

I am asking your help in the tremendous

task of informing and alerting the American people,

confident that with your help

man will be what he was born to be:

free and independent.

as the American colonies sought

to the detach from England

and its oppressive monarchy.

Though many reasons are sided for the revolution,

one in particular sticks out as the prime cause -

that King George III of England outlawed

the interest-free independent currency

the colonies were producing

and using for themselves.

In turn forcing them to borrow money

from the Central Bank of England, at interest,

he immediately put the colonies in the debt.

And as Benjamin Franklin later wrote:

In 1783 America won its independence from England.

However, its battle against the

Central Bank concept

and the corrupt, greed filled men associated with it

had just begun.

So what is a central bank?

A central bank is an institution that

produces the currency of an entire nation.

Based on historical precedent, two specific powers

are inherent in central banking practice:

the control of interest rates

and the control of the money supply, or inflation.

The central bank does not simply supply

a government's economy with money,

it loans it to them at interest.

Then through the use of increasing

and decreasing of supply of money

the central bank regulates the value

of the currency being issued.

It is critical to understand that

the entire structure of this system

can only produce one thing

in the long run

debt.

It doesn't take a lot of ingenuity

to figure their scam now.

For, every single dollar produced

by the central bank is loaned at interest.

That means every single dollar produced

is actually the dollar plus

a certain percent of debt

based on that dollar.

And since the central bank has the monopoly

of the production of the currency for the entire country

and they loan each dollar out

with an immediate debt attached to it,

where does the money that pay

for the debt come from?

It can only come from the central bank again.

Which means the central bank has to

perpetually increase its money supply

to temporarily cover the outstanding debt created

which in turn, since that new money

is loaned out at interest as well

creates even more debt.

The end result of this system

without fail is slavery

for it is impossible for the government,

and thus the public,

to ever come out of the self-generating debt.

The founding fathers of this country

were well aware of this.

By the early 20th century

the US have already implemented

and removed a few central banking systems,
