Anyone else watch any of the episodes? Best thing I have watched in a long time.

I have watched them all, you are right,
totally fascinating.

Did you see where when John D. Rockefeller,
heavily in debt, went by train to visit
Vanderbilt and missed the train by moments
and the train went off a high bridge and
everyone was killed?

It is a just wow show for sure.

Yes I did that would of changed history forever. Without these entrepreneurs America would never have become a superpower.

Amazing how Edison and Tesla where working together in the same workshop.

Yes I watched that series. That is history told in a way it should have been told in school. It was very good. It gave me a better perspective on how America became the country it did.

I thought Edison was pure evil with his electric chair. He went around killing innocent animals trying to prove to people that alternating current was too dangerous. It made me sick.

Then he built an electric chair and botched the first electrocution of a man. Literally fried him. He was still trying to put Tesla out of business with his alternating current, but all people remembered what that Edison built that chair.

I found that train wreck. 49 died. It was called the Angola Horror.

I thought the death of J.P Morgan's father was a little 'too convenient."

And it was very good financially for his son.

Yes Tesla was the better man when it came to electricity.

The best part was how they never mentioned JP Morgan creating the Federal Reserve. Come on history channel.

The best episode was the one where they all got together and decided that they had to buy a president.

..and they have been doing it ever since.

They did mention how he got into the business of loaning money to the government and pulling them out of financial crisis.

Yes they have since 1896 and if we did not have a president like Teddy Rossevelt, America would of never had a middle class.

Then, because J.P. Morgan had loaned money to the government, when they went after Rockefeller's Standard Oil, they did not go after J.P. Morgan's monopoly.

But Breaking up the monopolies only made the rich and powerful more rich and powerful because they then just bought stock in all these new companies. They got wealthier. And that is when the stock market entered the picture under their control.

It was an eye opening series. I think everyone should watch it if they get the chance. Very interesting.

And there are still skeptics that don't believe that the Elite exist, or that they formed a club. LOL

They should watch that series.

Its the way the world is run. Its all about money and business.

What they need to realize is that in order to sell products, there needs to be a middle class who can afford to buy them.

If George Westinghouse just would of gone to court he might of won and had control of the electrical grids and JP Morgan would of never been the man he was. America would of been saved. We would of never had a central bank.

Possibly. But J.P. Morgan was a man who would not give up. He had his fingers in many pies. He would have still done something. Banking was his expertise.

He would have found a way.

Yes George Westinghouse gave in too easily. He should have gone to court.

Wasn't JP Morgan one of the judges on The Gong Show?
