Louis Theroux: Survivalists
In Idaho, Louis meets military enthusiasts and right-wing patriots who are preparing for a global catastrophe, including trips to survivalists' store Safetrek and a mountain refuge for conspiracy theorists called Almost Heaven.
Louis also visits the Aryan Nation Church and helps to build a straw-bale home. The episode focuses on the survivalism movement and communities formed around it.
The fact that several self-proclaimed survivalists were also hippies and environmentalists is a recurring theme.
Louis spends time with groups of (mostly) politically extreme people in the North West of America. The focus is on families and groups (or a horrific neo-nazi church in one part) which believe in and prepare for a 'New World Order' - a very interesting and funny documentary.
PINHEADS. No, not quite right. PINSOULS. Yep, thats´s it.

So in love with Louis!
He gets away with everything by being child-like - curious and honest.
The most brilliant of investigative journalists really. Half the people he interacts with don't realise how clever he is, or aren't sure if he's serious. He conveys everything unsaid with a quick cheeky look to camera or fleeting dumbfounded expression on his face.
@ Smugg actually, I think it's his very British tongue-in-cheek which is so subtly disguised as to leave most of sthe recipients entirely unsure of his real opinions.
This works a treat on Americans every time. Not so easy to get away with that style in England, we'd be on to him in a shot! (not because we're smarter, just we grew up with that sugared sarcasm he does so sweetly).
that's not Theruox making look people stupid, it's a british thing, they do it with anybody all the time, they call it conversation.
a couple o'things...Louis made this in '97
prophesy? NWO? Who'd believe that?
I can empathise with that guy Mike
As i undrstand it (i'm not in US),the contribution via taxes was(and is)a voluntary action. An opting in? and apparently there has been nothing enacted that reverses that fundemental choice?
If nothing else, the docs on here serve to make make me happy to be where i am, though no less concerned, and stressd, not so much about what i know, but what i don;t know
How can this dude claim that environmentalists don't worship Mother Earth? I am a NWO-despising, constitution-loving, carless (who needs a license, insurance, etc., if you don't own a planet-eating car?)dirt-worshiping tree hugger who doesn't pay taxes, and I worship Mother Earth -- which is why I have made it my number one mission in life to preach the truth that the NUMBER ONE agenda item for our species is to reduce the population of this planet by 90 to 95 percent... you know, to the population we maintained for the first 200,000 years of our existence as humans, when we lived lives of abundance and plenty, in balance and harmony with our fellow Earthlings and our Mother here in Heaven on Earth (not ALMOST Heaven -- Heaven!). While I believe the despicable, evil (and very REAL) New World Order should be the first ones to "go poof," for all their faults, the view that we need to reduce this planet's population is one that I (and a growing number of deep ecologists who have NOTHING to do with the NWO) share. Long live the Georgia Guidestones -- they should be the guiding principles for our generation or there will be no next generation to guide.
Bo Gritz and his map of disaster in the U.S. figures Idaho is the safest place in the U.S. but he forgot about Yellowstone the largest volcano in the world.
Lets hope it doesnt decide to go off. Cause it wont matter where your at in the entire world. Your finished.
Epicrus argument on happiness was to live a life where you were not dependant on others (i.e. government) for finincial security, where you provided for yourself and your family/friends, and lived you life with self-analysis of your thoughts and beliefs.
The 'radical nut' hippie, Mike, had the right idea on what constitutes happiness in this life. And in exchange, he just made a pledge to defend his community if it was attacked, which seems sensible. 'Almost Heaven' folks have the right idea.
they´ve done it in other countries...that´s true...
@ Pat there are US Citizen who have WON in court against the IRS and do not owe them a thing!
@ Pat
The 16th Amendment states, "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
A little explanation is in order. The main part of the amendment is, "without apportionment among the several States." This means, Congress can collect taxes, but ONLY if it's divided among the States equally. Income tax currently is NOT apportioned amongst the States at all, let alone equally.
Furthermore, the word "income" as defined by the United States as GAINS (profit) which can only be attributed to a business and not an individual trading for services and labor.
Additionally, the Federal Income Tax Code clearly states that it is "voluntary compliance" to pay the Federal Income Tax, yet when asked about this phrase, the IRS states while it is voluntary, they have the right to arrest you for not paying.
Sounds a little totalitarian to me.
Nancy, the 16th amendment specifically grants Congress the right to lay and collect taxes from American citizens. This properly enacted amendment overturned the ruling that you had noted, which had only concerned the WAY in which Congress could tax, not whether it was allowed to. Sorry, but you are still legally obliged to pay your taxes, and unless the NWO consisted of 42 out of the 48 then-existing states' legislative bodies, you might be a bit paranoid.
It is a life style choice.
Respect. (as Ali g would say)
Everything in this documentary was taught to me as a child. Not to the extreme of not paying taxes, no driver license or no car insurance, but the government taking over our lives(more than they do now)"the mark" being put on us etc. etc. I, fear, that the time of this is all coming to a close. You may not agree with me, but there is NO law on the books that state WE have to pay taxes (our 1040 form)! Many court cases have been won over the issue with paying taxes. In 1913 the Supreme Court ruled it was illegal to make US citizens pay taxes, and that ruling has never ever been overturned! THE NEW WORLD ORDER fightens me! IT SHOULD FRIGHTEN YOU ALSO! GOD BLESS!
ok now i know everything in life is still a mystery and these guys are just trying to be 2 steps ahead but what i wonder is what are these people going to think and do if none of this turns out to be true because only time will tell but iv got a feeling that they will be more disappointed for being wrong than being happy at the fact that they were wrong its just human nature
Aside from the Aryan Nation guys, all the survivalist people in this film generally seemed like kind, well-meaning people. I can sympathize with their general motivations... vigilance against incremental, less-than-obvious encroachments on the human rights and liberties enumerated in the Bill of Rights. The willingness to defend those rights. A general suspicion of the concentration of government power. Responsible firearm ownership. Wariness of the threats to national sovereignty (and thus the integrity of the Constitution and the sovereignty of the People) present in many of the institutions of globalism. Etc.
However, I do not agree with their view of a cabal of puppet masters and a single NWO agenda that is plotting to kill or enslave their families, etc. Their hearts are more or less in the right place, but they've been listening to their own rhetoric for too long and they've let their fears and suspicions get the better of them. They spend every last hour and dime accumulating military surplus trinkets and fortifying their homes for an absolute worst-case scenario that is a long shot at best. Even if their worst fears do come to pass, you cannot prepare for every possible eventuality. In the meantime, they're living in fear and cowering in their backwoods "refuges" waiting for Armageddon and life is passing them by :(
