Ok, ive read this thread and Im gonna try and avoid bein too biased or repeating too much of the same, but heres a few points as I see them.
U cant sit here and mouth off about how summit is bullshit/truth if u cant even b bothered to watch them. Wether these videos are trying to warn u/scare u is immaterial if ur conclusion is based on judgement before examining or even considering the evidence.
Question everything, U owe it to urself as a human being. EVERTYTHING we have ever been told or taught has been passed through someone else, there has always been propaganda, there has always been bias and there has always been "chinese whispers". Consider everything U are ever told, especially by those who hold the power.

We let our idiots yell, gather, spread their nonsense, and expect the average citizen to be well enough educated that they know the difference.

Yes were lucky to have free media and freedom of speech, so dont knock it. Lettin ppl voice their oppinion is no way a bad thing even if it paranoid and delluded, besides there is always some truth in fiction and vice versa. Throughout history, human beings hav always been trying to take each others freedom away. None of us can sit here thinking we are safe from all that. Read a book called "beyond Good and Evil" by a philosopher called Friedrich Nietzsche and read about "the will to power". Freedom is summit we hav to fight for and ignorance is not bliss.
The reason we hav so called "democracy" is so tht the average joe like u n me can hav our say and stop the bigwigs doin as they please wit us, in order to this u hav to listen to what ppl r trying to say, regadless of wether u think its all bullshit in the end. Lets also remember tht governements hav a tendancy to admit scandals they have commited by releasing previously classified documents like 70 yrs after they happened. What makes anyone think nothing is goin on behind out bcks now?
Coincedences mayb coincedences, but u will never kno tht, check the facts for urself before deciding anything ever.
Finally, this post wasnt supposed to b a rant and it was supposed to be neutral, im not attacking or defending anyone individually here, just putting things as I see it. I appologise to karek for dissecting ur post, it just happend to b a good example. And for anyone who read all this.......well done lol.
They say they are putting up fences to keep the wolves out, but maybe they are there to keep us locked IN
