Yeah, so I thought this was interesting. Not sure if it's old news or not.

The first part is amazing, I would like to hear a critique of the first part from someone who knows about all these different historical myths, just to make sure that this is factual. But even if only a third of it is true then humankind has had great injustice perpetrated against it, powerful stuff.

The second and third parts should be separated from the first part as I have a hard time accepting their premise about the towers and the government, but who knows.

Even if I accept it, I don't know what good it will do as these people seem to be very skilled at manipulating the majority of the publics opinions and feelings. If the last two parts are true, it would take a massive conspiracy which I find very difficult to believe that our government in all it's ineptness could possibly pull off without leaving behind a very obvious smoking gun, but they do make a very interesting case, although I think a lot of sound bites maybe taken out of context.

If they are capable of pulling off these scenarios then we are all pretty much screwed anyway, as the only way most people are going to accept it is if the (higher-up)people involved admit that they did it and I can't see that happening.

Well, I am sure that somewhere on somebody's screen this post just popped-up and it will be added to the rest of the risk assessment in my folder So I better just shut-up now

Here is the updated movie;

The first part of this was very interesting.

But I think they made up (or at least twisted) most of their facts (i.e. they are just lying). However, I like this "Age of Aquarius" thing. Maybe the next big philosophical revolution is agnosticism, and by the year 2100 it will take over both Christianity and Islam? Here's hoping.

I had heard about the gyroscopic wobble of the earth, and also that it was very slow, but I didn't know that astrology has names for positions of the wobble (maybe they actually don't and that was another lie, but I am giving them the benefit of the doubt on this one).

The rest of the video was total BS. I hate conspiracy theorists. They are as bad as creation scientists. The only difference between a conspiracy theorist and creation scientists is that the creationist crowd believes all evil in the world is caused by Satan, whereas the conspiracy crowd believes all evil in the world is caused by a secret world government.

Did you know that this secret world government succeeded in corrupting America's economy, and as a result the U.S. dollar is now totally worthless? Now they own all the banks and cause inflation through a shoddy economic model that is bound to always make everyone poor simply for the sake of controlling everyone.

Also, the government caused 9/11 so they could start a war and make more money from military contracts -- even though they control all the banks and money is worthless... And this evil government also created the IRS so they could unlawfully collect tax money from citizens -- even though they controll all the banks and the money is worthless... But don't worry, they explain exactly what steps we can take to end this totalitarian reign of evil secret governments. Oh, wait, actually they didn't say anything about that.

Whatever.
