There are others out there. What about Gitmo. It was to be closed, now it isn't. So what makes anyone think that torture is stopped? We were not going to allow AIG to give bonses, but wait, no one will stop them, and you know what? In the near future we will hand out more bailouts. The banking system has us over a barrel. I don't think Obama can do anything other than what he is told to do.

Why is Bush not being prosecuted? Is it because what he did was all part of a plan anyway? Why are the CEO not being tried? Why not fired? Why do we still have the Patriot Act?

These CEO treaten us with a Depression, while they take the money and buy up more banks and businesses with it. And of course if we don't give them the money we will be in a Depression, but then it could happen anyway, but what do they care?

At least there is a few people in this forum who are not narrow minded. Thank you to all of you who have watched the video with an open mind.

If none of this is true, then it would be nice if some people here would prove it is all a lie instead of just bashing the messenger. I am sure that he and others would really like it to be all lies.

Wow, just watched the film. It is certainly thought provoking.

I don't know what to think about it. My instinct is to say it's ridiculous... but it sure is jarring. All I can say for sure is that they certainly make an interesting arguement by connecting the dots of US history and events.

I just hope the film is NOT true because the theories proposed are disturbing and frightening.

Even if one does not "buy" the entire thing, I think just about everyone would learn some new piece of info they did not know before.

I did not realize the Federal Reserve Banks were privately owned.

The Federal Reserve System ... is the central banking system of the United States. Created in 1913 .... it is a quasi-public (government entity with private components) banking system[1] that comprises (1) the presidentially appointed Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Washington, D.C.; (2) the Federal Open Market Committee; (3) twelve regional privately-owned Federal Reserve Banks located in major cities throughout the nation acting as fiscal agents for the U.S. Treasury, each with its own nine-member board of directors; (4) numerous other private U.S. member banks, which subscribe to required amounts of non-transferable stock in their regional Federal Reserve Banks; and (5) various advisory councils.

You can always find and write down a claim in the film and google it to see what comes up. If I find a claim to be outrageous, then I jot it down, and do my online research about it....plenty of stuff out there. Worst thing you can do is sit back there and hope that things are not true.

not sure how you write down a claim. Can you explain? The video is disturbing. There is even a book written about Bilderberg and a long write up about them.
