Decent watches.  Contains a good bit of info as well as crap.  Which parts are which of course is the stuff that makes for great and deep discussions.

I made a thread about this.
I believe what they're saying. I accidently stumbled on to it cause someone told me "the dollar isn't backed by gold"
which is the exact opposite of what they teach in schools even colleges.
Amazing.

So yeah i believe, I'm not sure that the plan isn't so well nitted we can't get out if we want though.
I watched the esoteric agenda also, seen it?

Brilliant stuff. Not too much new info other than the astrological literary nature of Christ, but the presentation style made up for it greatly. The end still scars the hell out of me. But it pisses me off more at the bastards that orchestrate these things.
"No, no, don't think, Maya." Ritsuko chided. "We will not gattai the Evas or their pilots.

Such thoughts lead inevitably to transformation sequences."

To be honest, i didn't like the 9/11 part. Regardless of what happened, we have seen so much info i get a headache when someone mentions that date.
About religion - i liked that. It's not like i didn't know most stuff (except the aeon thing, didn't know that :O), but in the documentary the info is compiled, not scattered around.

The addendum really got me though - it was all very good, until a little bit before the end when he starting talking about the dream community (not that i didn't like the idea, but i will definitely not be alive when/if that happens). Especially the first part, about how capitalism/banks work to increase money was simply awesome.

Really ? Wow.
(Schools don't matter that much IMO, it's fine to come back on it later on and say "what you learned wasn't quite accurate...")

This thread did make me realize I didn't know anything about the transition from the gold standard to the current system, so I went to read:

I can't say I understand all of it in depth but it's interesting.

A very old topic, but I just watched both of them. Heh, nothing really new to me, I have always keenly followed the scams, assassinations, revolutions and whatnot caused by American money. Nice to see it all in one package though and I liked the clip from 1976 where the guy wanted everyone to become angry.

Despite there not being a gold standard, the US holds about 1/3rd the world's gold.

That is a respectable amount of gold for sure... There's a company, at least operating in Europe, that plans on making ATMs that give out gold instead for investors. I'll try to find a link for that, too.

Slightly different, but worth it. Watch religulous, it's a good laugh!

Good movies, but discernment is an essential skill for finding the truth. I've put tons of hours into researching the New Age/New World Order agenda and trust me, it's only the tip of the iceberg.
