"I'm not an economist, I just pretend to be one on TV." - Bill Still

[aura]

I'm sure many are familiar with Bill Still, producer of "The Money Masters" and "The Secret Of Oz" fame. I noticed while reading through his old forum this admission for how he still manipulates his way onto TV as a featured guest on Russia Today (RT) and Press TV, etc. Its quite humorous for those which may follow him.

"Got an interesting email that is making me think. I just want to check myself with this crowd [his forum] to see what you all think as well. Remember, I'm not an economist, I just pretend to be one on TV." - Bill Still

Since this admission he now survives by his YouTube channel with 100,000+ subs claiming how he can help people with "Surviving Economic "or" [LOL] Financial Collapse/Crash" in other-words Bill Still, is still pretending.

For those unfamiliar with Bill Still, he has quite a long history of regurgitating other people's work and promoting myths which are still presented today as "truth." Take for example the below article.

The Enduring Rothschild Myth:
https://www.mises.ca/the-enduring-rothschild-myth/

The enduring Rothschild myth centers on the London Stock Exchange, the battle of Waterloo and Nathan Rothschild. The story is most famously told in the film 'The Money Masters', produced by Bill Still. In the movie Still tells us that Nathan had posted an observer by the name of Ruthworth at the battle of Waterloo. His mission was to ascertain the victor and relay this information back to Nathan before the general public could become aware.

The result of this battle would have had significant consequences on the value of British bonds ("consols") since a victorious Napoleon would present a credible threat to the British government. As it so happened, Napoleon was defeated and Mr. Ruthworth dutifully relayed this information to Nathan days before official informants could do the same.

Nathan then spreads the rumour that Napoleon was, in fact, victorious. The Rothschild's intelligence network was legendary and investors believed what they were hearing was genuine. This caused a panicked sell-off of British consols at the London Stock Exchange. Nathan used this opportunity to purchase huge amounts of these securities and when news of the genuine victor reached London, he profited immensely from the trade. With the vast amounts of wealth he now controlled Nathan was able to bring the British government and Bank of England under his influence.

A fantastic tale... and a complete myth.

As can be seen there is no evidence of a great crash in the price of consols in the days following the Battle on June 18, 1815.

This is a leading narrative many would have heard, although there was never a crash of the British stock market, neither was there ever a takeover of the Bank of England as-a result in 1815 by the Rothschild's.

Bill Still and G. Edward Griffin have been the main promoters of these myths, originally pieced together in Griffin's book "The Creature From Jekyll Island" (1994) then taken and re-written by Still in "On the Horns of the Beast: The Federal Reserve and the New World Order" (1995) which then became most known and told in "The Money Masters" (1996) a year later.
