  A gold bug, I am losing interest in this film already.
  
  Is a gold standard not what the British empire used to extract the wealth and resources of its colonies.
  
  Gold is not going to solve the problem of a profoundly corrupt system.
  
  Even if you could get a worldwide gold standard implemented (think about what that would take), the banksters, or financial elite or whatever you want to call them would just incorporate it into their pillaging.
  
  Gold is just a means of trade it has no inherent regulatory ability, and could not break up an entrenched government/financial/corporate system that controls most of the gold anyway.
  
  Ellen Brown is pretty clear on this, and would have been a much better addition to this film than a gold bug.
