This is fun entertainment. Maybe some of the shows depict things accurately. I don't watch regularly, but it is not out of the realm of possibility that military experimentation and advances are perhaps ten years more advanced than the public is aware of - so it's not beyond the realm for me to believe some experimentation was going on at Plum Island.

My chief problem with this sort of propaganda is that it dulls the mind to what is really going on and also spoon feeds 'facts' to the public, training us into not keeping alert and informed as to what is really going on.

There were alerts in the news as regards to the demise of Glass-Stegall, which played a huge part in triggering our financial woes. There are a multitude of indicators to the effect that the influence of mega corporations, once raising the lifestyle of the average American, is now destroying it - and how about all the evidence that branches of our own government are profiting from the drug trade?

The world is sick enough to the inquiring mind without having to fictionalize emergencies.

To all those who are being nay sayers to this show, I just heard on the morning news that our government is considering a project to start jamming ALL cell phone use while you are in your car. Since people won't stop using their cell phones while behind the wheel, the government will do it for you.

I'm not saying Jesse's show is pure fact but I'm quite sure many things are true. Some people just don't want to even imagine what is really going on under our noses and behind closed doors.

Big Brother is here and "he's" getting bigger all the time.

I totally agree with you on this. I, for one, like Jesse's show. I do NOT trust Big Brother any further than I can throw them. I think we would be totally be "surprised" what they know and keep from the people.

I think Jesse has a Paranoid Complex , he used his money / or talked producers / into doing those Conspiracy Shows and , yeah , just like everyone else, I sat down and gave Jesse an ear to see what he had to say....but afterwhile it was time to turn the channel....

YES there are alot of things going on and being kept from the general public but the Gov't looks at those who try to climb the walls to get at Area 51 as FOOLS !

In other words, Jesse looked pretty silly standing there trying to find the crashed space ship from Roswell and the martians from 1945 , some 60 years ago....But I DO believe they did hide that there ( maybe ) but moved it YEARS ago...I do NOT believe its still in there...

Can you for once just make comments relating to the thread and keep your political bias's out?

You want to comment on political issues there is a thread for them.

I think to live a life suspicious of everything takes too much energy.
Even if it were true....knowledge of it wouldn't change the event.
Makes for an interesting conversation with friends or coworkers though.

Ugh! Maybe co-workers and friends, but not with people like say ..... my parents! If I disagree with them, all hell breaks loose.

On a related note, I notice the Hoff has his own reality show now. I'm just wondering when I'm gonna get my show!!!

Welcome to Obama's "nanny country".

People who figure out how to disable the "feature" in the car will make big $$.
