  • The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire | The Secret World of Finance
    Michael Oswald's film The Spider's Web reveals how at the demise of the empire, the City of London's financial interests created a web of secrecy jurisdictions that captured wealth from across the globe and hid it in a web of offshore islands. Today, up to half of global offshore wealth is hidden in British jurisdictions and Britain and its dependencies are the largest global players in The Secret World of Finance.

    *FUN FACT*
    In the City of London, on Bank St., you will find the Guildhall which is guarded by two giant statues of *Gog and Magog* , whom are called 'the protectors of the City of London'. They are also paraded annually at the Lord Mayor's show, a tradition going back atleast to the 16th century.
    British folklore depict Gog and Magog as the founders of Britain, a folklore also found in Ireland, Scotland and northern Germania.

      Important note! They are two statues of giants, Gog and Magog. They're inside the chapel and actually pretty small. But you're right, a lot of the old folklore is that the Isles were made by giants, and yes! they are also part of the city parade.

Now I understand, and I realise that there is absolutely nothing I can do to change things. So my mind is at rest - you only worry about those things you can influence and change.

    I was brought up and spent most of my life in/on Jersey, and it's eye-opening to see how many people who work in finance there know exactly that their jobs are allowing billionaires of questionable character to avoid paying tax, but when your salary and bonuses allow you to buy multiple houses (the prices of which are now at Central London levels) and flounce about in an £80,000 Range Rover Sport, suddenly their moral compasses disappear. And believe me, some of the most stupid people I have ever met have made a fortune working in Trust companies there. It's not difficult - you just have to be willing to abandon your conscience.

How about a National Election where no voters bothered to cast a vote ???

      Resources do not necessarily mean rich.
      19th century U.S. was a vast resource rich continent, but developing it for a burgeoning population took vast amounts of capital - roads, canals, ports, factories, railroads. So UK was the prime investor and had a superior balance for 110 years. It took WWI to change balance in U.S. direction.

    This is definitely the best documentary I have watched on TH-cam. I can see no reason why every TV broadcasting company in the world shouldn't license and broadcast it. Those that don't must be as inherently corrupt as the UK establishment. I am British but it's good to be reminded of what a corrupt regime I belong to! Every time a large company in the UK goes bust despite a clean bill of health in audit from the big four, it demonstrates how pervasive the accountancy firms have become within government. Congratulations to the main contributors in this film for their courage, persistence and acumen!

      The media is owned by the same establishment. Corporations own everything including our media and government. A handful of companies own most of the media and they are owned by the same oligarchs.
      They are doing everything in their power to distract the masses whilst the elites extract the wealth from our nations. They do not hold the powerful accountable, they just pretend to. Politicians work for the corporations not the people. The media is nothing more than a tool and now so is most of the Internet.
      We workers are nothing but slaves to the system that makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.
      When governments and corporations work hand in hand, that's fascism. We beat the Nazis, not fascism.
      This is late stage capitalism. The elites are taking as much wealth as they can from us, paying us slave wages, taking all the profits for themselves, throwing us into debt by not paying us enough. Soon we'll all be replaced with robots and left to starve, whilst the elites live on their private Islands.

      Just consider that one, almost saint, emperor we all admire, Marcus Aurelius, he did all that was required of him, and yet killing was part of it all, as it is now, a monk would not last there... and yet even Aurelius fucked up in naming his successor, an incapable ignorant son, so all of Marcus Aurelius' work and philosophy were for nothing since his successor, an spoilt brat, destroyed it all.He didn't follow his own advice in the MOST IMPORTANT thing he could have done to preserve his life's work.

      But yeah, the film is more than just amazing! It's a must watch for basically everyone.
      Every prime minister of the UK should be very silent when the topic tax evasion comes up.
      And the international community should all point their finger right to the UK, if they're actually serious. Which they're actually not.
      Because if you look up the Financial Secrecy Index, you'll find all the big economies!
      Their leaders are definitely aware of this system and don't have a sincere desire to stop it.
      The political class is not as dumb as they appear _(well, in todays Germany I'm not sure)!_ But they themselves benefit by this system. Knowing how many billions their states are losing every year.
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Secrecy_Index?wprov=sfla1
      Paragraph: _"British Empire-related tax havens"_
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_haven?wprov=sfla1
      All the informations are available and there are extended articles about the City, the Corporation, overseas territories, crown dependencies etc.
      But it's nice to have all these informations put together in a well made, exciting to watch documentary. Instead of reading one Wikipedia article after another. It's a little like a financial thriller.

TPTB doing these things come from both parties (all parties for our British cousins), so anyone putting it in a left/right context should have it explained (non-confrontationally) that both sides are doing it to all of us. Even the commies and capitalists teamed up in WWII. Not just armies, but individuals who were behind the lines. Divided, making each other the devil, is just how TPTB want us.

      The USA is not the American constitutional government but a private corporate central banking entity that has a strangle hold on the currency of the world's people through the debasement of language (terms that don't mean what we are trained to think they mean, etc...) AND control of all means of knowledge, the major media, education, Organized Religion, the world's people's minds, the stock market...CONTROL OF everything to the point that makes the statement true that goes like this..., "Nothing happens by accident in the Politics of Power". Everything is controlled by those who have stolen the largest pile of resources to begin with THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, and maintained through the power thus accrued through continuing criminal activity.

      @Paul R. Screvane. I'm in the same boat with you. I'm only now learning about Britain's empire history and the financial acrobatics, living as a Dutchy in Britain. There are still signs of shame, and speaking with a double tongue, inhibition too, present in the British population. I believe they're not over it yet, that Britain lost so much of its expansive power and wealth. After all, it's now in a poor state. There are those, in Britain, who truly believe that Britain will restore its former Empire, by voting Brexit. That's how irrational some are and at a loss for realism.

      I don't feel this way anymore about money. It was used to create emotional pain to feed off of peoples spirits. But it has also been used to share and provide for one another in fairness and reciprocity. I believe in the expansion of this model of using money. It's too easy to just go against something used as a tool by this toxic elite. They can use the opposition easily but if we go with it with our own values intact and strengthened by steady practice, we can transform the entire modality.

I'm at university and a lot expect me to work a top corporate job but i'm gagging at the thought as of now.
