Stefan recently interviewed G. Edward Griffin (August 20th 2013). Great interview and in doing a little more digging (mind you I had come across G. Edward Griffin before in documentaries & lectures) I found he did some great work back in the 1980's.
He is an author and lecturer, The most famous book he wrote and published in 1994 was "The Creature from Jekyll Island" about the Federal Reserve and how it was created.
You must watch this interview G Edward Griffin did with an EX KGB defector in 1983, "Yuri Bezmenov":

There was a another lecture with Yuri in 1983 called "Subversion":

This information was way a head of its time. Unfortunately they never had the internet 30 years ago. All of what is happening around us with the state controllers tightening their grip was outlined by Yuri 3 decades ago; Politics, Media, Economics, are all flowing a doctrine in state control methodology.
Save a little more of your time here is a Wiki page on Yuri:
