I can not clarify if this is true, it's too big.
Just start reading and digging and ask yourself if it is.

There is a certain degree of truth in the vids you mention. A recent book that is firmly backed up by research and supporting evidence is from the Guardian contributor, Naomi Klein. 'the shock doctrine' see a review here: http://www.sott.net/articles/show/143437-S...Shock-Doctrine-
"Disaster Capitalism-Microcosm and Macrocosm

Disaster capitalism is according to Klein "...orchestrated raids on the public sphere in the wake of catastrophic events, combined with the treatment of disasters as exciting market opportunities." (6) It has its origins in the "Chicago School" of economics made famous and perpetuated for decades by University of Chicago economics professor, Milton Friedman, who actually coined the phrase "shock treatment" to describe the psychological pummeling of societies and individuals who might stand in the way of or could be made more useful to the advancement of corporate goals. One recent example was the dramatic use of shock and awe, including using those very words to describe it, against the nation of Iraq during the invasion by the U.S. in 2003. A more recent example to which Klein devotes a great deal of attention is the devastation of New Orleans during and after Hurricane Katrina.

The endgame of disaster capitalism is the total privatization of what have throughout American history been state services. Not surprisingly, the ultimate outcome of unbridled disaster capitalism will be the supplanting of government by corporations."

A great article that sums up where the US going here: http://www.sott.net/articles/show/147855-C...a-as-we-know-it

"The U.S. government, once crafted as a system that would serve the interests of the people, has devolved into a system of plutocracy where corporations control both the government and the people."

Well, the JFK speech at the start of part III, which refers to a "monolithic and ruthless conspiricy" is misleading. It gives the impression that JFK is talking about the banking cartel when, if you read the speech in its entirety, its pretty obvious he's refering to the communist threat.

Speech

That's as far as I've got in examining its claims which have attracted a fair bit of criticism online, especially the first part. It has been suggested, not unreasonably, that it is in fact a COINTELPRO op.

Distract and divide.
