In a move consistent with the overall suppression of free speech, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed plans to require a review from either The New York Times or the Los Angeles Times for documentaries to qualify for Oscar consideration (as reported today).http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
While it's public knowledge that only five companies control virtually all the mass media in the United States, it's less understood that these five companies, along with most of the 43,000 transnational corporations on this planet, are controlled by a few banks and holding companies that report to a handful of families and financiers (see recent study by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich).
In recent years, popular documentaries, such as "Inside Job" and "Capitahttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giflism: A Love Story," have revealed the means by which the private corporate banking pyramid that controls the central banks and once-sovereign currencies of the majority of nations leverages its control over the money creation process to profit from war, disease, and ignorance, and steal the assets produced by the 99%.
By this proposed action, Hollywood shows itself, once again, to be a propaganda tool of the banks.
Oh, and did we mention that it was reported today that The New York Times was giving a $15 million golden parachute to its failed outgoing CEO Janet Robinson, while it was simultaneously freezing pensions and scaling back health savings plans (to the tune of $9 million) for foreign correspondents and staff working overseas? This was news deemed "not fit to print" in "the newspaper of record for the 1%."

Conscious Media Network's announcement and David Wilcock's claims
We have read and heard a variety of claims regarding the present transformation.
Before commenting on the claims in Conscious Media Network's video supposedly announcing a benevolent one world currency, we would like to comment on David Wilcock’s recent and related statements. They contain a number of falsehoods that seriously undermine their credibility.
First, Wilcock’s claims that "the Elders" have what is considered to be “real money.” Beware: "Sound money" is a bankster scam. Gold is not money; it is a commodity. If the new system is based on gold, we will remain slaves. Human beings (labor) must be at the center. That is the only way to create a spiritual system.
"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." --President Abraham Lincoln, Annual Address to Congress, December 3, 1861 (Selections from the Letters, Speeches, and State Papers of Abraham Lincoln, by Abraham Lincoln, edited by Ida Minerva Tarbell, Ginn & Company, 1911, p. 77)
Lincoln understood that money is simply a means of accounting for the value created from human labor, which is why he printed U.S. Treasury "Greenbacks," based on the "full faith and credit of the U.S." This is also why he was assassinated.
Second, Wilcock claims that the financial backing of these Chinese Elders ("celestials") are what made the ascension of the United States, from "a few ragtag colonies" to "the world's pre-eminent superpower."
This is untrue; the colonies were very prosperous, because they each had their own bank and printed their own currency (as Benjamin Franklin told the British in London); the colonies became impoverished when the private British banks got Parliament to prohibit them from printing their own scrip and made them pay taxes in gold and silver, which they didn’t have. This caused a depression--the real cause behind the Revolutionary War.
Wilcock also claims that "Without gold to secretly back up the issuance of American currency, they (the U.S.) never would have been able to afford to grow so fast. It would have been a massive bubble that would be constantly threatened with destruction."
In fact, as noted earlier, "sound money" is a scam. There are many reasons why gold doesn't work, among them is that there is not enough of it to back a currency that expands in a certain proportion to the value being constantly created by human labor (and its adjuncts, including machines and computers). The U.S. dollar has never been fully backed by gold and was eventually taken off the fake gold standard when, during Nixon's presidency, Great Britain demanded gold in exchange for Federal Reserve Notes.
Wilcock also says, "... the biggest secret of the United States is that it was all built up with Asian money -- directly from the Elders." This doesn’t make sense, unless the Elders controlled the Rothschilds, in which case the Elders wouldn’t have to sue them at the BIS (Bank of International Settlements, the central bank of the central banks), which Wilcock is also claiming.
Wilcock says, "America was a rebellion against colonial, imperial, monarchic rule in Europe -- and the Asians saw this as a very necessary investment for their own security." Truth be told, the US remained enslaved by Euro bankers from then (before the revolution) until now (through European control of our currency and banking system).
Wilcock continues his fairy tale: "Essentially, the English were invading Asia, bit by bit -- since that's where all the money was." Actually, that’s where spices and other resources were. There was plenty of gold in the new world, as Cortez discovered.
Wilcock says, "Shiploads of gold, averaging 2000 metric tons per trip, were routinely being sent to the United States. This gold was secretly used as collateral by the United States Treasury to issue currency -- financing an unprecedented industrial expansion." The only times that publicly owned currency was issued in the US were the Continental, during the Revolution, which the British counterfeited and devalued, the Greenback, which Lincoln printed until they shot him, and Kennedy’s Silver Certificates, which ended after they shot him and Johnson rescinded Executive Order 11110.
Finally, Wilcock says, "Another part of this legacy that has carried through into modern times, with very few people being aware of it, is one of the largest tea companies in the world being named after the Celestials -- invoking all the mysteries and wonder of the spice trade." This is very funny. Celestial Seasonings was started by Mo Siegel, a Boulder-area hippie at the time, who picked herbs on public land to sell at the Green Mountain Granary.
Enough of Wilcock's drivel. He is in no position to criticize the video shown here; however, we do have some concerns.
In this video, the text reads, "It is commerce aimed at the creation of scalable affluence for the greatest number of people within a sustainable, asset backed 'bubble up' global economy."
While we welcome a sustainable credit-based monetary system, we question the meaning of "asset backed," because, as noted above, for a system to benefit human beings, it must be based on human beings, not material objects, commodities, or money as a store of value, with a life of its own (that is, the charging of interest).
In the instant that interest is charged, money (which began as a measure of labor) is inflated and labor is deflated. This is why, in what many mistakenly see as an uncharacteristic moment, Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple. In actuality, this action is perfectly consistent with Jesus' teachings: "You cannot worship G-d and mammon." The anger of the avatar is not the same as common anger; it is righteous anger that serves as a lesson to those who experience it.
Another skeptical aspect to this video is, as others have noted above, the lack of transparency as to who is delivering this.
Finally, we are skeptical of the hierarchical system being presented, particularly the notion of a one-world currency that usurps sovereignty from nations. We agree with an earlier comment that economic systems need to be decentralized. That is the way we are going to rebuild Main Street. One of the financiers’ current scams is the Euro, which is bringing an entire continent to its knees through debt-based currency.
As a recent study from the Swiss Federal Institute in Zurich shows, the current system is completely controlled by the bankers (http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21228354.500-revealed--the-capitalist-network-that-runs-the-world.html). Here is graphic representation of this system: http://www.thrivemovement.com/followthemoneypyramid. This type of centralization must end. This is not, as the Tea Party claims, "crony capitalism." It is monopoly capitalism. As we said earlier, people and living things must be the focus, not capital.
All this said, we welcome the possibility that those who have perpetrated and continue to perpetrate the current system are, one person at a time, in the process of transforming themselves, from their hearts, to a place where they see the necessity for the evolution of our economic system in consonance with our spiritual development.
To this end, today we offer the second--in a continuing series of—cosmic comedy videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIitMGu1yI8.
