Excellent show guys
I particularly liked the dot connecting by Jason and Pierre towards the end. By coincidence, I've been watching the documentary The Money Masters today as well as the StormCloudsGathering series, which also contains one or two about the money scam. As I'm watching them, I have moments of understanding but I still have moments of confusion when they talk about stocks and bonds and fractional reserves etc - even when they explain these things simply! So, a couple of lights went on in my head when you started talking about ponerology: I remembered back to when I was reading Ponerology and trying to think of a good example of the "good times" Lobaczewski mentions that inevitably lead to bad times and how these "good times" usually come at great expense to others.
So I appreciated the summary of how the infection takes over by Jason and how in the fifties it wasn't yet noticable followed by Pierre's talking about them being "good times" at the expense of other nations.
In the documentaries (The Money Masters and The Secret of Oz) he talks about the petro-dollar and how the Fed has sought to keep control of the economy through it; how Saddam switched to euros just before they decided he wasn't their friend anymore - let's just say I still haven't grasped the whole concept and how it works but after this, I feel better prepared! And to cap it all, you're interviewing the author of Web of Debt next week :D
Thanks again guys!
