Leaders from the worlds top 20 economies have gathered in Washington to discuss how best to tackle the global financial crisis. The emergency summit is already being compared to a key post-World War II ecomomic settlement known as Bretton Woods. The Bretton Woods accord led to the creation of both the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Al Jazeera's John Terret, reporting from Bretton Woods, New Hampshire in the US, asks if the G20 summit can live up to such high expectations.

On August 15, 1971, President Nixon announced on TV 3 dramatic changes in economic policy. He imposed a wage-price freeze. He ended the Bretton Woods international monetary system. And he imposed a temporary surcharge (tariff) on all imports. The Bretton Woods system was created towards the end of World War II and involved fixed exchange rates with the U.S. dollar as the key currency - but also a role for gold linked to the dollar at $35/ounce. The system began to falter in the 1960s because of an excess of dollars flowing out of the U.S. which foreign central banks had to absorb. A run on gold in 1968 was stemmed by a patch on Bretton Woods known as the two-tier gold system. All of this was ended unilaterally by the Nixon decision. After a brief attempt to create a modified fixed exchange rate system, the world moved to flexible rates.

There it is. The truth dug up for you. It was very hard releasing this video. I've tried to tell you things in messages. I saw that most of you are asleep. Living an illusion, a world of make believe. You follow poli-tics or some candidate. They will not help you. You sit and watch TV and upload tell-e-lie-vision programming videos. You're not awake. You're no different then the people you call sheeple. I'm really worried about you, especially you in the states. You're a victim of total mind control. The matrix has you in every way. I am really so sorry to release this video. There's more, like gold and silver manipulation. Why crude is going down. OPEC nations are about to be sent back to the desert. Please talk amount yourselves about this video. Pass it on and let's see more do their own research into these matters. We're all in this together.
