Debt - the very essence of the banking industry (clip from "The International")






Uploaded by evmazu on Nov 20, 2010

An insider describes that the basis of the banking industry is debt (such as that created in wars and conflicts) and that the goal of the bankers is to make everyone slaves to debt. Although this movie is based on Pakistan's defunct Bank of Credit and Commerce International, it could just have well been based on the Federal Reserve or the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In fact, the name "The International" would have matched up quite nicely with the IMF.

More cerebral than action packed.

And full of little gems like this scene...

Plus, Clive Owen!
