The first Merriam-Webster definition of crazy: full of cracks or flaws; e.g. Dr. Paul's libertarian perspective on government is crazy.

So is anyone who would sit past 30 seconds of the contents of that link.
:why
The movie consists of three parts. If you can sit through the first 15 or 20 minutes, which has to do with the foundations of Christianity and its indisputable ties to various, cross-cultural mythologies; it turns out to be an excellent documentary. The first part (MYTH) sets up the rest of the picture. It demonstrates how the human race is controlled and persuaded using myriad of tactics: including fear mongering, religion, war, media manipulation, money systems, as well as bold faced lies. It does a great job at putting modern man's world into a perspective; and derives meaning from an OBJECTIVE point of view, as it utilizes factual analysis for bulk of subject matter. It really shouldn't be disregarded and/or ignored by those that are afraid or too lazy to give it a shot.
So, at the very best, this abridged summary of the film can set up a context, which might spark an interest (to all you naysayers) for future posts and debate; Rather than just call me "crazy" or on the "lunatic fringe" or some bullshit. Quite the contrary indeed...

El Nino is right guys. Once you get past the first 10 min (not to say they aren't an interesting 10 min) it's a great documentary. I recommend everyone watch this movie. Looks like we're all nothing more than livestock.Quote:

Ah well, if the point of the film is that the tiny class of ultra wealthy elites have always treated the working class as a cheap resource, that's nothing new. It's pretty much the history of the world. I've known it for 35 years and I think most people would agree, even if they don't feel they can do anything about it. The big money crowd have certainly done a good job at manipulating us, otherwise Reagan and Dubya would never have been elected. Well, 'elected' is the wrong word in Bush's case...
The people do occasionally get fed up and band together to fight back. The growth of the Labor movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century is an example. Reagan and Bush did a good job of stomping the gains we made then. Now people are angry again. I hope that Obama will be the beginning of a new era of populism that will change things for awhile. El Nino and co. would call that a pipe dream. They may be right, but I pray otherwise.
Amen
remember reagan skillfully used crack and aids to derail the 70's love train....9/11 and cheney in his mad ferver to get back at the love train for deposing of nixon has turned us back even further then ever...remember this is an oligarchy posing as a democracy.............markets........

For the believers, conspiracy theories are merely adolescent fantasies. It's fun to know things that other people don't. And it's comforting to have an excuse for being an outsider. For the cons who scam the believers, the theories are a source of income and attention. They sell books. They hold conventions (don't forget the registration fee). They get interviews. If they make the Big Time they can even become a religion. But hey, that's the free market of ideas right? No one's really hurt right?
BBBBAAAHHHAHAHAHA...until they bring out the Kool Aid.
Lol, anyone remember when drinking the Kool-Aid was a good thing? Of course I'm referring to Ken Kesey (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), his driver Neil Cassady ( the 'Dean Moriarty' character from 'On the Road' and other novels by Jack Kerouac) and the Merry Pranksters in their many-hued Day Glo bus named 'Furthur'. Ol' Hunter Thompson hung out with them while researching his first book 'Hell's Angels'. Tom Wolfe wrote a wonderful book about Kesey and the Pranksters called 'The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test'.
No, I never met Kesey except through his writing. I'm about 10 years too young. Otherwise I might have been 'on the bus'. I first read Wolfe's book in college, where I also read Thompson, Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. Btw, it was grape FLAVOR-AID that Jim Jones and co. drank.
As far as demonic agendas, the entire neocon agenda has been plenty demonic imo.
Pardon my history lesson gang. It's approaching 2am and a tattooed little Italian beauty coerced me into having too many shots of Jamesons with her at the local pub....
