In the first half, author and journalist Jim Marrs talked about suppressed stories and conspiracies. He detailed secretive arms deals that the US and other countries conduct. Acting as a front company, the CIA buys up weapons from legitimate arms manufacturers like Smith & Wesson, and then goes through the State Dept. to license different countries to use the weapons in their armies, he explained. But after that, what happens to the arms becomes murky. "There have been documented instances for example, in Mexico, where soldiers defect from the Mexican army and then hand over all these automatic weapons, stinger missiles, RPGs (rocket-propelled grenades), and all kinds of things to the drug lords," he revealed.
In June, Pres. Obama announced that the US was arming the Syrian rebels, but according to Marrs' sources, that has been going on covertly for at least a couple years. He also pointed out that a number of senators, in favor of air strikes (such as in Syria), receive large donations from the "military-industrial banking complex." Mars spoke about the JFK assassination, noting that both J. Edgar Hoover and LBJ were involved in suppression, alteration, and fabrication of evidence. He also reviewed Planet X or Nibiru theories, noting that there is possible evidence for an unknown planet in our solar system, based on odd orbits of remote asteroids.

In the latter half, former commodities trader and self described "guerrilla economist," "V," argued that a group of 15-17 ultra wealthy families (whose worth is in the trillions) seek to manipulate global events to increase their power, and that of the banking system. Humanity has been in a struggle against these international "banksters" for a long time, he said, and these banking cartels have separated themselves from the population at large. They use covert mechanisms such as the private control of currency and its issuance to maintain their power, he continued.
US citizens don't realize that "a group of bankers and industrialists have taken over America...and that the Fed has usurped the government. That is why to this date, there is no audit of the Federal Reserve," and the private banks within their system are still unknown, he remarked. Yet, while the banking cartels have accelerated their plan to erode the US Constitution, V suggested that they've underestimated the ingenuity of the average American, and the spread of free information via the Internet and certain media outlets. Within the next year, he foresees the cartels trying to use a "slow bleed" to bring the US economy to collapse with "stagflation" – high unemployment, rising prices, and zero growth.
