Una película documental que muestra cómo Gran Bretaña se transformó de una potencia colonial en una potencia financiera global.

“La Tela del Ragno: il Secondo Impero Britannico”, è un film documentario che illustra come la Gran Bretagna si sia trasformata da potenza coloniale in potenza finanziaria globale. Con il declino dell’impero gli interessi finanziari della City di Londra crearono una rete di giurisdizioni segrete per attrarre ricchezze da ogni parte del mondo e nasconderle in una rete di isole offshore. Oggi oltre la metà della ricchezza offshore potrebbe trovarsi occultata in queste giurisdizioni, cosa che rende la Gran Bretagna uno tra i maggiori protagonisti della finanza mondiale. Come si è realizzato questo fenomeno e qual è il suo impatto nel mondo di oggi? La risposta a queste domande hanno dato vita a “la Tela del Ragno”.

"I Prìncipi dello Yen" è un film sul potere delle banche centrali. Il documentario illustra la trasformazione della società giapponese al fine di conformarla agli interessi di potenti gruppi di potere e come i cittadini siano stati tenuti all'oscuro di tali operazioni. Il film si basa sul libro del Professor Richard Werner che è stato ricercatore ospite presso la Banca del Giappone durante gli anni '90, periodo in cui il mercato azionario crollò dell'80% e i prezzi degli immobili dell'84%, e documenta come la Banca del Giappone inflazionò l'economia giapponese e come ne provocò il crollo con l'intento di forzare cambiamenti strutturali. Quello che successe 25 anni fa in Giappone si sta verificando oggi in Europa con lo scopo di centralizzare il potere nell'eurozona. Il film dimostra l'importanza di rendere le banche centrali perseguibili e trasparenti. Spiega anche come certe organizzazioni finanziarie internazionali, quali il Fondo Monetario Internazionale, si adoperino per imporre ad altre nazioni le condizioni favorevoli ai paesi occidentali dominanti. "I Prìncipi dello Yen" mette chiaramente a nudo gli strumenti di controllo utilizzati dall'ideologia dominante del XXI secolo. La realtà viene scomposta negli elementi costituenti che rivelano il mondo così com'è e non come coloro che detengono il potere vorrebbero farci credere che sia. " solo il potere occulto è un potere duraturo" Traduzione dall'inglese di Mario Palla

French, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Romanian and Slovenian hardcoded subtitles for the documentary 97%Owned: A film about the power of money.

“Los Príncipes del Yen” revela cómo la sociedad japonesa fue transformada para ajustarse al objetivo y deseo de poderosos grupos de presión y cómo mantuvieron a los ciudadanos completamente en la oscuridad. Basado en un libro del Profesor Richard Werner, un investigador invitado al Banco de Japón durante el colapso de los años 90, mientras que la bolsa caía un 80% y los precios de la vivienda hasta 84%. El filme revela la causa real de este extraordinario periodo en la reciente historia japonesa. Haciendo uso extensivo de imágenes de archivo y apariciones de Richard Werner en televisión en esos años, el espectador es llevado a un nuevo entendimiento sobre qué mueve al mundo y descubre que lo que pasó en Japón hace casi 25 años, se está repitiendo de nuevo en Europa. Hay que ver este documental para entender cómo, por qué y por quién. “Los Príncipes del Yen” es un reto sin precedentes al sistema ideológico dominante de hoy y las palancas que lo apuntalan. Pedazo a pedazo, la realidad es desmantelada para revelar el mundo como es, no como aquellos en el poder quieren que creamos.

Central Bank Money Creation Explained

November 4, 2014

The power of central banks. What you are not being told.

Due for release November 5th. Follow the progress at www.princesoftheyen.com In 2003 renowned economist Prof.Richard Werner released a book titled “Princes of the Yen”. Ahead of it's time the book became a number one bestseller in Japan, yet, over ten years after it was first released, the English version, is still in its first edition. This documentary, based on the book, is told within the context of the history of 20th Century Japan. It meticulously explains the puzzle of central banks and the social, political and economic impacts their actions have. It provides the viewer with a new understanding of economics and shows how events that may appear disjointed in popular discourse are in reality intimately intertwined. In the conclusion the European context is brought into perspective and the viewer discovers how the Bank of Japan's actions in the 90s are remarkably similar to the ECB's of the present day. “Blows open the widely held consensus that ‘independent’ central banks are a force for economic good." Josh Ryan-Collins - New Economics Foundation and co-author of “Where Does Money Come From?" "Essential viewing if you've any interest at all in economics or politics" - Steve Morrissey Film Reviwer & Critic, http://www.moviesteve.com/ "A fascinating look at the need for better public understanding of just how much money can affect the world we live in.” Ben Dyson - Founder Positive Money & co-author of ‘Modernising Money’
