1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,012 The German federal government, led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, has set itself the goal of implementing major 2 00:00:07,012 --> 00:00:11,104 reforms in the areas of health care, pensions, and taxes. 3 00:00:11,104 --> 00:00:19,918 If you look at the plans for the upcoming healthcare reform, they seem more like a list of cuts and reductions. 4 00:00:19,918 --> 00:00:25,551 Premiums are rising more and more, and benefits are being cut further and further. 5 00:00:25,551 --> 00:00:32,766 For example, homeopathic treatment is no longer covered; an additional premium must be paid for spouses who 6 00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:37,020 were previously covered at no extra cost, and so on. 7 00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:42,299 However, this is not a genuine reform involving fundamental changes that would make 8 00:00:42,299 --> 00:00:45,620 our health care system fit for the future. 9 00:00:45,620 --> 00:00:51,490 Similar drastic measures are also expected with regard to pensions, most notably a 10 00:00:51,490 --> 00:00:54,673 significant increase in the retirement age. 11 00:00:54,673 --> 00:01:01,237 For people in physically demanding jobs—such as tradespeople—who cannot work until age 70 because their bodies 12 00:01:01,237 --> 00:01:07,305 can no longer handle it, this amounts to a de facto reduction in their pension benefits. 13 00:01:07,305 --> 00:01:12,958 Even now, more and more people who have worked hard their entire lives and paid into the 14 00:01:12,958 --> 00:01:16,448 system are struggling with poverty in old age. 15 00:01:16,448 --> 00:01:18,929 But why is there a shortage of money everywhere? 16 00:01:18,929 --> 00:01:23,408 What kind of reforms would truly make our country future-proof, rather than leading to 17 00:01:23,408 --> 00:01:25,960 the next round of cuts in just a few years? 18 00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:29,226 Of course, there are many reasons why people don't have enough money. 19 00:01:29,226 --> 00:01:37,120 Examples include the immense investments in military buildup, the vast sums spent during the COVID-19 crisis, the costs resulting 20 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:44,952 from massive migration to Germany, the energy transition, which is causing our energy and innovation costs to skyrocket, and the 21 00:01:44,952 --> 00:01:50,337 funding of supranational organizations such as the UN, the EU, the WHO, Gavi , etc. , to 22 00:01:50,337 --> 00:01:53,780 which Germany consistently contributes generously. 23 00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:59,264 All of this costs taxpayers many billions. 24 00:01:59,264 --> 00:02:08,260 However, there is also an issue whose scope exceeds all of the challenges mentioned above and which also contributes to them: 25 00:02:08,260 --> 00:02:14,464 This is our current tuition system, which, first and foremost, urgently needs to be reformed. 26 00:02:14,464 --> 00:02:19,546 Although Germany has record tax revenues of approximately 1 trillion euros, it is nevertheless sinking into 27 00:02:19,546 --> 00:02:22,865 debt, just like the vast majority of other countries. 28 00:02:22,865 --> 00:02:28,700 Germany's national debt stood at approximately 2.7 trillion euros at the end of 2025. 29 00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:33,408 Approximately 598 million euros in new debt is incurred every day. 30 00:02:33,408 --> 00:02:41,348 Interest on government debt alone now accounts for the third-largest budget item. It amounts to €50 billion annually. 31 00:02:41,348 --> 00:02:46,964 This means that for every euro the German government borrows, 23 cents go directly back to 32 00:02:46,964 --> 00:02:51,100 creditors without being used to fund any public services. 33 00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:56,504 But why does the government actually have to borrow money and pay it back with interest? 34 00:02:56,504 --> 00:02:59,145 Why doesn't he print it himself? 35 00:02:59,145 --> 00:03:05,560 Why do we put ourselves in a position of dependence on banks and large asset managers, such as BlackRock? 36 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:12,097 Why isn't any of the parties represented in the Bundestag calling for a reform of this system? 37 00:03:12,097 --> 00:03:15,802 Henry Ford said more than 100 years ago: 38 00:03:15,802 --> 00:03:22,360 "If people understood the monetary system, we'd have a revolution by tomorrow morning." 39 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,278 But what does Ford mean by this statement? 40 00:03:25,278 --> 00:03:33,754 What is the dark secret behind the monetary system that is almost never discussed in the media or in political circles? 41 00:03:33,754 --> 00:03:39,683 A film that explains this with wonderful clarity and simplicity is the story of Fabian the 42 00:03:39,683 --> 00:03:43,191 goldsmith, which we are rebroadcasting today. 43 00:03:43,191 --> 00:03:50,763 It is particularly relevant right now and reveals the underlying causes of the current financial crises as 44 00:03:50,763 --> 00:03:57,055 well as the wars that are currently being waged again or are being prepared with great effort.
