Dear brett,
Thanks for posting this. I went through most of it, skipping the chapter on the Sept. 11 attacks because it was going to go on and on about theories regarding how the event happened, and that is really besides the point. It doesn’t matter how it happened, it happened, and it served the strategic interests of the Anglo-American Imperial faction. So, this part was irrelevant.
Now, it’s never a good sign when a documentary starts off with a hectic montage. Television and movies have quit cuts because they’re not sure of anything, they’re not sure of themselves, except in their own ability to make a mess, to confuse people and create a hard to analyse impression. So this beginning implies hopelessness, and the documentary is indeed an expression of hopelessness. This is a dangerous type of documentary, one that inflames anarchist and similar sentiments. It builds a frustration in the breast that can’t be appeased because there are no truthful principles being expressed in it, only “connect the dots” kind of conspiratorial evidence. And being frustrated, and scared, the person feels hopeless, and they either get angry and fight some kind of substitute, or they get hedonistic and try to forget about it.
The relevant principle here is the principle of cognition, which defines man as man, and allows him to increase his mastery over the universe by discovering, transmitting, and assimilating universal physical principles. The enemy, the Imperialists, and kindred factions, want to suppress all potential for expressing it, in order to generate a worldwide Pax Americana of vastly reduced population in the charge of the Anglo-American Imperialists. Cognition is a threat to their power because it demands and amplifies freedom, high education, high standards of infrastructure, and continual improvement, which empires are not interested in.
The problem with the documentary as a whole, is that it doesn’t recognise power when it sees it, namely Christianity and FDR. Jesus obviously existed, because early Christianity was a political movement against Rome, the original fascist empire, and political movements need leaders. They don’t operate based on committees, they need a powerful leader to rally them and organise a consistent strategy. The strategy of Jesus turned out to be preaching to the people that they were made in the image of the Creator, that they had that creative power within them as a living potential, that they were fundamentally different from animals. A unique threat to the empire, Rome and the Jewish elite of the day had him destroyed, and his willingness to become immortal in terms of ongoing effective principle of action in the universe, at the cost of horrible torture and murder, set the Christian experiment in motion, the experiment without which we would not have seen the Renaissance, the birth of modern science with Nicolaus of Cusa (d.1464), and, ultimately the birth of the United States of America, the abolition of slavery, and the Apollo program. No Christianity, no science and art as we know it.
But, where it really gets turned on its head, is when the narrator accuses the powers that be of “playing both sides” even as he criticizes Franklin D. Roosevelt as being a part of those powers! How can this be? Hitler is shown as a menace to civilisation, very scary, but Roosevelt, who defeated Hitler is shown as being part of the international banking elite and thus just as bad as Hitler! His maneuverings to go to war against fascist Japan are listed as though they were acts of immorality. Fascist Japan! Rape-of-Nanking Japan! Yet America wasn’t supposed to go to war against the Axis, it was supposed to stay neutral and let fascism take the Earth. So, we have an absurdity here that begs addressing.
Roosevelt was a great leader in the tradition of the American System of economy, as an alternative to both Marxism and capitalism (both of British origin), and intrinsically opposed to the fascism that was originally represented by Napoleon I, and was reborn with Adolf Hitler and Bennito Mussolini, all forms of tyranny in express imitation of Imperial Rome. Roosevelt was the American human answer to Hitler’s werewolf. Roosevelt embodied a system capable of expressing and defending humanity qua humanity whereas Hitler created a system capable of maximal evil on both the individual and the economic level.
The true “man behind the curtain” to watch out for isn’t Mr. Wizard, it’s the elderly narrator talking about the way to destroy a nation, which is to either bomb it to ruin or, better, to get the populace to destroy itself. Namely, Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.. I notice he was used without being quoted, nor was his picture given. That is a telling omission, because no one has a more optimistic view of the real situation than he does. He works within the American System as well, the Classical Humanist tradition, and operates on the basis of principle, not hectic montages or incoherent denunciations of great American leaders. He’s aware of the move to chip people, but the hidden card no one is looking at here is that the economy is precarious, it’s been punched full of huge holes for the past forty years, and this world empire the Anglo-American Imperalists are working on won’t last very long, if it were even possible to consolidate it, which it might not. The only question is whether we can rescue our heritage from sliding along down into destruction with them.
The final resolution? Instead of developing principles, we have, once again, no principles, just trite hippy nonsense about how we are all "one" and how "love" must conquer "power", in order to know (postcoital?) peace. This is something a Goddess worshipping lunatic from fascist imperial Rome might have said! The film proceeds to talk about how life is "just a ride" and isn't real and how people reincarnate from the Other Side to tell us this, for whatever reason. I mean, talk about coming full circle from debunking hokum religion to promoting hokum religion. People who are serious about civilisation should start with LaRouche, and develop a more appropriately human critical eye about these sorts of documentaries. They contain useful information, especially concerning the banking system and the like, but they embody powerlessness in their very method, because they give people nothing to hang on to except fear.
