I've been watching an interesting video titled
The Money Masters. It's a look back throughout history on how central banks (or rather, a few families) have gained control over entire countries through money. It's particularly interesting to see their struggle against the Russian Czars and the United States early on and evidence for their involvement throughout history's largest wars.
If you are at all interested in economics or the history of central banks this video is food for thought. I haven't had a chance to research the various quotes and information put forth in the video, but it makes sense from a logical perspective. It's also a little scary knowing the power of a few individuals, and makes you question recent wars. If it's true, someone somewhere has a whole lot of blood on their hands.
Google Video has the series available online for free,
