@izzythepush,
I only watched the first 15 minutes and he seemed right on target but then he did go into conspiracy theories afterwards! Drunk

He was basically talking about monetary mechanics!

You may be already well informed on the subject if not search it out if you do not trust him!

@reasoning logic,
If you write down the main points he is making I'll comment. I've got a lot of housework on now, and am not going to spend over half an hour watching that. Spendi had a point, when he said it's quite vain of you to expect us to pay attention to whatever strikes your fancy on youtube at the moment. If Icke is making valid points list them, otherwise don't expect anyone to waste half an hour of their lives watching a man who believes he is Jesus, and that the queen is a shape changing reptile.

Like I said he was speaking about monetary mechanics which many people have spoken about over the years.
I do not want to write a book about the subject because that is what it would take but if you can, "make time and do a research about how our monetary system works.

There are many economist's videos on youtube and books about it out there!

@reasoning logic,
You expect me to spend half an hour watching a video, but you're not prepared to list the salient points. I'm not asking you to write a book.

No not exactly only 10 minutes because he goes into conspiracy theories after that!

If you do not have a general understanding about monetary mechanics then it would be like someone pointing out facts about Astrophysics to me!

It is not as complex as Astrophysics but it does take a little in depth research!

@reasoning logic,
I'm researching Italian Theatre right now. You can't list the salient points because I won't understand them, not because you can't list them. I don't tell you to go off and research things, and I think you're being quite arrogant expecting me to act like your student. You've yet to say anything to convince me this will not be a fruitless exercise. You expected me to watch that rubbish with a woman outside a bank weith a loudhailer going on about how America is still part of the British Empire.

You have a track record of giving serious consideration to mad bollocks, and unless you can convince me that this isn't another voyage into the realms of fantasy, I won't give it any consideration whatsoever.

@izzythepush,
If you are not interested in monetary mechanics then don't do a research!
It would be like me researching something that I find no interest in! Why would I?

@izzythepush,
There's an old joke izzy about a ship's captain deciding to ingratiate himself with the Queen by bringing back from distant travels some casks of wine of delicate flavour. On becoming becalmed there came a point when the wine had to be drunk and to keep the volume up it was decided to return any piss back into the casks. As goats do in dry conditions. By the time the ship docked in Plymouth Sound there was just enough wine left to fill one bottle which was duly presented to Her Majesty who is supposed to have remarked upon its unusual boquet.

What rl has got, it seems to me, is a similar distillation of Christopher Marlowe's gigantic talent sieved through the minds of generations of self-improving types who find their way, by trial and error, into the teaching profession.

rl cannot tell you the salient points because there are none. The only salient point for us is rl's choosing the video out of a space cluttered with such things almost to the extent of an infinitely varied and infinitely extended running buffet or, as you might call it, a help yourself scran, expecting us to watch it and becoming indignant if we forbear the exercise on the basis that we wouldn't expect Icke to tell us the right time if we were stupid enough to expect him to.

Spendius you are silly! You can learn the mechanics of the monetary system without me showing you where to look but that does not mean that you have an interest in doing so!

@izzythepush,
Why dont you look at 10 min. of the video. Youve already spent that long arguing about wether or not to listen to it. Or just ignore him if you dont like him. He makes some good points about banks. When Rush Limbaugh comes on the radio I turn him off because it isent worth my time to listen to him. But I did listen untill i realized what an idiot he is.

Thank you, some advice I could do with. Is it available on youtube?

@izzythepush,
You will probably have to ask your library to get it for you. There are some cheap paperbacks on Abe Books.

Yep! It looks like some church leaders are starting to show empathy for humanity! I guess that this will weed the true followers of Christ from the phonies.
