I have no idea, but I found the source of Alex Jone's video, which is a book that I presented here. He came to his talk radio show? Anyway, the man has been researching this issue for 50 years or more and has written this book that some say has no documents to prove that these people are doing what he says they are doing, but that it is a good spy novel. Now whether there is some truth to it or not, I don't know.

I think there is some truth to what Alex Jones says but how to divide fiction from fact? There were things in that video that I can't believe, such as his saying that we don't have global warming, when in fact the ice caps are melting. I doubt if his 9/11 theory is true. But who really runs the show behind Washington? I don't know. I have listen to Rush Limbaugh recently, and it is easy to see through him.

Agree that you can google facts.
The problem I find is that ... are the facts actually connected as they are portrayed in the film or are they indeed totally unrelated facts and the filmmaker has simply made a convincing arguement linking them together?

Also.. How about this Irony...

YOUR new leader is also a former substance-abuser (Beck was drinker but Obama loves the white powder).... Has NO executive experience, yet he feels qualified to be the Executive branch of our government.. Seriously, what's happened to the Dems & Republicans is mind boggling... Anything to keep the people distracted and divided... Keep playing into it "moving forward" and you will ensure your Screen Name never becomes a reality....
Yes, actually I have.

No, Beck was an alcoholic. Obama used drugs off and on, like most people of his generation did. You never did coke back in the early 80s? If not, that's seriously weird.

Seriously weird if you didn't do an addictive drug like cocaine during the 80's?

Wow. Just, wow.

I don't know what generation you come from, but in my generation, the majority of people tried drugs. Sorry if you're just finding out about that.

Did TONS of pot. Cocaine is highly addictive from friends who've had to get off it.

Then again, I'm sure there are a lot of people trying to act cool saying "yeah, I tried it". Probably a lot of C/Ders as well

I tried pot a few times. Hated it. And yes, cocaine is very addictive. All drugs suck, basically.
