"Read and watch" links

Here are some essential sources of information. I tried to provide a videolinks whenever possible. There is a lot of written word but it may be sometimes difficult to read it. If you are interested and motivated you'll easily find it.

These presentations and movies will give you an alternative perspective on the world we live in. They are not meant to scare you or to make you depressed, although that could be a side effect of watching them initially. The purpose is to make you think more deeply about what is happening and how it can be influenced or changed. Unless people are aware and educated we stand no chance to change anything. Without understanding we will continue to be manipulated and abused. Let's not allow that anymore !

DEBT-FREE MONEY = THE ONLY WAY OUT OF CRISIS
Ben Dyson and his website "Positive Money" explain clearly that the 
fractional reserve banking system is the cause of the crisis and he proposes an elegant solution. I stronly suggest you watch his video lectures and if you agree, please support his campaign. This should be the "backbone" of the Occupy the Wall Street movement.

ANALYTICAL SURVIVAL - YouTube Series
This series provides an excellent introduction to survival preparedness. Something most people would consider a total "overkill". However, remember the "black swan" events do come without warning. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO 
Monsanto is the world leader in genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as well as one of the most controversial corporations in industrial history. This century-old empire has created some of the most toxic products ever sold, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and the herbicide Agent Orange.Behind its clean, green image, Monsanto is tightening its grasp on the world seed market, striving for market supremacy to the detriment of food security and the global environment.

BEST BOOK ON ECONOMY - if you want to read a single book I recommend to start with

George Bernard Shaw : The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism, Capitalism, Sovietism and Fascism. It is old but it explains the causes of our current problems very very clearly, without the usual "gibberish" used by mainstream economists
