David Icke believes a lot of strange stuff, completely unverifiable for the most part, but his description of the way the current banking crisis came about is clear and worth listening to if you don’t quite get how it all happened. He also makes a prediction about the third phase of the process, i.e., that the international financial system will be (deliberately, he says) crashed so that a global banking system can be implemented…

In reality, I’m not convinced that it needs a conspiracy theory to see that things are going that way. It is the natural order of capitalist economics and power-brokers in general to tend towards monopoly in all areas anyway. Banking is no different, I am sure – and politics certainly isn’t. And, such people being stupid, we can be sure that the proposed system won’t work either, and will probably lead, as David Icke claims, to some sort of financial dictatorship or at least fiasco, in the not too distant future.

Here’s the interview [about 40 minutes long - the first couple of minutes are not in English].
