If you don't submit to control, if you're a radical, you're less likely to be loved. You're not fitting in with society; you're viewed as an outsider. There are a lot of social prohibitions about the outsider and the person who's going to upset things. From the time we're very young, we're taught to worship authority, basically, because that's our key to survival as young children. But as adults, we never go through the rights of passage that tell us how to methodically think for ourself, and thus we're always in a state of extended adolescence.

We take all this stuff, whether it's the television or it's the inculturation, the school yards, the teachers... we take this whole system, we put it into our unconscious mind, and it is the GIGO that comes out... Garbage In, Garbage Out. We simply have harnessed our own power by accepting all these beliefs as though they are factual, whether it's the flat earth of Columbus or it's the idea that I'm not good enough to be or to do something I've dreamed to do.

To the degree that the individual loses the sense of what freedom really means for him, mind control is working. Everybody's born into this control structure, everybody's born into authority. Everyone's born into the situation, but just because you have an authority making decisions for you at some point when you're very young, too young to take care of yourself, doesn't mean you should always cater to authority your whole life. We have established a framework which for the most part works pretty good. People enter into this contract with society. That contract allows them to follow certain rules and expect certain returns on their investment of working within the framework of the contract.

Human beings form habits. At some point in our lives, many of us realize that the lives we are living are not those which we have imagined, but rather lives reflecting others' imaginations, as if we have been unwitting actors in someone else's script. Can be the minds of individuals harnessed by systems of psychological control?

Are the habits reflected by human beings in direct conflict with their needs to survive and thrive in this world? The enormous implications deter many of us from asking these simple questions and finding answers relevant to our daily lives. If we don't resist all of the different information that comes our way and weigh it and use our own mind instead of what somebody else wants us to think, eventually society would become nothing more than automatons, robots. The establishment has protected itself. Unless you submit to the saturation indoctrination and adopt all its values, you can't get in. You can get the DVD at Amazon.com.

  2. Seemed legit until it adopted the propaganda about the Third Reich. Unfortunate to have tainted what seems to be an otherwise authentic presentation of history with this bullshit.

  3. Human beings have always been and always will be conditionned by their environments. If you want to change the way they think and so the way they behave, change the environment. But it has to be done slowly, but surely, generation after generation. Why? The very principle, the very definition, the very idea of conditionning is that the conditionned person doesnt know he has been condionned. How? Conditionning, and so mind control, happens at a very early stage of life, an age when we are not even aware that we are aware, a very early stage of life when we take in all the information without questioning, thats how we later think that things are normal. And thats how mind control has been operating since long long time ago. In a few generations it will be normal to have a microchip in the brain and if you dont have one, the sheeple around you may kill you because for them you will be threath (not normal).
    "Whoever happened to create this particular space-time continuum, if not from the beginning, sooner or later, had something very much like mind-control in mind" - Jon Rappoport.

  5. I will say this: We are to draw the line at the mark of the beast being implemented. It will be clear what it is exactly, when it is implemented. Until then, it is possible for "real people" to live among the evil world. Although, the "real people" would be wise to fully devote themselves to working righteousness and band together in order to support others who so choose to be real people, becoming a "city set on a hill," which is the true revolution.

  6. A decent documentary. I can see how someone who's raised to go to school, get a job, buy the house, raise the family, buy the latest techno gadgets, have a great car and so forth would have a hard time digesting material like this. Granted, there are much better docs out there, but it's still difficult to inform people who simply do not want to be informed. As Mark Twain once said "It's easier to fool people than it is to convince them that they have been fooled". Conspiracy theories range from the very plausible to the absolutely wild and where each theory lands on the spectrum is subject to the interpretation of the uninformed.

  8. "You are not just committing suicide to yourself, but against all good humanity"... How in hell does that works? I mean, if he were to say "murder to all good humanity" it would have some sense -as a sentence-... But well, considering all the BS they talk on this thing it's no surprise...

  9. This documentary is very pernicious. It has a lot of very good insight into breaking free from cultural norms and thinking out side of the box- but it's great discussions on that are a Trojan horse, to lure the unsuspecting truth-seeker astray.

    Why? Because it frames the "control" vs "freedom" dichotomy as the same dichotomy as "state" vs "individual"

    This indoctrinates the unsuspecting viewer towards libertarian ideology, to espouse the narrow narrative of small government being equated with freedom.

    In truth, while governments can and do practice tyranny, and this should be acknowledged, it is true in the context of the western world today that the greatest tyranny is of private financial interests- globalized big banking and big corporations- the very things that proper pro-democracy legislation can curtail through safegaurds and regulations.

    This libertarian "truth seeker" narrative is extraordinarily pernicious by flipping the problem into the solution- by advocating less safegaurds against the ravages of unfettered markets, in which only the elite benefit.

    I may go so far as to say that this is actually a meta-conspiracy in which the elites have realized the inconvenience of the internet awakening people, and so planted Alex Jones as a psy op operative to neutralize and indoctrinate a false consciousness among anti elite sympathizers to have them believe ideologies that are actually pro-elite.

    Not to mention, any of the Abrahamic religions, including Christianity, are a bastion of unreason and major source of psychopathic behavior and irrationality in the world. This documentary, rather than espousing enlightenment values, espouses stone age ideologies like Christianity.

    OVERTHROW THE MONEYED INTERESTS, NOT GOVERNMENT, GOVERNMENT PROTECTS THE PEOPLE FROM THE ELITE MONEYED INTERESTS!

    WAKE UP SHEEPLE.

  11. I like Alex Jones. He's tenacious, passionate and is a bulldog for what he believes in. I don't agree with a lot of he has to stay, find him paranoid and hysterical, and he's obviously very poor at coming to conclusions rationally, But he has the atmosphere of the U.S. State today pegged and may be in fact a true prophet- you know, someone that does actually see the worst coming and it does come to pass. I also feel he has a genuine love for people and wants to protect them so that they may lead happy, healthy lives by exposing the militarization of the U.S. before it's too late.
    In my pantheon of contemporary heroes, Alex Jones definitely has a place. He might get it wrong far more often than he gets it right, he might turn off more people than he turns on, but his liveliness and stubborn demeanor gives him an energizing role amongst the cooler and more analytical whistle blowers of these very dangerous times.

  12. I don't know, maybe I'm being too hard on Alex. I feel that he's talking down to his audience. But if you consider that this could actually be brand new information to the average audience member, maybe he's just explaining it for them?!?
    I actually spoke to someone today who couldn't believe that there are such cold, disgusting, brain-damaged individuals in power who can set up 911, convince others that their version is the truth & not to question the official story, while they coldly watch the suffering of so many (still continuing) & collect on the FAT insurance policy - they actually questioned that these individuals really exist!
    If there are still audience members out there like that, maybe Alex has his place.
    He's just not for me, that's all.

  13. Ok, the fact that Alex Jones is in a substantial portion of this vid makes me suspicious full stop. When the masses FINALLY discover something & begin talking, in order to prevent too much awakening, the institution drags out Alex Jones, shoves a hand up his rear end & gets him to steer the talk away from trouble for the powers that be. That way, the asleeples feel that they're getting the right info & the things creeping around in the dark get to remain safely in power & anonymous.
    Alex has now been trained so well that he no longer needs a hand up his butt & can look suitably outraged all by his little self (I bet he dresses himself too now).
    Alex Jones may taste like real food-for-thinking to the general public (think cheeseburger), but I guarantee that if Alex REALLY revealed some good old-fashioned FACTS that his handlers DON'T want released, he'd be found dead in a ditch somewhere, or would just disappear from the planet altogether. Much like the USA would like to do to Julian Assange, no doubt...
    Oh, & is that a 'modified pentagram' @ 1:28:05?

  16. i tend to stop every clip or 'documentary' that has a religious connotation. Saves me exposure to a lot of bulls*it. So hearing the word Church at 01:47 saved me to watch 3hrs.
    Works 9 out of 10 no matter what the subject is.

  17. I found this 'documentary' on YouTube, and when I saw that Alex Jones was involved in it I had to laugh.

    It's fascinating & amusing that so many right-wing conservatives - by nature the most conventional and conformist social group of all - try to identify with nonconformist outsiders & radicals.

    I've done a number of TV interviews with far-right types, and have always been struck by their desire to see themselves as rebels, even as they slavishly adhere to rigid religious ideology and the laughably absurd nonsense on Fox, Limbaugh, Jones, Beck, etc.

    The idea that these guys are somehow independent-minded mavericks who think for themselves is pathetic, since they always do so comfortably surrounded by a support group of like-minded folks, friends family, church members, etc.

    Yet when separated from their group they are almost invariably threatened, defensive and unsure of themselves and their opinions.

  18. Is this a joke or what? The text is very intriguing, but when I tried to watch the documentary, ithe screen says, "This video does not exist."

    Hmm... Must be a sinister plot by Big Brother to undermine my sense of autonomy and force me to submit to authority..

  19. I'm glad to see that most of the people in this comment's section are able to recognize the deceptions and total BS. I saw this documentary had decent reviews so I watched a trailer. Then, when I saw some of the people being interviewed in it--I realized almost instantly that this film has no merit whatsoever. But, I was still curious so I arrived here to see what people are saying...I'll keep it short: I won't be watching this film. Thanks!

  20. My father has been wrongfully incarcerated for 4 months, in Yavapai county jail. Now, because he refuses to go along with their system, the courts hit him with rule 11 and have began to give him resperdol as of 10/26/13. The drug changes the chemicals in the brain. My father is very smart, and at one point he worked 3 jobs to support us. I feel so lost!

  21. this is ****. Many videoshots that must come from a atok video supplier. And then yadayada. Ok when you make documentaries so similar on many areas they grw together. They appear in eachothers documentary as an expert on the issue or to conclude information.

    And that is Propaganda.

    How can you make documentaries that has so very little hard fact to base its opinions which are great it size.

    But you can by every documentary or pay in support.

    But htis stimulates alot of people that find somehting inncluding in these documentaries. Bad against good.

    And that is why conspiracy can be drawn lines to the consept of a religion.

  22. Yes there is mind control by the corporate state.. but this film and most like it are absolutely tools of that movement. By scaring you away from a government of the people by the people you are made vulnerable to the cult of personality and to the lure of individualism..false individualism...

  23. Be Carefull when people say New World Order. Many use this term as a scare tactic to fearmonger you into resisting change, therefore continuing the status quo. This benefits the elites. The REAL NWO, advocates chage, but respect for rights

  24. Its all about balance between the individual and the community. Alex Jones does this doc a disfavor because he does not believe in any community. I would say the free market, mainly through marketing, by consumerism greatly distracts our humanity toward one another. Our psych is vulnerable to such marketing, so in reality, we hardly have free choice. (Watch the move The Wave. Its a German movie. Very good and shows what this doc is trying to convey)
