i've made my choice im going to write about the banks. But it is a difficult subject.

recommend me good movies/books about the banks

I watched the first 30minutes of the Money Masters and i have to say it's very interesting but the problem is its boring as fuck :P, but i will give it another shot :P

Aaron Russo's From Freedom to Facism is like Money Masters, except shorter and more amusing.

definitely watch the first part of Zeitgeist Addendum. Aaron Russo's films isn't as boring as Money Masters, but it has a lot less info.

Force yourself through Money Masters if you want to get the most history out of it.

Out of those subjects I would have chosen Banks too. Little safer for class.

Doing a paper for a class has a lot less to do with trying to fix the world, and a lot more to do with getting a good grade. It's not as if your teacher is going to give this paper to the masses and important people or anything.

I wrote a paper in college called "Scientific and Religious Thinking". She gave me a B cause it pissed her off so bad.

.


thnx for the recommandation i will watch money masters not once but atleast 3 times to fully understand what they mean. English isnt my first language so it's hard for me to fully understand a video by only watching it one times.

i can write about israel. My history teacher is an anti zionist. We have the same opinion about the Illegal Occupation of the Palestinian land. But the problem of writing about israel is that i know all that shit already. My knowledge of the corruption of banks is not so great. That's why i want to write about it so that my general knowledge about banks improve and it will help me for situations yet to come ^^

Watching Money Masters 3 times has to be up there with that old christian thing about being able to recite Revelations from the bible.

i need to remember as much as i can, because we must write the essay in class. We have 100minutes to work on our essays. We can have notes but it must not be longer then 300 words. So the majority of the info should be brainwashed in my brains
