Happened across this Documentary on YouTube and ended up spending my Sunday afternoon watching the entire thing. Let me tell you it is LONG...but I couldn't turn it off. It covers the period of about WWI through present day, and discusses the rich as the ruling class. I'm not sure if this has ever been posted on DU before (I did a search but couldn't find anything), so thought I would drop it here on this Sunday evening (having just finished watching it).
I have to say, I enjoyed it quite a bit as it is jam packed with interesting historical facts that I had mostly been unaware of prior to watching this feature. So if you have a Sunday evening with nothing in particular to watch, grab some popcorn, and give it a spin.

(464 posts)....A great deal of info that already knew but more details of WW2 and the profiteering
that really leaves me feeling ill. I've been to Dachau...the smell of the ovens is still
fresh in my mind. I have never believed the official story of 911...but the Bush connection
to the security company was new to me....Marvin Bush where are you now?

BUT, Many here will call it a Tin foil hat Show and you are the wearer! I have head butted many folks about this, they can't and refuse to believe they have been THAT Manipulated. Played like a finely tuned Violin. Yes folks you have as have I. So welcome to My world.

Very informative.

(13,133 posts)was thinking about most of the day. About half of the things i already knew but more important, at least it seemed to me, was how well it was put into context and helped to make those other all those connections in a timeline. It also is could make one angry when one figures how badly those billionaires have duped so many people.
At any rate, it makes a lot of things more understandable

(43,287 posts)Google it and see the author's website. Amazing.
He's a retired schoolteacher in UK, I think, can't tell if his
accent it British, Australian, Irish, Welsh. Irish would be my guess.
Combine it with the Titanic Conspiracy & Federal Reserve, and you've got
world history from about 1880, in a nutshell. Speculative in parts, but amazing.
