If an alternative to our current financial system does exist … it appears that it is not a renewal of the gold standard !
This is an excellent documentary, by Bill Still, which supports debt free creation of money by governments.

The historical background presented is amazing.
US Greenbacks are actually consider in a positive light as opposed to being a fiat currency failure, as it is put into a different historical perspective.
Even the Wizard of Oz story and the relevation that Dorothy had silver slippers (in the book) and not ruby (as per the movie) is of interest around the US movement to use monetary silver to free the government from the gold bankers plutocracy and their control of the money supply.
The entire 2 hours is an eye opener. I remain amazed at what is on the internet and produced by such keenly motivated people.
We really do need to free ourselves of this serfdom.
The problem however is that there are many gold bugs who see a gold standard as the solution which this documentary clearly demonstrates is not the reform path. So how can the Debt Free Money team gain the alliance of the gold standard bugs ? Until that happens the resistance movement to the current financial system will remain divided !
