Examination of the history, structure, and politics of the Federal Reserve in America; relationship to the IMF and world banks, catalyst for the Depression, recessions, current crisis bailouts, and contrived "panics" at will? How and why they "created" the national "debt;" replacement of gold and silver with paper; as well as Goldman Sachs' consummate relationships with the Fed, the US Treasury, Wall Streeters, and politicians. This show includes interviews with leading economists, bankers, and political advocates of the Federal Reserve, investment banking insiders, researchers, reporters, politicians (and other entertainers), conspiracy theorists, their debunkers, and academics. And we include an in-depth look at Ron Paul's END THE FED movement and the PUBLIC state-owned non-Fed Banks (like the profitable Bank of North Dakota) as a means for counter-balancing the US economy and its wealth.

Bait and Switch TV: Investigative Satire [STANION STUDIOS] Presents Part 1 of 8 segments in the controversial saga of the Federal Reserve Banking system. Firmly rooted at the center of the current financial crisis, the Federal Reserve holds the purse strings for the USA monetary system. So it is hardly conspiracy theory to wonder:

• WHY has this private and mega-powerful "federal" reserve system been so controversial since its inception?
• WHY was President Jackson so opposed to a cartel as our central bank?
• WHAT are the Fed's actual factual successes and failures over the last 100 years?
• HOW does US currency, and control of that currency, determine the balance of power in a nation, and the world?

Whether or not the US Federal Reserve is manned by good guys or bad guys, you'll have to agree that our examination proves that the guys running the Federal Reserve had/have BALLS to manipulate the US treasury AND US ECONOMY as they do, and then to argue for MORE power and oversight! Chutzpah is an understatement here! For example: Goldman Sachs dominates the political financial spectrum from inside the Federal Reserve/US Treasury as well as via its pervasive lobbying arms inside the US government, and calls it "doing God's work." We look at Goldman Sachs and its alumni overlords in the US government relative to TARP, Lehman Brothers, profiteering from the AIG bailout, and the upcoming "CREDIT TSUNAMI" to be caused by GS (and other investment banks) and their manipulative, destructive "leveraged buyouts" (LBOs) of many US corporations whose loans, like subprime mortgages, are about to come due, and like subprime mortgages, cannot be paid. These failing corporations employ millions upon millions of American people. Can you answer the question "What is the Federal Reserve?" Few truly can. We interviewed leading economists, authors, Wall Street bankers, politicians (and other entertainers) about one of the most critical controversies (and controversial institutions) of our time: The US Federal Reserve. And then, we took a shower.

Bait and Switch TV makes the financial collapse fun, and easy enough for a child to understand. But fun bedtime stories aside, we also propose real, obtainable, non-extreme alternatives to Federal Reserve Banking in this BSTV episode, including an in-depth look at the promising prospects of public, state-owned banks. Public banking can circumvent the federal reserve system without upsetting necessary capitalist apple carts, like the credit system, essential to a healthy and innovating economy.
