have not seen movie yet-is it Alex Jones?.....been meaning to catch it, the one he did on Obama was not overlly well made though, a bit of a snoozer.....
I don't blindly accept everything anyone says, but I thought it was pretty entertaining. Has anyone ever seen the documentaries that Adam Curtis has produced for the BBC (The Century of the Self, Pandora's Box, The Trap, The Power of Nightmares)? I watched them on Google Video. Overall I think he shows how we let ourselves become enslaved to those who can satisfy our earthly passions -- those who keep us safe, comfortable and entertained. I think Chesterton called them Hudge and Gudge.
Some of Jones' movies are not bad, his main problem is he hypes and gets hyper much too often, can distort the message. Russo's movie as more entertaining and factual about the Fed...a shame he did not live to make other segments of this. John is right when it comes to the Obama movie..reiterate, a real snoozer....Jones can be anti-Catholic nad a little to pro-free market, but likely due to his Protestant upbringing....
Will check it out and remember Paul:
1Thess 5:21 But prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves.
Century of Self is excellant, have not seen the others mentioned, but they look good.Century of Self makes good points about advertising and manipulation....

Yes, Chris, it's Jones.
And NOT low Anon.
I must say I have a little problem with Alex Jones myself. Long on hype, short on facts.
Let's take a look and see what's hype and what's fact.

There are few weak points in Fall of the Republic but it is quite different than his usual approach and more straight to the point.
He makes the Congress look like a bunch of fools who can't even find the Bills they are voting on...hehe
Also the part about the Media "mind control" was good.
