Are the biblical Ten Commandments REALLY responsible for our laws and morality, as many Christians claim? Do we owe anything to them at all? (Read on...)

Should they be considered significant? Displayed in public buildings such as schools and courts?

Yahweh, the old testament god, looked into the future and discovered that the mighty western civilization was getting by without paying all that much attention to his commandments, so he thought about changing them a bit in order for them to be reflective of the actual laws and values we hold to.

Some may argue that my claim of "three out of ten" is inaccurate, and that from a certain viewpoint it more be more like four. I can live with that. I did cross reference a number of articles on the net of people claiming it's three, others four. Either way - the purpose of the video is to show that it's closer ZERO than it is to TEN!

Social Credit System Coming To China, With Citizens Scored On Behavior | NBC Nightly News ygrant 81 Views • 5 years ago

A social credit system will go into effect next year across China, where every citizen will be scored based on their behavior. Good actions, like volunteering, and bad, like littering, are tracked using algorithms, artificial intelligence and facial recognition — and there are real consequences for a high or low score.» Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

Nixon 1971: The Day the U.S. President Made the Fiat Dollar the Gold Standard — And Nobody Voted On
Nixon 1971: The Day the U.S. President Made the Fiat Dollar the Gold Standard — And Nobody Voted On Kwabena Ofori Osei 17 Views • 3 months ago

On August 15, 1971, President Richard Nixon interrupted Sunday night television to make an announcement that would quietly reshape the entire global financial system. Without a single vote in Congress, without consulting America's allies, and without any public debate, Nixon severed the last link between the U.S. dollar and gold — ending the Bretton Woods system that had governed international finance since World War II.
What followed was the birth of the fiat money era we still live in today. Inflation spiraled. Oil prices quadrupled. The petrodollar system emerged. And the rules of money changed forever — not through democratic process, but through a secret weekend meeting at Camp David attended by just fifteen men.
This is the story of how one decision, made behind closed doors, turned the dollar from a gold-backed promise into pure government decree — and why you're still paying the price for it more than fifty years later.

France 1945: CFA franc-The Currency It Created For Its African Colonies—And Still Controls Today
France 1945: CFA franc-The Currency It Created For Its African Colonies—And Still Controls Today Kwabena Ofori Osei 17 Views • 3 months ago

In 1945, France created a currency for its African colonies. 80 years later, 14 nations still use it. The CFA franc is printed in France, was historically backed by reserves held in the French Treasury, and is pegged to the euro at a rate set by European institutions — not by the African countries whose economies depend on it.

This is the story of how a post-war monetary decision became one of the most enduring instruments of economic control in modern history. From the assassination of leaders who dared to challenge it, to the wave of coups sweeping the Sahel today, the CFA franc sits at the center of Africa's unfinished battle for sovereignty.

In this documentary, we trace the origins of the Franc Zone, the mechanics of the operations account, the devastating 1994 devaluation that halved the purchasing power of 150 million people overnight, and the growing movement to finally break free from a system designed during colonialism and preserved long after independence.

If a nation doesn't control its own money, can it truly call itself free?
