Call me nuts but...
As a citizen of this planet (and that is how I view myself) I have come to the conclusion that all is not as is presented in our world, that is there are forces unknown pulling the stings of our political leaders and world events are planned and staged by groups behind the scenes. You can take that with a grain of salt as I have never been one to accept anything at its face value. That being said, My personal investigation into the above leads me to ask certain questions of certain people from all sectors of the planet. Keep in mind this is a personal project and I’m not pushing any agenda. For the last year or so, when I meet Americans I always steer the conversation so that I can ask two questions. The first is “Is the federal reserve a government entity or a privately owned institution?” eighty percent of those questioned believe it is part of the US government. The second question “ When the two world trade towers fell, are you aware that a third tower, building seven collapsed in its own footprint at freefall speed roughly five hours after buildings one and two fell?” Almost ninety percent have no idea of this fact. My conclusion is that this information is not being shared by the main stream media, or people are not paying attention. I post this to see what your reaction is? As I said no agenda from my part, just an ongoing investigation on my part, trying to place the pieces in a very large and complex puzzle because…I think something, somewhere is terribly wrong with this globe on which we live…

For those who have not seen it watch this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...83847743189197
It is movie length but it explains where Michael is coming from. It's worth a watch even if you are not into 'conspiracy theories'.

Well OK...It's connected to where I'm coming from but I have to consider that film as the opinion of a certain group or an individual and as such it is most definitely evidence I pay attention to but I don't regard it as gospel...Yet! :)
It is a compelling work for sure and does represent the type of personal search I've been on for quite some time but again, I don't take anything at face value so it needs to be scrutinized. Having said that, yes that's where I'm coming from :)
PS...I said earlier that I don't have an agenda and that.s not entirely true. My agenda is this...My desire is that people look around and question the world in which they live, give this type of material as much of their focus as they do Reality TV or American Idol or NFL games or what have you. If people like me and a growing number of others are wrong then we were idiots right out of the gate and you've lost nothing, you can giggle about us over another beer on Friday night at the local pub...But if were right!...You need to know...NOW! I'm not selling anything here, just simply asking people to use their own minds and critical thought processes and not just complacently accept what is fed them by people who may not have your best interests at heart. What do we tell our children..."Well I was just on the bus with the others and never thought to ask the destination...We thought the driver knew!" The nut of it is...The driver does know...Do you?

Very interesting Michael, these are things I've wondered about myself. And I think you're right in your cautious approach on the subject as the population at large is likely to look at anyone who speaks of this as being either a nutty conspiracy theorist, or politically incorrect in some cases.

Thanks...My best friend and I when we were teens made up a little song which has stuck with me over the years, maybe not a song but a chorus..."We're doing what we're sposed to do, sposed to do, sposed to do...We're doing what we're sposed to do, moo, moo, moo," In short it means...The general population will follow blindly like a cow to slauter, so I'm not too concerned how they view people like me. But caution is the word as the herd can tag you pretty quick :)

I too am a very curious person and ask loads of questions and take everything I hear and see from the media with a grain of salt. Traditional media is slowly changing in our favour. By the time it gets on T.V., it's old news. Twitter, facebook and other social media give you the 'news' almost in real time and normally without corporate biases. (Course ALL news from any source is somewhat biased based on the teller but it's way worse in traditional media where 'other' agendas massage what we see/hear/think).
BTW - If you haven't seen it yet, I'd bet hard on the fact that you will love the film The International with Clive Owen.

if the population at large can use the power we yield to think out of the box, act by common sense, consume wisely, save the middle class from extinction and delusion, and allow a "quiet revolution" of sorts to gain momentum, I can see things slowly changing for the better. Yes, I'm talking about little things like where we buy our goods, how we conduct our lives environmentally speaking, even what we watch on TV. Am I even close to being a passenger on your train of thought here? Or am I way out in irrelevant land still trying to find the ticket booth?
Edit- okay I watched the zeitgeist movie now, I guess I eventually found my way to the ticket booth, after getting lost a couple times along the way while looking for the restroom......

I can't take this thread any further without generating a firestorm and that is not my intention. I just hope people keep questioning what they read and hear in the media ESPECIALLY the US media! I consider myself Very fortunate to live in a country like Canada I wouldn't live anywhere else at this time in the worlds history. Finally I'll go out on a limb and say this. Watch carefully our neighbor to the south, I predict along with others, that the US economy will totally collapse before the end of this year and I'll bet my life if not then, before the end of 2010. If I'm wrong, you know where I live, you can all come by my place and poke me with a stick :) The people in the USA have to reclaim their government and country before it's too late...Nuff said!

Ok, I just watched Zeitgeist again after watching the original version in 07...Wow! I had forgotten how powerful that piece is. I love the opening dialogue...Brilliant! I was raised a christian and remained stedfast in my belief until age 24. I wanted to be a writer in those days. One night while alone for ten days in the middle of nowhere I began to write. I let my hand write whatever came to my mind. Mostly it was nonsensical gibberish but suddenly I was desperately trying to keep up with the information coming from my brain, it flowed for maybe half an hour. When it stopped, I read what I had written, walked out of the cabin into the snowy night, looked up at the sky and yelled...IT'S OVER! I have not followed any religious belief since that moment.
As far as 911 goes, I've been studying the evidence for five or six years and am 100% convinced it was an inside job. I don't expect anyone else to concur, you have to spend countless hours pouring over the evidence from both official and non official sources and make your own call. For me there is no turning back on that call, it was engineered and enacted by the government of the United States of America to gain critical public support for the war/s in the Middle East...Bar none!
Central banks? well again one only need do the research, no myth here they are large and in charge but this has been known for sixty some odd years.
So like I said, call me a whack job all you want but before you make that call, please do the math yourself and don't just regurgitate what you have been told.
Either way, the piper will some day have to be paid :)
PS...It occurs to me that where I'm at today is right smack in the middle of the dialogue beginning at 9:00 into the film...The truth will set you free, but you have to look!
Enough already from me, I'll leave it at that, I promise :)

While I do not disagree with most of the thoughts here I have to interject one comment.
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.
Now, I'm not saying that this explains it all away as movies like Zeitgeist, Sicko, Fahrenheit 911, and others certainly make you wonder just what is real and what is not.
