That is not a proof, nor is it a preponderance. Saying that I have researched this and Jesus is alive, don't make it so.

First I never said Jesus was alive, and second you did not post anything to the contrary in support of your baseless 'opinion'.

Generally, I'm more inclined to read an article or text, rather than watch a video.

If the government was against the cause of civil rights which MLK was advocating, then they would have been against it from the very start, long before MLK became well-known.


I prefer reading too, I can cover much more territory, however they show so many graphics I imagine they simply chose to make a clip instead.

Yes, thats where these discussions get a bit tricky.

Like everywhere else in life you have both good and bad commingled.

Unfortunately there are many people in government operating as plants and they understand the intricacies of the operations and manipulate situations according to their personal agendas not sanctioned by the people.

They work along side of those who are actually working for 'we the people in good faith'.

The problem arises that the perps create situations that force those same 'good' people into life threatening highly compromising situations where their only options are forced into;

1) be the good guy and report the bad guys

The consequences of course are:

a) publicly accept discreditation OR
b) lose your job OR
c) get very dead OR
d) your family gets very dead

because there is no place to go to report the internal problems that can assure yours and your families safety and no one knows how deep into any agency(ies) or group(s) it 'really' goes.

(Look at Snowden who reported the illegal activities of the NSA, now deemed a fugitive when he acted like a police officer on behalf of 'we the people') Damn do-gooders!

The other option is:

2) Go along, STFU, keep your job, accept whatever payoff offered if any, and let the private citizens try and sort everything out in a meaningful enough manner to actually make a difference.

(after all the evidence has been cleaned up and classified under national security)

The consequences of STFU of course are:

3) Continually growing cancer of illegal activities within the governing bodies,

a) Forgiving themselves and their pals when caught doing the illegal activities,
b) American citizenry is nothing more than collateral damage,
c) Your children have the opportunity to die in wars contrived for increased profits in the top tier,
d) other nations suffer illegal aggression
e) America has a destroyed economy,
f) new levels of inflation always reached
g) The perps get yet stronger and more entrenched
h) the enforced public debt creates a country of 'bond' slaves,
i) the bond slaves 'good people' are converted to thralls as a result of the perps illegal activities
j) the good people are forced to pay for their own demise through increased taxation
k) the power of the good people to prevent the illegal growth is reduced with more laws set up in favor of the perps.

Then the problem is further compounded when the good guy reports it, there is always another bad guy above them to sweep it right back under the table, putting them right back to 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d.

What a racket eh? Dont we wish we could all operate like that! Hell any one of us could rule the world!

The irony of course is that those intelligent enough to point the operation out for some strange reason are labelled tinfoil CT nutters. One would think that would go against the accusers personal interests but then I suppose only their hair dresser knows for sure.

You don't need a conspiracy when simple greed and apathy can explain the situation.

It is in the best interest of many corporations to have the U.S. military involved in conflicts.

It is in the best interest of both major political machines to keep the population stirred up over race issues.

It is in the best interest of large government to keep the population focused on an external enemy and an external enemy defuses objections to increased government intrusion into private life.

No need for a conspiracy; just a chain of very amoral self interest.

The who, how & why of the JFK assassination. Taken from an historical perspective starting around world war 1 leading to present day. We hope after watching this video you will know more about what happened in the past and how the world is run today.


Everything Is A Rich Man's Trick


First of all most of you will not be interested in this for several reasons. I do not know how long it is but it is quite complete in its coverage therefore its a long documentary which is not well suited for todays add society. Next there have been so many shitty jfk theories that most people (including myself) are tired of them, however I skipped to the middle first and by luck it hit on a few magic words that just happened to agree with my theory (at least basically) where the fatal shot came from. (Yes I actually I went to dallas to look it all over). I then went to the beginning choked through the antique term Illuminati used in the first 10 minutes to describe the filthy rich back in the late 1800's early 1900's. a word I cant stomach since it has been so incredibly abused, and once past the initial 10 minutes (where it was used) I found this to be one of the most informative documentaries ever produced that covers the history and connections from 1900 forward, along with what took place behind the scenes, who is who and the roles they played and the long list of events that takes us to today and (I expect not intended), in the process proves how well hidden from view our lives are totally manipulated. Yes manipulated, not governed manipulated. The next issue I could take but wont since I have done my own extensive research on the matter is that they do not list the sources (at least not here) thankfully as it is very long to begin with.

That said, for anyone who can get past the negatives its a very good documentary, not only the assassination and exposing the complexity of these types of operations and the perps involved it also exposes how governments really operate, in particular the US Government and the real agenda behind the creation of the never ending growing list of alphabet agencies that unlike superman who comes to our rescue in the nick of time, they are always a day late and a dollar short. Theres the book, and then theres reality.

Below a few comments from the person who posted it and a few users viewers:

one thing's for sure, the rich get rich while the poor blame the poor.

The biggest point made seems to have gone completely past many people. We have got to stop arguing over what - with absolutely no disrespect for the life of anyone - amounts to details - and start agreeing on the fact that we have a common opposer. Those who would keep us under their rule - the fact that they'll do it at any cost is sickening. But the very fact itself is what should be drawing us together.

What in the world is it going to take for people to stop bickering and, instead, get on with the business of ridding ourselves of the power that is held by a relatively miniscule number of people?

Stop and think about how much power there is in the numbers of those of us under the proverbial thumb and how quickly we could actually begin living the kinds of lives most people don't even bother dreaming about anymore.

It's within the realm of possibilities - unless you decide it isn't. It really is that simple.

Considering that as Republican, I was STILL offended at the fact that Gore won and wasn't the Prez and that my vote meant diddly....(ergo, I haven't voted since)....

When it comes to movies, TV, and popular culture in general, one common theme that never really set well with me was the idea that the masses and the common people are helpless, inept, stupid, and just far too powerless to bring about any change in their society - unless they are led by some "blessed" and/or "chosen" individual to lead them - whether it's "The One" in The Matrix or a Jedi Knight or Chuck Norris or the "fastest gun west of the Pecos." Even The Matrix trilogy suggests that any kind of change would be impossible without the help of someone at the very top level of power, such as The Oracle. But that makes the role of "The One" somewhat meaningless, since if he was killed, all she'd have to do is program up another "One."




Yes our scifi movies are used for and reflect everything that people get shot for if they dare speak of it listing real names dates and places of real people living today, in public. Even the name of their ship: Nebuchadnezzar suggests a deeper meaning than just 'a ship'.

There is a lot put into some of these movies that whisk by people completely oblivious to what is really being depicted, presented in a fictional setting, though much of it refers to things that are very real if one cares to look just beneath the surface, hence 'sci-fi'.

The sad fact is that people are 99% impotent to inspire real change. That is change that will actually root out and clean up 'mob rule'. Most people so so ignorant to the contrivances and mechanisms they do not recognise how they are being led by the nose throughout their whole lives to promote their own demise, or at least that of their children. The reason this is so easy for our puppet masters and impossible for the people is that the puppet masters only need simply rewrite the rule book, ducking under another rock until they are rooted out and the process repeats. By the time we the good people sort it all out in the courts while they destroy evidence, cover up whatever cant be labelled and filed under national security, another 100 years ticks by, hence the shadow in the final edition of the trilogy. Out of site out of mind while the average people are dealing with simply trying to feed their babies, make a comfortable lives for themselves, while saving enough so they can take a break at 70.

And don't you find that interesting, in and of itself? All these people working individually, without any solidarity, yet mostly duplicating each other's efforts and making each other redundant, spending their entire lifetime and devoting all that time and energy to try to "prove" something that can't be proven? Sad thing is, even if they could prove any of these conspiracy theories, it wouldn't make a hill of beans of difference to those living in Peoria and Podunk.




Well thats not the case. They even control the rhetoric. For instance, the use of the words 'conspiracy theory' as a pejorative was launched by the CIA as an attack on anyone who did not go along with the 'governments official version'.

The reality is that the greater majority of what these elites are doing is not easily adjudicable much less a conspiracy because they dream up operations that are outside the 'letter' of the law under the protection of their attorneys and other mobsters within the organization which are nearly impossible to prove without deep inside info. It takes years for the information to leak to the general public if it ever does at all and rest assured it wont until all the perps are dead.

Case in point the NSA, the prez's attorney simply said yeh spying on everyone is legal, he wrote orders for the NSA to spy on everyone and filed them with his attorney who filed them in his PRIVATE [the attorneys] safe. Meanwhile those who take orders from the prez are obligated to follow those orders were assured it was legal and did so.

Of course now we know it was all illegal, the perps are out of office and who do we sue?

When you have a large organization like government, effectively infiltrated, 'coincidence' and 'incompetence' become the norm.

Euphemisms for 'situational manipulation', 'negligence', and ultimately 'treason' against the 'intent' of the entire purpose for their creation [as understood 'by the people'] in the first place. Constant smoke mirrors and bait and switch then propaganda tactics to cover it all up used against its own citizens.

So yeh its a crime, but not under that label, not in law, you wont find remedy in any court of law but must be taken into either equity or trust venues 'first' but what common joe plumber has the means to even effectively and correctly even state the claim much less strike back, and the people who we chose to do it in government (mostly attorneys) are either terrified for their lives or on the payroll?

Lets take it to the local level. Why would any attorney want to straighten out the disaster we have in muni law when there is so fucking much money to be made with 'presumption' is **always** in favor of the government? Many perfectly valid cases simply get washed down the drain because they cant meet the threshold to defeat summary judgment which effectively removes your right to a jury trial for what you bring into court. Justice in america?

The whole system is nothing more than a mob racket.

I don't want to sound defeatist or overly cynical here, since history also shows some human progress and enlightened, righteous dissent against tyranny. Even if one could prove that there's some political gambit for total world domination in play, it wouldn't be the first time some megalomaniac or powerful group has tried to do something like that. Ultimately, they end up failing, since there has never really been that much solidarity among the mob. No empire is ever permanent.



On that I disagree. People have always been enlightened. There are people who know and have always known. The problem is that while we have guns we can stick them right up our asses since the operation of the country is accomplished in the courts and even if people wanted to get an army together there would always be opposition propaganda to cause indecision of the infirm. These are common war tactics to diffuse the enemy. Joe plumber is clueless and most assuredly in taking up arms will wind up shooting the wrong person, the patsies while the root thrives.

So that said, I wont argue that a specific 'empire' permanent, but I will argue that those who are behind directing the empire are in fact permanent. They have been forced to share through the requirements of explansion to retain their power, but when the noise is filtered out it always goes back to the same puppet masters.

The problem is not that people can not and have not proven that these conspiracy 'theories' are in fact genuine 'conspiracies', its that when they are proven there is simply no place to go with them to adjudicate a remedy. Kennedy, tonkin, gladio, northwoods, big city, mku, 911, they are all well documented and proven with no court to adjudicate the complaints.

And that's the trap that we fall into. That's the real danger here, not any actual "conspiracy." Even if there is some sort of "grand conspiracy" at work, it doesn't actually mean that the "conspirators" really know what they're doing. To illustrate what I mean, if I was to assume that there was some elite "cabal" of powerful individuals secretly directing the actions of the US government, then I would still have cause to wonder whether these particular powerful individuals are truly smart enough to know the ramifications of what they're doing. I would wonder the same thing about those in power in pre-revolutionary France or Russia or the government of Germany before Hitler's rise to power. Just like Marie Antoinette, a lot of people in power have oftentimes been incredibly clueless and oblivious to the consequences of what they're doing.



I'd go along with that until you get to the conspirators knowing what they are doing. They know damn well what they are doing and as I pointed out in an earlier post these operations depend on hundreds if not thousands of people 'simply doing their job' while those who understand the precise breakdown points control those points under the guise of plausible deniability. People generally do not understand the intricacies of intelligence work. Example, I told this college kid, do you know the fbi can turn on your cell phone without your knowledge and listen to whatever is going on? The response was, "well I dont have anything to hide, so why do I care". Is it no surprise that Churchhill said what he did about democracy?

I could say clueless and oblivious about the public at large.

Keep in mind, that america and the uk put hitler in power. The documentary lays all the groundwork for that too as he runs through years leading up to kennedy and today.

It would seem that the ability to manipulate others is a useful skill in politics, yet it still fascinates me in this day and age that people are still as easily manipulable as an ignorant mob of witch-burners from the 10th century.

Unlike the old days when most of the populace was ignorant and illiterate, most people in this country go to school, learn to read and write, and even manage to graduate with some level of skill and understanding about the world we live in. Many of our citizens even manage to make it into college and graduate - far more than we've ever seen in previous eras.

Much of the problem has to do with the embrace of too many "sacred cows" and society's misplaced faith in them. The politicians and other malignant types you refer to did not create these sacred cows, but they know about them and are able to use them to manipulate public opinion. In addition to "sacred cows," the politicians can also manipulate the public's fear of "evil demons."

Again, these are all tools of politics, which is very dirty, pulls no punches, and can get extremely vicious. Of course, one of the more prominent "sacred cows" in the eyes of the masses is that "our" politicians are more virtuous and hold the moral high ground over "their" politicians. "Our government would never do such a thing" or "Things like this don't happen in America" are the usual responses one might hear from those operating "in good faith."

Whenever I see discussions about any kinds of conspiracy theories, they strike me more as a kind of "crisis of faith."

(Look at Snowden who reported the illegal activities of the NSA, now deemed a fugitive when he acted like a police officer on behalf of 'we the people') Damn do-gooders!


I'm not sure what to make of Snowden. But it wasn't as if he came up with anything new. The Puzzle Palace and other books, articles, etc. about the NSA have been around for decades. Snowden's story sounds similar to that of Christopher Boyce, as portrayed in The Falcon and the Snowman.

2) Go along, STFU, keep your job, accept whatever payoff offered if any, and let the private citizens try and sort everything out in a meaningful enough manner to actually make a difference.

"National security" is another chestnut which is pulled out whenever politically convenient. But there are apologists out there who might accept that the government has to do some nasty things in order to deal with a nasty world - even if it's not done according to Hoyle. So, those who STFU might be convinced that doing so is for the greater good or the lesser of two evils - even if it means an assassination or a military coup or some other unsavory activity that our government may get involved in.

quote:


The consequences of STFU of course are:

3) Continually growing cancer of illegal activities within the governing bodies,

a) Forgiving themselves and their pals when caught doing the illegal activities,
b) American citizenry is nothing more than collateral damage,
c) Your children have the opportunity to die in wars contrived for increased profits in the top tier,
d) other nations suffer illegal aggression
e) America has a destroyed economy,

What a racket eh? Dont we wish we could all operate like that! Hell any one of us could rule the world!


If it were possible, then it would have already been done by now. Oh, there have been many who have tried to rule the world, as history will attest. Some rather mighty empires have been created and lasted for centuries until they eventually fell by the wayside, only to be replaced by some other mighty empire.

Of course, considering the level of technology we've reached and the kinds of weapons which any number of countries are capable of producing, one might well wonder just how long the world can last when humans seem to think they can play the same old games. The kind of nuclear brinkmanship which took place during the Cold War was enough to give people pause. At least as far as actual raw "power" is concerned, the only real power to take over the world is also the power to destroy it. The rest is just paper and propaganda.

The irony of course is that those intelligent enough to point the operation out for some strange reason are labelled tinfoil CT nutters. One would think that would go against the accusers personal interests but then I suppose only their hair dresser knows for sure.


I don't think all JFK conspiracy theories are lumped in together. Sure, some might come out of left field and be more of the "tinfoil hat" variety, but there are still some reasonable doubts that people might have about it. I don't find anything wrong with a bit of theoretical speculation, as long as it's treated as such and not offered up as absolute, incontrovertible fact.

On the other hand, I'm not particularly offended if someone comes up with any kind of conspiracy theory against the government or corporate America. Even if someone is a "tinfoil CT nutter," they still have a right to have their say.

There may always be lingering questions about the JFK assassination, just as there are those who might still question the Lincoln assassination or even the untimely death of Zachary Taylor. We may not ever know the full, complete, and objective truth about these and many other events which passed into the dustbins of history.

I would agree with most of this, in a general sense rather than specific to the United States; although I would say that being focused on an external enemy has ramifications for the establishment - after every conflict people demand concessions.

Every time I consider this question I seem to arrive at the same conclusion - human beings just aren't that special and so they get the government they deserve.

I would say, though, that from where I'm standing there has been an orchestrated attempt to ensure Englishmen don't get any bright ideas such as revolution, not today because that battle has been long won but perhaps for a hundred years since 1850 - easily achieved through marketing, Consumerism and even the most basic propaganda.

It has been my belief that even if one is to concede virtually everything in these documentaries, the legitimacy of which being at least as equal to the unmitigated bullshit we get from govt., then....what next ? (in less than 3.5 hours I'll take The American Zeitgeist)

Given that such power exists and would presumably continue to have such influence, all we can do...is inform the youth of today. Nothing will be proven or unproven, nothing of any large world-effect will change, there will be no great revelations beyond the ridiculed and sustenance of the current belief systems and thus one could just as easily argue...nothing will ever change.

One is left with either emigrating to another less consequential country (the Swiss franc) and presumably with national healthcare, or one braves it out in a war/political/economic environment that can predictably support at least your family's next few generations.

In my opinion, there is a grand conspiracy, but not the one with which RealOne is consumed.

Apologies in advance, RealOne, in the event I'm not quite grasping what you're saying, but I believe the banks feature high on your list of possibilities. To me, it's a given. Were you to create debt among your adversaries then you control everything. This has gone on for a long time, and Wiidrow Wilson once said: "keep lending to the British and they'll soon be dancing to our tune". And, all is fair in love and war, so for those playing the game, us in this scenario then you will at some point be on the receiving end.

But, to me, this is merely obvious and hardly a conspiracy, and the banks aren't acting alone in this.

What I would call a more sleight-of-hand conspiracy is the dissemination of the belief that it is better to be stable than hold grand ideals.

The more interesting question is are they right. From what we've seen if human behaviour at this juncture, the evidence suggests they are right, and in order for human beings to prove otherwise they're going to have to improve.
