The BEST video series for understanding how we ended up in this mess.

http://sonsoflibertyacademy.com/ is a VERY long video series. I would estimate that it is 50 hours long.  It took me a month to get through it all.  A lot of the info I was already aware of, but still a great collection of information especially if you are just starting your quest for the truth.  Chris isn't the best narrator which can be frustrating at times, but it's now accessible for FREE so I'm not complaining.  Just sign up on the site and you can have this knowledge at no charge.  It took him almost a year to produce.  A MUST WATCH.
