| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and thank you for tuning into this special report. |
| 0:05.0 | The Great Recession began in 2007. |
| 0:10.0 | It didn't take long for the money managers to recognize its severity, |
| 0:14.4 | and that a little tinkering with interest rates would not suffice in dealing with the economic downturn. |
| 0:21.9 | In December 2008, the first of four quantitative easing programs began, which did not |
| 0:28.0 | end until December 18th, 2013. Some very serious consequences of this policy of unprecedented credit creation |
| 0:37.0 | have set the stage for a major monetary reform of the Fiat Dollar System. The dollar status as the reserve currency of the |

| 1:44.0 | The financial system has been left with a bubble mania, financed by artificial credit and unsustainable |
| 1:50.6 | debt. The national debt in 2007 was $8.9 trillion. Today it's $20.5 trillion dollars. |
