It´s Our Money with Ellen Brown

World Water Wars - 03.25.15

Dangerous stressors are converging around the growing demands for water the world over. Corporations and private capital are positioning themselves to take control as environmental changes turn humanity’s most essential element into just another commodity for profiteers. Why aren’t affordable alternatives being pursued? Might this even be intentional? The usual culprits behind the monetary curtain are all here ready to let you drink, if you pay them. Ellen speaks with Roger Landry on possible reasons.

 

A Different World - 03.11.15

That’s how Paul Craig Roberts, our guest once again this week, describes how the financial powers of Wall Street have so dramatically changed the world he knew when working with Ronald Reagan back in the 1980’s  An outspoken critic and observer of government, history and American institutions, Roberts provides bracing insights into what’s going on around us in a world of opaque power centers and political illusions.  He looks back on how Wall Street influence has rolled over the ability of government to serve public interests, consolidated industries like media and banking, and left us all susceptible to a grand plan to turn public assets into mere financial instruments for payment of bank debt. 

It's Our Money with Ellen Brown - The Whole Story - 02.25.15

Things are frequently not as they appear, there being a veil of secrecy and intrigue around matters of finance and state. Few people know better than this week's guest Dr. Paul Craig Roberts what is, and was, going on behind the headlines of global developments.  A former member of the Reagan Administration, editor of the Wall Street Journal and noted author, Ellen talks with him at length about what's happening with global finance and the shaking foundations of the EU.

It's Our Money - Oh, Canada! - 02.11.15

Our neighbors to the north may be on the verge of actually breaking a grip of Global Banksters on their economy. A recent court ruling upholds the litigation path for a lawsuit that intends to force the Bank of Canada to return to its original charge of providing debt-free money for public purposes. The suit also claims that the money elite at the IMF, BIS and FSB had intentions to take de facto control of the government by controlling its monetary policy. It’s such an important development that the government is squashing press coverage.  Ellen talks with one of the most knowledgeable observers about the case, while co-host Walt McRee revisits the evergreen truths of young Victoria Grant’s video-viral speech about the Bank of Canada.

It's Our Money with Ellen Brown - Changes - 01.28.15

When financial fundamentals such as unilateral currency fluctuations, reversal of system-wide banking policies, and entire nations withdrawing from monetary partnerships suddenly begin to change -- well, you’d better pay attention to what you think is nailed down around you. Ellen reports on what these changes mean and speaks with well-known commentator and media host Greg Hunter about the dynamics playing out in the global world of banking. And then there is personal change: can opening oneself up to powerful new personal roles affect public policy changes?  Co-host Walt McRee talks with RESULTS founder Sam Daley-Harris about his work motivating hundreds of thousands of individuals to realize their power in driving social change.

It's Our Money with Ellen Brown - Global Bankster Fallout & Irish Public Banks - 01.14.15

When economic towers collapse, effects are felt. In the case of the recent, sudden and significant drop in oil prices, pain may reverberate around the world as major financial institutions are put at significant risk of failure. And then there is the fallout from bank failures that become stratagems for global bankers to take new control of countries. Ellen examines these important developments and talks with Irish political leader Mark Dearey who is actively supporting creation of public banks to help recover from virtual extortion by global bankers. And co-host Walt McRee talks with economy-reformer Marc Armstrong about his new “Commonomics” initiative that aims to unify citizen activism to protect and support public assets.

 

Heads They Win, Tails We Lose - 12.31.14

The primary challenge to global citizens in this day of transnational corporate control of politics and banking is how to slow the inexorable steamrolling of public interest by profit-fixated privateers who control most of the world’s assets. Ellen talks with noted author and non-profit director Les Leopold about the lay of the economic horizon and the need for a populist uprising -- soon.  Co-host Walt McRee follows that theme in speaking with attorney Kevin Zeese about the critical TPP fight that lies ahead in early 2015 -- one that could make or break public protections around the world.

It's Our Money with Ellen Brown - Greasing a Collapse: Oil Prices and Our Crony Congress - 12.17.14

The recent drop in oil prices may make you feel good at the gas pump, but your dollars at the bank may soon slide right out of your hands to help pay off Global Bankster bets. Current conditions, circumstances and collusions suggest possible collapse in the not too distant future. Ellen speaks with author Michael Snyder, who blogs at “The Coming Economic Collapse,” about what the chances are, what the outcomes may be, and what you should consider in the days ahead.  On the Public Banking Report, co-host Walt McRee talks with Seattle City Councilman Nick Licata about that city’s recently completed forum on creating a pubic bank for that great city.

 

Better Listen to Your Mother! - 12.03.14

Forget about fooling Mother Nature, just ignoring her puts you at certain peril even when you’re talking about an economy. So says this week’s guest Jamie Brown Hansen, Ellen’s daughter, an international researcher who studies bio-mimicry to understand how economic sustainability can be derived and adapted from ancient systems of nature: if systems don’t conform to those laws, they ultimately die. Capitalism’s demand for constant growth comes to mind. Later, on the Public Banking Report, new courses are being launched by the Public Banking Institute to teach people about the tenets and systems emerging within the New Economy – ones that are harmonious with Mother Nature’s rules!

Irish Spring - 11.18.14

Perhaps one of the only bright spots in the Irish economy is the prospect
that they might recover some of their damaged monetary strength by creation
of new Irish public banks.  After the European Central Bank had its way with
stripping the country of its financial underpinnings through more
speculative misbehavior by the global big banks, Ireland, like Greece and
Cyrus, is on the ropes, doomed to debt slavery well into the future. Ellen
discusses her recent trip there and talks with some of the citizen leaders
who are moving the prospect forward, and she also reports on a surprisingly
positive review of North Dakota's public bank by none other than the Wall
Street Journal!
