  1. What a great lecture. I feel like I have a much better grasp of concepts that I have been struggling with for years. I sure hope you will post more of Dr. Werner’s lectures!

    1. We are not planning on posting the second. I will discuss with the team. If you have not listened to his other interviews on Solari, strongly recommend you listen to all of them. You will get the content there. Much of this was a repeat of things he has covered with us – its great stuff and still as timely as ever.

  2. I get PeerTube error: Video not found.
    Is the video deleted?
    When trying download, I get;
    type “about:blank”
    title “Not Found”
    detail “Video not found”
    status 404
    error “Video not found”

      1. Many thanks. Very interesting, Mr.Werner’s knowledge is as wide as it is deep. I suppose it has to be if humanity is going to get out of the debt trap. I hope there are more of you out and about when the chance presents itself to any sensible respectfull livelihood restauration for all.

        I had to force myself to listen to this presentation because money does not interest me much. Never understood until now why one would want to be a banker.

  3. What a great lecture! Thank you for making this available. I learned a lot. Hopefully Part 2 can also be made available.

    It was probably outside of the scope of this lecture (as he dodged the question about it), but I am fascinated by the role of the temples as the first banks, “above” the monarchs. Farrell, of course, goes into all of this in Babylon’s Banksters, but the mention of Japan’s Shinto temples playing the same role caught my attention, as it shows this was not something that was only specific to the West.
